Abstract: Software development is currently experiencing significant growth, and the need to improve user interfaces is an important factor. Given this situation, interface design patterns have emerged as a new means of improving the user experience. However, their use has not been adequately studied for use in specific domains such as education. For this reason, it is necessary to analyze design patterns for mobile applications in order to determine the best design patterns for improving the quality and usefulness of applications, more specifically in educational environments. Having this into account, this paper presents an analysis and classification of mobile UI patterns in order to understand their applicability for the educational domain. We present a comparative table of mobile UI patterns implemented on several platforms.
Keywords: User interface, mobile platforms, educational applications.
