Abstract
Description
This paper describes the first prototype of an integrated tool that assists people in monitoring and analytical
evaluation of interactivity, mediated by a Dynamic Hypermedia Device (DHD). To carry out this practice, the
basic technological elements are explained, as well as a model which takes into account experiences related to
the addition of new components in implementations solved for this kind of framework. Furthermore, it is also
explained how the tool articulates the simulation results obtained from a runtime DEVS (Discrete Event System)
that integrates the metrics needed for flexible weights. All the technological developments have been adapted to
the educational platform MOODLE as well as to SAKAI collaborative environment. To exemplify this
development, a use case has been presented providing functional features and details that outline the
methodological steps of the model from the final users’ perspective. Thus, an analysis which enables qualitative
versatile units in terms of levels of interactivity to the DHD has been achieved.
