The development of a LOR user interface Lo-fi prototype using the bruno munari method

Learning Objects (LOs), are digital or non digital educational resources which can support the educational process, and its main characteristic is reusability. They can be found in Learning Object Repositories (LORs). Usability issues in these repositories may be possible obstacles which can make the possibility of reuse very difficult. One of these issues, is related to the fact that the user interface design presented in some LORs, aren't intuitive. This paper aims to present a method which propose the concept and development of an intuitive and user-friendly Lo-fi prototype, the Bruno Munari Method. This method proposed visual aesthetics for the Lo-fi prototype. Some results obtained in the Systematic Review and Heuristic Evaluation were important to get data which could add up relevant information related to the usability in three analyzed LORs. With these data, it was possible to propose usability checklists for LORs, theoritical basis for the Lo-fi prototype's development.
