Development and evaluation of a mobile educational application to support teaching of management of process in Operating Systems

Educational processes are related to the form of communication between teacher and student, in which it is clear that the use of educational mobile applications has become an element of motivation and collaboration for both. In this context, it is proposed the development of an educational mobile application called AlgOS, which aims to support the teaching and learning of process management in Operating Systems. Through an intuitive interface, the application is equipped not only with simulations of the main process scheduling algorithms, but also with theoretical studies and fixation exercises, constituting an increase in interactivity between teacher-student, making the learning of the content more pleasurable and dynamics. AlgOS was developed for the Android platform and in experimental classroom applications it has been proved to be a highly accepted application with great potential for expansion.
