Evaluation of a Progressive Web Application for Gamified Programming Learning

Abstract

With the growing proliferation of mobile devices, the interest in mobile learning environments increases. While many of them are provided as web apps, with limited effort they can be converted to Progressive Web Apps, providing user experience more resembling native mobile apps. In this work, we investigate, using the case of an open-source gamified programming learning environment FGPE PLE, how the user experience of its PWA version accessed on a mobile device compares to the user experience of the same learning environment yet accessed via a desktop browser.
