Abstract

Despite the availability of numerous models, instruments, and theoretical frameworks on user experience (UX) evaluation, significant challenges remain in understanding UX from a holistic perspective, both theoretically and methodologically. This work contributes to the UX research by integrating contextual perspectives with a specific focus on mobile applications. This study aims to evaluate user experience and to identify the key factors influencing efficiency, satisfaction, and the long-term acceptance of mobile applications5. In order to address these challenges, this study proposes a novel longitudinal and context-aware methodological framework that combines subjective self-reported measures with objective and behavioral data. This framework7 is empirically validated through a three-phase longitudinal field study conducted under real-life usage conditions, by employing the Moodle mobile application.
