Abstract
This work addresses the problem of learning how to (i) design user interfaces (UIs) and (ii) evaluate their quality. We present an online collaborative multimedia system, the TELE-environment, to help UI designers and software engineers solve problems of modeling, usability and acceptability during the entire development process. The developer accesses the environment as a tool for assistance, aiming at learning design concepts, guidelines and activities. During the interaction, the environment provides assistance with textual descriptions, examples and similar solution cases in different media. Moreover, the environment provides a collaborative support that allows the interaction among developers in a synchronous or asynchronous way,
