| Περίληψη: | This dissertation focused on the development and evaluation of
MathOverflow, a web-based question and answer (Q&A) app designed
specifically for math-related content. The objective of MathOverflow is
to create a dedicated platform for students, educators, and math
enthusiasts to engage in collaborative problem-solving, knowledge
sharing, and community building. The thesis discusses the limitations and
potential challenges encountered during the development process and
presents the results and methodology of the evaluation. The evaluation,
which ensured ecological validity, involved the participation of 100 users
who actively utilized MathOverflow in real-world conditions. By
engaging participants in their natural environments, the study aimed to
capture authentic user experiences and behaviours on the platform. Real
data collected during the evaluation allowed for an assessment of the
app's effectiveness and usability in practical settings. The findings
contribute to the broader understanding of web-based Q&A platforms for
mathematical knowledge management and exchange. The statistical
analysis revealed a high average SUS score of 81.6250, indicating that
participants perceived the system or interface usability as relatively high.
Additionally, the chi-square analysis explored the relationship between
variables such as voting time, prior experience with Q&A applications,
and education level. These findings provide insights into the influence of
these variables on user behavior and interaction within the web
application. Furthermore, the document presents the architecture of
MathOverflow, highlighting the technologies used in its development,
and provides an overview of the app's various functions and features.
This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the technical aspects of the
application's implementation and showcases its capabilities in supporting
efficient mathematical collaboration and problem-solving.
