Abstract: In this paper we present a quality model based on the software engineering paradigms, which is applied to evaluate digital learning content, specifically, games for mobile platforms. The model is called Quantitative Evaluation Framework (QEF), and measures system quality throughout its development life cycle. QEF evaluates the educational software quality, particularly the digital learning content (ISO 9126 is the standard of reference) in a three-dimensional space. Every dimension aggregates a set of factors. A factor is a component that represents the system performance from a particular point of view. The quality of a given system is defined and evaluated in our tri-dimensional Cartesian quality space in relation to a hypothetical ideal system represented in our quality space by the coordinates (1, 1, 1).
