Usability testing of online learning content as used in two learning management systems - Matjaž Debevc, EURODL
As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) becomes more widely used, it is increasingly important to develop methods of preparing and evaluating user-friendly online learning content. This preparation and evaluation should not only evaluate content with respect to traditional learning strategies, but should also aim to increase accessibility as well. The article presents development and design solutions for ECDL e-learning modules in the framework of two Learning Management Systems (LMS), eCampus and Moodle. E-learning contents in Moodle were further adapted for persons with special needs. The central part of the article presents potential methods for testing the usability of e-learning content. This is followed by a more precise assessment of the appropriateness of SUMI (Software Usability Measurement Inventory) usability evaluation. The concluding part answers the question of whether SUMI evaluation can be used as a global and limited evaluation method to quickly identify possible system weaknesses.
