Evaluation of Navigational Aspects of Moodle
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Learning Management System (LMS) is an effective platform for communication and collaboration among teachers and students to enhance learning. These LMSs are now widely used in both conventional and virtual and distance learning paradigms. These LMSs have various limitations as identified in the existing literature, including poor learning content, use of appropriate technology and usability issues. Poor usability leads to the distraction of users. Literature covers many aspects of usability evaluation of LMS. However, there is less focus on navigational issues. Poor navigational can lead to disorientation and cognitive overload of the users of any Web application. For this reason, we have proposed a navigational evaluation framework to evaluate the navigational structure of the LMS. We have applied this framework to evaluate the navigational structure of Moodle. We conducted a survey among students and teachers of two leading universities in Pakistan, where Moodle is in use. This work summarizes the survey results and proposes guidelines to improve the usability of Moodle based on the feedback received from its users.
