Electronic learning offers many advantages, yet teachers and students cannot fully exploit all learning management system tools, and even when used, the most effective approach for each module remains unclear. The study evaluates the usability of standard Moodle modules. Usability was assessed through systematic evaluation of Moodle’s standard modules. The evaluation yields actionable insights for administrators, teachers, and students to enhance Moodle usage.
The electronic way of learning and communicating with students offers a lot of advantages that can be achieved through different solutions. Among them, the most popular approach is the use of a learning management system. Teachers and students do not have the possibility to use all of the available learning system tools and modules. Even for modules that are used it is necessary to find the most effective method of approach for any given situation. Therefore, in this paper we make a usability evaluation of standard modules in Moodle, one of the leading open source learning management systems. With this research, we obtain significant results and informationpsilas for administrators, teachers and students on how to improve effective usage of this system.
