Abstract

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.
