Development of Interactive Videos for Learning Management System Usage and Investigation of Users' Experiences
Abstract
Having a support system that provides novice users with quick and practical assistance for navigating learning management systems (LMS) is essential. This research aims to develop an interactive, video-based online tutorial with engaging elements for LMS usage at the Afyon Kocetepe University and to examine users' experiences. Despite the availability of a help-support structure for navigating the LMS interface, instructors have faced difficulties in adapting to it. To address this, we created a new modular and flexible online tutorial enhanced with multimedia components to assist users in navigating the LMS.The study employed a formative research method, presenting the tutorial to real users for evaluation. The findings revealed that the average usability score of the tutorial was 76.8. Additionally, the average scores for knowledge retention and transfer testscores related to the interactive video content were 73.2. No significant differences were found in usability scores, retention, or transfer test scores based on gender or field of study. In conclusion, the online tutorial, featuring interactive video content, demonstrated usability scores well above average and had a positive impact on both conceptual and procedural learning. These findings will provide valuable insights for the literature and inform future research focused on designing and implementing similar systems.
