Abstract

Teknolojideki gelişmelere paralel olarak internet
kullanımının eğitim üzerindeki etkisinin artmasıyla birlikte; açık kaynak kodlu
öğrenim yönetim sistemi (ÖYS) yazılımlarının eğitim hayatındaki yeri de giderek
artmaya başlamıştır. Çalışmada, açık kaynak kodlu ÖYS’den biri olan Moodle
(Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment-Modüler Nesne Yönelimli
Dinamik Öğrenme Ortamı) adlı ÖYS’nin kullanılabilirliği, aynı aracın 2.0
(2.5.1) ve 3.0 (3.3.4) sürümleri için analiz edilmiştir.  Kullanılabilirlik testlerine toplam 18
üniversite öğrencisi katılmıştır. Öğrenciler her iki sürümü de daha önce
kullanmış olan ikinci ve daha üst sınıflardan seçilmiştir. Deneylerde, Moodle
üzerinde öğrencilerin en çok gerçekleştirdiği düşünülen beş farklı görev
belirlenmiş ve söz konusu görevlere ilişkin etkililik ve memnuniyet boyutlarındaki
veriler kullanılabilirlik analiz yazılımı olan Morae yazılımıyla
kaydedilmiştir. Etkililik boyutu kapsamında görev tamamlanma süresi, fare
tıklama sayısı, iki veri girişi arasında geçen süre, fare hareket mesafesi
kriterleri değerlendirilirken, memnuniyet boyutu kapsamında sistem
kullanılabilirlik skorları dikkate alınmıştır. Sonuç olarak;  öğrencilerin Moodle sürüm 3.0 (3.3.4)’ın
kullanımından daha çok memnun kaldıkları ancak etkililik kapsamında sürümler
arasında öğrenciler açısından istatistiksel olarak herhangi bir farklılığın
olmadığı belirlenmiştir

COMPARATIVE USABILITY ANALYSIS OF MOODLE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM VERSIONS FROM STUDENT PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

With the increase in the effect of internet usage on education in parallel with the developments in technology; the place of open-source learning management system (LMS) software in educational life has started to increase gradually. In this study, the availability of an open-source LMS called Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment), the analysis of the same tool for versions 2.0 (2.5.1) and 3.0 (3.3.4) It was. A total of 18 university students participated in the usability tests. The students were selected from the second and higher classes that had previously used both versions. In the experiments, five different tasks which are thought to be the most performed by students on Moodle were determined and the data on effectiveness and satisfaction dimensions of these tasks were recorded with Morae software which is usability analysis software. In terms of effectiveness dimension, task completion time, the number of mouse clicks, the time between two data entries, mouse movement distance criteria were evaluated and system usability scores were taken into consideration in satisfaction dimension. As a result; it was found that students were more satisfied with the use of Moodle version 3.0 (3.3.4), but there was no statistically significant difference between the versions in terms of effectiveness.
