However, survival of these materials is concerned with how much they are adopted by the users. Usability studies with users can help in designing an efficient and user-friendly online learning material and its interfaces. The aim of the current research is to reveal the kinds of perceptions users have towards the usability of an online learning material which would guide the modifications and improvements to be made on it. Therefore, both quantitative and qualitative data has been collected from the users and the collected data analyzed descriptively and with qualitative data analysis methods. The findings of the study are supposed to be used by the practitioners as a to-do list for improvements to be made on the prototype and guide other practitioners how to implement a usability study in the development phase of an online learning material, tool or system.}, number={4}
