Usability Evaluation of Tadarus: Student Perceptions

Today, higher education institutes face challenges when dealing with digital natives. As a result of the explosion of online learning materials and the rapid growth in information technologies and the Internet, there are increasing demands to adopt a learning management system (LMS) that complies with student aspirations by addressing their requirements. However, successful applications of LMSs are dependent on the extent to which they are adopted by users. One important aspect affecting adoption is usability, and specifically user friendly features. This study aims to reveal student perceptions toward the usability of Tadarus, a learning management system. The findings of this study could be utilized to establish a useful guide by which practitioners could improve the basic features of the system, as well as to help tutors to better implement online learning materials within the system.
