Usability and User Evaluation of an Integrated Multimedia E-Learning Management System
Knowledge Management & E-Learning, v13 n3 p334-366 Sep 2021
The usability of multimedia E-Learning management systems (MEMSs) is critical as it leverages institutions in the educational value chain. The paper aims to investigate the usability effect of an integrated MEMS called Towards Student-Centered Integration of Multimedia E-Learning (TSIME) used at the University of Zimbabwe. This study adopted a quantitative approach, where two self-administered questionnaires were used to gather data on a sample of students and lecturers (n = 492) across ten faculties. Design quality, interaction and feedback, content availability and ethical issues were key independent variable constructs while attitude towards use, overall satisfaction, and likelihood to use TSIME being dependent variables. The results were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The structural Equation Model was used to measure how multimedia design features influence overall satisfaction and likelihood to use. The results showed that ethical issues and content availability were not influencing the use of TSIME while attitude influenced overall usage and satisfaction. Interaction and feedback, as well as design quality, have a significant effect on the likelihood to use TSIME.
