Alessandro Inversini, Luca Botturi, Luca Triacca · EdMedia: World Conference on Educational Media and Technology · 2006
This paper reports the method and results of a comparative usability study conducted on four Learning Management Systems (LMS), two commercial and two Open Source. The results suggest that there is no single most usable LMS, and that there is no significant difference in the usability of commercial vs. Open Source applications for eLearning. Finally, the paper proposes some simple workarounds that teachers and instructional developers can exploit in order to fix some LMS usability problems in student interface.
