Abstract:
User experience design (UX design) of Learning Management Systems (LMS) is recently becoming more mobile device oriented, since large numbers of users are using mobile devices (smartphones primarily) to access learning content and activities. In this paper we will give an overview of device and platform use at the large HEI in Croatia (Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb), based on 3-year survey of first year undergraduate students (over 2100 respondents) as well as the possible steps to mitigate the issues with the mobile-oriented LMS interface (Moodle 4.x) when used on desktop devices. While move to the mobile-oriented interface design is helping most of the users, some of the teachers and content creators, who by default need to use desktop devices (PCs and laptops) have experienced certain issues with LMS usage: too large fonts and icons (designed for touchscreen and small screen devices), several features and navigation elements no longer initially visible (needs for additional interface clicks and new menus) and so on. Most of those issues could be mitigated using customized interface themes and modifications, but some require organizational and methodical changes that we will discuss in detail.
