Comparative study of Canvas and Google Classroom Learning Management Systems using usability heuristics
2021 (English)Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
Abstract [en]

Learning management systems (LMS) are playing a key role in the education systems. Education institutions are using LMS platforms to make the communication and collaboration between teacher and student easier, which inspired this study to measure the user satisfaction in using the different platforms applying usability heuristics. The survey evaluation is used to measure user satisfaction. The main objective of this study is to measure the user experience while using interactive interfaces. The selected LMS platforms for the research are canvas and google classroom. The experiment involves creating dummy course in the selected LMS platforms, fabricating the course assignments, gathering the users, and enrolling them into the platforms. The enrolled set of users will complete the assignments and take a survey on their experience with the platforms. Time taken by each user to complete assignments and survey are recorded and collected off-time comments. The responses of the survey are collected and graphically will interpret each question. Statistical attributes like populated variance and standard deviation are calculated for measuring the user experiences, and they are tabulated for the LMS platforms. User satisfaction on the canvas and google classroom was measured using usability heuristics. From the survey results, we can conclude that the canvas web application obeys all the usability heuristics, whereas the google classroom obeys only seven of the usability heuristics.
