Session description
Moodle's system architecture and user interface design are predominantly student-focused. As users of Moodle, students experience efficient workflows and follow short navigation paths to resources, contrasting adjunct faculty users who experience inefficient workflows and complex navigational paths.
Adjunct faculty are infrequent users of the College Moodle system. A consequence of their infrequent use is that it takes them a long time to build up expertise in the system. Their infrequent use, inefficient workflows and complex navigational paths lead to user frustration and poor time use.
The College's R&D lead in the digital learning department conducted a user experience study with adjunct faculty to understand their Moodle experience.
This presentation will highlight the principal issues raised by adjunct faculty during the study and how WordPress was used to deploy the solution.
Gutenberg is the key for non-developer teams to convert sketches into functional user interfaces, driving higher education faculty productivity.
