Teachers' and Students' Perception Regarding the Use of Moodle

Abstract

This paper seeks to analyse the perceptions of students and teachers regarding the factors that influence satisfaction and the intention to continue using Moodle. An approach that integrates DeLone and McLean's Information Systems Success Model to Davis' Technology Acceptance Model is used. The two models are widely used in research related to the context of e-learning. A quantitative methodological approach was assumed, based on the post-positivist paradigm. Data collection was carried out employing a self-administered questionnaire developed in Google Forms. Descriptive analysis techniques were applied for the data analysis of 144 valid questionnaires. The results showed that teachers and students have a positive perception of the ease of use and usefulness of Moodle, besides evidencing those users are satisfied and intend to continue using Moodle. This research contributes to the formation of knowledge about the perception of Moodle users as support for classroom teaching, providing helpful information for educational institutions, researchers, managers, administrators, and designers of e-learning systems.
