Özet

Abstract User experience, which is a field of human-computer transactions, is generally considered as “a person's perceptions and reactions that occur as a result of using a product, system or service. In parallel with the increasing number of users in online learning environments, user experience is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, more research is needed to consider these environments in terms of user experience. In this regard, a project has been designed by the researchers that aims to evaluate and improve all aspects of the user experience in online learning environments. In line with the data obtained and the analysis performed, the elements that should be taken into consideration when designing a new online learning environment will be revealed; and a model proposal will be developed. In this study, the Mergen online course platform used in Graduate Education programs in Anadolu University was evaluated based on the opinions of students and faculty members. The data collection tool consists of three parts: (1) Demographic Information, (2) Usability of the Mergen Learning Management System and (3) Opinions and Recommendations. The survey form has currently been answered by 96 students and 42 faculty members; however, the online application process is ongoing. As a result of the qualitative and quantitative data analysis to be carried out in the next stage, problems and deficiencies related to the current platform and content will be identified. Finally, suggestions will be made for a new design to improve the user experience. Keywords: Human-Computer Transaction; Learning Management; Usability; User Experience; Instructional Design
