Abstract

This paper presents a usability evaluation of a novel educational platform for students and teachers, focusing on exam creation and monitoring. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the study assessed effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction in alignment with ISO-9241-11 standards. Both students and teachers demonstrated 100% task effectiveness, highlighting the platform's adaptability and inclusivity. Task completion times, while generally acceptable, revealed variability, emphasizing the need for optimization. Usability questionnaire results indicated positive perceptions of Ease of Learning and Satisfaction, affirming the platform's user-friendly design. The platform effectively facilitates accessible assessments, demonstrating its potential in fostering inclusive educational environments. Future work aims to optimize task times, enhance accessibility features, and refine the user interface, ensuring continuous improvement and broader applicability across diverse educational institutions.
