Abstract

There are many Learning Management System in the market nowadays. However, there are none that specifically design to serve Outcome-based Education. King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi developed a system called KMUTT Learning Environment (LE). It has been used as a Learning Management System and Outcome-based Education tool. The low performance and adoption issues of the system cause the updated version named LEB2 to be implemented. This study attempts to find the usability problems in LEB2 before it will be released to the university community. The usability study in this research involves three aspects of usability; effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfactory. The study found that effectiveness and efficiency of the LEB2 system are below standard. And, satisfactory of the LEB2 system is also in marginal of unsatisfactory. The discussions and suggestions were given for further improvement.
