چکیده

English As Information and Communication Technology (ICT) becomes more widely used, it is increasingly important to develop methods of preparing and evaluating user-friendly e-learning content. This preparation and evaluation should not only evaluate content with respect to traditional learning strategies, but should also aim to increase accessibility as well. The article presents development and design solutions for ECDL e-learning modules in the framework of two Learning Management Systems (LMS), eCampus and Moodle. E-learning contents in Moodle were further adapted for persons with special needs. The central part of the article presents potential methods for testing the usability of e-learning content. This is followed by a more precise assessment of the appropriateness of SUMI (Software Usability Measurement Inventory) usability evaluation. The concluding part answers the question of whether SUMI evaluation can be used as a global and limited evaluation method to quickly identify possible system weaknesses. Hungarian Az információs és kommunikációs technológiák (IT) egyre szélesebb körű használata következtében mind fontosabbá válik a felhasználóbarát e-tanulási környezetek előkészítési és értékelési modelljeinek a kidolgozása. Ennek az előkészítésnek és értékelésnek nemcsak a tartalmat kell értékelnie a hagyományos tanulási stratégiák tükrében, hanem a hozzáférésen is javítania kell. Ez a tanulmány fejlesztési és megjelenési javaslatokat kínál ECDL e-tanulásmoduloknak két Tanulásmenedzsment Rendszer, az eCampus és a Moodle keretein belül. A Moodle keretein belül az e-tanulás elveit speciális szükségletű emberekre szabták tovább. A cikk fő része az e-tanulási környezet használhatóságára hoz potenciális tesztelési mintákat. Ezt követően a SUMI (Szoftver Felhasználhatóság Mérés Eszköztár) használhatóságértékelés megfelelőségének pontosabb értékelése következik. A konklúzióban arra a kérésre keres választ, hogy a SUMI értékelés használható-e globális és korlátozott értékelési eszközként a rendszer gyenge pontjainak gyors megtalálásához.
