Abstract

Learning management platforms are widely used in the courses in different levels. The goal of this research is to investigate the usability of the Blackboard platform a popular learning management platform. We use an eye-tracking method to investigate the usability of the platform. The analysis provided information about the points where students had difficulty interacting. The results of this experiment are intended to be used for designing a visual user interface for the instructors and students to improve the usability and user-friendliness of the learning platforms.
