Abstract

Today educational software has been a powerful tool in the teaching-learning process because it makes the teaching environment iterative. Higher level institutions have relied on SE focusing on distance learning, seeking to broaden their boundaries without discarding quality education. In view of this new way of supporting the construction of knowledge, this paper presents the results of a research carried out whose objective is to establish a careful evaluation to assess the quality of the UFGD (Federal University of Grande Dourados) Moodle platform in the user's perception. Therefore, a survey was built in order to evaluate the student's experience with the ES, as well as to assess if the available resources help in a relevant way the construction of knowledge. The results show that although most students evaluate the system as "regular" or "good" concepts, it is found that the non-compliance with usability criteria and international standards can interfere with the motivation of the user when using the system. undermine the achievement of the educational objectives designed by the institution.
