Lecturers’ Evaluation of Moodle at the University of Public Service

Abstract

Due to the Covid-19 lockdown, the diffusion of digital learning methods has been accelerated. Several studies deal with students' satisfaction and the methodological challenges in the field before and during the lockdown, but another essential factor has received minimal attention. Understanding the lecturers' attitudes to new solutions deserves additional effort. This pilot study aims to explore lecturers' experience with Moodle based on a limited sample of 118 respondents at the University of Public Service, Budapest, Hungary. The results show that the lockdown led to a relevant increase in Moodle use, and a significant proportion of them continued to use the services of Moodle. The satisfaction with Moodle does not depend on age or faculty affiliations within the University. The results suggest targeted training for lecturers focusing on experimentalizing to enhance the recognition of Moodle use.
