E-learning platform evaluation by using CoALa

This work describes the evaluation of problems students have with Moodle2 - an e-learning platform. Special focus lies on international students who could overcome language problems by using learning technology. This includes investigation of how the definition ofproblem generating factors can be evaluated by using the evaluation tool CoALa based on the research method Repertory Grid. An evaluation was done with international students, at Technische Universita&t Ilmenau, Germany, in November 2015, in order to evaluate advantages and barriers of Moodle2. Results show that the motivation to use Moodle2 may be rather extrinsic provided by the professor and motivational support is less provided by the e-learning platform itself.
