Development and Evaluation of an Application for Sharing Information About Courses

Learning Management Systems (LMSs) such as Moodle are nowadays widely employed in higher education institutions. They enable teachers to publish educational materials and students to use them. Since students are not allowed to publish materials, they are turning to alternative ways of sharing information, most commonly through social networks. However, this approach of sharing information has a number of flaws such as poor content structure, lack of filtering options, and the fact that information shared by senior students are not available to their junior colleagues. This paper introduces the application whose purpose is addressing the aforementioned issues. Apart from functionalities that facilitate management and organization of content being shared, the application also has implemented gamification elements that encourage continuous use by students. With an aim to examine to what degree the application is accepted by students, an empirical study was carried out. Study findings are presented and discussed.
