Abstract

An online discussion board called the Collab2learn Discussion Board (DB) enables participants’ to learn collaboratively within groups. Groups are limited in using different feedback formats; either textual or iconic. 57 participants from an institute of higher learning tested Collab2learn DB usability. System Usability Scale (SUS) was used to measure Collab2learn DB usability. Its average scores were compared between two different feedback formats (textual and iconic). Results indicated Collab2learn DB is a usable online discussion board however further improvements need to be done especially in the prototype’s functionalities integration and consistency.
