Exploring the Perceived Ease of Use by Professors in Tesys e-Learning Platform

E-learning platforms are educational environments that have grown once with the information technology. They bring several features and advantages but there are also enough features that may be developed and others that may be explored. This paper presents an exploratory analysis regarding how the professor perceive the ease of use of the Tesys e-Learning platform. In order to perform the analysis, we use R and Wilcox statistics. We separated the data in two groups using the number of years and hours spent on the platform and tested them for group significant separation. The results show no difference between groups and so, we can conclude that all the subjects that completed the questionnaire are not influenced by other factors. There is also another implication of the results of this study because having the same results for both groups there is a consistency between all answers and the average grade a question got. Author
