The Digital Stories platform, an innovative educational tool, underwent a successful testing session organized by EU-Track on September 10, 2024, in Terracina, Italy. Held at the Institute Comprehensive "Milani," the event took place just before the start of the school year, providing a perfect opportunity to evaluate the platform’s usability and educational potential.
Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive. The platform was praised for its accessibility, with 90% of attendees strongly agreeing on ease of access and 100% finding navigation intuitive. The instructional video was lauded for its clarity, and the password recovery process received favourable reviews, though one participant noted slight uncertainty, possibly due to the platform's intuitive design. Additionally, over 80% found the logout function user-friendly, and 90% appreciated the simplicity of the left-side menu.
The content organization also received high marks, with participants acknowledging the well-structured e-course descriptions, clear learning objectives, and overall coherence with the platform’s methodology. Many participants highlighted the platform's potential as a valuable tool for language and literature education, recommending broader training for teachers to maximize its use in classrooms.
The successful testing in Terracina underscores the platform’s promise as a user-friendly, effective educational resource for teachers and students alike.
