Evaluation on Acceptance and Usability of Simulation ASE-Learning Tool

This study evaluates the acceptance and usability of Logicly simulation software as an e-learning tool. The study further investigated the relationship between satisfaction and their level of performance in the subject. Participants of the study are BSCS students of Surigao del Sur State University-Tagbina Campus who are enrolled in Digital and Logic Circuits during the first semester of academic year 2016-2017. These students used the simulation software. Data were obtained through a survey questionnaire. Mean of the responses was computed to determine the ease of use, ease of learning, satisfaction, and perceived usefulness levels in using the Logicly Simulation software. T-Test was used to determine the variance in gender of using Logicly simulation software usage where level of significance is set at 0.05. To determine the index of correlation between the relationship of satisfaction in using the simulation software and the performance of students in the subject, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (r) was used. Results of the study revealed that students find the simulation software useful and they are satisfied in using it. Conversely, they find it not easy to use and learn. In addition, there was a significant difference in gender in software usage where males tend to use the software than females. It was found that there is a positive relationship between satisfaction of students in using the simulation software and their performance in the subject.
