Abstract
This article presents a case study of ergonomic evaluation of the usability of the Learning Management Systems used at the Instituto Federal de Pernambuco (IFPE), based on the MOODLE platform. In order to identify the usability problems of this system, were performed heuristic usability evaluations with experts and user tests. From the results obtained in the realized evaluations, it was possible to elaborate a list of recommendations based on the Nielsen heuristics to be applied in the interface design of the LMS, aiming to offer a better usability for the users of the system.
