A Comparative Analysis of the Usefulness of Moodle and MS Teams Platforms for Higher Education

This paper describes the results of a questionnaire study conducted among accounting students at the Faculty of Management at the University of Gdansk, Poland, in May 2023. The questionnaires were physically distributed in classes and filled out on paper, yielding the response rate at 92.4% and totaling 97 respondents. The aim of the study was to compare students’ perceptions of the usefulness and advantages of two digital educational platforms, namely Moodle and MS Teams. We found that, in the students’ opinion, MS Teams garnered substantially more appreciation than Moodle as a very supportive tool for university-level education. Although both platforms are perceived as more supportive for general-purpose courses than specifically for accounting courses, MS Teams ranked higher in all categories of usefulness and advantages.
