Abstract

Access to learning platforms must be as low-threshold as possible for all interested parties in order to make learning on eLearning platforms attractive for everyone, even those with few digital skills. The native General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)-compliant registration process of the Moodle learning management system has been optimised for low-threshold access to the Onlinecampus Pflege a mobile learning offering for teaching digital skills for nursing professions. GDPR compliance goes hand in hand with a lot of text and confirmations in the opt-in and double opt-in process. The evaluation of a GDPR-compliant registration form for registering on the learning platform has shown that a progressive form for experienced native German-speaking participants with an average age of 44.5 years is perceived as low-threshold and target group-appropriate for accessing the platform. Data collected using the thinking-aloud method however revealed usability problems for participants who are in their first and second year of training. For these much younger participants, the registration process was designed to be low-threshold using a wizard form with a plain text password option, little immediately visible text and the graphic representation of the double opt-in process.
