Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 教育科技學系碩士班 === 98 === In recent years, e-learning approach to learning has changed the face of traditional education, and learning management systems(LMS) were used widely to engage in e-learning courses. However, research on the interface of learning management system revealed many usability problem. Teachers and learners were often confused by the interface structure of the system. Therefore, this research aims to design visual interface for learning management system.
This research went through four stages: analysis of LMS user interface design principles, design the prototype of visual LMS interface, development of the visual-based LMS interface and evaluated visual LMS interface. The results revealed that the graphical user interface of LMS was easier to use, these visual interface can reduce the demand for short-term memory. Users operated the LMS system faster when the appropriate metaphors for image-based object were visualized clearly and objects in visual environment helped users understand the functions of interface.
