Improving the Affordance of E-Learning User Interfaces Using Affordance-Based Design Methodology

초록

Given that a user interface interacts with users, a critical factor to be considered in improving the usability of an e-learning user interface is to design a more user-friendly user interfaces. Most studies on affordance limit themselves to an examination of the affordance attributes of e-learning tools rather than the systematic design of such attributes. Using Maier and Fadel`s affordance-based design methodology as a framework, the researchers in this study identified affordance factors, suggested affordance design strategies for the user interface, and developed a user interface prototype. In addition, the effects of affordance design strategies on usability were evaluated.
