Interface design refers to the overall look and feel of an e-learning program (Hall, 1997). User interface design is the creation of a seamless integration of content and its organization, together with the navigational and interactive controls that learners use to work with the content (Jones & Farquhar, 1997). The design of an e-learning interface is critical because it determines how learners interact with the presented information (Brown, Milner & Ford, 2001). In an e-learning environment, all e-learning interfaces should be designed to accommodate the tasks of learners while they access information. Lohr (2000) states that learning interfaces are defined as those where communication cues take place between a learner and a learning system.

The aim of this research paper is to study the user interface design of web learning system. This paper also analyzes the opinion of the users to improve the current web learning system. There are many web learning portals are available to the learners with and without pay and learn option. But the user interface design of the web learning system has no specific standards. There are many possibilities to improve the current system. User generated content is a new area to explore and study. The users of the system can give an opinion and also able to modify some design aspects according to their preferences and likes. In this research paper, we have studied two different web learning systems and its design aspects. Cognitive aspects and the flexibility of the design plays a very important role in learning. Cloud sharing and downloading time play a very vital role in learners’ preferences. Many free course learners withdraw learning modules due to the pure connectivity from the cloud learning environment. Web design principles, color principles, basic design principles and user interface design considerations should be studied and applied to create a well-constructed user-friendly environment.User generated and user participated design plays a very important role in the effectiveness of learning.

Abstract The paper describes various types of assessment tasks that are used in e-learning environments and studies the use of HTML5 in the development of user interface elements for e-learning systems. Popular existing practices of HTML5 user interface design are examined, and some examples relevant to e-learning environments are provided.

Many of the systems the Government acquires contain a large amount of software. Some are limited almost exclusively to off-the-shelf computer hardware, and software that is developed by a contractor. But human factors in military systems is regulated by documented standards and procedures that were developed before software gained an important role in military systems, and so do not deal with issues specific to user interface design. The purpose of this panel is to discuss user interface design issues and to propose changes to the acquisition process to improve user interface design for military systems.

This chapter presents the information architecture approach for the design of an administration tool for educators to manage educational oriented recommendations in virtual learning environments. In this way, educators can be supported in the publication stage of the e-learning life cycle after recommendations have been designed with the TORMES methodology. The chapter starts introducing relevant background information on recommender systems for e-learning and the rationale for the educators’ involvement in the recommendation design process. Afterwards, the chapter comments on the information architecture that supports the user interface design process with user-centered design methods, including the goals to achieve in each of the steps defined. The chapter ends by discussing the application of this approach in different contexts.
