本研究的研究目的在於設計與發展一個以圖像所組成的學習平台介面，並從使用者操作該介面雛形之回饋訊息，探討視覺化圖像式介面在學習平台介面設計發展上的原則。 近年來數位學習的學習方式改變了傳統學習的面貌，學習管理平台成為傳遞數位學習資訊的主要媒介，且從許多研究中發現，以文字形式為主的學習平台介面在使用操作上產生許多問題，因此本研究運用圖像化物件在視覺上的原則進行學習平台介面之設計。 本研究透過分析、設計、發展和評鑑四個部分進行：分析學習平台使用者介面設計原理原則、設計視覺化學習平台介面、發展視覺化學習平台介面、評鑑視覺化學習平台介面。研究結果發現：圖形物件所組成之學習平台介面在視覺上較容易使用、圖形介面可以降低使用者的短期記憶需求、圖像化物件和虛擬空間畫面清楚有助學習者操作學習平台。圖像化物件設計使用適當的隱喻有助於學習者認識學習平台所具備的功能。 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.
