Abstract:
The word E-learning in many developing and developed countries is
inseparable from the field of education and more common in nature. The
usefulness of Learning Management Systems in e-learning lies not only in
performing the academic task itself but also in sharing of knowledge
between users, which includes academics and students. The current trend
in developing Learning Management Systems is largely empirical, and
academically sound learning experiences are still absent. At the first
glance faster, more flexible, more natural, easier and more convenient
means for users and Learning Management Systems to interchange
information are required. In user‘s perspective, the use of Learning
Management System is constrained by the human‘s perceptual and
cognitive abilities. On the other hand, in computer side, it constrained
only by devices used in the system and the limitations in software design.
The best way to overcome both types of constraints therefore now totally
lies in designing the user interface rather than the internal system design.
In this research appropriate strategies for developing interfaces to
Learning Management Systems at a national level were considered. The
issues in designing interfaces for Learning Management System for
academics are little different from the design standard of interfaces taken
from the literature of Human Computer Interaction standards. These
differences were considered with the help of a survey done in an
academic organization and are described, explained, and clarified. Finally
we came up with some modification of standards with the help of existing
standards in Human Computer Interaction and with the research output.
This type of Human Computer Interaction standards for Learning
Management System can satisfy the desires of its intended academic users
and deliver a suitable opening for advance research and development.
