Abstract:
Learning is one most crucial environment we make in each society to build up every entity exist in society. As of today everything has intermingled with technology and communication, for education e-learning is the case, and as we more motivated to eliminate face to face communication the technologies in the learning environments we must fulfill all required interaction between learners and e-learning systems. Learning Management Systems and Learning Content Management Systems both are using as such systems in this field. These systems are not completely fluent, flexible and interactive according to HCI principles in perspective of system’s user.
This paper aims to make LMS and LCMSs more fluent and flexible in terms of interactivity based on HCI proved principle, specifically in two categories of GUI and Layout design with consideration of required interactivity in learning systems and related aspect of it as instructor and student who work with them.
This study was dealt with as a qualitative research and designed as a case study. Data analyzed from on the basis of descriptive analyses. The findings in the study are offered correspondingly with the accompanying research questions. According to the findings, discussions and suggestions are provided at the end of the study.
