variable?• Connections between the information

learned in the Microworld and student’s current concept of reality

Deana’s Paper

• 2 aspects of e-learning– Usability/accessible– Content

Human Computer Human Computer Interface Design Interface Design

Deana’s Paper

Mayer and Clark’s Principles for designing e-learning:• Multimedia Principle• Contiguity Principle• Modality Principle• Redundancy Principle• Coherence Principle• Personalization Principle


Deana’s Paper

Hicks and Essinger (1991) delineate 3 criteria for human interface design:

• Usability• Functionality• Visual communication & aesthetics

(as cited in Berge and Hedberg, 2002, p.201)


Deana’s Paper

Usability is characterized by the ways people interact with a

system.


Deana’s Paper

Functionality describes the way the system operates within the

boundaries of the technology.


Deana’s Paper

Visual communication and aesthetics present information so that the user can reason about,

easily recall, interact, and communicate with, document,

preserve, and construct knowledge.
