10-Criteria for E-Learning Interface Design: Theoretical Study

Recently the number of learning management systems (LMS) in educational institutions and companies is growing up; researches for evaluating the functionalities of these systems have published a lot. This paper addresses the problem of creating e-learning interface designs that are both effective and usable. It focuses on this challenge by proposing 10-criteria for e-learning interface design (10-CELID). 10-CELID provides a guide for e-learning interface designers to design effective and usable interfaces. 10CELID are Visual design, Content Quality, Accessibility, Ease of use, Efficiency, Functionality, Understandability, Navigation, Motivation and Satisfaction.
