User experience (UX) is important in e-learning as it is in other domains. While engaging content is important, it is critical to focus on usability and navigation consistency to avoid overwhelming or confusing learners. A good UX incorporates consistent navigation, treats learners as novices to provide guidance, and avoids unnecessary interactivity or tabs that detract from the teaching content. The goal is to impart knowledge to learners through a user-friendly experience rather than just engagement alone.

What’s E-learning got to do with it?

2. Most of us are already acquainted with
the significance of UI and UX in our
daily lives.

3. The physical interaction between human
and machine, commonly known as Human
Machine Interaction is achieved through
User Interface.

4. The overall experience that the learner
attains during that interaction is known
as User Experience.

5. E-learning encompasses engaging learning
activities in form of interactions,
simulations, knowledge checks etc.

6. But if the designer focuses solely on
engaging the learner, the entire user
experience can go for a toss.

7. Now, think about going to a mall to buy a perfume.
The staff is engaging you with all these different
samples and you get so lost in the aroma that you
end up buying nothing. Sounds familiar, isn't it?

No, Try thisUmmm…Try this

8. Your curriculum
design might be
aesthetically
pleasing but if
the learner gets
stuck in it, then
it won't be
called a good
User
Experience.
HELP
ME!!

9. Try and incorporate the following for
a good user experience:

10. Navigation and
Design Consistency
01

11. If the first slide of
the course has
navigation buttons
on the bottom-right;
try and keep them
there for rest of
the course. If the
clickable boxes are
Grey, keep them
consistent
throughout the
course.You got the
drill, Right?

12. Usability
02

13. Always treat your
learner as a novice
and impart them
with proper
guidance even it
seems pretty simple
to you. For Example,
you may know that
the Tabs are
clickable but they
might not.

14. Don’t Over do it
03

15. Don’t get carried
away while
designing highly
interactive courses.
Focus on Teaching
more than
Engaging, don’t put
useless TABS when
the content can be
crisped.

16. Summing it all:
Usability
Navigation
and Design
Consistency
Don’t
Over do
it
UX in
e-learning
