4. INTRODUCTION
 Distance education refers to that the teacher and learner are
separated in time or space, but communicated with each other
via electronic means like computer, multimedia and the
internet. It is not only the inevitable results of the
development of society, economy and education itself, but
also the reflection of the society requirement about education
 The development of modern distance education is the strategic
measure to run a great education under the shortage of
educational resources.

5. WHY HCI ?
 Most of the websites are developed just by low-level
duplication.
 It is difficult to communicate and share resources between
different websites or among different components in the same
website.

9. THE CONCEPT OF HCI AND RELATED
THEORIES
 HCI - HCI (human-computer interaction) is the study of how
people interact with computers and to what extent computers
are or are not developed for successful interaction with human
beings
 Cognitive Psychology - Cognitive psychology researches
cognitive process, such as attention, perception, representation
memory, thinking and language etc. Cognitive subject can
simultaneously process multi-information, but its processing
capacity is limited.

10. Colour Identification on Visual Interface
 Colour plays an important role in increasing the accuracy of
information identification and ensuring the effectiveness and
high speed of HCI. and through the research of HCI principles
for colour identification, the information to be transmitted can
be correctly and effectively transmitted to user through better
contrast between colour information of visual body and
background in design

11. Method of SOA
 Service oriented architecture (SOA) is a kind of technology
based on logically abstract business; it changes the business
process models and technical architectures.
 It represents an open, agile, scalable and combinable
architecture
 Method of service oriented architecture provides us the
technical support of HCI design.

12. INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH ON THE USER
 The mainstream methods of user investigation & research
and their specific features are concluded in the following figure

13. Questionnaire on the User of Distance Education
Websites.
 Basic information.
 Knowledge of web and motivation of surf web.
 Surfing and operating habits.
 The specific usage of network function modules.
 Esthetic preferences.

14. Establish User Model

15. HCI DESIGN STRATEGIES BASED ON USER
MODEL OF DISTENCE EDUCATION WEBSITES.
1.Manners of HCI
 The input and output manners between human and computer
are various and of very different, so the manners of HCI are
granted diverse. Which summarize to:
 Image Interaction
 Sound Interaction
 Expression, Gesture and Behaviour Interaction
 Other Single Mode Interaction
 Multi-media Interaction
 Multi-modes Interaction

16. 2. Principles of HCI Design Based on Cognitive
Psychology.
 The following basic rules in cognitive psychology should be
followed in the process of HCI design for distance education
websites:
 Rules of information organization.
 Rules of visual search.
 User memory characteristics.
 The central energy theory of cognizance.
 Efficiency analysis of perception

17. Principles in HCI design
 Base on above mentioned rules and related analysis, we can
conclude the principles in HCI design as follow, which central
idea is “human-oriented”.
 Functional, Direct and Easy to Use
 The Interaction Should Bring Us Emotional Happiness
 Safe and Stable
 Reasonable, Efficient and Consistent

19. Process of HCI Design
 The process of HCI design for distance education websites
could divide to four stages:
 structure and main frame design
 interaction manner design
 interface design
 later
 support and additional design

20. CONCLUSION
 It can be seen that teachers and learners who surf distance
education network need much more communication with each
other. So the research on human-computer interaction design
takes much more importance.
 The ultimate goal is to reach the harmonious interacting
relationship between human, computer and environment
