Abstract
This paper investigated the significance of interface design principles for online learning systems in response to the increased use of online teaching during the pandemic. The purpose of the research was to explore which interface design principles were important for online learning systems. In order to understand the current problem of low user stickiness in online learning systems, this paper used a literature review and interviews to analyze the interface design principles of online learning systems. The results of the literature review showed that the interface design principles included design consistency, user control, helping users to recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors, error prevention, minimalism design principle, user feedback. The results of the interviews showed that the six design principles proposed by the scholars were important, but also pointed out the lack of user control and user feedback in the current learning system. In order to enhance students’ willingness to use the learning system, experts suggested adding functions such as search and feedback robots. This study aimed to have assisted online learning system developers in understanding interface design principles, leading to improved user experience and increased satisfaction with the system.
