摘要

在虚拟学习环境(VLEs)中组织和设计信息的方式很差(例如，不清晰、不吸引人、极其密集)。本研究评估并重新设计了一个VLE平台，以增强信息和课程材料的获取。采用以用户为中心的三阶段混合方法研究方法，学生作为教育的共同创造者、研究人员、设计师和最终用户参与其中。结果表明，根据信息设计原则和以用户为中心的研究过程设计的两种布局的性能明显优于现有布局。与会者的意见也反映了这一趋势。本文提供了一组改进vle设计的指导方针。

The power of information design in enhancing the organization of information and course material in an online Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)

The way information is organized and designed on virtual learning environments (VLEs) is poor (e.g., unclear, unattractive and overwhelmingly dense). This study evaluates and redesigns a VLE platform to enhance access to information and course material. A three-stage user-centred mixed-methods research approach was used with students taking part as co-creators of education, researchers, designers and end-users. Results show that performance was significantly better with two layouts designed following information design principles and a user-centred research process, than with the existing layout. Participants’ opinion also reflected this same trend. A set of guidelines to improve the design of VLEs is provided.

期刊介绍： Information Design Journal (IDJ) is a peer reviewed international journal that bridges the gap between research and practice in information design. IDJ is a platform for discussing and improving the design, usability, and overall effectiveness of ‘content put into form’ — of verbal and visual messages shaped to meet the needs of particular audiences. IDJ offers a forum for sharing ideas about the verbal, visual, and typographic design of print and online documents, multimedia presentations, illustrations, signage, interfaces, maps, quantitative displays, websites, and new media. IDJ brings together ways of thinking about creating effective communications for use in contexts such as workplaces, hospitals, airports, banks, schools, or government agencies.
