Evaluation of user Interface Design for Leaning Management System (LMS): Investigating Student's Eye Tracking Pattern and Experiences

E-learning is an innovation technology with the aim to provide a strategy to improve the quality of teaching and learning. The establishment of LMS is to improve the teaching and learning environments and to have better learning delivering through electronic device. The interface design of LMS plays an important role to deliver the learning process to both learners and educators. The usability of LMS is an important criterion for providing an effective and easy learning environment. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate user interface design of LMS by analyzing student's eye tracking pattern though the gaze plot and heat map. The interface of LMS was divided into three area; top, left and content. Student's area of interest was identified using the eye tracing pattern. Students eye movement was studied using Tobii Series Eye Tracker Model T60/T12 and ManGold software suite to capture their eye tracking pattern when using the LMS to complete their task. The analysis from the student's eye tracking pattern indicated some interface design issues in LMS. Based on this finding, we discuss the user interface design guidelines applied in LMS and suggested some improvement for identified design issues.
