Abstract

Designing e-learning systems is challenging and demands a more rigorous engineering approach, testing and re-testing with real users. Hence, this paper is about employing an engineering approach, getting empirical feedback of users’ perceptions of e-learning systems and analyzing them for design patterns that are usable and useful in ensuring efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction of e-learning systems as perceived by users. Using a case study of a local university’s e-learning platform, Nanyang Technological University’s edveNTUre in Singapore, this paper reports a pilot study linking users’ perceptions to design patterns. The paper concludes with a discussion on utilizing design patterns in helping designers and developers of e-learning systems to shorten and make effective the design process. We believe the work carried out in this preliminary work holds promise in a systematic design process for e-learning systems and interactive systems in general.
