Abstract

The results of previous studies on the effectiveness of online learning show inconsistent findings. This is due to the fact that most applications that are developed do not emphasize effective design. So, the best practices have been collected through analysis documents from books and journal articles to help designers and developers of e-learning applications to produce effective applications. There are three main things that need to be emphasized in the design of e-learning applications, namely interface design, content design and interaction design. In interface design, one of the things evaluated is how to produce an interface that can use cognitive load effectively. Whereas, for content design, what is the appropriate learning and teaching theory to be applied so that the learning experience becomes something meaningful. As for interaction design, it is important for the behavior of an application to be predictable, expected, and usable. Good interaction design shows characteristics such as easy to use, efficient, safe, easy to learn and easy to remember how to use it. Although this best practice is still not comprehensive, it can help learning application developers, teachers, instructors, lecturers or trainers to provide online learning materials and design e-learning applications effectively and attractively.
