Application of Design Thinking in the Creation of UI/UX on E-learning Websites

Abstract

The emergence of the e-learning culture has taken the world by storm, and its trend has only increased with the COVID-19 pandemic. Being confined at home, students and educators are forced to transition to online learning no matter their familiarity or skill level with technology. One such issue is when a website is not designed effectively, making it needlessly complicated. On the other hand, taking away the complexity of a site may cause it to lack the information presented. To overcome this, an e-learning website should be designed using a design thinking approach that centers around creative problem solving to better innovate a solution. This paper aims to delve deeper into how the design thinking approach may improve an e-learning website's design. The results of the research that we have done show that the application of design thinking in our e-learning has the highest score in the navigation aspect and is also user-friendly, with a score of 8.1 (out of 10). While the lowest score is in the use of color with a score of 6.9 (out of 10), from these results, we need to improve in aspect use of color. This proves that the application of design thinking in e-learning is necessary to facilitate and assist users in using the application
