Abstract:
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.
