User interface is a part of computer and its software that people (user) see, hear, touch or talk to. It is a setof all things that allow you and your computer to communicate with each other. Agood interface design is crucial to make a software/application/system a success. In this project the author concentrate on development of user interface design for higher educational usage, specifically UTP e-iearning system interface. This project being develop to overcome several problems face by user such as making lots of frequent errors due to misunderstanding or confusion, not using or realize some of feature or functions, and inappropriate user interface or interaction. The objectives of the project are to develop a good interface design for e-learning system for intuitive usage, create a didactic environment and also to design interface that require minimal page-through to completetask(s). The methodology of the project requires several steps which are planning where preliminary investigation on the project area and project scheduling are performed, analysing where analysis being perform to understand the existing system interface function, data collection; to gather information on user preference and interface development, designing and testing that involve user acceptance testing. The result and discussion will be analysing of the previous questionnaire that had been distributed to the user in order to get the user requirements and expectation towards the new interface developed. Beside there the author also perform analysis in the design area where the author stated a few assumptions made thatwill contribute top thedevelopment of the new interfaces.
