Abstract

Motivation -- The aim of this research is the development of a web- based e-learning system which is adaptive to user's characteristics (i.e. user's computer skills). Research approach -- The present study proposes a new model based on a UI architecture model (Nagasaki 2000, 2002) which was developed for stand-alone application software. We adopted the UI architecture model to develop our e-learning system. Since the model could not support a web-based system, it was modified to be used on the Web. Findings/Design -- The new model's ability to work on the web was confirmed by the prototype. Take away message -- It is necessary to remove any influences of usability in order for learners to concentrate on their study using the e-learning system.
