Περίληψη
Designing a Learning Management System (LMS) is a combination of pedagogical design,
usability and information architecture. E-Learning systems should have intuitive interfaces and clear
information design, allowing learners to concentrate on learning and course developers on learning strategies,
thus making e-learning more efficient. Hence, effective LMSs should include sophisticated and advanced
functions, yet their interface should hide their complexity. In this paper we present the key features of an
experimental LMS which follows recent usability techniques in order to accomplish simplicity. The usage of
computer file management as a metaphor for management and navigation between Learning Objects (LOs)
along with a clear and unambiguous user interface allow users to focus on their learning activities without
excessive hassle.
