Abstract

In context of the Metasystems Learning Design Theory there are eight didactical systems. Each of these systems includes some elements of the teacher-centered and/or learner-centered learning environments. In plus, for the effective learning outcomes should be taking into account the specific features of that didactical system that may solve the previous identified issue. Thus, the specific features of the teacher-centered environments are: visibility, accessibility, language, readability, learnability, usability and legibility. Instead of this, the learner-centered are focused on developing knowledge, competence or/and self-regulated skills. The goal of this chapter is to describe the specific features of user interface design for the teacher-centered versus learner-centered learning environments.

Content precedes design.

Design in the absence of content is not design, it’s decoration.
