Resumo:This work focuses on the advantages of the application of User Experience Design concepts in the creation of e-learning courses showing how Instructional Designers can benefit from its application to improve the learning experience by following some of the rules and conventions for good website design. It starts by covering the definition of the term User Experience Design providing background information about the authors who have popularised the term, explaining its association with Usability, going through the advantages of applying it to e-learning courses, and ending with a practical application of the concepts. The practical component of the work lays on the assessment of a course to identify the elements that can be improved following the User Experience Design concepts found in the literature review and the application of those same concepts to a makeover of the original course that then allows the comparison of the two versions. Several elements in the original version were identified as needing improvement: blank space, lack of visual elements, navigation, clickable items, placement of the logo, responsiveness to different screens, and aesthetics. The course makeover was built using the authoring software Articulate Storyline that allowed the development of a version that promotes a better experience to the learner by reallocating some items, enhancing fonts and buttons, making it adjustable to different screen types, and modernising its layout. This work tries to prove that Instructional Designers can certainly benefit from applying User Experience Design concepts to help them identify some issues that otherwise could not be easily detected by simply following Instructional Design models.
