这项跨学科的研究以人类电子学习互动（HEI）为重点，整合了教学传播和教学技术的概念，并将其应用于电子学习系统，重点关注学术利益相关者的角色和能力。本研究的目的是提出并设计一个使用网络编程语言的电子学习用户界面（ELUI），以支持在线学习环境中的教学交流。建议的接口，考虑到学生和教师的角度来看，确定了几个新的功能，有助于在学术组织的互动式电子学习系统的成功。从加拿大一所大学中选取了102名学生和10名教师作为样本，要求他们浏览本研究提出的ELUI并提供反馈。使用混合方法的方法，本研究采用了定量和定性的分析方法，以提供一个更强大的理解学生和教师的看法的ELUI。学生对使用界面的态度进行了分析，使用技术接受模型，而教师的看法进行了分析，通过半结构化访谈的内容分析。回归分析结果表明，ELUI的易用性和有用性可以预测学生对未来使用ELUI的态度。访谈结果显示，教师认为电子学习系统是有效的，特别是有足够的培训和支持，但无法评论电子学习系统的成本效益。总体结果表明，学术决策者应采用教学通信功能的电子学习系统。
Focusing on Human E-learning Interaction (HEI), this interdisciplinary research integrates concepts from instructional communication and instructional technology and applies them to e-learning systems, focusing on academic stakeholders' roles and competencies. The purpose of this research is to propose and design an E-learning User Interface (ELUI) using web programming languages to support instructional communication in an online learning environment. The proposed interface, considering both students' and teachers' perspectives, identifies several new features that contribute to success in interactive e-learning systems in academic organizations. A sample of 102 students and 10 teachers selected from a university in Canada were asked to browse the ELUI proposed in this study and provide feedback. Using a mixed methods approach, this study employed both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis to provide a more robust understanding of student and teacher perceptions of the ELUI. Students' attitudes toward use of the interface were analyzed using the Technology Acceptance Model, while teachers' perceptions were analyzed through content analysis of semi-structured interviews. The results of regression analysis showed that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of ELUI are predictive of student attitude toward future use of the ELUI. The results of the interviews revealed that teachers believe the ELUI would be efficient, particularly with adequate training and support, though were unable to comment on the cost effectiveness of e-learning systems. The overall results suggest that academic decision-makers should adopt instructional communication features in e-learning systems.
