Abstract Introduction The Concept of HCI and Other Related

Theories Investigation and Research on the User. Special HCI Design Strategies Conclusion

Introduction In this paper, a user model of distance education

websites is concluded and established as a basis for interaction design

distance education websites are summarized from following three aspects

A . manners of interaction, B . principles of interaction design, and C . process of interaction design

Introduction The final aim of this paper is to achieve a

more harmonious relationship between human, computer and environment

Distance Education refers to that the teacher and learner are separated in time or space, but communicated with each other via electronic means like computer, multimedia and the internet .

Introduction Distance education makes use of great study

environment and communication systems, and provides everyone the opportunity of learning knowledge through lifetime.

The development of modern distance education is the strategic measure to run a great education under the shortage of educational resources.

However, there are still some shortages and problems in the current distance education systems.

Introduction

For example, since most of those websites are developed just by low level duplication, it is difficult to communicate and share resources between different websites or among different components in the same website

distance education website has its special features compared to common websites

A . The Concept of HCI

HCI is the technological science that researches the communication between human and computer through mutual understanding and exchange, achieve to management, service and process information functions for people at the maximum probability .

computer truly become a harmonious assistant in people's life.

A . The Concept of HCI

Nowadays HCI has developed into fourth generation

multi-modes interaction is the main feature of fourth generation HCI

The process of HCI is actually a process of inputting and outputting information .

B. Cognitive Psychology mainly includes cognitive processes such as

1. attention 2. perception 3. representation 4. memory 5. thinking and 6. language , etc .

C. Color Identification on Visual Interface Color plays an important role in increasing

the accuracy of information identification and ensuring the effectiveness and high speed of HCI

Better contrast helps to deliver information effectively .

D. Method of Service Oriented Architecture Service oriented architecture (SOA) is a kind

of technology based on logically abstract business

Method of service oriented architecture provides us the technical support of HCI design.

It changes the business process models and technical architectures.

It represents an open, agile, scalable and combinable architecture .

Investigation and Research on the UserFig1. Mainstream methods of user investigation & research

Basic information.

Knowledge of web and motivation of surf web.

Surfing and operating habits.

The specific usage of network function modules.

Esthetic preferences

Questionnaire on the User of Distance Education Websites

B. Establish User Model

relationship between user (include learner, teacher and system administrator) and appearance layer (pages of courses, bulletin, test, homework …) through software and hardware .

Special HCI Design Strategies

A. Manners of Human Computer Interaction From the point of human view -> sense of feeling includes :

1. vision2. hearing3. touch 4. taste 5. smell and 6. intuition

we decides - what to see, what to hear, what to speak and most importantly, what to do.

A. Manners of Human Computer Interaction From the point of computer view-> HCI involves lots of key technologies like:

1. single or multi-modes information input 2. information merge and rebuild 3. single or multi-modes information output 4. large scale databases 5. knowledge processing 6. user intelligent agent and 7. various apps services

A. Manners of Human Computer Interaction Input manners includes ->

1. image identification 2. voice identification 3. expression 4. gesture 5. behavior identification 6. multimedia input and 7. multi-modes input

A. Manners of Human Computer Interaction Output manners includes ->

1. image,2. sound, 3. action, 4. multimedia output and 5. multi-modes output

B. Principles of HCI Design Based on Cognitive Psychology

1) Functional, Direct and Easy to Use

2) The Interaction Should Bring us Emotional Happiness

3) Safe and Stable

4) Reasonable, Efficient and Consistent

four stages -> (1) structure and main frame design; (2) interaction manner design; (3) interface design; (4) later support and additional design

C. Process of HCI Design

Conclusion At the beginning of a HCI for distance education

websites design process, teachers, learners and system administrator should come together to discuss the main frames of the websites.

Then the course resources, information resources, test resources and other resources should be supplied to constitute the structural contents of the network.
