Directions for Future Research in On-line Distance Education - Alaa Sadik, Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education
....Therefore, more research is needed to compare and investigate how different approaches for the design and development of user-friendly interfaces, interactive, easy to use and accessible learning tutorials, quality course content and learning based on sound theories can affect students’ learning and satisfaction with the program and reduce the on-line time spent in study. For example, there is a need to study how tutorial layout, navigation aids, and interactive multimedia components can be designed and organised in a navigation hierarchy of hyperlinks (e.g., sequencing design, exploration design, indexed design, etc.) to facilitate the following and control of course information. In addition, research is needed to investigate the relationship between the use of interactive functions and actual learning and the connection between learner’s perceptions and usage of interactive functions and their overall satisfaction with on-line learning systems (Chou, 2003)
