Learner-centeredIn order to create a usable website or e-learning course, it's necessary to keep the end-user involved in the design process.
The same principle holds true in classroom education and in the field. If the materials in the course are relevant to us, they will engage our natural curiosity. |

Easy to useCommunication is extremely important in every part of our lives. Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings and conflict.
Online interactions should be designed to eliminate any misunderstandings that may occur and to provide a warm, inviting environment for every learner. |

InteractiveStudies have shown that when learners act upon their knowledge, it is retained in memory for a much longer time. This is why interactivity is crucial in curriculum development.
With constant feedback through human-computer interactions, our learners are holistically involved in the achievement of their own success. |
