“…Interface element is a key factor in bridging the gap between users and the system [21]. Cultural adaptation in interface design is important where interface elements carry a different meaning for different cultures [10] [21]. There are many interface elements, and it is impossible to put all of them in the e-learning interface.…”

“…Animation [52], [45], [41], [43], [ Layout involves the process of placing and arranging interface elements such as graphics, links colours and information architecture on the interface [10][17] [25]. The layout of visual objects on the screenplays a role in user's perception towards e-learning interface design and important for gaining trust from users when using e-learning [16].…”

“…Besides, the rate of drop out courses in e-learning is higher than classroom learning despite the growing popularity of e-learning [8] [12] [13]. One of the reasons for low student involvement towards e-learning is due to poor e-learning interface design [10] [8] [14] [15]. For example, users are not familiar with the design features would have a tendency to disconnect with learning experience because interface designers had failed to develop engaging e-learning environment [16].…”

E-learning is the latest evolution of electronicbased learning that creates, fosters, delivers and facilitates the learning process anytime and anywhere with the use of interactive network technology. The use of e-learning as a learning platform makes users want a high quality of interface design to interact with the e-learning system. Interface design that meets students' needs and expectations may increase their involvement and satisfaction towards e-learning, especially generation Z students. However, interface design is always being criticized and has become a part of issues that cause the failure of e-learning. Lack of understanding about students' cultural background and preferences towards e-learning interface design are the major factors that contribute to this phenomenon. To ensure the success of e-learning, a model of interface design specifically for generation Z students' culture that consists of interface elements and design characteristics need to be developed. So, this study aimed to address this subject by identifying e-learning interface elements and design characteristics from existing literature, confirming the elements and design characteristics and discovering related elements for elearning interface design from generation Z students' perspective. This study used semi-structured for a focus group interview that included seven students. The focus group interview involved three main steps which were sampling, protocol and research instruments. This study validated several interface elements and design characteristics that contribute to the model of e-learning interface design. The findings could guide the interface designer in designing e-learning interface for generation Z students.

“…Other scholars focused on qualitative research. For example, Funieru et al conducted a qualitative comparative study on the two MOOC platforms of edX and Coursera from the perspectives of users and technology, as well as 8 indices based on their own experience [15]. Liu et al discussed the role of culture on the user experience of the MOOC platform from the perspective of localization and interface design [16].…”

While the COIVD-19 has triggered the rapid and large-scale promotion of online courses, it has also exposed the problem of poor user experience on online course platforms. Therefore, this research hopes to propose a complete user experience evaluation system to clarify the deficiencies of the platform and give directions for improvement. This research combines qualitative and quantitative, from the perspective of user experience, integrates data obtained through literature research, interview and network research to determine evaluation indices. The Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process are used to determine the weights of various indices and set the scoring level. It is obtained that the "ease of operation" has the most important impact on the user experience of the online live course platform. Innovatively adopting the t-test method to establish a comparative analysis method for the model application, a standardized process of model application is designed, and a complete evaluation system is constructed. Two pieces of software are selected as experimental samples to verify the model from both statistics and practical applications. The test results show that although the two experimental sample software have significant differences in the scores of multiple second-level indices, the overall scores are still similar, which is consistent with the direct evaluation results. Therefore, the user experience evaluation system proposed in this research is reliable, which can provide a reference for the construction of online live course platform and the optimization of user experience. INDEX TERMS User experience, evaluation index, analytic hierarchy process, online live course platform.

“…Nevertheless, their participation and completion rate in e-learning is still low [10], [11], [12] even though generation Z students monopolize higher education nowadays. Although elearning is popular among the younger generation yet the dropout rate in e-learning is still high [13], [14] compared to conventional learning and is considered more of a supplement to the conventional educational approach [15].…”

The majority of students in higher education institutions are among generation Z. They have always depended on e-learning to support their learning activities. Therefore, higher education institutions should provide an attractive e-learning platform. E-learning interface design should be reviewed frequently to smoothen the interaction between students and the e-learning system. It is because interface design that fulfils generation Z students' preferences and expectations may upsurge their participation in e-learning. However, interface design has continually been condemned and turn out to be part of the problem that contributes to the failure of e-learning. Lack of consideration about generation Z students' preferences towards the interface design of e-learning is the factor that leads to these causes. Therefore, this study focused on identifying design characteristics of colour and graphic elements of e-learning from generation Z students' perception. This research involved a purposive sampling method for questionnaire among students of generation Z. The findings from this study could help elearning developers to design the interface of e-learning that is suitable for generation Z students that will consider color and graphic as important characteristics.
