EFFECTIVE DESIGN OF E-LEARNING PLATFORMS
Abstract
This article focuses on the principles and strategies for the effective design of e-learning platforms. It explores user-centered design, intuitive navigation, content accessibility, interactivity, and adaptive learning features as key components of successful online education environments. The study emphasizes the importance of aligning platform design with pedagogical goals to enhance learner engagement and knowledge retention. Best practices and case studies are presented to illustrate how thoughtful design improves the overall e-learning experience.
