INTRODUCTION

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. It is not only the inevitable results of the development of society, economy and education itself, but also the reflection of the society requirement about education

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

WHY HCI ?

Most of the 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.

THE CONCEPT OF HCI AND RELATED THEORIES

HCI - HCI (human-computer interaction) is the study of how people interact with computers and to what extent computers are or are not developed for successful interaction with human beings

Cognitive Psychology - Cognitive psychology researches cognitive process, such as attention, perception, representation memory, thinking and language etc. Cognitive subject can simultaneously process multi-information, but its processing capacity is limited.

Colour Identification on Visual Interface

Colour plays an important role in increasing the accuracy of information identification and ensuring the effectiveness and high speed of HCI. and through the research of HCI principles for colour identification, the information to be transmitted can be correctly and effectively transmitted to user through better contrast between colour information of visual body and background in design

Method of SOA

Service oriented architecture (SOA) is a kind of technology based on logically abstract business; it changes the business process models and technical architectures.

It represents an open, agile, scalable and combinable architecture

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

INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH ON THE USER

The mainstream methods of user investigation & researchand their specific features are concluded in the following figure

Questionnaire on the User of Distance Education Websites.

Basic information.Knowledge of web and motivation of surf web.Surfing and operating habits.The specific usage of network function modules.Esthetic preferences.

Establish User Model

HCI DESIGN STRATEGIES BASED ON USER MODEL OF DISTENCE EDUCATION WEBSITES. 1.Manners of HCI The input and output manners between human and computer

are various and of very different, so the manners of HCI are granted diverse. Which summarize to:

Image InteractionSound InteractionExpression, Gesture and Behaviour InteractionOther Single Mode InteractionMulti-media InteractionMulti-modes Interaction

2. Principles of HCI Design Based on Cognitive Psychology.

The following basic rules in cognitive psychology should be followed in the process of HCI design for distance education websites:

Rules of information organization.Rules of visual search.User memory characteristics.The central energy theory of cognizance.Efficiency analysis of perception

Principles in HCI design

Base on above mentioned rules and related analysis, we can conclude the principles in HCI design as follow, which central idea is “human-oriented”.

Functional, Direct and Easy to UseThe Interaction Should Bring Us Emotional HappinessSafe and StableReasonable, Efficient and Consistent

Process of HCI Design

The process of HCI design for distance education websites could divide to four stages:

structure and main frame designinteraction manner designinterface designlatersupport and additional design

CONCLUSION

It can be seen that teachers and learners who surf distance education network need much more communication with each other. So the research on human-computer interaction design takes much more importance.

The ultimate goal is to reach the harmonious interacting relationship between human, computer and environment
