E-pembelajaran telah lama diimplementasikan dalam sistem pendidikan di Malaysia untuk meningkatkan kualiti pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Perubahan sistem pendidikan ini membolehkan komunikasi secara aktif dikalangan pelajar dan tenaga pengajar. Namun, keterlibatan dan komitmen pelajar terhadap epembelajaran masih lagi ditahap yang lemah. Pelajar lebih menerima kaedah pengajaran konvensional dan keberatan untuk menggunakan e-pembelajaran. Reka bentuk antara muka memainkan peranan penting dalam menggalakkan keterlibatan dan komitmen pelajar terhadap e-pembelajaran. Reka bentuk antara muka yang lemah merupakan penyebab ketidakselesaan pelajar untuk terus menggunakan epembelajaran. Reka bentuk antara muka e-pembelajaran yang tidak memenuhi kehendak pelajar menyebabkan mereka tidak mengambil bahagian dalam e-pembelajaran walaupun ianya boleh membantu dalam pelajaran mereka. Oleh itu, kertas ulasan ini meneliti isu berkaitan dengan elemen reka bentuk antara muka yang sentiasa berubah mengikut keperluan pengguna. Isu keterlibatan pelajar turut dibincangkan dalam kertas ulasan ini bagi memahami maksud dan situasi keterlibatan pelajar yang berbeza mengikut pelbagai tempat dan keadaan. Dapatan ulasan ini boleh digunakan dalam pembangunan antara muka e-pembelajaran yang boleh meningkatkan keterlibatan dan komitmen pelajar semasa menggunakan e-pembelajaran. Akhir sekali, hasil ulasan ini diharapkan dapat menyumbang kepada peningkatan interaksi antara pengajar dan pelajar serta turut meningkatkan kualiti pengajaran dan pembelajaran.
E-learning has been implemented in the Malaysian educational system to improve the quality of teaching and learning. The changes in the educational system has allowed active communication among students and lecturers. However, student engagement and commitment towards e-learning is still poor. Students are more accepting of conventional teaching method and reluctance to use elearning. Interface design plays an important role to encourage student engagement and commitment towards e-learning. Poor interface design causes discomfort among students to continue in using elearning. E-learning interface design that does not meet the student’s needs may hinder student’s participation toward e-learning although it can help them in their studies. Therefore, this article review the issues related to interface design elements that changes based on the user needs. Student engagement issues are also discussed in this review article to understand the meaning and different student engagement situations which changes based on various places and environments. The findings from this review could be used in the development of e-learning interface design that would increase the student’s engagement while using e-learning. Lastly, the result of this review is hoped to contribute in enhancing interaction between student and lecturer while improving the quality of teaching and learning.
