The Design of a Graphical User Interface for an Electronic Classroom.

Describes the design of a prototype for the graphical user interface component of an electronic classroom (ECR) application that supports real-time lectures and question-and-answer sessions between an instructor and students. Based on requirements analysis and an analysis of competing products, a Web-based ECR prototype was produced. Findings show that good user interface design is critical to the successful use of collaborative learning technology. (AEF)
