Abstract

Current trend of facilitating education for masses through MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) does not much respects different individual specifics influencing success rate of users during the learning process. This paper focuses on issues of MOOC user interfaces from the viewpoint of users’ individual needs. It deals with the question of motivation of users depending on an interface, with the question of persuasive design and its potentials in a given context. The paper analyzes effects influencing the user along the learning process, the aim being to specify evaluation criteria for adaptable interface formulation. EdX, Coursera and user interfaces of e-learning courses of the largest Czech universities serve as examples.
