Stoesz, University of Manitoba Mehdi Niknam, University of Manitoba Jessica Sutton, University of Manitoba  \nAbstract  \nResearch has demonstrated that students’ learning outcomes and motivation to learn are influenced by the visual design of learning technologies (e.g., learning management systems or LMS) . One aspect of LMS design that has not been thoroughly investigated is visual complexity. In two experiments, postsecondary students rated the visual complexity of images of LMS after exposure durations of 50– 500 ms. Perceptions of complexity were positively correlated across timed conditions and working memory capacity was associated with complexity ratings. Low-level image metrics were also found to predict perceptions ofthe LMS complexity. Results demonstrate the importance of the visual design of learning technologies and suggest that additional research on the impact of LMS visual complexity on learning outcomes is warranted.  \nKeywords: eye tracking, learning management system, user interface design, visual complexity, visual perception  \nRésumé  \nLa recherche a démontré que les résultats d'apprentissage et la motivation des étudiants à apprendre sontinfluencés par la conception visuelle des technologies d'apprentissage (par exemple, les systèmes degestion de l'apprentissage ou SGA). Un aspect de la conception des LMS qui n'a pas été étudié de manière approfondie est la complexité visuelle. Dans deux expériences, des étudiants en enseignementsupérieur ont évalué la complexité visuelle des images des SGA après des durées d'exposition de 50 à  \nCJLT/RCAT Vol. 46 (2)  \n500 ms. Les perceptions de la complexité ont été positivement corrélées à travers les conditions temporelles et la capacité de la mémoire de travail a été associée aux évaluations de la complexité . Des mesures d'images de bas niveau ont également été trouvées comme étant indicateurs des perceptions dela complexité des SGA. Les résultats démontrent l'importance de la conception visuelle des technologies d'apprentissage et suggèrent que des recherches supplémentaires sur l'impact de la complexité visuelle des SGA sur les résultats d'apprentissage sont justifiées.  \nMots clés : suivi oculaire, système de gestion de l'apprentissage, conception de l'interface utilisateur, complexité visuelle, perception visuelle  \nIntroduction  \nPostsecondary institutions in Canada (and around the world) continue to invest in online learning technologies and online course development (Bates et al., 2017) and, in doing so, increase students’access to education and reduce their education-related costs (Coates, James, & Baldwin, 2005) . Test scores, student engagement, and perceptions of learning (Nguyen, 2015) provide evidence that delivering courses online may be as effective as traditional face-to-face delivery of content and learning activities (Ladyshewsky, 2004; Means, Toyama, Murphy, & Baki, 2013; Tallent-Runnels et al., 2006) . These effects, however, may be attenuated by a number offactors (Lim, Ayesh, Stacey, & Chee, 2013), including the poor visual design of learning management systems (LMS), which can disorient learners and overload their cognitive resources (Eveland Jr. & Dunwoody, 2001) . An LMS is a web-based software application that is used to organize and administer content and track and report progress for learning and training purposes (Ellis, 2009; Mabila, Gelderblom, & Ssemugabi, 2014). Describing the appearance of LMS accurately and determining how visual design influences student learning is important for making evidence-informed design modifications. Describing the visual complexity of LMS in efficient, meaningful, and reliable ways is a foundational step in th","cbCaiqDdGamcR910","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqDdGamcR910","pdf",175499,21,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Postsecondary online learning and the role of LMS design\n# Visual Complexity of Learning Technologies\n## Webpage design history and usability effects\n# Defining the Visual Complexity of LMS Using Image Metrics and Subjective Ratings","[{\"question\":\"What was the focus of the study regarding learning management systems (LMS)?\",\"answer\":\"The study focused on visual complexity in LMS design and how it can be measured and predicted using image metrics and subjective ratings.\"},{\"question\":\"How were students’ perceptions of visual complexity measured?\",\"answer\":\"Postsecondary students rated the visual complexity of LMS images after exposure durations of 50–500 ms in two experiments.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors predicted judgments of LMS visual complexity?\",\"answer\":\"Perceptions of complexity were positively correlated across timed conditions, working memory capacity was associated with complexity ratings, and low-level image metrics predicted perceived complexity.\"}]","Defining the Visual Complexity of Learning Management Systems Using Image Metrics and Subjective Ratings | PDF",1792086495,53]
