The user interface (UI) is a key component of an interactive software application; therefore, it is important to provide software developers with basic UI design skills. However, teaching UI design is challenging, even at a basic level, and there is little teaching support. In this article, we investigate the benefits of the feedback-enriched simulation environment (FENIkS) for learning fundamental UI design principles toward designing the functional aspects of a UI. FENIkS is a model-driven educational environment making use of simulation as learning support by generating a UI and the underlying application starting from conceptual domain and presentation models. The generated application and UI contain feedback elements for the learners. This feedback shows if the generated prototype is compliant with certain key design principles and why the principles are considered to be well applied or not. We conducted an experiment using bachelor-level courses to observe the effects of FENIkS on the learning of UI design principles by novice UI designers. The effectiveness of FENIkS was measured by comparing the results of students on a test performed without and with the use of FENIkS, using statistical methods. The findings show an improvement in student's learning of UI design principles when using the FENIkS approach.

通过带反馈的模拟学习UI功能设计原​​理

用户界面(UI)是交互式软件应用程序的关键组件。因此,为软件开发人员提供基本的UI设计技能非常重要。但是,即使在基本水平上,UI设计的教学也极具挑战性,并且几乎没有教学支持。在本文中,我们研究了丰富的反馈仿真环境(FENIkS)对于学习UI基本设计原则以设计UI的功能方面的好处。FENIkS是一个模型驱动的教育环境,通过从概念域和表示模型开始生成UI和基础应用程序,将模拟作为学习支持。生成的应用程序和UI包含学习者的反馈元素。该反馈显示生成的原型是否符合某些关键设计原则,以及为什么认为该原则得到了很好的应用。我们使用学士学位课程进行了一项实验,以观察FENIkS对新手UI设计师学习UI设计原理的影响。FENIkS的有效性通过使用统计方法比较学生在不使用FENIkS和使用FENIkS的情况下进行的测试的结果来衡量。研究结果表明,在使用FENIkS方法时,学生对UI设计原理的学习有所改善。FENIkS的有效性通过使用统计方法比较学生在不使用FENIkS和使用FENIkS的情况下进行的测试的结果来衡量。研究结果表明,在使用FENIkS方法时,学生对UI设计原理的学习有所改善。FENIkS的有效性通过使用统计方法比较学生在不使用FENIkS和使用FENIkS的情况下进行的测试的结果来衡量。研究结果表明,在使用FENIkS方法时,学生对UI设计原理的学习有所改善。
