HUMAN COMPUTERS2
Introduction
This project has been undertaken to propose a specific learning
management system for the university HOLMES institute, as a reason of
the fact that many of the universities operating within the varied regions
of Australia have been predominantly using the Learning Management
System (Mtebe, 2015). Hence, for this university, the LMS commonly
named as Blackboard has been proposed.
LMS Blackboard refers to a learning environment having a virtual
existence as well as refers to a learning management system that has
been developed and placed forward by the Blackboard Incorporation. The
website that has been proposed for the HOLMES Institute shall be
designed in such a way that shall have the potential to be utilized by
every single person belonging to the university (Anshari
et al., 2016). The
potential users to this blackboard website that have been identified to be
benefitted from the specific development of the website are namely the
students, the professors as well as the lecturers, the librarian, the
administration department and lastly, the newer students contain the
thought of taking admission within the university.
User Analysis
The Blackboard user interface is a Web-based platform that has
been built specifically for the ease of the lecturers as well as the students
in particular. The design of the interface has been built in such a way that
the users visiting the website will have an efficient navigation through the
current webpage. The home page shall have all the important information
that is very much needed for the users visiting the website to get the
knowledge about.
For the people having a trouble using the internet, will have a
specific provision of easy understanding of what is present within the
website. Usage of simple languages as well as vibrant colors shall have a

better experience for the users. Special tools such as the like of heat
mapping has been used, which puts forward the most visited part of the
website. This has provided the developer with the development of such
particular areas to be more visibly recognizable to the users (Karplus,
2017). A special tab carrying the hyperlinks to all the other pages
containing important information has also been provided so that the users
find it easy to get hold of the required information that they have been
looking for.
In addition to this, the website has the special provision of the
related information getting translated to any language as preferred by the
user for a reason that the website shall be visited by students from all
over the world communicating in different languages to be specific. On
the other hand, the website has also been built keeping in mind the users
belonging to a higher age (Walker
et al., 2016). For such elderly people, a
minimalistic view has been provided to the user having used designs and
colors, which shall not provide any harm or strain to the eyes of the
people belonging to such particular age group.
Identification of potential users
The potential users who will be visiting the LMS blackboard and
utilizing it for the services that shall be offered by it along with how the
users shall be utilizing the platform have been mentioned below (Wang,
2017). These are,
 Students already studying – the students who have already got their
admission into the HOLMES Institute shall be the prime visitors to
the website. All of the students undergoing the graduation courses
shall be visiting the website in order to gather all the information
related to their courses (Ruano
et al., 2016). All of these information
shall include the likes of the curriculum, the daily assessments, the
monthly assessments, the weekly performance results, monthly
evaluation results, semester results, semester exam routines,
project submissions, assessment submissions, syllabus of the course
and lecture notes. In addition to this, the students might also visit
