Abstract

Abstract This paper advances a framework for architecting usability properties in the e-learning instructional design process. To understand the framework for architecting usability properties into the e-learning instructional design process, the following have been defined: instructional design process, e-learning instructional design process, usability attributes, and usability properties. The implementation of the framework will provide the e-learning instruction with all the usability properties that positively influence the learning process.
