Short description

We all have searched for options in ILIAS that are around here somewhere... I could swear it was in this Tab here... ah, no, it's this Tab and then this Sub-Tab... Now, back to the Tab where I started to see the result. Okay, not all screens are that bad, but in some the amount of options therein can be overwhelming - especially to beginners.

Fortunately, we can turn to design and UX best practices developed by seasoned designers, as well as the findings of studies and user testing. In this presentation (based on a paper created in collaboration with Concepts and Training GmbH, University of Bern and University Hohenheim), we explore how to improve usability and bring calm into the chaotic world of Tabs and Sub-Tabs.

The guidelines, findings and ideas around User Intent, Implementation vs. Mental Model, and Semantic Grouping presented here can help you to create better UI in your part of ILIAS.
