Abstract :
Recently, the number of people who want to study online has gradually increased. In addition, the desire of people is also increasing, which represents their special knowledge and personality with the advent of the new paradigm of UCC (User Created Contents). Most of the educational Web-sites currently offer boring and unified educational contents with no interesting objects. Thus, this thesis aims to solve these problems of existing online educational web-sites by proposing a new method of design for an educational and useful space that everyone can enjoy and that will manifest the disposition of users. This study shows that it is possible to make a pleasant environment and improve educational effects in cyber space by designing various design elements in accordance with individual tastes, and emphasizing beauty and facility through the customized design method. In short, this study proposes the model of an online educational web-site that carries various interfaces and focuses on customized designs.
