Online learning has become an essential component of modern education; however, conventional online learning platforms often rely on two-dimensional interfaces that limit user engagement, interaction, and immersion. These limitations reduce learning motivation and hinder the creation of an effective learning experience, particularly for activities that require active participation. To address these challenges, this research focuses on the design of User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) for online learning implemented in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment. The objective of this study is to develop a user-centered VR-based online learning interface that enhances interaction, usability, and learning comfort. This research applies the Design Thinking methodology, which consists of five stages: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. User needs and usability issues were identified through observations and interviews, followed by interface design and prototype development of a VR learning environment featuring chat rooms, whiteboards, slide presentations, and virtual representations of teachers and students. Usability evaluation was conducted using the Maze platform to measure user success rates in completing predefined tasks. The results show that 80% of users completed tasks through the expected interaction paths, exceeding the minimum usability threshold of 70%, while 20% of users failed to complete the tasks, indicating areas for improvement. These findings demonstrate that the proposed UI/UX design effectively supports user interaction and usability in a VR-based learning environment. In conclusion, this study confirms that integrating Design Thinking into the UI/UX design process contributes to the development of effective and user-centered VR-based online learning systems, while also highlighting the importance of usability evaluation for refining immersive educational interfaces.

In the animation industry, the effectiveness of user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design in image processing software is crucial for enhancing user comfort and productivity. This study aims to evaluate the UI/UX design in software belonging to the Adobe family, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects. The employed methodology is Design Thinking, which includes the steps of Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test, to analyze each aspect of UI/UX design. Data were gathered through surveys and interviews with industry professionals to understand their experiences and perspectives. Preliminary results indicate that while Adobe applications are generally satisfactory, some software like After Effects and Illustrator require specific adjustments to the workspace menu to better meet user needs. These findings highlight areas needing improvement in image processing software to enhance user comfort and work efficiency. This research is expected to contribute to the development of more user-centered software, thereby improving user experience quality in the animation.

Abstract -  Corn plants are one of the plants that are easy to grow and relatively fast to get results but also a plant that is vulnerable to pests and diseases. The symptoms that arise require an expert or agricultural expert to be able to diagnose. Limited time and expert labor is one of the causes of delayed diagnosis, causing a decrease in farmers' yields. This is the basis for making this expert system by adopting knowledge from agricultural experts about the symptoms of corn disease using the Forward Chaining method. To support the research conducted, researchers used the Research and Development (R&D) research method and the design used the Object Oriented Programming (OOP) method using the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Software is built using the PHP programming language, MySQL as a database, and Bootstrap as an interface design with a web-based system.
