iLearn Interface Design Critique

On Information Design

Who are the users? SFSU students and faculties
Information chunk (gestalt principle, amount information) Information is well-organized and chunked in proper size on iLearn web page. For example, class outlines are scheduled on a week base.
Relevance (graphics, content, reading level, text) There're rarely graphics on iLearn page, making it just clean and neat and serious as teaching and learning management website.
Labeling (visual with text) All the labels are dark brown bars with static white label names.
Consistency (visual, text) There's nice consistency in pages in iLearn (mostly because the lay out is easy). Static texts are in either white or black. Links are always in blue.
Detail (too much on one page or one screen): For the new users, it takes time to figure out every session on the page. The class outlines make the page really long and tire the users to scroll........long way.........down. Until later I find on the upper left corner, there's links to each week's class outline. There's another line of same links on the top of the class outline part. It's just not that obvious. And once you scroll down, there's no way you can jump to the top by just clicking links like Go To Top

On Interactivity

Orientation (Can you find the path, and know your way around?) Each potential path is on the home page.
Navigation (Branching) iLearn page is most closely belong to the the type of "Index Navigation". All potential selections are visible on the main page, like weekly outline, links to registered courses, assignments, forums, calendar, etc.
Functionality (Does it work?) Not very functional.. I'm expecting searching box (too much information).
Information access (Multiple entry and exit? Logical path?) Multiple ways to enter each week's class. Most useful information takes great space in the middle of the page. More important and frequently used links are organized on the left of the page. Less frequently used links on the right. It makes sense in that audiences pay first attention to the middle, and then read from left to right, up to down.
 
On Screen Design

Attractive (first impression) What's the point of being attractive as a LMS webpage for university studies? 
Color iLearn page interface is very clean and easy in color-brown, beige and white. I heard from a iLearn user council meeting that students think the color is kind of dull. The staff in Academic Technology department change the bars that centralize the weekly outline into green to light up the interface. I am thinking maybe the dark brown can be changed into purple? (typical SFSU color)
Lay out neat...neat...neat
Readability The font size is kind of small and no options for adjust the size...exhausting after some time of reading
