In this study, elements of the social media were converted into interaction design of Diskusi-Belajar. Interaction design is produced on mobile-based platform. In order to ensure usability quality, ten principles of the Nielsen's design are used as a guideline. Five evaluators are involved to measure interaction design and generated three times iterations. Conclusions of the study is, although not all Nielsen's design principles are accommodated, the elements which are generated from previous studies have succesfully implemented in Diskusi-Belajar and produce good usability.
