It is widely stated that learning to program is very difficult in the traditional manner. To help novices learn object-oriented programming in Java more easily, we have developed the electronic Java virtual learning environment. In this paper, we discuss the usability of the learning environment and principles how to implement a usable learning environment. Considering the usability testing of the environment from the beginning stage of the development process, should improve the qualitative characteristics of the learning environment thus improving the abilities of users efficiently to use the environment, to be productive and fill satisfaction. We expect this way to make the learning process more efficient. According to the usability testing results we will give recommendations how to design similar usable learning environments.
