With the progress and popularity of smartphones, the promotion of transmission rate and coverage of mobile network, and the development of digitalization environment, people carrying a smartphone has become a normalcy. The trend of digital education began in 2006. Many researchers began to explore the combine digital technology products with learning, learning effectiveness, the way to change the traditional learning, and definition of the appearance of learning, with more emphasis on functional innovation. In daily life, in the process of moving from one point to another, there are much fragmented waiting time about 5 to 10 minutes for usage. This study selects the application program (App) as the research topic, hoping the fragmented time for learning can not only improve the flexibility of learning, but also develop the habit of learning whenever and wherever possible. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mobile learning prototype which is compliance with the user interface process; referring to the first two steps in the development process of mobile learning of Advanced Distributed Learning Instructional System Design (abbreviated as ADL ISD). This study mainly explores the information conveying framework in Earth Sciences field. This study is divided into four stages, wherein the first stage is to discuss design requirements for mobile learning App by questionnaires, to systemize Apps, to collect and classify the Apps related to the knowledge of Earth Sciences in iOS Apple Store. On the whole, it separately summarizes the core concepts of the user interface flow, so as to be as a reference sample of App for analysis, and to develop three operational mobile learning App prototypes accordingly. The second stage is to invite experts to correct the three prototypes of the first stage by using of the ten principles of heuristic evaluation. The third stage is to assist the entity interface rendering by POP2.0 software. After the subject simulates the actual operating and completes the operation, three sets of operational prototypes will be evaluated based on the Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction (QUIS) and System Usability Scale (SUS). The fourth stage is to analyze the ANOVA and Tukey HSD test data. According to the operation interface design, Sample II with the design of graphic interface is easy to operate and easy to arouse the interest of a variety of users. Thus, in order to study and explore the geological phenomena or its formation, the operational processes in Sample II is more in line with the public’s study habits, whether they have the geographical science background or not. This conclusion is a reference for the future researches.
