PERANCANGAN USER INTERFACE DAN USER EXPERIENCE E-LEARNING "LEARNGO" UNTUK SEKOLAH DASAR

Kebutuhan akan informasi yang cepat dan tepat sangat dibutuhkan oleh lembaga pendidikan. Di era digitalisasi yang berorientasi pada teknologi, masih banyak Sekolah Dasar dengan proses belajar mengajar yang masih bersifat konvensional dan dirasa kurang efektif menjalankan sistem hybrid learning karena kurangnya fasilitas yang mendukung. Menurut survei oleh UNICEF pada 2020, 38% siswa mengatakan kurang bimbingan dari guru menjadi sebuah kendala umum dalam proses pembelajaran yang dilaksanakan secara online. Pembelajaran hybrid learning yang dilakukan oleh Sekolah Dasar Negeri Cijagra 2 hanya sebatas menggunakan platform Whatsapp. Dalam pelaksanaannya, platform ini dirasa masih kurang optimal dalam proses belajar mengajar, karena kurangnya interaksi langsung murid dengan guru, serta keterbatasan dalam menyediakan materi yang kompleks. Oleh karena itu, dalam penelitian ini didapatkan sebuah solusi akan masalah yang ada berupa sebuah perancangan User Interface e-learning yang dapat membantu mempermudah pemahaman siswa dan memfasilitasi penyediaan materi oleh guru di Sekolah Dasar Negeri Cijagra 2. Dalam membuat sebuah platform E-Learning diperlukan sebuah perancangan yang tepat agar sesuai dengan fungsinya. Salah satu faktor penting yang bisa mempengaruhi perancangan E-Learning adalah User Interface. Penelitian dan perancangan media “LearnGo”, UI/UX e-learning Learning Management System, menggunakan metode Design Thinking yang terdiri dari emphaty, define, ideate, prototype, dan testing. Berdasarkan sistem pengujian yang dilakukan dengan usability testing dan teknik System Usability Scale, perancangan media “LearnGo” yang dilakukan di Sekolah Dasar Negeri Cijagra 2 memiliki hasil yang baik dan layak diguanakan. ----- The need for fast and precise information is needed by educational institutions. In the era of technology-oriented digitalization, there are still many elementary schools with teaching and learning processes that are still conventional and are felt to be less effective in running the hybrid learning system due to a lack of supporting facilities. According to a survey by UNICEF in 2020, 38% of students said a lack of guidance from teachers was a common obstacle in the online learning process. Hybrid learning conducted by SD Negeri 2 Cijagra is only limited to using the Whatsapp platform. In practice, this platform is still not optimal in the teaching and learning process, due to the lack of direct interaction between students and teachers, as well as limitations in providing complex material. Therefore, this research found a solution to the existing problem in the form of an e-learning User Interface design that can help facilitate students' understanding and facilitate the provision of material by teachers at SD Negeri 2 Cijagra. In making an E-Learning platform, an appropriate design is needed to suit its function. One important factor that can influence the design of E-Learning is the User Interface. Research and design of the "LearnGo" media, UI/UX e-learning Learning Management System, uses the Design Thinking method which consists of empathy, define, ideate, prototype, and testing. Based on the testing system that was carried out using usability testing and the System Usability Scale technique, the design of the "LearnGo" media carried out at Cijagra 2 Public Elementary School had good results and was feasible to use

A web-based platform for people with memory problems and their caregivers (CAREGIVERSPRO-MMD): Mixed-methods evaluation of usability

Background: The increasing number of people with dementia (PwD) drives research exploring Web-based support interventions to provide effective care for larger populations. In this concept, a Web-based platform (CAREGIVERSPRO-MMD, 620911) was designed to (1) improve the quality of life for PwD, (2) reduce caregiver burden, (3) reduce the financial costs for care, and (4) reduce administration time for health and social care professionals. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the usability and usefulness of CAREGIVERSPRO-MMD platform for PwD or mild cognitive impairment (MCI), informal caregivers, and health and social care professionals with respect to a wider strategy followed by the project to enhance the user-centered approach. A secondary aim of the study was to collect recommendations to improve the platform before the future pilot study. Methods: A mixed methods design was employed for recruiting PwD or MCI (N=24), informal caregivers (N=24), and professionals (N=10). Participants were asked to rate their satisfaction, the perceived usefulness, and ease of use of each function of the platform. Qualitative questions about the improvement of the platform were asked when participants provided low scores for a function. Testing occurred at baseline and 1 week after participants used the platform. The dropout rate from baseline to the follow-up was approximately 10% (6/58). Results: After 1 week of platform use, the system was useful for 90% (20.75/23) of the caregivers and for 89% (5.36/6) of the professionals. When users responded to more than 1 question per platform function, the mean of satisfied users per function was calculated. These user groups also provided positive evaluations for the ease of use (caregivers: 82%, 18.75/23; professionals: 97%, 5.82/6) and their satisfaction with the platform (caregivers: 79%, 18.08/23; professionals: 73%, 4.36/6). Ratings from PwD were lower than the other groups for usefulness (57%, 13/23), ease of use (41%, 9.4/23), and overall satisfaction (47%, 11/23) with the platform (

The ABCD of usability testing

We introduce a methodology for tracking and auditing feedback, errors and suggestions for software packages. This short paper describes how we innovate on the evaluation mechanism, introducing an (Antecedent, Barrier, Consequence and Development) ABCD form, embedded within an eParticipation platform to enable end users to easily report on any usability issues. This methodology will be utilised to improve the STEP cloud eParticipation platform (part of the current STEP Horizon2020 project http://step4youth.eu. The platform is currently being piloted in real life contexts, with the participation of public authorities that are integrating the eParticipation platform into their regular decision-making practices. The project is involving young people, through engagement and motivation strategies and giving them a voice in Environmental decision making at the local level. The pilot evaluation aims to demonstrate how open engagement needs to be embedded within public sector processes and the usability methodology reported here will help to identify the key barriers for wide scale deployment of the platform
