Usability Analysis of Augmented Reality-Based Flipbooks as Learning Media for Elementary School Students

Digital transformation in education has driven the adoption of technologies to enhance student engagement and understanding. Augmented Reality (AR) is one such rapidly growing technology, offering immersive and visual learning experiences through 3D objects. When combined with digital flipbooks, AR creates flexiblity, particularly suitable for elementary students. AR flipbooks are seen as promising tools, blending interactive visuals with the familiar digital book. However, their effectiveness must be evaluated from the user’s perspective, especially students as end-users. This study aims to assess the usability of AR flipbooks using the USE instrument (Usefulness, Ease of Use, Ease of Learning, Satisfaction). A descriptive quantitative method was applied to 13 students from SDN 10 Tanjungpinang Kota. The results revealed that usefulness and ease of learning significantly influenced student satisfaction. These findings suggest that the more beneficial and easy-to-understand the media is perceived by students, the higher their satisfaction in using AR flipbook learning tools

An estimate of the value of lost load for Ireland

This paper estimates the value of short term lost load in the all island electricity market, which includes the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The value of lost load (VoLL) is the average willingness of electricity consumers to pay to avoid an additional period without power. VoLL is also known as the value of security of electricity supply and is inferred using a production function approach. Detailed electricity use data for the Republic of Ireland allows us to estimate the value of lost load by time of day, time of week and type of user. We find that the value of lost load is highest in the residential sector in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Our results can be used to advise policy decisions in the case of supply outages and to encourage optimum supply security. In the context of this study short term is taken to be a matter of hours rather than days or weeks
