Measuring User Experience During a Web-based Survey: A Case of Back-to-Back Online Surveys

The vast availability of the Internet allows surveyors to conduct web-based survey much easier than its offline counterpart. Previous studies have been conducted to measure survey tool usability. This article reports the results of a survey on the experience of students who have just completed a survey on students’ learning engagement. Students were emailed to participate on a survey about students' engagement on the learning process. After they have completed the survey, they were asked to complete another survey, a shorter one, to measure their experience during their first assignment. The second survey employed the user experience questionnaire (UEQ). The UEQ comprises 26 questions to measure six variables. There were 819 respondents who completed the first survey that 450 of them were voluntarily completed the second one. Data were analysed using UEQ data analysis. The result showed that out of 26 items, eight of them were evaluated positively and the rest were evaluated neutrally. Amongst those that were evaluated positively include friendly, good design, supportive, secure, organized, understandable, clear, and valuable

Isolated Sign Language Characters Recognition

 People with normal senses use spoken language to communicate with others. This method cannot be used by those with hearing and speech impaired. These two groups of people will have difficulty when they try to communicate to each other using their own language. Sign language is not easy to learn, as there are various sign languages, and not many tutors are available. This study focuses on the character recognition based on manual alphabet. In general, the characters are divided into letters and numbers. Letters were divided into several groups according to their gestures. Characters recognition was done by comparing the photograph of a character with a gesture dictionary that has been previously developed. The gesture dictionary was created using the normalized Euclidian distance. Character recognition was performed by using the nearest neighbor method and sum of absolute error. Overall, the level of accuracy of the proposed method was 96.36%

Cost and Benefit of Information Search using Two Different Strategies

Searching for information is one major Internet activities during which information seekers may gain benefit as well as incurred some cost. In general, information seekers seldom employ any search strategy for general browsing to explore information space. On the other hand, in certain situation, they may employ certain search strategy, especially those who engage in a fact-finding activity. The objective of this research is to shed light on how search strategy can be used to gain the maximum benefit of information search activities. It borrows the two-factor theory to group Web design elements into benefit and cost manifested as motivating and hygiene factors. This research employed a laboratory experiment with 235 respondents who were participated on this research voluntarily. Respondents were divided into two groups, namely ‘plan-group’ and ‘unplan-group’. Both groups were given certain tasks related to information search. The experiment was followed by a post experiment survey. The result shows that respondents who were in the ‘plan-group’ perceived less benefit and incurred more cost compared to those in the ‘unplan-group’. The future research is proposed at the end of this manuscript

USABILITY OF E-LEARNING PORTAL AND HOW IT AFFECTS STUDENTS’ ATTITUDE AND SATISFACTION, AN EXPLORATORY STUDY

This paper reports a result of an exploratory study on student’s attitude towards e-learning. The focus has been on the usability of Papirus, an e-learning system developed in one department of a big university, and how certain usability factors affect students’ attitude toward e-learning. An online survey has been conducted in which the respondents were the department students who attended courses that have been put up in Papirus. Eighty six complete responses have been collected and analyzed. Data was analyzed using Visual PLS. The result shows that ease of navigation has strong effect on perceived ease of use, which in turn affects user attitude and satisfaction. The same also applicable for effectiveness in which it affects perceived usefulness, which in turn affects user attitude and satisfaction. Discussion about the result is given

Student Satisfaction with Online Learning: A Multigroup Analysis

The Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic “forced” students to attend online classes roughly from mid-March 2020. This situation, which caused universities, among other institutions, to deal with an overnight change in course delivery from traditional face-to-face to online mode, has resulted in many students facing difficulties. They must cope with the available infrastructure, unstable and limited Internet connection, course delivery, and their self-discipline. Male and female students may have different preferences regarding technology use. This study focused on student satisfaction with the above situation and determined whether a difference exists between male and female students using Technology Acceptance Model as the main theoretical background. Seven hypotheses were proposed and tested with the whole dataset and comparisons between the two groups. Due to the strict health protocol, an online survey was employed using Google Form to collect data. Respondents were 327 undergraduate students from one higher institution in Yogyakarta, comprising 140 male and 187 female students. The population consisted of undergraduate students who have been attending online classes since March 2022. A multigroup analysis was performed using SmartPLS 3.3.3. Results indicated no gender difference in all hypothesized relationships. The theoretical contribution can be seen from the use of Internet Quality, User Interface Quality, and Delivery Quality as the three exogenous variables of the proposed model. The practical contribution is that technology designers must pay attention to the different preferences of user groups

Perbedaan Beban Kognitif pada Penggunaan Kata Sandi Berbasis Pola Garis dan Angka

Most applications require users to enter a password in order to use those applications. One type of the passwords used on smartphones is based on certain line pattern. The pattern of lines that make up the password is essentially an image similar to a sequence of numbers arranged in a particular order. Just when users need to memorize a series of numbers, "memorizing" the line pattern also gives cognitive load to certain level. This study observed the cognitive load experienced by users when they were using line pattern-based password as compared to numeric-based password. The research method employed in this study was a scenario-based experiment followed by a survey to self-report the cognitive load experienced by the user after they run the scenario. Cognitive load experienced by users were reported by users themselves. The subjects of the study were 67 undergraduate and master students. They were voluntarily participated in this research. The result obtained from this study indicated that the cognitive load experienced by users when they used the pattern of the line based password was smaller than the number-based password
