Objective We searched for the application of usability in the literature with a focus on adoption, measurements employed, and demonstrated value. Five human factors domains served as a platform for our reflection, which included the last 20 years. Background As usability studies continue to accumulate, there has been only a little past reflection on usability and contributions across a variety of applications. Our research provides a background for general usability, and we target specific usability research subareas within transportation, aging populations, autistic populations, telehealth, and cybersecurity. Method "Usability" research was explored across five different domains within human factors. The goal was not to perform an exhaustive review but, rather, sample usability practices within several specific subareas. We focused on answering three questions: How was usability adopted? How was it measured? How was it framed in terms of value? Conclusion We found that usability is very domain specific. Usability benchmarking studies and empirical standards are rare. The value associated with improving usability ranged widely—from monetary benefits to saving lives. Thus, researchers are motivated to further improve usability practices. A number of data collection and interpretation challenges still call for solutions. Application Findings offer insight into the development of usability, as applied across a variety of subdomains. Our reflection ought to inform future theory development efforts. We are concerned about the lack of established benchmarks, which can help ground data interpretation. Future research should address this gap in the literature. We note that our findings can be used to develop better training materials for future usability researchers.

The issue of declining achievement scores in Trends in Mathematics and Science Study for mathematics and science has opened the eyes of scientists from academia and Malaysia government. These things give the impression that the teaching and learning of mathematics and science need to be improved. One of the strategies that have been suggested by the Blueprint (Malaysia Education Blueprint [Higher Education]) is to use experience-based approach. Adventure learning is a hybrid approach that has basic characteristics of experiential learning and inquiry learning. It is seen as having the characteristics of improving the skills of the 21st century in terms of leadership and critical thinking skills. A module that implements learning adventure-based learning on Statistics has been developed. The main objective of this study is to see the students' perceptions of Adventure Statistics Modules after they followed the learning process. The quantitative approach is used to measure student perceptions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Data shows that students have a positive perception on this modules. So, this module has a high degree of usability, 90.2% of unit 1, 94.12% of Unit 2, unit 3 is 91.15% and 96.47 for the overall. Therefore, this module should be used and tested for its effectiveness against students in the future

"Oft stehen hilfreiche Funktionalitäten in den Softwarepaketen der Kliniken zur Verfügung, werden aber aus unterschiedlichen Gründen nicht genutzt – und genau hier setzt die Studie Usabil-IT ein", sagt Christof Seggewies, Leiter der AG KAS.

28th Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference Scientific/Research Proceedings, San Diego, 2013 ; It is critical that all adults be able to successfully and independently engage in the voting process. In order to ensure that this is possible, individuals with disabilities must be included in usability evaluations of accessible voting systems, and the present paper defines standardized evaluation criteria and benchmarks for including blind, visually impaired, and dexterity limited individuals in testing. While voting accuracy is always the most important measure of any voting system, additional factors disproportionately impact individuals with disabilities, which can make the voting process difficult and painful if not properly controlled. As a result, the authors propose the use of revised Voluntary Voting System Guidelines and Voting Performance Protocol measures for total completion score, voter inclusion index, and perfect ballot index, as well as two new measures, voting time and interactions, to determine whether a system should be considered acceptable for people with disabilities. These new measures are necessary to ensure that the voting process can be successfully and reasonably completed by individuals with disabilities.

Government websites offer great benefits to citizens and governments. Such benefits, however,cannot be realized if websites are unusable. This study investigates usability of government websites in Uganda.Using the feature investigation method, the study evaluated four Ugandan government websites according tothree perspectives. Results show that websites are partially usable in the design layout and navigationperspectives but are rather weak in stating legal policies. Evaluation results provide the Ugandan governmentwith a clear picture of what needs to be improved according to international website design standards. Moreover,the parsimonious evaluation framework proposed in the research is useful for any country that wants to do aquick and easy evaluation of their government websites. ; open access journal (green)

Kebijakan pemerintah di masa pandemi berdampak pada perubahan kegiatan pembelajaran di Universitas PGRI Madiun, di mana keseluruhan proses dilaksakan secara daring, salah satunya dengan memanfaatkan ELMA (e-learning Universitas PGRI Madiun). Dalam praktiknya, pengguna mengeluh ketika menggunakan platform tersebut, salah satunya terdapat beberapa tombol yang malfungsi, beberapa menu dashboard membuat bingung pengguna, dan masih banyak permasalahan lainnya. Namun, keluhan tersebut belum bisa terakomodasi dengan baik, sehingga membuat pengguna merasa kurang nyaman dalam menggunakan platform tersebut, sehingga diperlukan evaluasi untuk mengungkap kondisi usability ELMA. Hal ini perlu dilakukan mengingat salah satu misi dari ELMA adalah mendukung pembelajaran online melalui fitur yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan pengguna. Adapaun evaluasi usablity yang bisa dilakukan salah satunya dengan menggunakan SUS (System Usability Scale). SUS merupakan salah satu instrumen evaluasi yang digunakan untuk melihat usability dari sebuah produk perangkat lunak. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi usability terhadap 30 responden mahaiswa di berbagai lintas angkatan program studi sistem informasi, platform ELMA memiliki skor rata-rata sebesar 44 dengan rating rendah dan nilai huruf F. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa ELMA masih memiliki tingkat kegunaan/usability yang masih rendah. Sehingga perlu adanya perbaikan, diantaranya menghilangkan menu yang dirasa tidak diperlukan, memperbaiki tampilan dari forum diskusi, perbaikan plug-in fitur live conference, perbaikan terhadap tombol yang sering terjadi malfungsi, serta percepatan loading page pada paltform tersebut. Government policy during the pandemic has an impact on changes in learning activities at the University of PGRI Madiun, where the whole process is carried out online, one of them by utilizing ELMA (E-learning of Madiun PGRI University). In practice, users complain when using the platform, one of which is a number of useless buttons, some dashboard menus that confuse users, and many other ...

Most people have used information technology to reach certain goals. Pagimana District is one of the region in Banggai Regency that has utilized the development of information technology to ease the work of the government. The Village Financial System ( henceforth, SISKEUDES) functions to facilitate the village government in managing, implementation and reporting village funds. Therefore, i tis essential to measure the quality and amenity of SISKEUDES usage for users by evaluating some aspects, i.e., intelligibility, user-friendliness, and efficiency in terms of facilitating the village government's work. This present study relied on the System Usability Scale (SUS) method by distributing a questionnaire to respondents. It shows the usability grade in the SISKEUDES app (57, poor category), in which users find it unsatisfactory to apply the system. This can be a benchmark for the central government to better the system develompment that meets the user's needs.
