Software Application for Determining Conditions of the Human-Computer Interaction Using Fitts’ and Hick’s Laws

Abstrak: Open Journal Systems (OJS) adalah aplikasi perangkat lunak open source untuk mengelola dan menerbitkan jurnal ilmiah, untuk mendukung fungsinya tersebut Open Journal Systems (OJS) secara umum memiliki fitur yang dalam perkembangan setiap versinya mengalami perbaikan dan penyesuaian dengan kebutuhan. Proses penerbitan jurnal sangat berdampak pada proses akreditasi jurnal, oleh karena itu perlu dipahami proses bisnis alur pengiriman artikel dari author menggunakan Open Journal Systems (OJS) hingga artikel di publish. Dalam sistem diperlukan pemodelan perencanaan, desain dan penggunaan interface antara pengguna dan komputer, interaksi ini dikenal sebagai interaksi antara manusia dengan komputer (Human Computer Interaction). Framework digunakan untuk memahami interaksi sistem komputer memberikan fasilitas bahasa antara bahasa user dan bahasa sistem. Pengguna (user) dan sistem komputer (system) dapat saling berinteraksi menggunakan beberapa cara interaksi yaitu style kombinasi form fill-in dan direct manipulation. Open Journal Systems (OJS) 3.x. memiliki tampilan yang lebih ringkas, mudah dan flexible karena dibangun dengan prinsip Interaction Framework melibatkan user, input, system, output. Kata kunci: framework, HCI, jurnal, OJS, PKP Abstract: Open Journal Systems (OJS) is an open source software application to manage and publish scientific journals, to support this function Open Journal Systems (OJS) generally has features that in each version's development experience improvements and adjustments to the needs. The process of publishing a journal greatly affects the accreditation process of the journal, therefore it is necessary to understand the business process of sending articles from the author using Open Journal Systems (OJS) until the article is published. In the system required modeling planning, design and use of interfaces between users and computers, this interaction is known as the interaction between humans and computers (Human Computer Interaction). Framework is used to understand the interaction of computer systems to provide language facilities between the user's language and system language. Users (users) and computer systems (systems) can interact with each other using several modes of interaction, namely the combination style form fill-in and direct manipulation. Open Journal Systems (OJS) 3.x. has a more concise, easy and flexible appearance because it is built on the principle of Interaction Framework involving users, input, system, output.

The learnability principle relates to improving the usability of software, as well as users’ performance and productivity. A gap has been identified as the current definition of the principle does not distinguish between users of different ages. To determine the extent of the gap, this article compares the ways in which two user groups, adults and children, learn how to use an unfamiliar software application. In doing this, we bring together the research areas of human-computer interaction (HCI), adult and child learning, learning theories and strategies, usability evaluation and interaction design. A literature survey conducted on learnability and learning processes considered the meaning of learnability of software applications across generations. In an empirical investigation, users aged from 9 to 12 and from 35 to 50 were observed in a usability laboratory while learning to use educational software applications. Insights that emerged from data analysis showed different tactics and approaches that children and adults use when learning unfamiliar software. Eye tracking data was also recorded. Findings indicated that subtle re- interpretation of the learnability principle and its associated sub-principles was required. An additional sub-principle, namely engageability was proposed to incorporate aspects of learnability that are not covered by the existing sub-principles. Our re-interpretation of the learnability principle and the resulting design recommendations should help designers to fulfill the varying needs of different-aged users, and improve the learnability of their designs.Keywords: Child computer interaction, Design principles, Eye tracking, Generational differences, human-computer interaction, Learning theories, Learnability, Engageability, Software applications, UasabilityDisciplines: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Studies, Computer science, Observational Studies
