Major changes in the design process are required for Information Systems departments to make the shift from a traditional development life cycle to the user-centered methods required for the development of Client/Server systems. This type of change can be very difficult to accomplish. “Global Enterprises,” a large commodities company, headquartered in the US, is in the early phases of this shift. Their strategy has been to form a cross-functional User Interface team. The efforts underway at Global are presented to illustrate many of the typical technical and organizational issues companies face early in the process of introducing new design methods. The paper concludes by summarizing on key lessons learned.

The US Navy is currently implementing “optimal manning” approaches to the design of future warships. Simply put, this emphasis takes the form of designing and deploying ships whose blend of human and mechanical/computer-based systems reduces the need for traditionally large crews while improving overall system performance and safety. Reflecting this emphasis, a Future Surface Combatant program currently in the design stage is the first Navy procurement in which the principles of user-centered design (UCD) and human-systems integration (HSI) are key design drivers. The integration of UCD and HSI methods has never been attempted in a design effort of this magnitude, and has inevitably led to illuminating insights on the part of human factors, system engineering, and other disciplines engaged in the effort. This paper provides an overview of “lessons learned,” and is intended to assist the future integration of UCD and HSI principles into the design of similarly complex systems.

BACKGROUND Text-messaging interventions can be effective and efficient ways to improve health behavioral change. However, most texting interventions are not tested and designed in real-word settings with diverse end users, which could reduce their impact. OBJECTIVE We combined participant feedback, crowdsourced data, and researcher expertise to develop motivational text-messages in English and Spanish to encourage physical activity in low-income minority patients with diabetes diagnoses and depression symptoms. METHODS First, we designed messages to increase physical activity based on behavior change theory and knowledge from the available evidence. Second, we refined these messages after a card sorting task and semi-structured interviews (n=10) and tested their likeability during a test phase of an app prototype (n=8). Third, the messages were tested by English and Spanish speaking participants in the Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) crowdsourcing platform (n=134). Participants on MTurk were asked to categorize the messages into our overarching theoretical categories, which are based on the COM-B (capability, opportunity, motivation - behavior) framework. Finally, each coauthor also rated messages for their overall quality from 1 to 5. RESULTS 200 messages were iteratively refined according to feedback from target users gathered through User Centered Design methods, crowdsourced results of a categorization test, and an expert review. User feedback was leveraged for discarding unappealing messages and for editing thematic aspects of messages that did not resonate well with target users. 54 messages out of 200 were sorted into the correct theoretical categories at least 50% of the time and rated at least 3.5 or higher. These were included in the final text message bank, resulting in 18 messages per motivational category. CONCLUSIONS Using an iterative process of expert opinion, feedback from participants reflective of our target study population, crowdsourcing, and feedback from the research team, we were able to acquire valuable input for the design of motivational text-messages to increase physical activity developed in English and Spanish with a low literacy level. We describe design considerations and lessons learned for the text-messaging development process and provide a novel framework for future developers of health text-messaging interventions.

Business Placement Center membantu mengelola website alumni dalam memenuhi kebutuhan alumni salah satunya memberikan informasi mengenai lowongan pekerjaan. Website Alumni Amikom sudah memberikan informasi mengenai lowongan pekerjaan. Namun website alumni masih perlu ditambahkan fitur-fitur menu penunjang dalam mempermudah pencarian informasi pekerjaan yang sesuai keinginan pengguna. Penggunaan metode User Centered Design untuk mempermudah pengguna dalam menggunakan fasilitas yang ada pada website ketika mencari informasi lowongan pekerjaan dan pengguna berperan penting dalam setiap proses UCD. Dengan pendekatan User Centered Design diharapkan dapat menghasilkan tampilan dan fungsionalitas yang maksimal pada rancangan sistem yang dibangun sehingga sesuai dengan kebutuhan pengguna. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan yaitu observasi, wawancara dan kuesioner untuk mengetahui kebutuhan pengguna. Analisis dan perancangan menggunakan pendekatan User Centered Design dan implementasi perancangan sistem. Hasil penelitiannya adalah pengguna merasa nyaman dengan tampilan antarmuka website yang sudah dibangun, informasi yang disajikan mudah dipahami dan fitur-fitur menu sudah berhasil berjalansesuai fungsi.Business Placement Center help manage the website for the needs of alumnus one of them is to provide information on a vacancy. The alumnus website’s provides information about job vacancy. The website still need the support to facilitate the searching all the features the work in accordance with what the use. The method of user centered design to make it easy for users in the use of the existing facilities at the website while searching for information a vacancy and users play an important role in any proses UCD. User Centered Design approach is expected to produce the interface and functionality maximal built in the system so that in accordance with the need of users. Research methodology was by observation, interviews and quesionnaires to find out the need of users. Analysis and design using UCD approach and implementation of the system. The results of research is users feel comfortable with a display interface of website which have been built, the information is easily understood and menu features has been successfully run a function.
