The rich contributions made in the field of human computer interaction (HCI) have played a pivotal role in shifting the attention of the industry to the interaction between users and computers (Myers, 1998). However, technologies that include hypertext, multimedia, and manipulation of graphical objects were designed and presented to the users without referring to critical findings made in the field of cognitive psychology. These findings allow designers of multimedia educational systems to present knowledge in a fashion that would optimize learning.

Challenges remain in leveraging e-health technologies for continuous medical education/professional development. This study examines the interface design and learning process features related to the use of multimedia in providing effective support for the knowledge and practice of surgical skills. Twenty-one surgical trainees evaluated surgical content on a CD-ROM format based on 14 interface design and 11 learning process features using a questionnaire adapted from an established tool created to assess educational multimedia. Significant Spearman’s correlations were found for seven of the 14 interface design features – ‘Navigation’, ‘Learning demands’, ‘Videos’, ‘Media integration’, ‘Level of material’, ‘Information presentation’ and ‘Overall functionality’, explaining ratings of the learning process. The interplay of interface design and learning process features of educational multimedia highlight key design considerations in e-learning. An understanding of these features is relevant to the delivery of surgical training, reflecting the current state of the art in transferring static CD-ROM content to the dynamic web or creating CD/web hybrid models of education.

<p class="SammaryHeader" align="center"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><em>Learning activities do not always have to be done in the form of face-to-face lecture meetings. Learning can be done anywhere as long as it is supported by appropriate tools such as multimedia. The use of appropriate and interesting learning multimedia is felt necessary to increase student interest and learning achievement. Just like the material conversion of numbers and colors that have been considered as material that is quite difficult to be absorbed directly by students. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to design a media that can help lecturers convey material conversion of numbers and colors lighter and the material will be more easily understood by students. The multimedia interface design of learning numbers and color conversions is designed to be developed on the Android platform with a user centered design (UCD) approach. Interface testing is still carried out by researchers and only a few user samples. This is done in order to get feedback from a sample of users regarding the interface design that has been made so that it is right on target. There are several pages consisting of a splash page, a menu page, an introductory page, a study material page, a number calculator page, a color calculator page, a practice page, and a quiz page. Specifically for the quiz page, all quiz questions are planned to be timed. It aims to measure the success of absorption of numbers and color conversion material in the teaching and learning process carried out by students and lecturers</em><em>.<strong></strong></em></p><p><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords : </em></strong><em>android, multimedia, interface, calculator</em></p><p class="SammaryHeader" align="center"><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></p><p><em>Kegiatan pembelajaran tidaklah harus selalu dilakukan dalam bentuk pertemuan kuliah langsung bertatap muka. Belajar bisa dilakukan dimana pun asalkan didukung dengan tools yang tepat seperti multimedia. Penggunaan multimedia pembelajaran yang tepat dan menarik dirasa perlu untuk meningkatkan minat dan prestasi belajar mahasiswa. Sama halnya seperti materi konversi bilangan dan warna yang selama ini dianggap sebagai materi yang cukup susah untuk diserap langsung oleh mahasiswa. Oleh karena itu dirasa perlu merancang sebuah media yang dapat membantu dosen menyampaikan materi konversi bilangan dan warna dengan lebih ringan dan materi pun akan lebih mudah dipahami oleh mahasiswa. Desain antarmuka multimedia pembelajaran konversi bilangan dan warna ini dirancang untuk dikembangkan pada platform android dengan pendekatan user centered design (UCD). </em><em>Pengujian antarmuka masih dilakukan oleh peneliti dan beberapa sampel pengguna</em><em> saja</em><em>. Hal ini dilakukan guna mendapatkan umpan balik dari sampel pengguna mengenai desain antarmuka yang sudah dibuat</em><em> sehingga tepat sasaran</em><em>. </em><em>Terdapat beberapa halaman yang terdiri dari halaman awal (splash page), halaman menu, halaman pendahuluan, halaman materi belajar, halaman kalkulator bilangan, halaman kalkulator warna, halaman latihan, dan halaman kuis. Khusus untuk halaman kuis, pengerjaan semua soal kuis direncanakan untuk diberi batas waktu. Hal ini bertujuan untuk mengukur keberhasilan penyerapan materi konversi bilangan dan warna dalam proses belajar mengajar yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa dan dosen.</em></p><strong><em>Kata kunci : </em></strong><em>android, multimedia, antarmuka, kalkulator</em>
