The University

Website interface can be a very effective communication medium between the university and the users such as potential students, current students and other authorities. The purpose of this study is to investigate interface components that represent important information in university website, which led to the enrollment of students. This study is motivated by the user frustration or thwarted by the frequent usability problems of university website and problem in representing important information into required by potential students. The interface component and the important information on university website are identified through a comprehensive literature review. There are several factors that influence the student's decision process such as tuition fees, scholarship, ratings / reputation, vicinity to home and the majors offered. The interface components that are used in this research are metaphor, navigation, mental model, interactions and appearance. This study will produce the interface design guideline based on the most frequent used of interface component. Analysis of 5 universities has been conducted to identify how the important information, which leads to student’s enrollments is presented on the interface.

Voice Response

The purpose of this paper is to present a case for the development of a user interface design guideline or standard for interactive voice response applications, to be widely disseminated throughout business and industry. A number of sample problems are cited, based on the author's consulting experience in this area, which serve to demonstrate that many of the problems encountered in IVR application development, particularly in scripting/dialogue design and use of automated speech recognition as a front-end, are not only solvable, but easily avoidable, given the current human factors knowledge base. The paper also discusses the Specification Document developed by the Voice Messaging User Interface Forum (1990, April), and the reasons why it cannot be applied, as written, to the user interface design of more complex IVR applications. Finally, the author proposes an approach to developing the proposed guideline/standard.

The World

Websites play an important role as a communication tool between people around the world. This phenomenon introduces the medium of communication, the user interface (UI), between humans and machines as a key player. The existing web development process recognizes this importance but does not follow any precise guidelines for the construction of UI as an activity within the system development life cycle. This paper describes a method for constructing UI based on users’ Mental Model patterns (uMMp) from the localization of web objects. This method can be incorporated into the development process in order to better fulfill users’ expectations. The uMMp describe interface design solutions favouring the development of a UI.

Location Aware

This paper centers on research of the user interface design of mobile commerce (m-commerce) focusing on the location of the songket business. The research is based on a comparison method between interfaces of location-aware m-commerce with different domains. The goal is to analyze the aspect of m-commerce interface design that has already been accepted by the user. 7C’s interface design elements have been selected as the guideline of the analysis. The comparison analysis of localization technique showed that four out of the seven elements are suitable for the guideline; namely Context, Customization, Communication and Connection.  Research proved A-GPS technique suitable for application of songket localization. The outcome of the research is the user interface of location aware m-commerce based on multi user mental model specific to songket localization using A-GPS technique.

The University

The Swedish National Institute for Working Life and the University of Jönköping are cooperating in a project to produce a multimedia (CD-ROM based) program to be used by children. The target group concists of children in between 6 and 12 years of age and the main objective with the program is to make children aware of the physical ergonomic aspects in the use of computer workstations in the school environment. Nomos Management AB was asked to conduct an usability evaluation test of the program to ensure ease of use. The test pointed out a number of usability problems in the program. The majority of the problems could be separated under two headlines - “user interface design” and “lack of understanding the user”.

Initial Work

This paper presents initial work on mobile user-interface for electronic medical record for cardio experts. The current problem exits when the existing system is left unused by the users, in our case the cardio surgeons due to bad user interface design which involve a heavy cognitive loads and navigation problems. Medical records contain treatment history and relevant experiences related to the patient care. In order to avoid paper based medical record (PMR) drawbacks, most industrialized nations have implemented electronic medical record (EMR). This research aims to evaluate the existing CSAS system usability using heuristic evaluation and then develop an EMR system that overcomes the interface usability problems by designing an effective user interface that is acceptable to healthcare professionals with tablets as the device. Hence, proposing a new user interface prototype taking into account the findings from the evaluation process.
