Usability Criteria

This paper identifies the respondents’ views towards e-Voting (electronic technology voting) such as the process, users’ satisfaction, and relevancy, and to determine the usability criteria of e- voting’s interface, in which it employs a quantitative method, using self-administered adapted questionnaires. The survey involves 250 respondents (voters), who immediately completed five Likert scales survey after they had voted for the committee members in two general elections: a social club for the university’s staff (using Internet) and an organization for the female staff of the university (using the Intranet). The respondents were of different demographic backgrounds and they casted their online votes at two different periods (two years difference). The data were analysed using the SPSS software. The study found positive responses from most of the voters in which they expressed their satisfaction that e-Voting was convenient and easy to be used in the voting process, where the system illustrated relevant content and generated adequate procedures. Notably, the usability criteria of the interface of e-Voting as indicated by most respondents are between good to very good scales (navigation, graphic, user-friendliness andconsistency, content, and transparency).

Of the 15.6 million people with disabilities who voted in the 2012 United States Presidential Election, one- third had difficulties voting at the precinct. This statistic is one of the reasons work continues on Prime III, an all-accessible electronic voting system, designed to be used by all voters, regardless of ability or disability. To describe the current state of voting for disabled voters and identify issues Prime III can further address, focus groups were conducted with the Alachua County Council of the Blind in Florida. Four focus groups were run with 18 participants in total. Preliminary results find that while the current accessible voting machines satisfactorily allow disabled voters to cast their votes, there are features and functions Prime III can provide that are not available now such as voice input, universal access, and privacy. Next steps include conducting focus groups with disabled students at the University of Florida.

We describe the output from a recently-funded JISC Learning and Teaching Innovation Grant: Electronic Voting Analysis and Feedback for all (EVAF4All). We have created a web-based software tool (EVAF) that allows electronic voting system data captured at the point of delivery in lectures, to be fed back to students, thus providing valuable formative feedback of their progress over what can be a large number of such questions. In institutions where 'loanership' models of handset distribution are used (typically, when students keep the same handset for a whole course or year) this is particularly powerful as it can supply students with their own data as well as the aggregate data from the rest of the cohort. Academic staff can use the tool to evaluate the effectiveness of their clicker questions as an aide to course monitoring or development processes. We briefly cover the technical aspects of the system we have built and also present a case study of its use in an introductory Physics course taught at the University of Edinburgh.

A number of proposals have been put forward in recent years by historians in both the British and American academies for increasing the audience for academic history. In part this is due to the significant reduction in support for history programmes in both countries since the 2008 financial crisis. Absent from those proposals, however, is a call to use the popular interest generated by programmes such as Downton Abbey to foster an appreciation for academic history outside the university. Drawing on theories of fan culture developed within media and cultural studies, this article argues for the compatibility of academic history and communities created by fans. It discusses my experience of using Downton Abbey to lecture on the pre-First World War British voting system, utilising the biographies of the show's characters to demonstrate the ways in which British voting was far more restricted in practice than it seemed. The article argues that even those committed to the most traditional forms of academic history can take advantage of opportunities presented by shows like Downton Abbey. It then explores the connections between this method of public engagement and Judith Butler's arguments in Undoing Gender, which examine how conditions for recognition and communication across ideological and cultural divisions can be created.

Regulations And Guidelines

UNSTRUCTURED DattaMeghe Institute of Medical Sciences has been declared as Deemed to be University [DMIMS (DU)] under section 3 of UGC Act, 1996 in the year 2005. The University examinations are conducted as per the rules, regulations and guidelines issued by the various Apical councils of India from time to time. The first University exam was conducted in the year 2006. DMIMS (DU) has initiated various reforms by its own in assessment and evaluation process based on needs. For any system to thrive, it needs to be constantly upgraded and critically evaluated. Therefore, a study is undertaken with this in mind and thereby aimed at evaluation and validation of the assessment and evaluation reforms formulated and implemented at DMIMS (DU) since its inception (year 2006).Need analysis for the assessment and evaluation reforms will be carried out on the basis of feedbacks and reports received from respective stakeholders (Students, Faculty and External examiners) from time to time. Outcome analysis of the Feedbacks and reports will be done subsequently after the implementation of the assessment and evaluation reforms. Further based on the outcome analysis, reforms will be validated into following parameters: Objectivity, Responsiveness, User friendliness, Residual component (not covered in above 3 parameters)and a satisfactory index will be derived. If satisfactory index for reform is 100%, it will be concluded that reforms are well received and good to excellent in nature. Total 33 assessment and evaluation reforms have beenimplemented since year 2006. These reforms will be categorised into Pre-Examination (n=18), On Site Examination (n=05) and Post Examination (n=10), and in each category, they will befurther classified into academic (Total =15) and administrative (Total = 18) on the basis of their domain for the ease of structuring and implementation.All the 33 reforms will be validated on the basis of defined parameters. They will be found satisfactory.

PurposeTo identify the factors that influence adoption of e‐voting services by citizens between the ages of 18‐24.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses Carter and Belanger's (2005) model of e‐government adoption to assess young voters' intention to use an online voting system. The study integrates constructs from technology acceptance, diffusion of innovation, and web trust models. A survey is administered to 208 young voters. The data is analyzed using multiple regression analysis.FindingsResults indicate that user perceptions of compatibility, usefulness, and trust significantly impact their intention to use an electronic‐voting system. The model explains 76 percent of the variance in young voters' intention to use an e‐voting system.Research limitations/implicationsThe study only explores the perceptions of one age group. Future studies could use the model to access adoption perceptions of a more diverse pool of citizens.Practical implicationsGovernment agencies should emphasize the benefits of this electronic service to young voters. If marketed properly, the convenience and compatibility of e‐voting may be influential enough to motivate this normally apathetic demographic to participate in the election process.Originality/valueThis study explores adoption of internet voting by young citizens. An understanding of the factors that influence this demographics' intention to use e‐voting systems can be used to increase voter participation. The findings of this study also lay the foundation for future studies on e‐voting adoption.
