Evaluating User Experience of the Portuguese District Archives websites
Ana Margarida Dias da Silva, Leonor Calvão Borges, Leonor Calvão Borges

Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Libraries (QQML), 2022

The aim of this study is to analyse the user experience (UX) that researchers have when accessing the websites of the Portuguese district archives. There are 20 Portuguese districts, 16 in the mainland, one in Madeira and three in the Azores islands. The Coimbra and Braga district archives are also university archives and are the only ones that aren't under the supervision of the National Archives Institute. In a year marked by the lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the gradual opening of public services, the use of websites to search for information has often become the only possibility of research, thus justifying the urgency of carrying out this study, unprecedented in Portugal.

Your Experience is Important! The User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) - Estonian Version
Tiia Artla

2018

The User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) is a measuring instrument for evaluating subjective experience of the users of interactive products. The study set out to adapt the UEQ to the Estonian language and to use it for evaluating everyday objects (learning tools), i.e. to test if the UEQ can be used also for a class of objects that were not in the scope of the construction of the UEQ. The data analysis is based on the instrument developed by the creators of the UEQ: UEQ Data Analysis Tool. It can be concluded from the study that the adaptation of the UEQ to the Estonian language was successful as the measurable values were mostly within the permissible range. Although the scale Dependability has a smaller consistency value, it is not small enough to indicate a significant problem. The study demonstrated that it is possible to use an instrument originally designed to assess interactive products for assessing non-interactive products. Thus, the questionnaire is presumably applicable t...

Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal

A meaningful User Experience can indicate successful of the application, so it is important to provide positive experience which aims to maximize the usability of an application. The purpose of this current study is to evaluate the user experience of an application called Teksologi: Gamification interactive typing for visually impaired children in Indonesia. User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) were applied to measure several aspects include attractiveness, dependability, efficiency, perspicuity, novelty, and stimulation. A total of 22 visually impaired participants had been involved for this study. Besides, Alpha Cronbach test and directly check the means of each items inside the scales to draw the conclusions were conducted to examine the consistency of each aspect, then comparison to UEQ benchmark also applied. The result show that all the quality aspect is positive. At the same time, stimulation had the highest value, but perspicuity had the smallest value that enhancement will be needed to make user feel easy to get familiar with the application, easy to learn to use the application.

Using a Study to Assess User eXperience Evaluation Methods from the Point of View of Users
Tayana Uchoa Conte

Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems, 2015

User eXperience (UX) refers to a holistic perspective and an enrichment of traditional quality models with non-utilitarian concepts, such as fun, joy, pleasure or hedonic value. In order to evaluate UX, several methods have been proposed that range from using questionnaires to employing biometrics to evaluate the users' emotions. However, few of these UX evaluation methods are comfortable or easy to use from the point of view of users. This paper presents a study in which 10 users applied the Expressing Emotions and Experiences (3E) and EmoCards methods. While 3E provides a template for reporting the experience, the EmoCards provides a set of cards illustrating emotions as helping material. We have analyzed the features that make it easy or difficult for users to employ these methods, the users' preference and the number of identified problems. Besides showing an application example of the methods to aid software practitioners in future evaluations, we identified that the EmoCards allowed users to identify more problems, but 3E was preferred do to its ease of use and freedom when describing an emotion and its causes.

Replicating an International Survey on User Experience: Challenges, Successes and Limitations
Carine Lallemand

In order to study how the notion of User Experience (UX) evolved over the last few years, an international survey originally conducted in 2008 by Law et al. has been replicated. Its main goal was to get some insights on the points of view from practitioners on the notion of UX. After having slightly adapted the initial (English) survey and having translated it into French and German, more than 758 valid answers have been collected from all over the world. This experience report aims at illustrating some of the challenges involved in the replication of such a study as well as successes and limitations.

Usability and User Experience
Christianne Falcao

CRC Press eBooks, 2022

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) should be a basic part of the formative process of all Computer Science (CS) professionals. Usability and User Experience (UX) were (re)defined by many authors and well recognized standards. UX is usually considered as an extension of usability. To move from usability to UX seems to be a tendency lately. The lack of generally agreed formal definitions of HCI/usability/UX may have consequences on their development and recognition among CS communities, especially in regions where HCI is poorly developed, as Latin America. Practical activities are fundamental in complementing the theoretical foundations of HCI/usability/UX. The practice is usually more appealing and persuasive than the theory. The gap between HCI/usability/UX research and practice may be reduced by applied research, problem-oriented, or at least based on real case studies.

A Study on User Experience
IRJET Journal

IRJET, 2022

Personal computing and information technology advancements have fundamentally changed how maps are produced and consumed, with many maps now being highly interactive and delivered online or via mobile devices. As a result, interaction needs to be viewed as a key addition to illustration in cartographic and visualization purposes. The terms "user interface" and "user experience" refer to a set of ideas, prescriptions, and procedures for considering critically the creation and use of interactive products. There are several ways available to effectively convey material to people. The emphasis moves to user comfort as a result of the flexibility and diversity of the information that may be supplied via web apps. Therefore, for such apps, a user experience design geared at user delight becomes the primary focus.

Beyond Users: Grounding Technology in Experience
Sara Ljungblad

2008

This thesis goes beyond a user-centred design approach to explore potential future applications and modes of interaction. With several design cases, we investigate how early technology ideas can be matched with a specific practice to inspire novel design. This involves learning about existing experiences, interests and activities that can be relevant for a potential application, but which are not necessarily found among the intended users. Starting with early technology ideas and then finding a suitable practice to learn from is an alternative perspective of design activities. This can be useful for researchers and designers in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) who are interested in complementing approaches compared to user-centred design. Our approach is also relevant for researchers that face technology-driven starting points, and want to investigate future applications by grounding the design in existing practices. Many people have contributed to this thesis. This includes advisors and colleagues who have read, commented on or discussed my work, as well as family and friends that have supported me with love and understanding. I cannot mention all of you in person here, but I still want to say a big thank you! First of all, I would like to thank my closest advisor Lars Erik Holmquist. Thank you for great support, co-authoring on papers, and for the inspiring and fun times at the Future Applications Lab. It has been a fantastic journey. I also want to thank Kristina Höök for fruitful discussions and help with some of the arguments in this thesis. Furthermore, I want to thank Bo Dahlbom for thoughtful early support in this process. A great thank you to all my present and former colleagues at the Future Applications Lab for all the great times we have shared, the amazing travelling memories and friendship. Thank you especially Maria Håkansson, Lalya Gaye, Mattias Jacobsson, Mattias Rost and Tobias Skog, for being excellent coauthors, and for all the fun we have had. I also want to thank Katarina Walter, Panajotis Mihalatos, Pontus Munck, Fredrik Helin, Theresia Höglund and Robert Zackaroff for their work in some of the projects. Thank you all present and former colleagues at the Viktoria Institute, the IT University of Göteborg, in the Mobile Services project and later at the Mobile Life Centre. Working with you has always been inspiring, rewarding and fun. Also, I would like to thank Ann Andreasson for administrative and other support throughout the years at the Viktoria Institute. And, a very special thank you to Mathias, for tremendous love, understanding, everyday support and encouragement.

eModeration: Towards a user experience evaluation framework
C.J. van Staden, Jan Kroeze

SAICSIT 2015 Proceedings, Stellenbosch, 28-30 Sept. 2015. ISBN 978-1-4503-3683-3/15/09., 2015

eModeration (or online moderation) can improve the user experience of the examination process while lowering the risk of losing scripts or delaying the moderation process. Despite these benefits to optimising examination procedures, the application of online moderation is limited. There could be various reasons for the lack of adopting eModeration including the technical, organisational and human factors. The focus of this study is on the human factors involved in eModeration and the research is guided by the following question: What are the most important user experience constructs for evaluating an electronic moderation (eModeration) system within the context of Higher Education Institutions in South Africa? This research uses a design science methodology, which comprises the development and testing of a user experience framework. In this paper, we will only report on the identification of the constructs for the user experience framework. The data generation methods will include interviews with deans from the different faculties and a survey with moderators and deans. The research was conducted at Midrand Graduate Institute, a Private Higher Education Institution in South Africa. The contribution of the paper is to identify the most important user experience constructs for evaluating an eModeration system and also to provide some insights on the user experience of the two different user groups. The enriched understanding of eModerators’ and deans’ user experience of eModeration contributes to the understanding of the human factors that influence the adoption of innovative assessment practices.

2012

To improve a product you will need most likely developers, managers and user feedback. Besides the basic software qualities other important properties are usability and user experience for developing a good product. Usability is well known and can be tested with e.g. a usability test or an expert review. In contrast user experience describes the whole impact a product has on the end-user. The timeline goes from before, while and after the use of a product. We present a tool that allows to evaluate the user experience of a product with little effort. We show in addition how this tool can be used for a continuous user experience assessment.

User experience - a research agenda
Noam Tractinsky

Behaviour & Information Technology, 2006

Over the last decade, 'user experience' (UX) became a buzzword in the field of humancomputer interaction (HCI) and interaction design. As technology matured, interactive products became not only more useful and usable, but also fashionable, fascinating things to desire. Driven by the impression that a narrow focus on interactive products as tools does not capture the variety and emerging aspects of technology use, practitioners and researchers alike, seem to readily embrace the notion of UX as a viable alternative to traditional HCI. And, indeed, the term promises change and a fresh look, without being too specific about its definite meaning. The present introduction to the special issue on 'Empirical studies of the user experience' attempts to give a provisional answer to the question of what is meant by 'the user experience'. It provides a cursory sketch of UX and how we think UX research will look like in the future. It is not so much meant as a forecast of the future, but as a proposal -a stimulus for further UX research.
