Abstract:

The purpose of this research study is to propose guidelines for providing a positive user experience for pupils using Dr Math®. User experience was found to have a positive impact on the acceptance and adoption of a product. Thus the proposed guidelines contribute in maximizing the adoption and acceptance of Dr Math® among pupils. This study begins with an introductory chapter that describes the problem that forms the basis for this research. The chapter defines the objectives that this study is intended to achieve in order to accomplish its ultimate goal. The methodology followed to conduct t

Abstract:

Story-focused news articles are a different type of news articles, containing more visual and interactive elements, developed in order to engage a younger audience for online newspapers. User engagement has been defined as the “emotional, cognitive and behavioral connection between a user and a resource”, and different metrics are used to track the user engagement of the readers on these articles. However, there is no prior research on which of these metrics describe user engagement in the most accurate way. This study therefore aims to find out what metrics to use when measuring user engageme

If a digital TV signal is successfully received and decoded it can guarantee a set picture quality. Clear operational power thresholds due to the hard failure of digital TV can be set, however when a digital system is operating far in excess of the operational threshold, there is no discernible advantage to either the user or broadcaster. This is effectively a waste of broadcast power; if the system could be adaptively tuned to operate at just above the threshold then the energy efficiency of the overall system would be improved. If the broadcaster had access to accurate. Channel State Informa

Abstract:

Usability is seen as an important aspect for the quality of an M-learning application. Yet very little research has been conducted in this area – particularly in South Africa. Even though the trials of M-learning projects have been witnessed in the country during the last five years, very little is known about the systems that were implemented as regards their usability. Additionally, metrics and measures used in evaluating usability have not been reported. A need exists for relevant metrics to M-learning usability.

This dissertation presents a metric-based tool called GUIEvaluator for evaluating the complexity of the user interface based on its structure. The metrics-model consists of five modified structural measures of interface complexity: Alignment, grouping, size, density, and balance. The results of GUIEvaluator are discussed in comparison with the subjective evaluations of interface layouts and the existing complexity metrics-models. To extend this metrics-model, t

Abstract:

When using graphical user interfaces (GUIs), the main problems that frustrates users are long response times and delays. These problems create a bad impression of the GUI, as well as of the company that created it.When providing a GUI to users it is important to provide intuition, ease of use and simplicity while still delivering good performance. However, some factors that play a major role regarding the performance aspect is outside the developers’ hands, namely the client’s internet connection and hardware. Since every client has a different combination of internet connection and hardware,

Understanding the effects of quality metrics on the user behavior is important for the increasing number of content providers in order to maintain a competitive edge. The two data sets used are gathered from a provider of live streaming and a provider of video on demand streaming.

A model that can predict and simulate the user behavior is developed and tested. A time series model, machine learning model and a combination of both are com

Traditional methods of evaluating quality in computer end user documentation have been subjective in nature, and have not been widely used in practice. Attempts to quantify quality and more narrowly define the essential features of quality have been limited -- leaving the issue of quality largely up to the writer of the user manual. Quantifiable measures from the literature, especially Velotta (1992) and Brockman (1990), have been assembled into a set of uniformly weighted metrics for the measurement of document quality. This measure has been applied to the end user documentation of eighty-two

An important post-9/11 objective has been to connect law enforcement agencies so they can share information that is routinely collected by police. This low-level information, gathered from sources such as traffic tickets, calls for service, incident reports and field contacts, is not widely shared but might account for as much as 97% of the data held in police records systems. U.S. policy and law assume that access to this information advances crime control and counterterrorism efforts.

Abstract:

Accessibility evaluation is an important equity-oriented step in assessing the effectiveness and usefulness of online learning materials for users with disabilities. The popular uptake of blended and online learning warrants an assessment of the accessibility of university web-based systems. Previous studies indicated that such systems have become gradually inaccessible as the complexity of their content increases, yet higher education institutions continue to pay minimal attention to this issue. Administrators of university websites and companies that develop learning management systems usual

Abstract:

There is extensive literature written about how to calculate Return on Marketing Investment (ROMI) and its importance for marketing managers. However, there are not many studies made on how and when Return on Marketing Investment metrics are used in real life and if and how it is used to argue the value of a marketing activity. We have in this study with comparative cases investigated if and how ROMI metrics are used by managers outside the marketing department in their decision-making process. We based our case selection on how well they represented "Mad men to Math men" presented in Gilan an

Abstract:

Within the aerospace, defence, space, and security (ADS) industries, there is a growing reporting requirement and interest in understanding and reducing the environmental impacts of products and related risks to business. This dissertation presents the research carried out in collaboration with six ADS companies (ADS Group, Airbus Group, BAE Systems, Bombardier Aerospace, Granta Design, and Rolls-Royce) to establish industry methods for consistently measuring and reporting two pre-selected product-based environmental indicators identified as important to the industry: energy consumption and ac

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Harvard University--MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, 2005.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 229-233).<br>This thesis addresses the design and evaluation of algorithms to improve speech reception for cochlear-implant (CI) users in adverse listening environments. We develop and assess performance metrics for use in the algorithm design process; such metrics make algorithm evaluation efficient, consistent, and subject independent. One promising performance metric is the Speech Transmission Index (STI), which is well correlated with speech reception by nor

Abstract:

Stream ecosystems have experienced significant negative impacts from land use, resource exploitation, and urban development. Statistical models allow researchers to explore the relationships between these landscape variables and stream conditions. Weighting the relevant landscape variables based on hydrologically defined distances offers a potential method of increasing the predictive capacity of statistical models. Using observations from three grouped watersheds in the Portland Metro Area (n=66), I have explored the use of three different weighting schemes against the standard method of taki
