| Summary: | <p>One of the most important characteristic of an online learning system is its ability to access the</p><p>ease of use of the system. Nowadays, many types of application for e learning have been developed.</p><p>However, most of the software developers only focus on developing the system but not concern about</p><p>the usability of the system. In reality, the usability of the system is an important aspect of</p><p>system development. Poor usability will effects the utility of the system and will wasted the</p><p>user's time, causes worry and frustration and discourages further to use the system. Therefore,</p><p>usability testing has been considered as a potential method to evaluate a system. Based on</p><p>Shackle's Model of usability, the questionnaire is designed to evaluate the FTMSK Online Test</p><p>System. The questionnaire is based on the four usability factors such as effectiveness,</p><p>learnability, flexibility and attitude to determine students' and lecturers' view on the online</p><p>test system. The usability testing also has been conducted with the lecturers as a test subject.</p><p>The result of this study showed that the overall level of the usability for four construct</p><p>(effectiveness, learnability, flexibility and attitude) in student's point of view are in the</p><p>acceptablelevel (mean=3.9279). While, from the lecturer's point of view, the overall level of the</p><p>usability are also in the acceptable level (mean=3.833 l). From the research, we also found that</p><p>both students and lecturers acceptance toward the online test system is most highly in positive</p><p>level. The gender and online test experience do not influence lecturers' and students' acceptance.</p><p>This is because most of them are exposed to the information and communication technology. In</p><p>conclusion, the usability testing method has an ability to determine the level of user's acceptance on using the online test system</p><p></p> |
