“…It is interesting to point out that the productions that work with usability are, in their majority, practical/applied studies (15 productions). Such as the productions by Ball and Bothma (2018) that presents the heuristic evaluation of e-dictionaries; and by Rogers and Preston (2009) that analyzes the usability for IA redesign of a library website. It is noticed in the SCOPUS productions a smaller exploration, compared to the Brazilian context, of the relationship of IA with Information Findability, since only 3 productions discuss Findability and associate it with IA and none of them deepens the discussion, thus there is no production in SCOPUS that fits in the category "Information Architecture and Findability".…”

Objective. Provide an overview of the scientific production on Information Architecture in the context of Information Science.Method. It is characterized as an exploratory and qualitative-quantitative study which used bibliometric techniques and content analysis. The scientific productions were retrieved from the Information Science Database (BRAPCI) and SCOPUS, as they bring together a significant quantity of productions on IA in the Brazilian and international contexts, respectively.Results. As a result, bibliometric indicators are presented (main authors and means publications, authors' countries of origin, recurring keywords and number of publications per year), and the thematic categories of the productions analysed are highlighted. We highlight the productions that mention IA, but focus on other discussions such as Usability, Accessibility and Findability, pointing out the relevance of IA as complementary to these other studies. Besides the productions with proposal, analysis, or evaluation of digital environments, where it is employed the systemic approach of IA and it was possible to observe that, in the Brazilian context, the applications focus on academic environments and, in the international context, on corporate environments. Conclusions. We conclude that the analysed productions collaborate with the social function of IC, demonstrating concern with the users of information, besides being relevant in the context of the post-custodial paradigm of Information Science, where the dissemination, access and use of information are valued, and, consequently, it is necessary that such information be organized and presented in a suitable way for its target audience.

“…Pada tahap ini peneliti tidak membuat instumen dari awal melainkan menggunakan instrumen dari penelitian terdahulu yaitu yang dibuat oleh Hale H. Turhangil Erenler dengan judul "Heuristic Evaluation of E-Learning" [17]. Hasil dari penelitian tersebut adalah tersaringnya 8 prinsip dari 10 prinsip yang memiliki reliabilitas diatas ratarata.…”

Perkembangan teknologi yang cukup pesat banyak memberikan manfaat kepada masyarakat di berbagai bidang. Salah satu bentuk pemanfaatan teknologi tersebut adalah penggunaan Learning Management System (LMS), sebuah perangkat lunak pendukung kegiatan belajar-mengajar secara daring. Agar nyaman digunakan, LMS perlu dirancang dengan mempertimbangkan aspek usability sesuai dengan latar belakang calon penggunanya. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bermaksud menyelidiki perbedaan persepsi tingkat usability LMS berdasarkan latar belakang penggunanya, yaitu: gender, angkatan (tahun masuk perguruan tinggi), dan frekuensi penggunaan LMS. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode kuantitatif. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian survey dengan teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Instrumen yang dipakai adalah Usability Heuristics Evaluation. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada dua perguruan tinggi (PT) negeri di Yogyakarta, masing-masing dilakukan sebanyak dua tahap. Analisis data pada penelitian ini menggunakan analisis statistik deskriptif. Hasil yang didapatkan pada penelitian ini adalah secara umum: i) perempuan cenderung memberikan penilaian tingkat usability LMS yang lebih tinggi dibanding laki – laki; ii) mahasiswa angkatan yang lebih muda cenderung memberikan penilaian tingkat usability LMS yang lebih tinggi dibanding seniornya; iii) pengguna yang lebih sering memakai LMS cenderung memberikan penilaian tingkat usability LMS yang lebih tinggi dibanding mereka yang lebih jarang memakai.

“…It can be carried out at any software development stage upon identifying the problem and usually presents the best practical results (Kumar et al, 2020). The expert goes through the system once to get familiar with it during the heuristic evaluation and then thoroughly assesses the specific heuristics (Ball and Bothma, 2018). A maximum of five experts can identify usability problems (J.…”

Financial technology (FinTech) has swiftly revolutionized mobile money as one of the ways of accessing financial services in developing countries. Numerous mobile money applications were developed to access mobile money services but are hindered by severe authentication security challenges, thus, forcing the researchers to design a secure multi-factor authentication (MFA) algorithm for mobile money applications. Three prototypes of native mobile money applications (G-MoMo applications) were developed to confirm that the algorithm provides high security and is feasible. This study, therefore, aimed to evaluate the usability of the G-MoMo applications using heuristic evaluation and usability testing to identify potential usability issues and provide recommendations for improvement. Heuristic evaluation and usability testing methods were used to evaluate the G-MoMo applications. The heuristic evaluation was carried out by five experts that used the 10 principles proposed by Jakob Nielsen with a five-point severity rating scale to identify the usability problems. While the usability testing was conducted with forty participants selected using a purposive sampling method to validate the usability of the G-MoMo applications by performing tasks and filling out the post-test questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed in RStudio software. Sixty-three usability issues were identified during heuristic evaluation, where 33 were minor and 30 were major. The most violated heuristic items were "help and documentation", and "user control and freedom", while the least violated heuristic items were "aesthetic and minimalist design" and "visibility of system status". The usability testing findings revealed that the G-MoMo applications' performance proved good in learnability, effectiveness, efficiency, memorability, and errors. It also provided user satisfaction, ease of use, aesthetics, usefulness, integration, and understandability. Therefore, it was highly recommended that the developers of G-MoMo applications fix the identified usability problems to make the applications more reliable and increase overall user satisfaction.
