Abstract
This study presents a multicriteria decision-making model that integrates the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) with the VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) methodologies. The model aims to develop an influence framework for user interface design (UID) and validate the relationships among its components. The focus is on identifying key dimensions and criteria of UID in mobile learning and assessing their relative importance. The study evaluates 17 subcriteria after applying DEMATEL and VIKOR, as rated by 24 experts. A key finding is the visualisation of causal relationships, revealing that the colour scheme is notably influenced by font type, underscoring the colour scheme as the most critical factor in mobile learning interface design. Additionally, the study emphasises the importance of adopting continuous design approaches to improve interactive experiences and streamline mobile processes.
期刊介绍:
Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives.
The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
