Small-scale maps currently used are made by scanning and editing printed maps and its shortcoming is accumulated errors at the time of editing and low accuracy. TM projection method is used but its accuracy varies. In addition, small-scale maps are made without consideration of usability and compatibility with other scale maps. Therefore, it is necessary to suggest projection and coordinates system improvement methods in consideration of usability and compatibility between data. The results of this study reveal that in order to make the optimum small-scale map, projection that fits the purpose of map usage in each scale, coordinate system and neat line composition should be selected in consideration of interrelation and compatibility with other maps. Conic projection should be used to accurately illustrate the entire country, but considering usability and compatibility with other maps, traversing cylindrical projection should be used instead of conic projection. For coordinates system of the small-scale map, Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM-K) based on the World Geodetic System should be used instead of conventional longitude and latitude coordinate system or Transverse Mercator.

Many incidents of Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning have occurred because of people being unaware of its presence. There are currently available systems on the market, but they are limited to measuring CO in a certain area and lack vital functions. Additionally, little to no evidence-based information on their quality was available. Thus, a mobile application for detecting CO gas leakage in a vehicle and critical features to assist victims was developed. A usability and functionality test were conducted to determine the product's quality utilizing nine usability and six functionality task scenarios (n=5). Then, a System Usability Scale test was performed to obtain system satisfaction, usability, and learnability (n=50). The usability and functionality test shows that all the tasks given for both tests were 100% successful. The overall score obtained for SUS was 71.4, which indicates good acceptance and usability. Around 20% of respondents claimed that they would need the support of a technical person to be able to use the application and that they needed to learn a lot of things before they could use the application, which indicates the overall high learnability of the application. The result provides empirical evidence that the CO gas leakage detection mobile application is successful and receives good usability, functionality, acceptability, learnability, and satisfaction assessments. DetGas could benefit automobile owners and other stakeholders by mitigating the risk and harm associated with gas leaking that exceeds the safe limit.

Purpose: The aim of this study was conducted to assess the proficiency of both direct laryngoscopy and video laryngoscopy and the usefulness of each laryngoscope, thereby provide basic data for further education using video laryngoscopy. Methods: Forty one paramedic subjects participated in this study. Usability was measured with the System usability scale. The Macintosh direct laryngoscope and $C-MAC^{(R)}$ video laryngoscope were two instruments evaluated in the study. Results: Training with video laryngoscopy showed significantly better results within the categories of dental injury (p=.004), esophageal intubation (p=.001), and proper depth placement of intubation tubes (p=.019). The results of the System usability scale questionnaire and the degrees of visibility based on the Cormack & Lehane classification were also found to be better achieved with the video laryngoscopy (p=.000). Conclusion: This study suggests enhancing education with video laryngoscopy, which could reduce the risk of complications and duration of intubation while increasing the success rate among students and emergency medical technicians with little experience, rather than the existing method of only using direct laryngoscope, which requires considerable experience and skills.

Purpose: The usability, user satisfaction, and impact of electronic nursing record (ENR) systems were investigated. Methods: This mixed-method research was performed as a time-motion (TM) study and a survey which were carried out at six hospitals between August and November 2013. The TM study involved 108 nurses from medical, surgical, and intensive care units at each hospital, plus an additional 48 nurses who served as nonparticipating observers. In the survey, 1879 volunteer nurses completed the Impact of ENR Systems Scale, the System Usability Scale, and a global satisfaction scale. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed. Results: The mean scores for the ENR impact, system usability, and satisfaction were 4.28 (out of 6), 58.62 (out of 100), and 74.31 (out of 100), respectively, and they differed significantly between hospitals (F=43.43, p<.001, F=53.08 and p<.001, and F=29.13 and p<.001, respectively). A workflow fragmentation assessment revealed different patterns of ENR system use among the included hospitals. Three user characteristics-educational background, practice period, and experience of using paper records-significantly affected the system usability and satisfaction scores. Conclusion: The system quality varied widely among the ENR systems. The generally low-to-moderate levels of system usability and user satisfaction suggest many opportunities for improvement.

The most effective tutoring method is one-on-one, face-to-face in-person human tutoring. However, due to the limited availability of human tutors, computer-based alternatives have been developed. These software based alternatives are called Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) which are used to tutor students in different domains. Although ITS performance is inferior to that of human teachers, the field is growing and has recently become very popular. User interfaces play key role in usability perspective of ITS. Even though ITS research has advanced, the majority of the work has concentrated on learning sciences while mostly disregarding user interfaces. Because of this, the present ITS includes effective learning modules but a less effective interface design. Usability is one approach to gauge a software's performance, while "ease of use" is one way to assess a software's quality. This paper measures the usability effectiveness of an ITS which is designed to teach Object-Oriented (OO) analysis and design concepts using Unified Modeling Language (UML). Computer Supported Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ) survey was conducted for usability evaluation of UML-ITS. According to participants' responses to the system's usability survey, all responses lie between 1 to 3 scale points which indicate that the participants were satisfied and comfortable with most of the system's interface features.

Objective: Cognitive-motor trainings had a positive impact on cognitive function and dual-task trainings led to improvements of global cognitive function. The brain activity of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is another indicator that can infer cognitive function. This study aims to confirm the usability of the interactive system cognitive-motor training program and the changes in the prefrontal cortex through training. Design: Cross-sectional study Methods: In this study, two cognitive tasks were randomly applied to 20 adults as cognitive-motor training using an interactive system, and the same task was performed using the original method. During all tasks, the brain activity of the prefrontal cortex was measured by the change in oxyhemoglobin (HbO) in real-time using Functional Near-Infrastructure. After performing the tasks, the usability of the developed interactive system was evaluated by a usability questionnaire which consists of five items, and each item consists of a 7-point Likert scale that responds from 1 point to 7 points. Results: The HbO levels were increased during cognitive task performance than at the resting phase. And evaluating the usefulness of the interactive system, a questionnaire result showed that it would be useful for cognitive-motor programs. Conclusions: The cognitive-motor training using the interactive system increased the activity of the prefrontal cortex, and the developed wearable sensor-based interactive system confirmed its usefulness.

줌(zoom)은 COVID19 이후 비대면 온라인 수업 도구로 가장 대중적으로 사용되어 왔다. 하지만 최근 메타버스의 확산으로 인하여 수업 목적으로 메타버스 플랫폼의 활용이 증가하고 있다. 메타버스 플랫폼은 로블록스, 제페토, 스페이셜 등의 여러가지 유형이 있지만, 스페이셜은 온라인 강의실 생성과 다양한 학습 기능들을 제공하고 있고, 교수자와 학습자 또는 학습자와 학습자 간의 다양한 상호작용이 가능하기 때문에 대학 수업에서의 활용 가능성이 높다. 온라인 수업에서 스페이셜의 활용성을 높이기 위해서는 다양한 관점에서의 연구가 필요하고, 특히 줌과 비교한 스페이셜의 학습자경험을 비교 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 학습자 경험을 비교분석하기 위하여 사용성, 몰입감, 만족도의 정량 분석과 학습자 의견에 대한 정성 분석을 수행하였다. 사용성 평가를 위하여 SUS(System Usability Scale)를 활용하였고, 몰입감과 만족도 평가를 위하여 Magnitude Estimation 방법을 활용하였다. 줌과 스페이셜을 활용한 수업에 참여했던 35명이 본 연구의 피실험자로 참여하였다. 줌과 스페이셜에 대한 사용성과 만족도는 줌이 스페이셜보다 유의수준 0.05에서 더 높게 나타났다. 반면 수업에 대한 몰입감은 스페이셜이 줌에 비해 더 높게 나타났다. 학습자들은 줌을 스페이셜보다 더 편하고 만족스럽게 생각하였다. 하지만, 스페이셜은 온라인 강의실 생성과 다양한 학습 기능들을 제공하고 있고, 교수자와 학습자 또는 학습자와 학습자 간의 다양한 인터랙션과 재미요소를 제공하기 때문에 수업에의 몰입도가 높게 나타났다. 향후 스페이셜의 사용자 인터페이스와 인터랙션의 개선이 이루어진다면 대학 수업에서 줌을 대체할 수 있는 효과적인 수업도구로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Objective: The present study was to improve the graphic user interface (GUI) of a military computer-based training (CBT) system in terms of usability. Background: Existing studies have focused on usability evaluation of a particular GUI type such as sequence, hierarchy, or context type; however, few research has been conducted which identifies preferred GUI features based on a comparative analysis of different GUI types. Method: A comparative evaluation was conducted by 9 CBT design experts using a 7-point scale (1: very low, 4: neutral, and 7: very high) on hierarchy and context GUI types of a military CBT system in terms of 10 usability criteria. Then, preferred features of the hierarchy and context types being accommodated, a new GUI was developed and validated by 22 CBT users. Results: While the hierarchy type was found preferred by 1.6 times in terms of controllability to the context type, the opposite was found in terms of attractiveness, simplicity, and responsiveness by 0.6, 0.8, and 0.8 times, respectively. The proposed GUI was found superior to the hierarchy and context types in terms of accessibility and informativeness by more than 1.5 times, but inferior to the hierarchy and context type in terms of simplicity by 0.6 and 0.9 times, respectively. Conclusion: The new GUI developed by accommodating the preferred features of the hierarchy and context types improves usability in terms of accessibility and informativeness except simplicity. Application: The comparative analysis of various GUIs can be applied to develop an improved GUI in a systematic manner based on preferred features of the existing GUIs.
