In this study, effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction of different menu designs were investigated. 24 graduate students voluntarily participated to the study. The results indicate that horizontal menus are more effective than vertical menus in terms of selecting sub menu items, overall task completion time is not related to menu design, horizontal overlapping menu design is the most effective one in terms of preventing user errors. Lastly, user satisfaction doesn't vary according to menu designs.

A sampling methodology for usability testing of consumer products considering individual differences Berkman, Ali Emre; Erbuğ, Çiğdem; Department of Industrial Design (2010) Aim of the study was to discuss and identify individual differences that influence the user performance during usability tests of consumer products that are known to prevent researchers to conduct systematic studies. The rationale behind the study was developing a tool for sampling in order to handle experiential factors as a variable rather than a source of error. The study made it possible to define and elaborate on constructs general interaction expertise (GIE) and general interaction self efficacy (GISE...
The comparison of web and mobile interfaces of a learning management system in terms of perceived aesthetics Kılınç, Nergiz; Delialioğlu, Ömer; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2016) This study aims to inquire the perceived differences in aesthetics of web and mobile interfaces of a Learning Management System (LMS) using an aesthetic measurement inventory named Visual Aesthetics of Websites Inventory (VisAWI) and to further investigate the students’ opinions on the effect of these differences on their learning. The data were gathered from a total of 128 university students from freshmen to senior, studying in Middle East Technical University, Department of Computer Education and Instruc...
A Study on quality assessment on mobile B2C applications Yıldız, Ekrem; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Information Systems (2014) This study aims to provide mechanisms to analyze the quality of the Business to Customer (B2C) mobile software products based on mobile-specific characteristics and quality factors, and sub-factors based on ISO 25010 product quality model which would help mobile software developers, designers and testers to develop more effective mobile applications. We aim to help development of more qualified and effective mobile applications from not only developers’ perspective but also endusers’ perspective. For this p...
An ınvestigation of a complementary feedback model for l2 writing: peer and teacher feedback versus teacher feedback Tokdemir Demirel, Elif; Enginarlar, Hüsnü; Department of English Language Teaching (2009) This study aimed at developing a complementary peer-teacher feedback model, in which students and teachers share the responsibility of providing feedback in a systematic way and testing its effectiveness. The effectiveness of the developed feedback model on improving students’ writing ability was tested in the context of a multiple draft writing course which followed a process approach with 57 preparatory class students at Karadeniz Technical University, Department of English Language and Literature for a p...
A Mobile sensing framework for audience emotion analysis Kepucka, Eldjon; Temizel, Alptekin; Department of Information Systems (2014) The main objective of this thesis is to develop a multi-modal framework which facilitates simple data collection using mobile sensing on smartphones from an audience, for the duration of an experimental study. Current solutions primarily rely on custom mobile sensing platforms which are expensive to develop and complicated to apply. While there are a number of mobile sensing platforms developed for smartphones targeting different domains, such as transportation and air pollution they are not designed to be ...
