In order to serve the on-line users who do shopping for 24 hours, the on-line shopping systems platform is more complicated than traditional one. Therefore, the user interface usability problems become a critical issue. Take the Yahoo!kimo shopping mall as a test platform. In this paper, the data collection method of thinking-aloud was adopted to record the participants. The video images and verbal protocols were transcribed, segmented and bottom-up coded. 121 problems concerning usability could be classified into 9 types. The usability problems can be classified into five attributes by reviewing the related literatures, satisfaction, efficiency, effectiveness, presentation and help. The result shows satisfaction is the most critical problem (accounts for 32.2%). The result of study accords with Nielsen and Norman (2000) study that gives users a good experience and they are apt to turn into frequent and loyal customers [1]. Therefore, we prove the importance of user-center design (UCD) in e-commerce website interface design.
Innovative design-based education is a student-centered approach that aims to nurture students’ proactivity, creativity, and interdisciplinary integrated skills. The curriculum planning of a course in this study incorporated design-based learning with the 4D design process. Three units were planned: field exploration and concept development, 3D wearable creations, and cultural landscape shaping. Each unit was co-taught by an interdisciplinary teacher. By means of teamwork, the students explored agricultural spaces and cultural stories, then used paper materials and mixed media to create wearable creations. Afterward, they visually recorded their unique views of traditional spaces and created cultural landscape images. To elucidate their learning outcomes and creative expression, this study adopted a mixed-methods approach. The results are as follows: (1) The students experienced positive growth in their five core competencies. Their “field-based knowledge” and “skills and technological value” were significantly improved. (2) The five major perspectives of the students pointed out that creativity stems from multicultural symbols, the learning outside-the-classroom approach reinvigorated motivation, more confidence is gained through learning by doing, teamwork can create more possibilities, and discovering one’s other interests is possible through diverse exploratory approaches. (3) The teacher summarized the feasibility of designing and implementing innovative courses under three themes: conversing with methods, conversing with cultures, and conversing with teams.
Abstract-This course through the collaboration of interdisciplinary teachers and experts. Professional techniques from various fields of knowledge were combined to stimulate innovative thinking among the students. The teaching method involved the "double diamond" design process model: Students explored (discover, 1D) the needs of the people, environment, and other items in agricultural areas; defined (define, 2D) problems that could be solved; participated in brainstorming activities to develop (develop, 3D) problem-solving directions and tools; and implemented their ideas and presented (deliver, 4D) their projects. Furthermore, the students were taught to utilize the convenient information and communication technologies (ICTs) that were available during the development of their projects. Not only can it reduce development costs, but it can also speed up development. We found the high-quality agricultural products produced by small farmers were found to have lacked brand and marketing channels; thus, they were unable to attract young people willing into the countryside. Finally, we proposed an innovative model of agricultural marketing: "Customized QR Code Video Marketing linking Mobile Payment Technology". Through the integration of PayPal's mobile payment technology with the customized QR code design and the marketing video upload system. Small farmers can able to easily engage in direct sales, improve the brand identity of their high-quality nontoxic products, and more flexibility reduces cost.Index Terms-Interdisciplinary teaching, 4D teaching method, agricultural marketing.
With the changing population structure, aging of the population becomes a prominent topic that each country attaches great importance to. Many studies have been devoted to delaying the progression of dementia in the elderly, and reminiscence therapy as one of the main non-drug therapies can effectively slow down the deterioration of dementia patients. Most dementia patients remember the past and enjoy talking about their memories. This kind of life review is also a self-help method of repairing progressive brain unresponsiveness. Narration and re-storying is one of the ways to help dementia patients stimulate and restore their memories. Therefore, this study includes observing the reminiscence therapy behavior of dementia patients and caregivers in a day care center at hospital, analyses the existing storytelling system, 185 questionnaires surveyed about old Taiwan are conducted in eight categories to match the reminiscence imagery therapy, then develops the ReStor APP, and plans and implements the design of acceptable technology experiences for dementia patients. The study expects to slow down the mental decline of patient's and fill the memory voids of the elderly and their families. The research developmental the APP that providing reference values for specific elderly user experiences in Taiwan, the images database is used will benefit in providing reference for the design of memory for Taiwan's elderly.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
