“…Some schoolers recently investigated the relationship between expectation and cognitive load ,and the findings show that when users pay lower cognitive effort, the sensory information and expectation confirmation match [49] [50]. Therefor, we propose the following hypotheses:…”

Online learning has been expanding for some time but the forced move to it due to the outbreak of COVID-19 has created new issues. This study set out to investigate the impact mechanism of online learning user satisfaction from the perspective of cognitive load in the era of COVID-19 and explore ways to optimize cognitive load in teaching practice. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for the empirical analysis. The coding process of the interviews yielded several antecedents of cognitive load in the online learning process. We also proposed a theoretical model based on the literature review and data analysis. Findings of the qualitative analysis indicate that the antecedents of cognitive load are multi-dimensional and the user's satisfaction with the online learning platform mainly consists of the expected confirmation of the information system and the perceived usefulness. These findings can help us think backward about optimizing user satisfaction with online learning in the context of COVID-19 breakout.

In the area of broadband wireless Internet, mobile applications have already replaced their desktop equivalents and are recognized as valuable tools for any size of businesses and for private use. With the emergence of millions of apps, the quality of their interaction with the user remains an open question for software vendors. While female and male requirements and preferences are not always similar, to the best of our knowledge, few studies have examined the impact of gender on the perceived usability of mobile applications. Therefore, the goal of this study is to assess their usability from the perspective of female and male users, and to evaluate the differences between them. In our study, based on an experimental setup with a group of 40 users (16 females and 24 males), with regard to three usability attributes, namely efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected, respectively via pre-and post-testing questionnaires and during application testing sessions, combined with the think aloud protocol. To analyze the collected data, descriptive statistics were extracted from the video data and used to calculate the inferential statistics. With a significance level (alpha) of 5%, our findings show that between the groups of females and males, there were no statistically significant differences in the performance accuracy, average completion time, and perceived satisfaction, since all p values are greater than the assumed alpha. Hence, one can conclude that no effect of gender was observed with regard to the usability of the Gmail application. Overall, the empirical results contribute to the ongoing research on mobile application usability by providing evidence-based insights that we believe may be valuable for both theory and practice.

“…To summarize, (Yang et al 2016 (Ghandorh et al 2017;Mladenovic 2019). Considerations on psychological factors when using applications in the reality-virtuality continuum are also being addressed more and more (Ibili and Billinghurst 2019;Hoppenstedt et al 2019). In addition to this, the behavior of mobile users should be generally considered in future for any mobile application (Beierle 2019;Majeed 2019).…”

Mobile applications have garnered a lot of attention in the last years. The computational capabilities of mobile devices are the mainstay to develop completely new application types. The provision of augmented reality experiences on mobile devices paves one alley in this field. For example, in the automotive domain, augmented reality applications are used to experience, inter alia, the interior of a car by moving a mobile device around. The device’s camera then detects interior parts and shows additional information to the customer within the camera view. Another application type that is increasingly utilized is related to the combination of serious games with mobile augmented reality functions. Although the latter combination is promising for many scenarios, technically, it is a complex endeavor. In the AREA (Augmented Reality Engine Application) project, a kernel was implemented that enables location-based mobile augmented reality applications. Importantly, this kernel provides a flexible architecture that fosters the development of individual location-based mobile augmented reality applications. The work at hand shows the flexibility of AREA based on a developed serious game. Furthermore, the algorithm framework and major features of it are presented. As the conclusion of this paper, it is shown that mobile augmented reality applications require high development efforts. Therefore, flexible frameworks like AREA are crucial to develop respective applications in a reasonable time.
