“…AHP is one of the most used multicriteria ranking methods in decision making problems (Erensal & Albayrak, 2004; Ocampo & Seva, 2016). The method is proposed to deal with decision‐making environments in which subjective judgments exist (Elleuch et al, 2014; Yılmaz Kaya & Dağdeviren, 2016). AHP can be used to carry out an integrated analysis of explicit objectives (Beauchamp‐Akatova, 2009).…”

Many governments decided to cancel face‐to‐face teaching and learning activities in schools and universities. They replaced them with online teaching and distance learning activities to prevent the spread of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). Due to this sudden change, students experienced some anthropometric, environmental, and psychosocial difficulties at home during the distance learning process. This study focuses on determining the importance of anthropometric, environmental, and psychosocial factors in the distance learning process during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This study presents main factors and their subfactors affecting ergonomic conditions of university students during distance learning. A novel distance learning ergonomics checklist is proposed based on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration checklists. The data are collected via a questionnaire filled by 100 university students who attend the Ergonomics course online. Then, the integrated methodology includes Voting Analytic Hierarchy Process integrated Pythagorean Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to An Ideal Solution method is adopted to prioritize the factors determined. Thirty‐nine different subfactors are evaluated under five titles, and the most important factors are determined using the proposed methodology. With the results achieved, it is seen that the suggested checklist and proposed methodology can be used by public and private education organizations as a guide for improving their distance learning strategies.

“…In this study, applying the AHP involved the following steps: establishing the structure of the AHP itself; making pairwise comparisons between criteria and elements; calculating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors; and determining the priorities (weights) of criteria. These steps were drawn from prior research (Erensal & Albayrak, 2004; Yılmaz Kaya & Dağdeviren, 2016).…”

Interface design involves large amounts of information and many complex processes. However, existing interface design methods have not addressed the potential to allocate information volume reasonably and effectively. In addition, current usability testing methods do not customize the weights of usability criteria for different displays. This study addresses the problem of too much information in the early stages of interface design and introduces the use of weighted usability criteria for developing different types of the user interface (UI) displays. An information model that can reasonably distribute information to varied interfaces to improve usability is presented. Using the analytic hierarchy process to weight usability criteria according to UI type, the proposed method generates convincing and objective usability test results. It handles the overall processing and effectively distributes information within a reasonable range, allowing designers to improve UI usability levels. Our findings compare the performance of an original interface and an improved interface, resulting in significant differences for both websites and mobile phone apps. This study provides a systematic interface design method enabling developers to use a core set of directions for developing more engaging interfaces and customizing usability criteria according to display type, resulting in more sophisticated and rewarding UI designs.

“…Similarly, every field research process has its occupational hazards. Yilmaz Kaya and Dağdeviren [37] affirm that the equipment selection may follow a universal design (UD) pattern. The UD principles are: Equitable Use;Flexibility;Simple and intuitive use;Provide perceptible information;Error Tolerance;Low physical effort;Appropriate dimensions.…”

The widespread availability of wearable devices is evolving them into cooperative systems. Communication and distribution aspects such as the Internet of Things, Wireless Body Area Networks, and Local Wireless Networks provide the means to develop multi-device platforms. Nevertheless, the field research environment presents a specific feature set, which increases the difficulty in the adoption of this technology. In this text, we review the main aspects of Field Research Gears and Wearable Devices. This review is made aiming to understand how to create cooperative systems based on wearable devices directed to the Field Research Context. For a better understanding, we developed a case study in which we propose a cooperative system architecture and provide validation aspects. For this matter, we provide an overview of a previous device architecture and study an integration proposal.
