“…At this stage it is clear that, exciting though these developments may be, they still have to pass several crucial tests. They include; how best to develop such systems without recreating old mistakes, how to keep costs to acceptable levels, accessibility, usability, personalization, adaptability, adaptivity and acceptability (Adams and Granić, 2007;Adams, 2007b;Granić and Ćukušić, 2007;Adams, Granić & Keates, 2008).…”

“…Second, they may fail to capture the requirements of their intended students and third, they may so easily be functionally exciting but fail to be either usable or accessible. This third point will be developed in more depth later on, but for now it is sufficient to say that technologydriven system solutions can often fail to be relevant, accessible or usable (Adams and Granić, 2007;Adams, 2007b;Granić and Ćukušić, 2007;Adams, Granić & Keates 2008). Earlier sections of this chapter show how accessibility comprises both a complex and a vital issue for designers of e-learning systems to tackle, if their offerings are to be acceptable to their intended users.…”

“…It was almost as if it acted as a background resource that is not always brought to the foreground and, if so, not always appreciated as much as it should. In addition, we also found that, whatever the explanation, user satisfaction could not be assumed to automatically accompany high levels of accessibility and usability and so cannot be taken for granted by developers and other practitioners (Adams, Granić & Keates, 2008). Riva, Vatalaro, Davide and Alcañiz (2001) set out the basic requirements for ambiently intelligent systems as follows.…”

“…For example, are ambient intelligent applications universally accessible? (Adams, Granić & Keates, 2008). These authors evaluated six AmI systems and found an analysis of the accessibility of such systems to be surprisingly more complex than they expected.…”

“…We are moving on from the standard type of website, so that we now see social networking sites [4], avatar based systems [5], digital library portals [6] and semantic websites [7]. The danger is that, paradoxically, some innovative modes of human / system interactions, intended to provide users with new opportunities and so create new markets, may often create new usability and accessibility problems at the same time as they introduce new functions and novelties!…”

Abstract.User acceptance is a high priority for website design and implementation.Two significant, but largely separate, approaches to acceptability are: First, the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) has explored the measurement of technical features of a website to gauge its accessibility. Second, human judgments about acceptability are obtained from intended users or experts. The present work explores the important question of how best to combine these two methods. Experiment One required new users to explore automatic website evaluation systems. They found two of four systems difficult or impossible to use and system outputs difficult to understand. Experiment Two combines formal properties and user judgments, using an automatic system to predict user judgments from formal website properties. A simple system was able to predict user judgments within 91% accuracy. Clearly, user judgments about websites can be predicted reliably, a result of value to designers.

Manufacturing problem solving methodology analytic. A case study of leakage current in a production company

Product end-user and customer satisfaction are critical for the success of organisations. This paper presents a case study of a design company and manufacturing supplier that faces customer complaints due to defective temperature sensors integrated into fridge freezers. This research aims to find the root cause of the issues and implement a solution to the problem and to ensure that prevent its recurrence by implementing the lean eight disciplines methodology as an analytics step: (1) 5 Whys analysis based on cross-functional team finding, (2) problem descriptions confirmation, (3) containment actions, (4) root cause analysis of occurrence, (5) permanent corrective actions, (6) implementation of permanent corrective action, (7) actions to prevent a recurrence, and (8) closure with eight disciplines report and congratulate cross-functional teams from the design, engineering, and suppliers production sites. High-quality product design, development, production processes and manufacturing require a problem-solving framework for the life cycle assessment. This study develops the Eight Disciplines (8D) investigation tool for cross-functional teams, internal and external work together to solve issues to improve the product life cycle in the field. Shows how to conduct root cause investigation analysis of issues with five whys of the problems for crucial processes. If necessary, integrate the 8D, and Six Sigma approaches to identify answers. It enables corrective and preventive actions and customer reports with executed fixes and measures timelines to prevent similar issues from recurring in businesses. This study deals with product managers and practitioners of manufacturing and product design companies using the 8D analytics tool and framework to solve problems for quality improvements throughout the life cycle of products. For manufacturing problem-solving, use 8D tool analytical challenges (e.g., high warranty cost, high production failures, the unreliability of products, resources, and different scopes) and opportunities (e.g., to solve product issues, improve production processes, and reduce warranty cost). In this case study, a circuit is susceptible to leakage current, cleaning all components following solder assembly. Specific solvents are needed to effectively clean boards because "no-clean" solder flux is used, which does not require cleaning. Therefore, different flux chemistry is necessary for this situation, which can be cleaned using a water-based solvent as a long-term fix, as revealed by the 8D analytics template.
