| Summary: | 碩士 === 世新大學 === 資訊傳播學研究所(含碩專班) === 96 === Wikipedia is a well-known free online encyclopedia, it bese on collaboratively by Internet users. However, researchers discerned the Inequality of Contributions situation in the Wikipedia(also Zh-Wikipedia).Some reports responded it was probably related to the unusable interface design.
As these results, we attempt to introduce the beneficial method User-testing, and take it to evaluate the Usability of Zh-Wikipedia’s Interface, and find out its inappropriate design.These researsh mainly aims at evaluation the interface usability of Zh_Wikipedia website.First explors the users’ past website with different interaction experiences. Furthermore, we sets up the experiments with the typical tasks and the questionnaire. And then, the users were asked to carry out the typical tasks in order to find out the problems of the website interface designing.According to those invesitigation results above, we will make some adjustments and design a meliorative prototype refer to some basic usability design principles for the Zh_Wikipedia interface designer.
Outcomes of this research are as follows:1.From interviewing data,we find the usability cognition ,which form the users’ statement are including: the key element is putting the visual esthetic perceptions , setting up a clear description of errors and notice, regular management and renewal, multimedia supporting ability, provides the simply interaction way, creativity design and to avoide the baldly inappropriate design. 2. From the process of operation testing, we can explored the novice users, who just can't interaction with the interface of the Zh_Wikipedia by their instinct. Moreover, The Expert users will meet the obstacle from the wrong design of the interface, too .3.We can find out the usability problems of the Zh_Wikipedia interface problems from the analysis of the data as below : user be confused on the incongruous interface name , the item is too tiny and not clear, insufficient and immediately for hint message and chat box, the name of the interface is not fit the function and so on. These usability problems have led to more obvious obstacles of operating and using. We will make the propositional prototyping in the chapter five of this paper, which might be a reference for rebuilding the web.
