Abstract
Web conferencing software can help workers work remotely and provide them with greater flexibility and autonomy. However, existing web conferencing software faces certain technical, functional, and design-related limitations. These problems lead to a less than ideal user experience and consequently result in a lack of intrinsic motivation on the part of the user. To improve this situation, we conducted a System Literature Review (SLR) to integrate and summarize the principles proposed in the literature and ultimately developed a heuristic design toolkit for web conferencing software based on self-determination theory. This toolkit contains a total of 15 principles corresponding to autonomy, competence and relatedness. Through heuristic and expert evaluations, we verified that the toolkit is effective in identifying problems. Therefore, the results of this research can help designers to develop web conferencing software and evaluate its usability in order to address the usability issues of the software and to satisfy the basic psychological needs of the users, thus enhancing users intrinsic motivation to use the web conferencing software.
期刊介绍:
The quality of software, well-defined interfaces (hardware and software), the process of digitalisation, and accepted standards in these fields are essential for building and exploiting complex computing, communication, multimedia and measuring systems. Standards can simplify the design and construction of individual hardware and software components and help to ensure satisfactory interworking.
Computer Standards & Interfaces is an international journal dealing specifically with these topics.
The journal
• Provides information about activities and progress on the definition of computer standards, software quality, interfaces and methods, at national, European and international levels
• Publishes critical comments on standards and standards activities
• Disseminates user''s experiences and case studies in the application and exploitation of established or emerging standards, interfaces and methods
• Offers a forum for discussion on actual projects, standards, interfaces and methods by recognised experts
• Stimulates relevant research by providing a specialised refereed medium.
