Jaison A Manjaly
Assistant Professor
Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar
IIT Gandhinagar
NKN experience in IIT Gandhinagar Lack of consensus and clarity on the design of a virtual
class room, pedagogy, virtual knowledge dissemination, collaboration etc.
Opinion of faculty and students who have been using the
NKN facility
Urgency for an Indian specific model
NME-ICT vision document
IIT Gandhinagar
The way humans relate to the world around them with the aim of improving operational performance and system utility
Human Factors discovers and applies information about human behavior, abilities, limitations, and other characteristics to the design of technology, tools, machines, systems, tasks, jobs, and environments for productive, safe, comfortable, and effective human use
IIT Gandhinagar
Psycho-social-cultural-behavioral-cognitive aspects in transmission and reception of knowledge
Organizational dimensions of beneficiaries
Pedagogical issues in education through communication
and information technologies
Design of virtual learning and communication system
Indian context specific issues
Human-technology and human-computer interaction
IIT Gandhinagar
End user variables Indirect: Aptitudes, Attitudes, Decision style Direct: Training, Device experience, Level of end-user involvement Decision setting: Management level supported, Uncertainty,
Timeliness, Structuredness, Environmental considerations
Interface characteristics Content, Form, Presentation, Media, Context, Performance aspects
Performance aspects Decision effectiveness: Accuracy, Timeliness, Quality, Perceived
confidence Satisfaction Learning: Ease, Time System responsiveness Speed of usage Number of errors made
IIT Gandhinagar
To advance the state of the art and develop standards for human factors variables
To develop principled and robust user interfaces To develop a generalized framework and methodology for human
factor evaluation To develop a new pedagogical framework which is sensitive to
human factors To devise strategies to address the psychological, social, cultural,
behavioral and cognitive facts of end users
IIT Gandhinagar
Cognitive walk through Field observation Focus groups Interviews Logging actual user Proactive field study Feature inspection Heuristic evaluation
IIT Gandhinagar
For effective human-technology and human-machine
interaction
To improve the quality of virtual class rooms and virtual
teaching styles To effectively design the environment for virtual learning
and communication
Facilitate human-centered design
