    INTRODUCTION

    Background of the Study

    Website is a connected group of pages on the World Wide Web regarded as a

    single entity, usually maintained by one person or organization and devoted to a single

    topic or several closely related topics (American Heritage Science Dictionary, 2002).

    The Internet and the World Wide Web surely will be listed among the most

    important and profound creations of human kind. Today, applications can be written to

    communicate with hundreds of millions of computers. The internet mixes computing to

    communications technologies. It makes work easier. It makes information instantly and

    conveniently accessible World Wide Web.

    There are many varieties of websites, each specializing in a particular type of

    content or use. In order to attract the attention of the users, the website must meet and

    give their expectations.

    Website effectiveness is when both the users and owners achieve their goals for

    the site. For the users, normally some kind of sequence is involved. Users must know

    about the site, then they find the site on the web, then they find the page they want, with

    the information they want. The website effectiveness can be evaluated by its criteria,

    including first impression, navigation, content and user satisfaction (List, 2006).

    Website Usability is the ease with which visitors are able to use a website. It is

    not just about making sure everything on the site works, but how quickly and easily

    prospective parent that a school is committed to achieving Government targets for getting

    students connected to the National Grid for Learning (Robinson, 2004).

    Schools are now putting up their own websites but they have yet to effectively

    utilize this technology to bring real benefits to their audience: students, parents, teachers,

    and school officials. A school website can be used for other than education means, school

    website can include information on the community and build links between businesses,

    families, and the schools (Moreno, 2008).

    Thus, by using website, there are also some problems that the schools and

    businesses encountered. Since, every business is unique, there will be no universal

    consensus on the exact priority of damage control measures required to correct or avoid

    self destructive business website problems. Site navigation, a common visitor complaint

    about most poorly designed schools or business website. Visitors will quickly leave a

    website when they cannot find the information that they came for. Information mistakes,

    focusing detailed information about specific aspects of the business on specific website

    will provide valuable information to each visitor. Each visitor is searching for specific

    answers to specific questions. Accessibility mistakes, an accessible website design is

    simply following the goals of the World Wide Web. Although information on every

    website should be fully accessible to people with disabilities, most website designers

    ignore this important website component. Slow web servers, this results in very sporadic

    performance based on the activity of other sites. Broken Links, if the site has non-

    functioning links, this causes problem (McLaughlin, 2010).

    On the other hand, the University of Sheffield, UK is using a website where it

    serves as a key method for communicating and engaging with a wide external audience

    including potential students, partners and members of their community. Their goal is to

    provide information, documents, and resources to school officials, to survey school

    officials on various issues and topics in education and provide polling reports, to inform

    school officials regarding the quality and opinions of school products and services, and to

    allow school officials to communicate with each other in a professional chat room format.

    In the Philippines, almost all universities have websites. They build a website for

    educational information for their students, employees and for other visitors of the site.

    At present, Colegio de Dagupan is using a website (www.cdd.edu.ph) used by

    students and employees for searching necessary information and activities of the school.

    According to Engr. Bon Bryan D. Velasco, MIS Administrator of Colegio de

    Dagupan, there are some problems encountered by the Colegio de Dagupan website. This

    includes, unable to upload files due to server error, security, Internet connection, server

    maintenance, low bandwidth, network traffic, naming convention of files, and file

    management.

    From the researchers perspective, Colegio de Dagupan website and other

    business or school websites have the same problem. Therefore, the researchers have come

    up with this study entitled Usability of Colegio de Dagupan Website to determine the

    users evaluation regarding the website of Colegio de Dagupan.

    REVIEW OF LITERATURE

    Website

    A website is a collection of web pages (documents that are accessed through the

    Internet), such as the one you're looking at now. Generally, people look at websites for

    two primary reasons: To find information they need, and to complete a task. A website is

    a means of communication, and it is only successful when its message is received by the

    intended user (Web Hosting Information, 2010).

    Dela Rosa (2001), A Web site is a related collection of World Wide Web

    (WWW) files that includes a beginning file called a home page. A company or an

    individual tells you how to get to their Web site by giving you the address of their home

    page. From the home page, you can get to all the other pages on their site. Since site

    implies a geographic place, a Web site can be confused with a Web server. A server is a

    computer that holds the files for one or more sites. A very large Web site may be spread

    over a number of servers in different geographic locations.

    Management Centre International Limited (MCIL) (2003), Effective websites

    generate an environment that is logical and does not confuse the user. A site with

    excellent content and facilities will be wasted if the user cannot find and access the

    information or facilities that they want.

    Website Usability

    Bevan (2001)s article, "Usability: the extent to which a product can be used by

    specified users to achieve a specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction

    in a specified context of use".Usability: a set of attributes that bear on the effort needed

    for use, and on the individual assessment of such use, by a stated or implied set of users.

    Millions of Web sites offer users information, goods, services, and entertainment.

    But many of these sites are difficult to use, do not work properly, and ultimately do not

    attract or keep users. By following a usability engineering process, users' abilities to find

    information and satisfaction with Web sites improve significantly. Usability measures the

    quality of a user's experience when interacting with a product or system-whether a Web

    site, a software application, mobile technology, or any user-operated device. In general, it

    refers to how well users can learn and use a product to achieve their goals and how

    satisfied they are with that process. Usability is typically measured by conducting

    usability testing. There are several measures of usability, including: effectiveness,

    efficiency, and satisfaction (Website Usability, 2010).

    Web usability is the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction with which users

    can achieve tasks on a Web site. It incorporates many aspects including functionality,

    structure, information architecture and content. These all affect the ease in which a Web

    site can be used by its intended audience. Users look for a Web site that is easy to learn,

    easy to use and that helps them achieve their defined goals. It is crucial to the success of a

    Web site for the user to regard your Web site as a positive experience that meets their

    needs (Usability Process, 2008).

    Usability Measures

    Bevan and Macleod (2007), Choosing usability measures a description of the

    quality of use should consist of appropriate measures of user performance (effectiveness

    and efficiency), and of user satisfaction. Because the relative importance of components

    of usability depends on the context of use and the purposes for which usability is being

    described, there is no general rule for how measures can be combined. It is normally

    necessary to provide at least one measure for each of the components of quality of use,

    and it will often be necessary to repeat measures in several different contexts. Measures

    of effectiveness relate the goals or sub-goals of using the system to the accuracy and

    completeness with which these goals can be achieved. Measures of efficiency relate the

    level of effectiveness achieved to the expenditure of resources. The resources may be

    mental or physical effort, which can be used to give measures of human efficiency, or

    time, which can be used to give a measure of temporal efficiency or financial cost, which

    can be used to give a measure of economic efficiency. Measures of satisfaction describe

    the perceived usability of the overall system by its users and the acceptability to the

    system to the people who use it and to other people affected by its use. Measures of

    satisfaction may relate to specific aspects of the system or may be measures of

    satisfaction with the overall system.

    Extent of Usability

    Travis (2005), Usability is the extent to which a product can be used by specified

    users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction in a

    specified context of use. Note the three components in this definition: Effectiveness,

  • 8/6/2019 Usability of CDD Website

    13/43

    13

    Usability of Colegio de Dagupan Website

    Efficiency, and Satisfaction. Effectiveness is the accuracy and completeness with which

    customers achieve their goals. Efficiency is the accuracy and completeness of goals

    achieved in relation to resources. To come up with an efficiency rating, it needs to

    measure how long people take to complete the task. Satisfaction is the freedom from

    discomfort and positive attitudes toward the use of the system. Measures of satisfaction

    are then taken using a questionnaire.

    Usability is the extent to which users can access the functionality of a system with

    effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction to achieve specific goals. Employing

    user/human-centered design processes helps ensure that products or systems are highly

    usable and meet users' needs. These processes emphasize and utilize the user perspective

    throughout design, development, and test. Effectiveness is the degree to which a system

    fulfills its intended purpose and supports its users by enabling accurate and complete task

    performance. Efficiency is the resources expended by a system's users in achieving

    accurate and complete task performance. Satisfaction is the user's perceived acceptability

    of the system (Usability, 2007).

    Usability Testing

    Usability testing measures the suitability of the software for its users, and is

    directed at measuring the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction with which specified

    users can achieve specified goals in particular environments or contexts of

    use. Effectiveness is the capability of the software product to enable users to achieve

    specified goals with accuracy and completeness in a specified context of use. Efficiency

    is the capability of the product to enable users to expend appropriate amounts of

  • 8/6/2019 Usability of CDD Website

    14/43

    14

    Usability of Colegio de Dagupan Website

    resources in relation to the effectiveness achieved in a specified context of

    use. Satisfaction is the capability of the software product to satisfy users in a specified

    context of use (Usability guidelines, 2006).

    VNET5 (2001), Evaluation of user satisfaction aim to discover what people think

    and feel about using a website, to assess the perceived quality of use. It is based on

    asking people to share their experiences and opinions, usually in as structured way by

    responding to specific spoken or written questions.

    This literature will serve as a guide and supporting information of the researchers

    to the study Usability of Colegio de Dagupan Website.

    METHODOLOGY

    Research Design

    The researchers used descriptive-survey. Descriptive research answers the

    questions what, when, where, who and how. It often the best approach is to conduct a

    survey investigation. Descriptive survey is a method that deals with everything that can

    be counted and studied. It is used for frequencies, averages, and other statistical

    calculations (Trochim, W.M.K, 2006).

    Survey usually used to find the fact by collecting the data directly from

    population or sample describe the nature of existing condition or look forward the

    standards against existing condition or determine the relationship that exists between

    specific events. It uses various tools to collect the data from population or samples. They

    are ranging from observation, interview to questionnaire (Survey Research, 2008).

    This method was deemed appropriate, since the study will only describe the

    usability of Colegio de Dagupan website by conducting a survey from its users the

    students and employees of the school.

    Sources of Data

    There are one hundred (100) respondents of this study, fifty (50) students and fifty

    (50) employees regarding the study usability of Colegio de Dagupan website. The

    researchers will use a statistical technique which is the stratified sampling. It is the

  • 8/6/2019 Usability of CDD Website

    16/43

    16

    Usability of Colegio de Dagupan Website

    process of grouping members of the population into relatively homogeneous subgroups

    before sampling (Stratified Sampling, 2004).

    Instrumentation and Data Collection

    The questionnaire will be distributed by the researchers among the one hundred

    (100) respondents of Colegio de Dagupan, from school year of 2010 to 2011 to evaluate

    the usability of Colegio de Dagupan website. It has the advantages of being inexpensive,

    require no testing equipment, and results reflect the users opinions. When written

    carefully and given to actual users who have experience with the system and knowledge

    of design, surveys provide useful feedback on the strong and weak areas on the usability

    of a design. The distribution of questionnaires will be done personally by the researchers.

    The contents of the questionnaire will be the measures of usability: effectiveness,

    efficiency, and satisfaction, and the significant difference on the extents of usability of

    Colegio de Dagupan website as perceived by students and employees. Five instructors of

    different Universities in Pangasinan will validate the questionnaire.

    The following scale was used to evaluate the usability of Colegio de Dagupan

    website.
