The present research has evaluated the accessibility capabilities of the user interface environment of virtual teaching systems

The research is of an applied type, which was carried out by a survey method of the type of revelatory evaluation. The statistical population is six virtual & real time teaching systems "Adobe Connect, sky room, Skype, Big Blue Button, Google Meet, Gharar". The research tool is the localized evaluation list corresponding to the virtual teaching systems inside the country in accordance with the evaluation indicators listed in ISO 9241, which indicators have been identified and prioritized using B.W.M. In order to answer the research questions, descriptive statistics and Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) model decision making method were used. In this method, the points obtained from the evaluation of each software in each index were multiplied by the B.W.M. weighting coefficient determined for each index and based on the result, the user interface environment of the virtual teaching systems was compared with each other in terms of accessibility features. The research hypotheses were examined through the Kruskal-Walli’s test.

After examining the accessibility features of the user interface of the studied virtual teaching systems, it was determined that Skype, Adobe Connect, Big Blue Button, Sky room, google Meet, respectively, and according to the features related to the accessibility has been ranked first to sixth. No significant difference was observed between of compliance with the evaluation indicators of the accessibility capabilities of the interaction environment (user interface) of the virtual education systems in four general indicators in the systems. The highest mean of compliance with the level of accessibility related to pointer tools and compatibility with assistive technologies and the lowest mean of compliance with the level of accessibility related to keyboard input were detected in the studied community

By using the findings of the present research, we can get a clear vision of the existing reality of the possibilities of virtual teaching systems. The findings of the present research are a guide for the selection and use of the mentioned systems for teachers, officials and managers of education centers. Therefore, conducting this research is necessary to explain the future horizons and it is hoped that it will have a significant contribution to improve the virtual education situation in the IRAN and the results of the research findings can be effective in improving the accessibility of these systems and educational institutions.

The purpose of the study is to explain the hand movement ability to interact with the user interface of websites.

 This research is an applied research. The research method is qualitative. The population studied in this research is library resources including 2 books and 14 articles, which were selected and used by available sampling method until theoretical saturation. The method of data analysis using source analysis is analogous to the coding method. The collected data has been analyzed with MaxQDA software. 

Based on the findings, 18 features and 3 basic concepts were extracted from the analysis of 9 propositions. Individual concept (7 features of ease of use, satisfaction, user-friendliness, low cost, tendency to use more, adaptability, psychological control), functional concept (9 features of usefulness, recognition of interaction, understanding ability, computer processing capability, performance coverage necessary for data recovery, minimal need for hardware devices, the ability to be used on the same level as interface equipment, input of movement commands, the ability to recognize hands) and the concept of support (2 features of support programs in the computer for better interaction, optimizing the relationship between processes Cognitive and physical user).

The ability to move the hand is one of the great points and the ability to interact with the user interface of websites, which is symmetrical with the eye ability to interact with the user interface of websites, it has the ability to design and study more deeply inside the country. Noticing huge capacity of information, needs of users, acceleration in getting comprehensive and useful information in Iran, effective hand mobility to interact with intermediate users of websites have always been valuable and noticeable to be designed by experts.

The user interface is the first point of contact with a website. If the content of the website, especially its textual and graphic symbols, does not match with the ability of users to comprehend it, they will probably leave the website. This research has measured comprehensibility of the textual and graphic symbols used in the user interface of a portal designed for children and young adults.

The statistical population included 600 children and adolescents active members in three centers belong to the Institute for Intellectual Development for Children and Adolescents (IDCA) in Birjand (Iran). A randomly selected sample of 115 through a non-relative stratified method answered the researcher-made questionnaire, prepared after examining theoretical and research literature as well as examining user interface environments of children's portals. In the present study, the standard vocabulary of IDCA thesaurus was used to prepare a text-by-text questionnaire. The portal examined was “koodak24”.

The ability of children and adolescents to identify the textual and graphic symbols of the child portal was more than optimal. But their ability to combine symbols was variable (the significance level in the above test is equal to the value of 0.000 and smaller than the value of 0.05). Also, there was a difference in identifying textual and graphic symbols between different age groups (P<0.05). There is a significant difference between the two age groups (10 to 12) and (14 to 16) years, and the average ability to identify graphical symbols of the user interface in the age group of 10 to 12 years is 71.82 and this average in the age group of 14 to 16 years is 76. there was no difference between the ability of girls and boys to identify textual and graphic symbols.

The words used in the portal for children and adolescent are simple, understandable and standard. If the mental and cognitive abilities of children and teenagers as well as their needs are taken into account in designing the user interface, it will be easy and attractive for children and adolescent to identify the graphical and textual symbols of the user interface and use different parts of websites.

Since information search behaviors are a reflection of the needs of users, it is important to identify and understand them in the design of the proper user interface. Therefore, the purpose is to determine the level support for environment of the user interface of databases from the Meho and Tibbo model.

This is an applied research. The method was performed using Webometrics with an Heuristic Evaluation Method. The statistical population consisted of 100 Ph.D. students of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences and a census sampling method. Data Collection tools the check list consists of four elements derived from the Meho and Tibbo model.

showed, Support the user interface for the Science direct and Clinical Key databases in Meho and Tibbo model is higher than the average (2.08, 07.07) (2).The interface environment support for the Sprinter has been reported to be modest (2/01) and the Wiley is less than average (1.79). The ranking of the support these Databases from the model showed that, the Databases Science Direct, Clinical key, Springer, and Wiley won the first to fourth place with a score of 2.91, 2.84, 2.55, 1.71., the database user interface support for the Meho and Tibbo models is moderate.

the use of these elements in the design of the interface environment can have a great impact on the optimization of the interface of the database.

The purpose of this study is to determine the role of digital information management on user research variables from the perspective of users using electronic and digital information, especially in the Rahbari Asil website.

The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of survey method. The statistical population includes 50 users of Rahbari Asil website, who were selected as an available sample by simple non-random method and The researcher-made questionnaire with 30 questions was distributed among them and finally 44 questionnaires were collected. To evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used, which is equal to 0.937. In order to assess the validity of the questionnaire using the internal consistency method of construct validity, the results of correlation coefficient between each of the component questions were significant at an error level of less than 0.01, which indicates that the questionnaire has a high construct validity. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used and in the inferential section (univariate t-test) using SPSS software.

From the end users' point of view, digital information management has six components of customer satisfaction (64%), brand loyalty (61%), service quality (64%), relationship commitment (63%), willingness to buy (62%) and also, the customer's mental image (61%) played a large role.

The role of digital information management on user research from the perspective of end users is significantly higher than average and digital information management has played a large role (63%) on user research.

The aim of this research is to consider the most important criteria of user interface of Digital Libraries providers' services to the blind and visually impaired from standpoint Blind digital librarians.

A researcher-constructed questionnaire was used for the survey. It was administered to Blind digital librarians currently employed by the blind digital libraries in Iran.

Results of the study showed that ''different formats of library resources" and "Ability of organizing the screen" in sequence gained the highest and lowest score. Although the difference among of criteria's were low and according to the Delphi panel using them in the design of digital Libraries providers' services to the visually impaired user interface offered. It was hope that the results of this study could present needed features and their importance in designing in digital Libraries providers' services to the blind and visually impaired user interface. On the other hand, it could be used as a tool for the determination of capabilities of digital Libraries providers' services to the visually impaired user interface from librarians, experts and their user's opinion.

This study aims to examine the UI of 13 web-based Scientific social Networks in
order to determine their conformity with the general and specific User interface criteria.

The user interface has been evaluated by using a checklist (including 12
criteria and 93 components). The research community consists of thirteen social Science
networks.

Based on the mean scores obtained from the general user interface criteria,
it seems that the scientific social network of Eaglei has the highest score, and the Sciencv and
PubMed are respectively ranked the second and third place among these scientific social
networks. Research gate has gained the highest score in matching Scientific social networks
with specialized criteria, and Citeulike and Growkudos are respectively ranked the second
and third.

The results of the research show that scientific social networks have a
very much proper status in terms of adherence to the general criteria and components.
However, in accordance with the specialized User interface criteria and components, it is
possible to imagine a good situation for scientific social networks.

Perception of icons is one of the most important elements of graphical user interface in information systems that is affected by personal and environmental factors, including user's mental models. The present study tended to investigate factors affecting on the user's mental models of icons in digital library software. This is an applied research using qualitive and quantitive approach. Gathering data tool in quantitive section is researcher-made questionnaire and in qualitive section is semi-structured interview. The participants consisted of B.A. and M.A. students of knowledge and information science in Shiraz University and Shiraz University of Medical Sciences and Shiraz University librarians, 174 persons. According to the results, " experience", "icon's functions", "external characteristics of icon", and "context" are four main categories affecting on user's mental models of icons. "Experience" includes user's former familiarity and experience and " icon's functions " includes compatibility of icon function with its picture, referring the icon to unknown and uncommon function rather than common function, common function in different applications and special functions of some of icons. " appearance characteristic of icons" includes color, size, clarity, context and complexity of icon. It hasn’t been any research that investigate factors affecting on user's mental models of icons in digital library software. Recognition of factors affecting on user's mental models can help digital library software designers to design the icons that have more consonancy with users’ mental models and eventually provide users satisfaction.
