Analisis Antarmuka VClass Universitas Lampung: Evaluasi Prinsip Heuristik dan Eksplorasi Kebutuhan Sistem Pengingat Batas Waktu Tugas
Abstract
This study examines the VClass interface of the University of Lampung from two interrelated perspectives: first, evaluating the suitability of the interface design with the principle of system status visibility (one of Nielsen's 10 heuristic principles); second, exploring and formulating the features needed for an effective assignment deadline reminder system. The background of the study stems from the phenomenon where 45% of students admitted to being "sometimes" late in submitting assignments, while 40% stated "rarely," indicating that the problem of lateness is not caused by pure negligence, but by deficiencies in information design on the platform. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach with a questionnaire instrument based on a Likert scale of 1–5 distributed to 20 Information Technology Education students of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Lampung. The results of the heuristic evaluation showed that the average system visibility score only reached 3.43 out of 5.00 (moderate category), with critical points being the deadline list feature on the main page (M=2.90) and the clarity of the deadline under the assignment title (M=3.00). The needs analysis revealed that respondents strongly needed automatic H-3/H-1/H-0 notifications (M=4.16), a centralized widget across courses (M=4.10), and general system improvements (M=4.30). The contribution of this research is a structured needs analysis document that can be a reference for developers in redesigning the VClass deadline reminder system to be more proactive, contextual, and integrated.
