Abstract
As swift and significant growth are seen in online learning, this does not rule out the fact that exams have been a constant requirement in institutions, be it in person or online. Exams serve as an integral part in the academic lives of the students, which only makes it imperative for this study to look into the factors that make up the online examination interface facilitated by a commonly used platform: learning management systems (LMS). This study aims to create a set of guidelines which could aid in the process of developing online examination interfaces, which users may view as satisfying and useful. The effectiveness of each design factor’s configurations was tested on the users’ experience, specifically satisfaction and perceived usefulness, interactions effects were examined between these factors, and finally, the moderating effect of openness to experience was assessed on the relationship between the design factors and the user experiences. By integrating personality, this study was able to explore the effect of the design factors on their satisfaction and perceived usefulness and better understand their user experiences that allowed their effects to work or even fail.The configurations examined for timer and alert were countdown timer, rising counter, and traditional clock, and 5 minutes remaining, 15 minutes remaining, and mid-examination, respectively. These were selected based on the general preferences of various students from the literature without taking into account their user characteristics. A none configuration was also tested to determine if its presence was significant in itself. The participants were initially screened prior to the experiment proper as if they were taking an actual online test, which includes observing their location and position via Zoom, as well as ensuring a noise- and distraction- free environment. It was also important that they were willing to undergo the experiment, their perceived internet connection was enough to take online tests, and they were comfortable with the technology being used. Subsequently, an openness to experience personality test was given. The actual experiment involved an online exam that consisted of basic math and English skills questions which was good for 1 hour. The exam already had the timer and alert incorporated depending on the setting assigned to the participant. To cap the whole experiment, the participants ended with a post-survey that would collect their user experiences from the test. Overall, the user experience of 152 participants was observed and analyzed. From the results of the experiment,
