Abstract

This paper evaluates the user experience of a microservices-based e-learning platform created for technopreneurship education using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). Microservices present new chances to improve system performance, dependability, and learner involvement when educational systems choose modular and scalable designs. The study presents a benchmarking strategy by contrasting the newly created platform with two extensively utilized commercial platforms, Shopee and Tokopedia, which both use scale microservices. Fifty undergraduates participated in the study and evaluated six fundamental UX dimensions: attractiveness, perspicuity, efficiency, dependability, stimulus, and novelty. Quantitative research shows that the e-learning system works well in terms of pragmatic quality (clarity, efficiency, and reliability) and hedonic quality (stimulus and creativity). Comparatively, in perspicuity and efficiency, T-test comparisons reveal statistically significant benefits of the e-learning platform over Tokopedia; similarly, in stimulation and novelty, over Shopee. These findings imply that the microservices-based design improves emotional involvement and perceived innovation in the learning environment and supports functional performance. The study indicates that tools usually used in commercial environments allow one to assess user experience in education effectively. It also emphasizes how the design of learner-centred digital platforms can be guided by benchmarking against industry systems. The results provide helpful information for teachers trying to match educational technologies with user expectations moulded by actual digital experiences and for e-learning developers.

Abstract

The research examined epistemology in Software Effort Estimation (SEE), focusing on the evaluation methods and metrics used. Accurate estimation of effort is essential to the success of a software project. This study also aims to understand the various methods applied in SEE and how evaluation metrics are applied in this context. The proposed method in the study is to review the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) paper to analyze articles published in reputable international journals. The experimental methodology involves the identification, selection, and in-depth analysis of relevant studies, emphasizing the quality and relevance of existing research. The results show that although many methods are available, the proper selection is still challenging for researchers and practitioners alike. In addition, diverse evaluation metrics reflect the need for a more empirical approach to assessing the effectiveness of applied methods. The conclusions of this study provide significant insights for SEE practice and open up opportunities for further research in this area.

Abstract

This study introduces a clustering-driven adaptive User Experience (UX) architecture for e-learning systems, aligning machine learning segmentation with the 21st-century 4C educational framework (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity). The objective is to dynamically personalize digital learning interactions through a microservices architecture responsive to users' UX profiles. A quantitative survey was conducted involving 50 active users of Shopee and Tokopedia, whose interaction feedback was mapped using the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ). Three unsupervised clustering techniques—KMeans, Agglomerative, and DBSCAN—were compared. KMeans outperformed the others with a silhouette score of 0.157, compared to 0.146 for Agglomerative and −0.017 for DBSCAN, identifying three meaningful clusters representing high, medium, and low UX proficiency. A one-way ANOVA test confirmed statistically significant differences (p 0.01) among the clusters in dimensions such as error clarity, support responsiveness, and user confidence. These UX profiles were then mapped to individualized microservices: Cluster 0 received autonomous content with minimal support, Cluster 1 was offered guided prompts, and Cluster 2 was provided with simplified interfaces and proactive assistance. Each cluster was aligned with specific 4C competencies to ensure pedagogical relevance. The proposed architecture, built with gRPC-based microservices, enabled asynchronous, low-latency personalization based on user cluster membership. The novelty of this research lies in its dual alignment—technological (microservices + machine learning) and educational (4C competency mapping)—to construct a scalable and responsive e-learning environment. The system design, although validated through simulation, demonstrates a practical foundation for future deployment in platforms like Moodle or OpenEdX. By linking behavioral UX clustering to pedagogical intervention strategies, this study offers a model for adaptive, data-informed instructional systems that are both scalable and learner-centered.
