Abstract

Perkembangan perangkat komputer saat ini semakin banyak digunakan dari berbagai kalangan yang ada termasuk ke dalam kalangan remaja. Perkembangan tersebut juga berkembang terhadap jenis, harga dan spesifikasi perangkat yang digunakan. Namun, hal ini memunculkan masalah baru seperti gimana cara memperbaikinya, gimana cara menyatukannya, dan jenis komponen perangkat yang diperlukan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pelatihan merakit Personal Computer (PC). Adapun proses pelatihan ini dilaksanakan terhadap siswa/i SMK Swasta Methodist Tanjung Morawa. Berdasarkan hasil pre-test awal yang diberikan terdapat sekitar 78% peserta masih belum mengetahui bagaimana cara merakit komputer yang baik. Setelah proses pembagian pre-test dilaksanakan, dilakukan proses penjelasan materi terkait komponen yang terdapat di dalam komputer. Setelah itu, dilanjutkan kepada proses merakit PC disertai dengan pemasangan sistem operasi. Pada akhir pelatihan diberikan kembali post-test untuk mengukur hasil pelatihan yang telah dilakukan. Dari hasil post-test tersebut terlihat terjadinya proses peningkatkan pemahaman peserta pelatihan yang diberikan.

Abstract

The rapid growth of mobile computing applications has intensified the need for effective Human Computer Interaction design to ensure high usability and positive user experience. Mobile applications are used in diverse contexts characterized by limited screen space, touch-based interaction, and frequent interruptions, making usability a critical determinant of system acceptance and sustained use. This study aims to examine how Human Computer Interaction design principles contribute to enhancing usability in mobile computing applications. The research employed a mixed-methods approach combining usability testing, standardized usability questionnaires, and qualitative user interviews to capture both performance-based and perceptual usability outcomes. Quantitative data focused on task completion time, error rates, task success, and perceived usability, while qualitative data explored user interaction experiences and design-related challenges. The results indicate that mobile applications designed with clear navigation structures, consistent visual elements, and effective feedback mechanisms demonstrate significantly higher usability scores, faster task completion, and lower error frequency. Qualitative findings further reveal increased user confidence, reduced cognitive load, and higher satisfaction when interacting with well-designed interfaces. The study concludes that Human Computer Interaction design plays a central role in enhancing usability in mobile computing applications. Systematic integration of user-centered design principles throughout the development process is essential for creating efficient, effective, and satisfying mobile applications across various domains.

Abstract

Competition in the digital market requires Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to consistently produce attractive, persuasive, and high-quality marketing content . MSMEs at the village and regional levels, such as community service partners in West Java, Central Java, East Java, and Medan (North Sumatra) , face major obstacles in the form of limited human resources and copywriting and design skills, which results in stagnant sales quantities. This community service research aims to address these gaps through Socialization and Hands-on Training on the Utilization of Generative Artificial Intelligence Technology (Meta AI) . The training program focuses on the practical application of Meta AI for brainstorming content ideas, drafting effective promotional narratives, and optimizing customer chatbot strategies . The implementation method involves (1) Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to map the specific needs of MSMEs in each location, (2) Intensive training for 10 days, and (3) Mentoring and practical evaluation for two months. Post-training evaluation results showed a dramatic increase in the variety and quality of digital marketing content produced, supported by an 18% increase in average sales volume for MSMEs actively implementing the AI ​​tools . This success confirms that easily accessible AI adoption is a crucial strategy for increasing the competitiveness of regional MSMEs and accelerating digital economic inclusion.

Abstract

This study was conducted to see the extent of user experience (User Experience) and user engagement (User Engagement) on the AstraPay digital wallet application, considering that these two things are important keys that determine the success and sustainability of a digital application in the eyes of its users, where user experience is measured using the User Experience Questionnaire Plus (UEQ+) and user engagement is measured through the User Engagement Scale (UES), through a quantitative approach by distributing online questionnaires to 405 AstraPay users in Indonesia whose data is then analyzed using validity and reliability tests, calculating the average for each scale, Spearman correlation tests, to simple linear regression. The results, all UEQ+ scales show positive evaluations with Usefulness and Clarity recording the highest scores, while in the UES the Aesthetic Elements and Reward Factor scales performed very well, while Perceived Usability is the aspect with the lowest score. Regression analysis shows a determination coefficient value of R² = 0.251 with a regression coefficient B = 0.275 (p < 0.001), so that user experience has a positive and significant effect on user engagement, which means that the better the quality of experience perceived by users, the higher their level of engagement with the AstraPay application
