Abstract

This research's primary objective is to investigate the educational potential by investigating the metaverse website, emphasizing from users' perspectives. It is critical to examine the functionality to identify any potential faults in the learning experience because of the complexities of metaverse apps, which include 3D virtual environments and complex interactions. This study uses heuristic evaluation, which is a useful method for analyzing application success by utilizing well-established design principles and best practices in user interface and user experience design. To conduct this study, a panel of five experts, each with outstanding competence in the topic, was assembled to test the metaverse website in an educational setting. The evaluation was built on the ten heuristic evaluation standards, which served as a solid framework for measuring its usability and functionality. According to the findings of this examination, the average severity number of heuristic issues is one. This result indicates that the website is under "cosmetic problems only." While this implies that specific areas need to be addressed to improve overall quality, it also means that these difficulties do not take precedence over other vital ones. As a result, the website has significant promise as a metaverse instructional platform, and changes can be made to further improve its efficiency.

Abstract

The rapid growth of social media has intensified users’ exposure to large volumes of information, increasing the risk of perceived information overload. While prior studies have primarily examined this phenomenon using explanatory models, limited attention has been given to its prediction. This study aims to predict perceived information overload from social media use using a machine learning approach. Data were collected through a survey of 349 university students in Malaysian higher education institutions. Social media use across multiple platforms was used as input features, while perceived information overload was treated as a binary target variable. Several machine learning algorithms were evaluated, including decision tree, random forest, k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, neural network, naïve Bayes, and logistic regression. The results indicate that social media usage patterns contain predictive value for identifying information overload, with the support vector machine demonstrating the strongest discriminative performance. The study contributes to the literature by complementing existing explanatory research with a predictive perspective and highlights the potential of machine learning techniques for early identification of information overload in social media environments.
