Abstract
• Responsive design allows users to benefit from
the web page without having to worry about
screen size and resolution. The aim of this
study is to investigate the effect of responsive
design on usability.
Motivation and Objective
• What are the effects of coronavirus on education?
• What is the relationship between students’
demographics and the usability of the academic
websites?
• How is the relationship among usability dimensions?
• What is the relationship between responsive design
and usability?
• What are the effects of responsive and usable
academic websites in the pandemic?
Introduction
• Due to the evolution of techniques and communication devices in
the past decade, anyone can easily surf around the web using a PC,
mobile phone, tablet, television, game console, etc. All these
devices have the ability to access to the internet, and have their
own screen dimensions and use different resolutions. Hence web
designers should take care that the content of their website is
readable and functional on all these resolutions.
• Many students in the world are not going to school because of
coronavirus (COVID-19) disease. This has been a disruption in the
education of millions of students (Unesco, 2020). In order for
students to perform education from their own mobile devices or
computers off-campus, websites must be designed to be
compatible with the screens used.
