During the COVID-19 pandemic, Institut Teknologi Indonesia (ITI) also employed an e-learning model through the siAkadCloud application. Along the way, problems were encountered when using siAkadCloud, especially by novice users, as no research had been conducted to determine the level of usability of siAkadCloud. This research aims to enhance the usability of siAkadCloud, a specific application utilized by ITI. The research framework is based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and consists of attributes of effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction. The attributes of effectiveness and efficiency are related to the ergonomic display concept. The application's effectiveness and efficiency were measured through Usability Testing. Data collection was conducted using three methods: task tests, questionnaires, and interviews. The research sample comprised two groups of users, namely five skilled users and five novice users. The research took place from April to July 2022. Measuring user satisfaction through the USE Questionnaire yielded the following results (using a Likert scale of 1-5): usefulness (4.16), ease of use (3.82), ease of learning (4.05), and satisfaction (3.41). The average usability value for siAkadCloud was 55.6%, categorized as 'sufficient.' Proposed improvements for siAkadCloud include adding several features, such as a search field, a help button, and the ability to download and print study plans and transcripts. Interface display improvements were made by using a white background and blue and black fonts, enhancing color contrast. These features and display enhancements increased the usability value of the siAkadCloud application to 76.76%, categorized as 'user-friendly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
