Therefore a usability testing is performed to evaluate the usability of the mobile help desk system based on Shackel’s model that focus on four usability factors; effectiveness, learnability, flexibility and attitude.

They also felt satisfied after using the system. From the study, we also found that students acceptance toward the mobile help desk system is most highly in positive level. The gender and online help desk experience do not influence their acceptance. This is because most of them are exposed to the information and communication technology. Overall, the development and implementation of mobile help desk system benefit students and contribute some significance to the faculty and university.
