Computer Science Department of UiTM Kedah needs to develop a portal that can give interactive session between Computer Science’s Lecturers and their students. From the set of possible behaviour, two different layouts will propose for developing prototype of Computer Science Department Portal which includes online forum chat spot name as Spreader. This research proposed an importance measure that considers which layout most prefer by end-users base on Nielsen's criteria; learnability and user satisfaction.
