Learning internal representations by error propagation

From the Publisher:
Written by the author of the best-selling HyperText & HyperMedia, this book provides an excellent guide to the methods of usability engineering. Special features: emphasizes cost-effective methods that will help developers improve their user interfaces immediately, shows you how to avoid the four most frequently listed reasons for delay in software projects, provides step-by-step information about which methods to use at various stages during the development life cycle, and offers information on the unique issues relating to informational usability. You do not need to have previous knowledge of usability to implement the methods provided, yet all of the latest research is covered.

Usability Engineering

Usability is not a quality that exists in any real or absolute sense. Perhaps it can be 
best summed up as being a general quality of the appropriateness to a purpose of 
any particular artefact. This notion is neatly summed up by Terry Pratchett in his 
novel Moving Pictures:In just the same way, the usability of any tool or system has to be viewed in terms 
of the context in which it is used, and its appropriateness to that context. With 
particular reference to information systems, this view of usability is reflected in the 
current draft international standard ISO 9241-11 and in the European Community 
ESPRIT project MUSiC (Measuring Usability of Systems in Context) (e.g. Bevan 
et al., 1991). In general, it is impossible to specify the usability of a system (i.e. its 
fitness for purpose) without first defining who are the intended users of the system, 
the tasks those users will perform with it, and the characteristics of the physical, 
organizational and social environment in which it will be used.

Design of Everyday Things

Let's read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd the perception of the visual world to read.

The Perception of the Visual World. By James J. Gibson. U.S.A.: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1950 (George Allen & Unwin, Ltd., London). Price 35s.

User Centered System Design: New Perspectives on Human-Computer Interaction

An overview of the experience of the opening two years of an institution-wide project in introducing electronic voting equipment for lectures is presented. Eight different departments and a wide range of group size (up to 300) saw some use. An important aspect of this is the organizational one of addressing the whole institution, rather than a narrower disciplinary base. The mobility of the equipment, the generality of the educational analysis, and the technical support provided contributed to this. Evaluations of each use identified (formatively) the weakest spots and the most common benefits, and also (summatively) showed that learners almost always saw this as providing a net benefit to them. Various empirical indications support the theoretical view that learning benefits depend upon putting the pedagogy (not the technology) at the focus of attention in each use. Perceived benefits tended to increase as lecturers became more experienced in exploiting the approach. The most promising pedagogical approaches appear to be Interactive Engagement (launching peer discussions), and Contingent Teaching ‐ designing sessions not as fixed scripts but to zero in on using diagnostic questions on the points that the particular audience most needs on this occasion.

Increasing interactivity in lectures using an electronic voting system

Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is concerned with every aspect of the relationship between computers and people (individuals, groups and society). The annual meeting of the British Computer Society's HCI group is recognised as one of the main venues for discussing recent trends and issues. This volume contains refereed papers and reports from the 1994 meeting. A broad range of HCI related topics are covered, including interactive systems development, user interface design, user modelling, tools, hypertext and CSCW. Both research and commercial perspectives are considered, making the book essential for all researchers, designers and manufacturers who need to keep abreast of developments in HCI.

People and Computers

A design rationale for introducing electronic equipment for student interaction in lecture theatres is presented, linking the instructional design to theory. The effectiveness of the equipment for learning depends mostly on what pedagogic method is employed: various alternative types are introduced. Prospective studies are outlined for exploring its use over new ranges of application. Rival views of the concept of interactivity are one way to organise the evaluation of this learning technology.
