Implications for the Design of Computer-Based Instruction Screens.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Morrison, Gary R.; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1989
Summarizes the results of five studies dealing with screen design for computer-based instruction (CBI) and provides suggestions for their application as well as future directions for research. Chunking, text density, and screen density are discussed as variables in screen design, and current research is described. (33 references) (LRW)

Screen Layout Design: Research into the Overall Appearance of the Screen.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Grabinger, R. Scott – Computers in Human Behavior, 1989
Examines the current state of research into the visual effects of screen designs used in computer-assisted instruction and suggests areas for future efforts. Topics discussed include technical elements and comprehensibility elements in layout design; single element and multiple element research methodologies; dependent variables; and learning…

The Dimensionality and Correlates of Flow in Human-Computer Interactions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Webster, Jane; And Others – Computers in Human Behavior, 1993
Defines playfulness in human-computer interactions in terms of flow theory and explores the dimensionality of the flow concept. Two studies are reported that investigated the factor structure and correlates of flow in human-computer interactions: one examined MBA students using Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet software, and one examined employees using…

An Exploration of Theoretical and Practical Foundations for Assessing Attitudes toward Computers: The Computer Attitude Measure (CAM).
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kay, Robin H. – Computers in Human Behavior, 1993
Describes a theoretically principled Computer Attitude Measure (CAM) incorporating cognitive, affective, behavioral, and perceived control subscales that was tested on 647 preservice teachers. Previous research is reviewed; the effect of context is discussed; and correlations with computer awareness, applied software skill, and programing ability…
