Lauer, Claire; McLeod, Michael; Blythe, Stuart – Written Communication, 2013
In this article we propose a "Janus-faced" approach to survey design--an approach that encourages researchers to consider how they can design and implement surveys more effectively using the latest web and database tools. Specifically, this approach encourages researchers to look two ways at once; attending to both the survey interface…

McDougall, Sine; Tyrer, Victoria; Folkard, Simon – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Applied, 2006
Searching for icons, symbols, or signs is an integral part of tasks involving computer or radar displays, head-up displays in aircraft, or attending to road traffic signs. Icons therefore need to be designed to optimize search times, taking into account the factors likely to slow down visual search. Three factors likely to adversely affect visual…

van Assche, Frans; Duval, Erik; Massart, David; Olmedilla, Daniel; Simon, Bernd; Sobernig, Stefan; Ternier, Stefaan; Wild, Fridolin – Educational Technology & Society, 2006
The Web puts a huge number of learning resources within reach of anyone with Internet access. However, many valuable resources are difficult to find due to the lack of interoperability among learning repositories. In order to achieve interoperability, implementers require a common query framework. This paper discusses a set of methods referred to…
