Wolfe, Joanna – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2008
Recent research on annotation interfaces provides provocative evidence that anchored, annotation-based discussion environments may lead to better conversations about a text. However, annotation interfaces raise complicated tradeoffs regarding screen real estate and positioning. It is argued that solving this screen real estate problem requires…

Steinberg, Linda S.; Gitomer, Drew H. – 1992
A model of the interface design process is proposed that makes use of two interdependent levels of cognitive analysis: the study of the criterion task through an analysis of expert/novice differences and the evaluation of the working user interface design through the application of a practical interface analysis methodology (GOMS model). This dual…

Oviatt, Sharon – Human-Computer Interaction, 1997
Analyzes interfaces supporting spoken, pen-based, and multimodal input for their effectiveness in interacting with interactive map systems. Results identified performance difficulties with speech-only map interactions that declined substantially when people could interact multimodally. Analyses also indicated that map displays can be structured to…

Hutchison, Douglas; And Others – Educational Gerontology, 1997
Of 45 adults over 50 who had computer experience, 44% reported difficulty reading screens, 53% were frustrated by complex software, and 27% had difficulty with the mouse. The physical characteristics of aging should be considered in designing special software features such as dynamic text resizing and menu buttons instead of pull-down menus. (SK)
