▼ This mixed methods research explored interface design strategies for users from different cultures and localized settings. Guided by the cultural-historical development theory and HCI research, four critical factors—navigation design, information organization, layout design, and visuals—were investigated in designing culturally relevant interfaces for Americans and Taiwanese. American and Taiwanese groups—both contained two sub-groups of 30 participants—were recruited for the quantitative phase. Each participant was exposed to only one interface with content composed in their native language. However, one sub-group in each ethnic group was exposed to a culturally relevant interface and another was exposed to an alien interface. MANOVA on overall performance in both American and Taiwanese groups were significant. Americans performed better using the American interface (Wilks’s Λ=.85, F= 5.15, p< .01). They had significantly shorter performance time in the American (M=775) than the Taiwanese (M=1003) interface (F=6.29, p<.05), but differences on performance accuracy were not significant (F=2.74, p=.103). Taiwanese performed better using the Taiwanese interface (Wilks’s Λ=.67, F=14.06, p< .01). They had shorter performance time in the Taiwanese (M=743) than the American (M=1353) interface (F=6.29, p<.05), and they also had higher performance accuracy on the Taiwanese (M=11.7) than the American (M=10.0) interface (F=7.94, p<.01). In addition, t-test on overall preference in both American and Taiwanese groups were significant. Americans preferred the American (M=58.5) over the Taiwanese (M=53.0) interface (t=2.11, p< .05). And Taiwanese preferred the Taiwanese (M=58.7) over the American (M=46.9) interface (t=3.48, p<.01). Qualitative interviews of six American and six Taiwanese participants revealed three themes: First, when searching, Taiwanese were explorative and relied on hierarchical relationships; while Americans relied on prior experiences and analytical categorizations. Second, both groups have higher affiliation with design features matching their preferences. Finally, matching design features with users’ expectations and needs promotes positive perceptions and enhances interface usability. Both quantitative and qualitative Results imply that user interface designers should consider cultural perspectives when designing interfaces for online learning systems. Further studies might consider the relative impacts of the navigation, information structure, layout, and visual design on a broad range of user differences might have on learning.

▼ Η παρούσα διατριβή πραγματεύεται το πρόβλημα της αποτελεσματικής αξιολόγησης ευχρηστίας φορητών εφαρμογών. Με τον όρο “φορητές εφαρμογές” περιγράφονται οι ηλεκτρονικές υπηρεσίες που είναι σχεδιασμένες να παρέχονται μέσω φορητών συσκευών και έχουν ως στόχο να βοηθήσουν τον άνθρωπο στις καθημερινές του προσωπικές ή επαγγελματικές δραστηριότητες. Η αλληλεπίδραση ενός χρήστη με μία τέτοια ηλεκτρονική υπηρεσία είναι μια διαδικασία πολύπλοκη που δεν υποστηρίζεται από μία μεμονωμένη εφαρμογή και δεν περιορίζεται πλέον στα στενά όρια ενός γραφείου. Αντίθετα, επιτυγχάνεται με διαμεσολάβηση σύγχρονων και συχνά πολυχρηστικών υπολογιστικών μονάδων (φορητές συσκευές, υπολογιστές) και επιμέρους συσκευών και λαμβάνει χώρα σε διάφορα φυσικά περιβάλλοντα. Σε πολλές περιπτώσεις εμπλέκει περισσότερους από έναν χρήστες οι οποίοι μπορεί να συνεργάζονται είτε εκ του σύνεγγυς είτε εξ αποστάσεως προκειμένου να εκτελέσουν μια εργασία. Η μελέτη αυτής της αλληλεπίδρασης μπορεί να δώσει πολύτιμα συμπεράσματα τόσο για την ευκολία χρήσης των σύγχρονων υπολογιστικών συστημάτων όσο και για τη χρησιμότητά τους και αποτελεί μια σημαντική ερευνητική πρόκληση του επιστημονικού πεδίου Αλληλεπίδρασης Ανθρώπου Υπολογιστή και ιδιαίτερα της Τεχνολογίας Ευχρηστίας. Οι κλασσικές μέθοδοι ευχρηστίας καλούνται να αντιμετωπίσουν την πρόκληση της επιτυχούς αξιολόγησης των φορητών εφαρμογών, δηλαδή της αποτίμησης των χαρακτηριστικών ποιότητάς τους που επηρεάζουν την εμπειρία χρήσης τους. Τόσο τα χαρακτηριστικά των χρησιμοποιούμενων συσκευών όσο και το περιβάλλον χρήσης των εφαρμογών αυτών, τις διαφοροποιούν κατά πολύ από τις εφαρμογές επιτραπέζιου υπολογιστή. Καθώς η διείσδυσή τους στις καθημερινές δραστηριότητες του ανθρώπου είναι ολοένα και αυξανόμενη, η ανάγκη για μεθοδολογίες και εργαλεία που μπορούν να βοηθήσουν την αξιολόγηση της χρήσης τους κρίνεται επιτακτική. Στην παρούσα εργασία καταρχήν περιγράφονται οι κλασσικές μέθοδοι αξιολόγησης υπολογιστικών συστημάτων και στη συνέχεια αξιολογούνται ως προς την επάρκεια των δεδομένων που μπορούν να συλλέξουν και την πληρότητα των αποτελεσμάτων που μπορούν να δώσουν στην περίπτωση χρήσης τους για αξιολόγηση ευχρηστίας φορητών εφαρμογών. Παράλληλα γίνεται επισκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας που Περίληψη 12 Διδακτορική διατριβή αφορά την αξιολόγηση ευχρηστίας των φορητών εφαρμογών και εξετάζονται τα κυριότερα ζητήματα της μεθόδου αξιολόγησης, περιλαμβάνοντας μεταξύ άλλων την επιλογή του χώρου αξιολόγησης και τα δεδομένα που πρέπει να συλλεγούν και αναλυθούν.

Smarta kläder är en kroppsnära teknik som består av kläder som har i sig integrerade/invävda sensorer vilka mäter kroppssignaler, arbetsställningar och rörelser och visar information om eventuella överbelastningar. Syftet i denna studie var att utvärdera prototyp 1 av ett smart arbetsklädersystem genom att utreda användarnas upplevelse (user experience) och användbarhet av prototypen samt prototypens påverkan på testpersonernas arbetsbeteende. En kombinerad studiedesign valdes. Den experimentella studien kompletterades med enkät och intervju. Tolv testpersoner deltog i undersökningen, fördelade lika på tre grupper: en kontrollgrupp och två experimentgrupper. Via tekniska mätningar samlades kinematisk data gällande: handledens vinkelhastighet och tummens tryckkraft; överarmens vinkel för höger- och vänster arm; överarmens vinkelhastighet för höger och vänster arm samt bålens vinkel vid fram- och bakåtböjningar. Signifikanta arbetsbeteendeförändringar kunde ej konstateras, men det förekom stora skillnader i de individuella resultaten i varje grupp. Dock kunde inte något specifikt mönster i arbetsbeteendeförändringar från de olika grupperna urskiljas. Hypotesen att arbetsbeteendeförändringar kan tillskrivas påverkan från prototypen stöddes inte av data. Resultatet från intervju- och enkätundersökning kring användarnas upplevelse och användbarhet visade att prototypen skattades som användarvänlig och användbar i sin helhet. Testpersonerna önskade förändringar i prototypens konstruktion gällande prototypens material och storlek, typ av feedback samt placering av sensorer. Vissa brister i design och utförandet av användartesterna och experimentmätningen konstateras och deras inverkan på studiens validitet och reliabilitet diskuteras. Rekommendationer ges gällande framtida testning av nästa prototyp utifrån de upptäckta bristerna.

Smart clothes are a group of technical aids that consist of clothing that has integrated/built-in sensors that measure body postures and movements and display information about possible physical overload. The purpose of this study was to evaluate prototype 1 of a smart workwear system by investigating its user experience and usability, as well as the impact of the prototype on the test subjects' work behavior. A combined study design was chosen. The experimental study was supplemented with questionnaire and interview. Twelve test subjects split in three equal groups participated in the study: one control group and two experimental groups. Through technical measurements, kinematic data was collected: angular velocity of the wrist and thumb pressure; right and left arm's angle; angular velocity for the right and left arm as well as the torso angle during forward and backward bending. Changes in work behavior were found. However, large differences in the individual results within each group were observed, with no obvious pattern of changes in work behavior between groups. The collected data did not support the hypothesis that work behavior…

▼ This dissertation examines the relationship between religious mobile app design and use in Catholic and Islamic contexts. Understanding this relationship is important because it provides a clearer picture of how mobile technology is being integrated into social life, how religious practices are evolving as they are engaged in new technological environments, and how different technological and religious affordances create a mobile space for religious practice. This dissertation uses two methods to examine both design and use of Catholic and Islamic prayer applications. First, 65 Catholic and Islamic prayer app descriptions and the apps themselves were textually analyzed to identify and explain what technological and religious affordances were present, and how those affordances were combined in different ways to create three main approaches to prayer app design. Second, a Catholic prayer app and an Islamic prayer app were chosen for an app user test, which revealed data about how participants were engaging and understanding prayer apps at the time of app use. Key findings from the textual analysis phase of the dissertation include: developers’ use of traditional religious authority, such as pastors or imams, and algorithmic authority within app descriptions to justify the authenticity of their apps; a list that identifies and explains what technological and religious affordances were present within the apps themselves; and how developers combined these affordances that reflected a translation design approach, a mobile environment design approach, and a multi-purpose religious app design approach. Key findings from the user-testing phase of the dissertation include: an engagement with technological and religious affordances that are indicative of the translation design approach; the importance of reminders and alert features to provide a way for users to micro coordinate their religious lives; a lack of engagement with features that provide users a way to share prayer app content; and a negotiated and complex framing of app use for religious practice.

▼ Depression is a common psychological disorder among older adults and is associated with serious secondary effects to health and social well-being. Behavioral activation has been found to be an efficacious treatment for depression. However, there is limited research on the treatment effects of behavioral activation with older adults. In general, older adults under-utilize mental health treatments. Computer-delivered treatments have been developed to address access and under-utilization. The purpose of this dissertation was to evaluate the acceptability and effects of a computer-delivered values-based behavioral activation treatment for depression in older adults. This study consisted of two phases. Phase I consisted of a 10-session computer-delivered values-based behavioral activation treatment for two older adults. Repeated measures of depression and activation were assessed, and quality of life was assessed at pre and post treatment. Phase II was exploratory and included 21 older adults from a general population. This phase probed participant reviewers ‘awareness of depression, their process for seeking mental health services, their attitudes and perceptions of a computer-delivered values-based behavioral activation treatment program, and their experienced usability of this computer-delivered treatment. Participant 003 experienced clinically significant reductions in symptoms of depression from baseline to follow-up. She reported increases in her activation levels and quality of life. Participant 002 did not complete treatment, and did not have a treatment response. However, she reported improvements in her symptoms of depression and activation from baseline to her final treatment session. Phase II reviewers reported an overall positive experience with the computer-delivered program, a high degree of usability, and increased ratings of credibility and expectations for improvement from pre to post review of the program. Further research is warranted to test the effects of this program with older adults using more rigorous research design. There is a need for improving dissemination and awareness of computer-delivered mental health treatments. More research should explore the comparative effects of integrative and stepped care models. Behavioral activation manuals and computer-delivered programs need to better adapt treatments to meet the needs and the preferences of older adults. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. Galen Alessi, Dr. Amy Naugle, Dr. Scott Gaynor.

▼ Graphical menus provide slow performance and yet users often try to select menu commands as fast as possible. Shortcut techniques that enable users to by-pass selections from a graphical menu are fast, but are not the ultimate answer to the performance problem. Shortcut techniques pose high demands on human memory. They require much training and frequent use. They do not scale well. And they often cannot be provided on devices with limited capabilities, such as mobile devices with small screens, small keyboards, or touch screens. Because of these problems, users often times 'stick' to a graphical menu and are condemned to its poor performance. This thesis argues that the performance of graphical menus can be improved. The thesis consists of three parts: The first part presents the background knowledge and the problem of slow graphical menus. The second part presents the design of a menu that supports the needs of novices, experts, and those transitioning from novice to expert. In particular, the design explicitly aims at improving selection performance by leveraging concentric radial layout. The third part of the thesis presents the evaluation of the design and its main characteristics. Four studies are conducted based on two controlled, user experiments. A number of variables are analysed including pointing time, visual search time, navigation performance, novice/expert performance, navigation errors, and screen consumption. A number of factors are controlled including menu size, location of menu items, menu design, and layout variation. Traditional linear menus are included for comparison. Objective and subjective measures are used. Additionally, a performance model based on pointing laws is proposed and used to measure the motor processing rates of tested designs. The evaluation shows that designing with performance in mind can result in faster graphical menus compared to traditional menus. The proposed Compact Radial Layout menu is approximately 20-30% faster in a variety of conditions, reduces navigation errors, induces users to faster movements and decreases screen consumption. The evaluation also shows that, with a consistent pattern of organizing items in radial menus, search and navigation performance can be further improved. At the same time, the results indicate that the improved navigation performance in radial menus comes at the cost of slower visual search. Advisors/Committee Members: Decker, Stefan (advisor).

Usability is a way to study how good a website is which is what our research builds upon. On a mission from Liseberg our purpose is to find out if their website liseberg.se is good from a user’s perspective. Our way of carrying this out where grounded upon a qualitative study through observations and following interviews with a number of participants. By compositing tools of method we have started with the theories descriptions of usability tests and we have also used the theories to be able to reflect around and to understand the results from the tests. To be able to get the best use of the theories we have put together a frame with important concepts which describes usability in a structure and concrete way. These concepts works as a starting point of our data collection. In observations and the following interviews certain usability problems with liseberg.se appear. These results then are put to analysis based upon theories and our own understanding of the subject. To sum up a description of what should be reflected upon and changed on a website, with liseberg.se as an example, is presented. We want to show what makes the good website.

Användbarhet är ett sätt att studera hur bra en webbplats är vilket är vad vår undersökning bygger på. På uppdrag av Liseberg har vi som syfte att ta reda på om deras webbplats liseberg.se är bra ur ett användbarhetsperspektiv. Vårt sätt att genomföra detta grundar sig på en kvalitativ studie genom observationer och efterföljande intervjuer med ett antal testdeltagare. I framtagning av metodverktyg så har vi utgått från teoriernas beskrivning av användbarhetstest och vi har även använt teorierna för att kunna reflektera kring och utläsa resultat från undersökningar. För att kunna få störst användning av teorierna har vi sammanställt en ram med viktiga begrepp som beskriver användbarhet på ett strukturerat och konkret sätt. Dessa begrepp fungerar som utgångspunkt för vår datainsamling. I observationer och efterföljande intervjuer framkommer vissa användbarhetsproblem med liseberg.se. Dessa resultat analyseras sedan utifrån teorier och vår egen förståelse i ämnet. Sammanfattningsvis beskrivs vad som bör reflekteras kring och förändras på en webbplats, med liseberg.se som exempel. Vi vill visa vad som utgör den goda webbplatsen.

▼ This research project deals with the user-experience related to embodied music mediation technologies. More specifically, adoption and policy problems surrounding new media (art) are considered, which arise from the usability issues that to date pervade new interfaces for musical expression. Since the emergence of new wireless mediators and control devices for musical expression, there is an explicit aspiration of the creative industries and various research centers to embed such technologies into different areas of the cultural industries. The number of applications and their uses have exponentially increased over the last decade. Conversely, many of the applications to date still suffer from severe usability problems, which not only hinder the adoption by the cultural sector, but also make culture participants take a rather cautious, hesitant, or even downright negative stance towards these technologies. Therefore, this thesis takes a vantage point that is in part sociological in nature, yet has a link to cultural studies as well. It combines this with a musicological frame of reference to which it introduces empirical user-oriented approaches, predominantly taken from the field of human-computer-interaction studies. This interdisciplinary strategy is adopted to cope with the complex nature of digital embodied music controlling technologies. Within the Flanders cultural (and creative) industries, opportunities of systems affiliated with embodied interaction are created and examined. This constitutes an epistemological jigsaw that looks into 1) “which stakeholders require what various levels of involvement, what interactive means and what artistic possibilities?”, 2) “the way in which artistic aspirations, cultural prerequisites and operational necessities of (prospective) users can be defined?”, 3) “how functional, artistic and aesthetic requirements can be accommodated?”, and 4) “how quality of use and quality of experience can be achieved, quantified, evaluated and, eventually, improved?”. Within this multi-facetted problem, the eventual aim is to assess the applicability of the foresaid technology, both from a theoretically and empirically sound basis, and to facilitate widening and enhancing the adoption of said technologies. Methodologically, this is achieved by 1) applied experimentation, 2) interview techniques, 3) self-reporting and survey research, 4) usability evaluation of existing devices, and 5) human-computer interaction methods applied – and attuned – to the specific case of embodied music mediation technologies. Within that scope, concepts related to usability, flow, presence, goal assessment and game enjoyment are scrutinized and applied, and both task- and experience-oriented heuristics and metrics are developed and tested. In the first part, covering three chapters, the general context of the thesis is given. In the first chapter, an introduction to the topic is offered and the current problems are enumerated. In the second chapter, a broader theoretical background is presented of the concepts… Advisors/Committee Members: Leman, Marc.

▼ Dans notre société, les dispositifs techniques sont envisagés pour augmenter la qualité et la rapidité d'exécution des tâches. Le domaine de la santé n'y échappe pas. Les établissements de santé investissent beaucoup pour se doter de dispositifs techniques capables d'atteindre des objectifs de performance. Quand les Hautes Autorités de Santé (HAS) recommandent de diminuer les délais d'envoi du courrier de sortie, les hôpitaux numérisent l'activité de production et de transmission du courrier. Mais aucun n'a envisagé en amont de son introduction un quelconque effet négatif sur la réalisation du courrier avec par exemple, des délais augmentés. Or il est légitime de s'interroger sur les effets des dispositifs techniques pour l'activité de production-transmission du courrier de sortie. D'autant que ce courrier assure une fonction importante puisqu'il assure la continuité des soins et la sécurité du patient.Nous avons alors cherché à déterminer l'effet de dispositifs techniques sur le délai d'envoi du courrier. Pour répondre à cette question, nous avons étudié toute la situation de travail (les dispositifs techniques, les organisations et les acteurs, individuellement et dans leurs interactions) par une approche centrée facteurs humains, en partant du constat qu'il est difficile d'interpréter les résultats des études scientifiques mesurant l'effet de ces dispositifs sans la prise en compte et la connaissance des caractéristiques techniques, organisationnelles et des acteurs peu ou pas décrites dans les études.Pour répondre à notre question de recherche, nous avons identifié et décrit les caractéristiques techniques, organisationnelles et liées aux acteurs. Et nous avons analysé leurs effets sur l'indicateur de délais d'envoi du courrier. Dans notre démarche, nous avons tout d'abord envisagé d'utiliser l'indicateur IPAQSS que les hôpitaux publics français recueillent. Mais celui-ci a été écarté de notre recherche, ne le considérant pas comme valide et ne correspondant pas à la réalité. Nous avons choisi de mesurer des délais intermédiaires, à chaque étape du processus de production - transmission du courrier pour être au plus près de la réalité et répondre ainsi à notre question de recherche. Les analyses statistiques ont porté sur 440 courriers pris dans 7 services du CHRU de Lille.Les principaux résultats montrent qu'un dispositif technique numérique ne garantit pas systématiquement une diminution des délais de réalisation des tâches. Il est nécessaire de s'intéresser à ses caractéristiques techniques pour déterminer ces délais. De plus, les mesures de délais varient sous l'effet des variables contextuelles (organisationnelles et liées aux acteurs) et pas uniquement sous le seul effet d'un dispositif technique. Par ailleurs les résultats mettent en évidence que la connaissance de la situation de travail permet d'interpréter les mesures obtenues. Avec cette connaissance, il devient possible d'agir sur les caractéristiques techniques, organisationnelles ou liées aux acteurs pour atteindre les objectifs fixés par les… Advisors/Committee Members: Beuscart, Régis (thesis director).

This thesis deals with the problem of effective usability evaluation of mobile applications. The term "mobile applications" describes the electronic services that are designed to operate under mobile devices in order to meet the everyday needs of people. There are special characteristics of mobile applications, compared to established desktop applications. Thus, the dynamic context of use and the small size of mediating mobile devices differentiate their use and increase the complexity of their usability evaluation. There are various established methods that have been extensively used in traditional human-computer interaction research in order to evaluate the use of desktop applications. This thesis, firstly examines the suitability of such methods in usability evaluation of mobile applications. The survey indicated that all these methods can be effective. However their application produces different types of data and requires different amount and kind of resources. In the frame of this thesis, MOBELIC, a new methodology for the usability evaluation of mobile applications, is proposed. The goal of MOBELIC is the optimization of evaluation process due to the short life-cycle of mobile applications. It is an effective combination of selected established methods supporting the redesign of a mobile application during its development life-cycle. The main characteristic of this methodology is that it proposes the iterative application of each evaluation method, depending on certain factors, such as the mobile application implementation phase, the quality of the expected method results and the required resources. Subsequently, the design and the implementation of a usability evaluation tool, the ActivityLens, that support the proposed methodology, are described in this thesis. ActivityLens integrates and synchronizes multiple heterogeneous data that describe the interaction of real users with mobile applications. Furthermore, the tool incorporates especially designed mechanisms for annotation and analysis of collected data in order to facilitate usability experts to extract meaningful information. The applicability of the proposed methodology and the effectiveness of the ActivityLens are examined through an extended case study in which the usability of an educational mobile application is evaluated. The case study consists of three discrete experiments including the use of different evaluation methods according to the proposed methodology.

Η παρούσα διατριβή πραγματεύεται το πρόβλημα της αποτελεσματικής αξιολόγησης ευχρηστίας φορητών εφαρμογών. Με τον όρο “φορητές εφαρμογές” περιγράφονται οι ηλεκτρονικές υπηρεσίες που είναι σχεδιασμένες να παρέχονται μέσω φορητών συσκευών και έχουν ως στόχο να βοηθήσουν τον άνθρωπο στις καθημερινές του προσωπικές ή επαγγελματικές δραστηριότητες. Η αλληλεπίδραση ενός χρήστη με μία τέτοια ηλεκτρονική υπηρεσία είναι μια διαδικασία πολύπλοκη που δεν υποστηρίζεται από μία μεμονωμένη εφαρμογή και δεν περιορίζεται πλέον στα στενά όρια ενός γραφείου. Αντίθετα, επιτυγχάνεται με διαμεσολάβηση…

Η παρούσα διατριβή πραγματεύεται το πρόβλημα της αποτελεσματικής σχεδίασης ιστοτόπων που υποστηρίζουν την εύχρηστη διαδραστική αναζήτηση. Με τον όρο διαδραστική αναζήτηση περιγράφεται η διερευνητική αλληλεπίδραση ενός χρήστη με έναν ιστότοπο, με στόχο την εύρεση πληροφορίας στο πλαίσιο μίας εργασίας του, χωρίς τη χρήση διαδικτυακών μηχανών αναζήτησης. Η διατριβή εντάσσεται στην περιοχή της ευχρηστίας του Διαδικτύου και γενικότερα της μελέτης αλληλεπίδρασης ανθρώπου-υπολογιστή και ειδικότερα αλληλεπίδρασης χρηστών με πληροφορία. Ένας ιστότοπος είναι συχνά, όχι μόνο μια εφαρμογή με την οποία αλληλεπιδρά ο χρήστης αλλά και ένας πληροφοριακός χώρος, του οποίου η κατάλληλη δόμηση και διασύνδεση του περιεχομένου επηρεάζουν σε μεγάλο βαθμό την ευχρηστία του. Συνεπώς, η ανάπτυξη μεθοδολογιών για τον επιτυχή σχεδιασμό της πληροφοριακής αρχιτεκτονικής (information architecture) ενός ιστοτόπου παραμένει μία σημαντική σχεδιαστική πρόκληση. Η διατριβή προτείνει μία νέα μεθοδολογία σχεδιασμού και αξιολόγησης της πληροφοριακής αρχιτεκτονικής ιστοτόπων, τη MEDIAMIS (Methodology for the Efficient Design of Information Architectures based on Models of Interactive Search). Η συνεισφορά της έγκειται στο γεγονός ότι βελτιστοποιεί και συστηματοποιεί τη διαδικασία σχεδιασμού ή αξιολόγησης. Η MEDIAMIS είναι εμπνευσμένη από εδραιωμένες χρηστοκεντρικές τεχνικές και πρόσφατα μοντέλα της συμπεριφοράς των ανθρώπων κατά τη διαδραστική αναζήτηση. Η μεθοδολογία απευθύνεται σε μηχανικούς του Διαδικτύου και αποσκοπεί στη δημιουργία ιστοτόπων που υποστηρίζουν την εύχρηστη διαδραστική αναζήτηση από τους χρήστες τους. Προκειμένου να υποστηριχθεί η MEDIAMIS αναπτύχθηκαν δύο πρωτότυπα εργαλεία, το AutoCardSorter (Automated Card Sorting Tool) και το ISEtool (InfoScent Evaluator Tool). Το πρώτο υποστηρίζει τη διαδικασία δόμησης του περιεχομένου ενός ιστοτόπου, ενώ το δεύτερο τη δημιουργία σημασιολογικά κατάλληλων λεκτικών περιγραφών για τους υπερσυνδέσμους ενός ιστοτόπου. Τέλος, στο πλαίσιο της διατριβής, εξετάζεται η εγκυρότητα και αποδοτικότητα της MEDIAMIS και των υποστηρικτικών εργαλείων, μέσα από έξι πειραματικές μελέτες. Στις μελέτες αυτές συγκρίθηκαν εκτενώς τα αποτελέσματα της προτεινόμενης προσέγγισης με αυτά καθιερωμένων χρηστοκεντρικών τεχνικών και μετρικών της παρατηρούμενης συμπεριφοράς των χρηστών. Τα συμπεράσματα των μελετών έδειξαν ότι η MEDIAMIS παράγει αποτελέσματα εφάμιλλης ποιότητας με εδραιωμένες χρηστοκεντρικές τεχνικές, αλλά με σημαντικά αποδοτικότερο τρόπο.

This thesis addresses the problem of effective design of websites that enhance findability of information during interactive search. The term interactive search is used to describe the exploratory, goal−directed browsing activity of a user, while seeking information in a website. Seeking information using a search engine is not an object of study in this thesis. The thesis falls into the field of human computer interaction, and the subfields of Web usability and human information interaction. A website should be treated both as a user interface as well as a hypertext…

Aborda o levantamento de características de usabilidade que possam ser aplicadas em interfaces de bibliotecas virtuais, para atender diferenças de interação e necessidades informacionais de usuários distintos. Demonstra o surgimento e a popularização da Internet e o apresenta como fator determinante para o desenvolvimento das bibliotecas virtuais. Discorre sobre a história das bibliotecas e propõe subsídios para a criação de bibliotecas virtuais temáticas voltadas para atender as necessidades dos usuários. Apresenta o conceito de informação e informação em saúde. Aborda as relações interdisciplinares da Ciência da Informação com as Ciências Cognitivas. Demonstra, através de grupo focal, estudo sobre necessidades informacionais de usuários potenciais de biblioteca virtual temática em saúde. Discorre a respeito de usabilidade em bibliotecas virtuais e apresenta a usabilidade como parâmetro para atendimento às necessidades dos usuários. Conclui que a avaliação heurística e os preceitos de usabilidade levantados na literatura e as normas técnicas vigentes sobre o tema apresentam subsídios para aprimoramento de bibliotecas virtuais temáticas e considera que as opiniões colhidas no grupo focal são contribuições importantes para a melhoria de processos de uma biblioteca virtual temática em saúde

This work discusses usability features that can be applied on interfaces for virtual libraries, to meet differences in interaction and information needs of different users. It presents the emergence and popularization of the Internet and presents it as a determining factor for the development of thematic virtual libraries. It presents the history of libraries and proposes subsidies for the creation of thematic virtual libraries issues aimed to meet the needs of users. It introduces the concept of information and health information. It discusses the interdisciplinary relations of Information Science with Cognitive Science. It demonstrates, through a focus group study on information needs of potential users of a thematic virtual library. It talks about usability in virtual libraries and usability features as parameters for meeting the needs of users. We conclude that the heuristic evaluation and usability principles raised in the literature and the current technical standards on the subject present subsidies for improvement of thematic virtual libraries and we consider the views gathered in focus groups are important contributions to the improvement of processes in a thematic virtual library in health.

▼ This dissertation is concerned with the communicative potential of websites. The World Wide Web is a relatively new locale for communication on which an increasing number of users rely daily in Canada and in Ukraine. However, up to the present time there has been no unified framework for the analysis of communicative potentials of websites. The present study has developed an integral linguistic model that unifies the analysis under the overarching framework of systemic functional linguistics. Design, content, and navigation are examined within this framework in connection with three linguistic metafunctions: ideational, interpersonal, and textual. This perspective permits viewing websites as texts, albeit complex in structure and multimodal in nature. The model has been successfully applied to the analysis of four major websites of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada and in Ukraine and the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church in Ukraine. The selection of these sites is explicated by two considerations: first, the necessity to study in depth Web use in the non-profit sector including religious organizations which has been indicated by previous research (e.g. Nelson, 2008; Strickland, 2004; Palmer, 2004); and, second, by the fact that Web use in this context renders communication a central concern. The research findings suggest that the communicative potentials of the websites under analysis are restricted with respect to all three linguistic metafunctions preventing them from communicating effectively with youth whom the Church seeks to engage. The Greek-Catholic websites, however, have been shown to be more efficient in terms of dialogic properties than the Orthodox sites. The theoretical value of the current research lies in developing an integral linguistic model for the analysis of communicative potentials of websites. The model can be used (a) to enhance certain features of the Churches' websites and thereby improve communication with communities via the Web and (b) to inform non-profit and educational institutions (e.g. secondary schools, Universities) how to better establish and maintain an effective dialogue with their respective communities. Thus, the proposed model has both theoretical and practical value and can be useful to religious, educational, and other non-profit organizations.
