Yang, Chia-Shing; Moore, David M. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1996
Explores the principles and theories relevant to the design of effective hypermedia courseware. Proposes a hypermedia design: micro-(node) design, dealing with the creation of discrete information screens; and macro-(links), dealing with the connections between them. Presents a prototype courseware template and a courseware unit based on design…

Beriswill, Joanne E. – 1998
This article describes the evolution of computer interface research issues from text-based interface design guidelines to more complex issues, including media selection, interface design, and visual design. This research is then integrated into the Analysis-based Message Design (AMD) process. The AMD process divides the interface design process…

Vrasidas, Charalambos; Harris, Bruce R. – 1995
This document chronicles the development of a hypermedia CD-ROM product that offered information on the island of Cyprus. The hypermedia environment was designed for use by students and educators in eleventh grade up to the college level, and it was intended to fill gaps in multicultural knowledge by enabling individualized, self-paced instruction…

Pulsinelli, Alesha; Roubie, Cynthia – Performance Improvement, 2001
The project DEVISE case study shows how diversity modeling can be used as a powerful design tool. Designers used performance-centered design techniques to create a virtual learning environment in which students with learning disabilities would be more fully supported with an interface that meets their needs.

Boling, Elizabeth; Brown, J. P.; Ray, Sumitra Das; Erwin, Anthony; Kirkley, Sonny – 1998
The development of potentially powerful computer-based tools within rich learning environments is hampered by the constraints of delivery systems (specifically low-resolution, low-real estate displays). In designing a World Wide Web-based tool for manipulating time-based information, the authors have encountered a lack of guidelines or empirical…

Lyardet, Fernando; Rossi, Gustavo; Schwabe, Daniel – 1998
This paper shows how to use design patterns for building educational multimedia applications. The first section summarizes design issues related to organizing the information, the organization of the interface, and implementation. Navigating through information is covered in the second section, including problems, motivations, and solutions, and…

Elliott, A. C.; Beacham, N. A.; Alty, J. L. – 2002
An application specific style guide was produced for a large web-based multimedia and hyper-media learning project. It was introduced to 15 different sets of developers at Universities in disparate locations to promote consistency and good HCI practice for the whole project. This paper discusses the reactions to the use and practicality of the…

Ikegulu, Patricia R. – 1998
This article focuses on the effectiveness of computer-based instruction (CBI) screen designs, including their benefits and limitations, as well as human constraints in designing effective CBI. The paper begins with an overview of what comprises an effective CBI screen design, including characteristics of human factors, how information must be…

Webster, Ray – 2001
The amount, range, and quality of information available to students and other academic users have increased enormously in recent years. Consequently, it is possible for individuals to either suffer from information overload or to get lost in cyberspace while trying to locate relevant information. This paper looks at the relevance of cognitive…

Jones, Marshall G. – 1998
A difficult task in creating rich, exploratory interactive learning environments is building an environment that is truly engaging. Engagement can be defined as the nexus of intrinsic knowledge and/or interest and external stimuli that promote the initial interest in, and continued use of a computer-based learning environment. Complete and total…
