摘要
這個研究的主要目的在於找尋一些在全球資訊網(WWW)網路上瀏覽網頁時用以增進使用者操作效率與效能的介面設計準則。這些設計準則其構思主要來至三方面:超本文連結與超媒體的特性、使用者的認知限制、以及實用性。之後一個依據準則設計,使用HTML與CGI撰寫的新網頁將被用來作為實驗的工具。透過實驗的方式,用問卷來收集使用者的意見。實驗結果顯示,依循準則所設計出來的網頁的確能符合實用性的要求,並且有效降低使用者在使用過程中所受到認知限制的干擾。總之,這些研究結果將會有助於改善在WWW上之人電腦互動的績效。
Abstract
In this paper, we explore some design guidelines for a user interface to improve the efficiency and effectiveness in browsing Web pages on the World Wide Web (WWW). Primarily, there are three aspects to be considered for developing those guidelines. The first one is the properties of Hyperlink and Hypermedia, the second is the cognitive limits of user, and the last one is the usability. Based on proposed guidelines, the Web pages are written in HTML and CGI as a practice: introducing the Department of Business Administration in Soochow University, which is served as an experimental tool. The results of the experiment indicate that most active subjects realize that the Web pages meet the requirements of usability, and also relieve their interferences suffered from the cognitive limits. Finally, the findings of this research are helpful in improving the performance of human-computer interaction on WWW.
