User-Centred Requirements for Software Engineering Environments
An edited volume that resulted from a NATO-funded workshop held in France in 1992. It brings together psychologists, sociologists and software engineers to discuss what is known and understood about the needs software engineers have of their software engineering environments.
The Relevance of HCI Guidelines for Educational Interfaces
The studies reported here show that, in the context of educational software, interfaces designed for usability can lead to less deep learning about the learning domain than interfaces that were harder to use but were designed to encourage reflection on key domain concepts.
Seeing structure
This paper examines the way that visual structural information in a computer program may provide important information to a programmer and assesses that for both novice and expert programmers.
About Me
20+ years working in Silicon Valley, Seattle and Portland, Oregon.
Worked for IDEO, Intel, GE, Logitech and Elekta in roles encompassing human factors, design research, user experience design and user experience leadership.
Ten years as an academic at the University of Nottingham teaching human factors, research methods, human-computer interaction and applied psychology. Numerous research grants and 6 successful PhD students.
Our research in the mid-1990s was some of the first work to demonstrate the need for a concept bigger than usability – we didn’t apply the term ‘user experience’, but it is now clear that those elements that are key to user experience were also central to those experiments on educational technology.
For most of the past 15 years I have been a team leader – of small to large teams – functioning at a corporate, strategic level more than at a tactical, product or feature level.
