Detecting context factors in Wikipedia search tasks Articles in information portals like Wikipedia contain not only text, but also images, graphics, lists and navigational information. To investigate the usage of those content elements in different search scenarios we describe a lab study aiming at identifying the users' preferences for varying media types in the different search situations.

How do users interact with textual and pictorial elements in Wikipedia articles? The PhD project explores the design of textual and pictorial elements in selected Wikipedia articles and their influence on users' information behaviour. Eye-tracking experiments, questionnaires and knowledge tests are conducted to get insights into users' behaviour. The aim is to detect correlations between the reception of text/ images and different parameters like learnings tyle, prior knowledge and subject of study.

This work aims to explore information behavior in selected Wikipedia articles. To get insights into users' interaction with pictorial and textual contents eye-tracking experiments are conducted. Spread of information within the articles and the relation between text and images are analyzed.
