“…In general, using the technology of electronic networks to create an online classroom is a challenge for teaching in the digital age. Ted Nelson suggested that "such an object and system, properly designed and administered, could have great potential for education, increasing the student's range of choice, his sense of freedom, his motivation, and his intellectual grasp" [23]. However, hypertext, and the related concept of hypermedia, is indeed, a key element of teaching instruction in this environment.…”

“…Nelson introduced that hypertext "is a body of written or pictorial material interconnected in such a way that it could not conveniently be presented or reproduced on paper. It may contain summaries, or maps, of its contents and their interrelations" [23]. Nelson interpreted that Hypertext was a text presentation system of "making rapid, arbitrary jumps, where material stored in one place may offer a link, much like a footnote, to material stored in another, in either the same or a different document" [34].…”

This study investigates Ted Nelson's works and the influence of his hypertext concept through citation analysis, including citation counting, characteristics of citing articles on language, document type, citing year, discipline, and citation content. The selection of the Nelson's works was based on searching Library Literature & Information Science, Library and Information Science Abstracts, Google and Yahoo search engines. The citation data were compiled from the database of Web of Science. The results of the study reveal that hypertext has directly great impact on information retrieval and world wide web; therefore, the concept has had profound influence on information, library and computer science disciplines. Moreover, the influence of Nelson's works spreads to other disciplines variously, especially on education, literature, business and economics, engineering, sociology, psychology, etc. The citation context analysis of citing articles on information and library science reveals that (1) definition, orientation and general introduction of hypertext; (2) relation of Vannevar Bush and Ted Nelson in terms of hypertext; (3) Nelson's Xanadu system and its component of hypertext; (4) the application of hypertext in information science and library science are four most citing purpose.

Taking stock of user interface history

The user interface is coming of age and papers adressing UI history have appeared in fair amounts in the last 25 years. Most of them address particular aspects such as an innovative interface paradigm or the contribution of a visionary or a research lab. Contrasting this, papers addressing UI history at large have been sparse -and they primarily address the predominant GUI and Web interface paradigms and their forerunners. However, a small spate of publications have appeared recently so we now have a reasonable number of papers. Hence this work-in-progress takes stock of the current history of user interfaces at large. The paper first describes a theoretical framework drawn from history. Next the paper analyses a selected sample of papers on UI history at large. The analysis shows that the current state-of-art i s featured by three aspects: Firstly internalism, in that the papers adress the technologies in their own right with little contextualization, secondly whiggism in that they largely address prevailing UI technologies, and thirdly history from above in that they focus on the great deeds of the visionaries. The paper then compares this state-of-art in UI history to the much more mature fields history of computing and history of technology. Based hereon, some speculations regarding the future of UI history are offered.

“…As a consequence, the demand for ICT to support human interaction is mounting. The knowledge of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has emerged, as a necessary requirement in an effort to develop technology that support human's mental and physical capabilities [1], [2]. Traditional HCI is about designing computer systems that support people so that they can carry out their activities productively and safely [3].…”

“…User interfaces is part of the system and/or technologies with which users can see perceptually, understand conceptually and interact with, physically [3]. HCI is the study and practice of usability [2], [8]. To achieve usability, a user-centered design approach is applied [1].…”

This paper reports a survey result of usability awareness in the information technology (IT) industry. The survey involved 72 personnel who were IT-practitioners, non-IT practitioners and IT students based on their involvement in the IT development process. Generally, they require more exposure to understand the usability importance and practice. Result reveals there is no significant different on the usability awareness between IT practitioners (e.g. software developer, system analyst etc.), non-IT practitioners (e.g. sales and marketing personnel) and IT student in IT industry. Finding indicates that usability is perceived as a "common sense" knowledge for both IT and non-IT practitioners. The international standard for usability is lacking in the IT development projects.The degree of recognition of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and usability terminology is higher than expected, but the practice towards usability received lack attention. Profiles from the students who work as trainee and non-IT personnel indicated a relatively high condition on blaming themselves for not understanding current system interfaces in use. This study provides an indication of current usability awareness following user-experience (UX) development.
