Title

Towards a practical measure of hypertext usability

Interacting with computers. 8(1996) no.4, S.365-381

Year

Abstract

Proposes a set of measures for assessing the usability of hypertext systems. Defines various path measures from which indicators, and rating of users' lostness, efficiency and confidence when using a hypertext system are derived. Discusses an initial experimental evaluation of the measures. Discusses the method by which the measures were calibrated using both an attitudinal study and the verbal and video protocols recorded as part of the experiment. Analyzes the situations in which these measures may be appropriate
