Hypertext Planning Grant

这是一个少数民族研究启动（MRI）计划补助金。 的 研究将调查可用性中的三个问题， 与技能水平相关的超文本。 所采取的办法将 通过长时间的评估来解决学习问题 在浏览活动期间作为技能函数的性能 发展 通过新控件改进超文本使用 机制将通过嵌入专家导师/顾问进行研究 在超文本系统中监控学生的进步。 的 适当的控制量将作为用户的功能进行研究 技能和分组（高控制寻求者与低控制寻求者 搜索者）。 最后一个方面是研究不同的用户 浏览超文本文档。 具体来说， 可识别的路径或策略， 策略、风格、技能或动机。

This is a minority research initiation (MRI) planning grant. The research will investigate three issues in the usability of hypertext related to skill level. The approach to be taken will address the learning issue by long durations to assess performance during browsing activities as a function of skill development. Improvement in hypertext usage via new control mechanisms will be studied by embedding an expert-tutor/advisor within the hypertext system to monitor student progress. The proper amount of control will be studied as a function of user skill and subgroups (high-control seekers versus low-control seekers). The final aspect is to study how different users navigate a hypertext document. Specifically, are there identifiable paths or strategies taken for users with different strategies, styles, skills or motivations.
