CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS: Human Computer Interaction Research in Web Design and Evaluation
http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~zaphiri/Announcements/web-book.html
Submission Deadline: March 31, 2005
A book edited by:
Dr. Panayiotis Zaphiris, Centre for HCI Design,
City University, London, UK
Dr. Sri Kurniawan, School of Informatics,
University of Manchester, Manchester, UK
Overall Objectives of the Book
------------------------------
The objective of this book is to look at the topic of Web design in a new direction. The majority of existing books on this topic have been focusing primarily on the technical dimensions (programming languages, hardware and software needs) of Web design. Few books touch on the user aspect of Web design and interaction. In addition, this book will try to provide an academic/research direction to Web usability.
Because humans are an important participant in Web interaction and a significant factor contributing to successful Web design is user involvement throughout the design and evaluation processes, there is a need for a unified view of the user-related topics that surround Web design.
This book will point out that beyond the technical aspects of Web design, we need to systematically take into account human interaction and activity, and the completely renewed social and cultural environments that Web environments and interfaces are calling for and
technologies are now capable of delivering. The general goal is to discuss the basis of a broad framework for the development and management of Web environments, enriched with contributions from domains as diverse as Web design, information systems, psychology,
sociology, artificial intelligence, e-learning and many others.
The Target Audience
-------------------
University educators and educators in general; university administrators; researchers; lecturers of HCI and user-centred design; Web system managers; instructional designers; general audience with an interest in HCI and Web design. This book will be structured in such a
way so that it can act as a core textbook in HCI and Web development courses.
Recommended Topics
------------------
Recommended topics include but are not limited to the following:
* Introduction: Introduction to HCI and User-Centred Design and their application to Web design
* Humans as Web Users: human abilities and limitations (cognitive, perceptual, motor) and their effect on efficient use of the Web; cognitive psychology and its application to Web design
* Analysis: Query-based techniques (interviews, focus groups, surveys) and Web design; Task Analysis, users, context and requirements and their application to Web design; Personas
* Design: Conceptual and detailed Web design; Prototyping (paper/electronic) as used in Web design; Screen design; Information architecture; Design of user-friendly Web navigation schemes and features; Web Accessibility and Web design for people with special needs; Participatory design and other innovative design approaches in Web design; Dialogue design
* Evaluation: Usability evaluation; Expert (heuristic) evaluation; Web accessibility evaluation
* Special Topics: Interaction styles and their applicability to the Web; Information visualization on the Web; Computer mediated communication and the Web; The future of HCI and the Web
