Linear diagrams have been shown to be an effective method for representing set-based data. Moreover, design principles empirically developed that, when followed, improve the efficacy of linear diagrams. These are task-independent. However, may produced aid with a variety tasks, which different representations more effective. In this paper, we introduce simple interactivity into Namely, gave use...

This paper reviews the international research evidence on the ways in which information and communication technologies (ICT) are used in both formal and informal pre-school settings. The review addresses the debate over the value and desirability of young children using computers and computational toys; the relationship of these technologies to a media environment which encompasses television, ...

This paper addresses computer-mediated advertising (CMA) as a source of brand image. It is proposed that CMA contributes to brand image by facilitating unique consumer-brand relationships. The 'quality' of these relationships largely depend on how advertisers leverage interactivity and computer intelligence during interaction. An analogy is drawn between CMA and service encounters and a framewo...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceived differences between asynchronous online discussions and face-to-face discussions in a classroom setting. The students’ reflections were analysed by following a qualitative research approach. The results showed that atmosphere, response, efficiency, interactivity and communication were the top five themes that differ between asynchronous ...

New and emerging technologies promise to revolutionize risk communication. The benefits of technology are discussed with regard to the components of a recently described warning process model. Examples are provided to illustrate how technology can potentially improve information accessibility and cognitive support. Design principles such as warning interactivity, dynamic modification and person...
