Semiotic Considerations on Direct Concept Manipulation as a Distinct Interface Style for Learnware
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although direct manipulation (DM) has been considered a potentially inappropriate interface style for learnware, convincing indication that the problem with DM lies rather on “what is manipulated” than on the “manipulation” itself has been obtained from empirical studies in the domain of Euclidean geometry. A semiotic examination of such findings suggests that there may be theoretically-based constraints on the kinds of visualizations that yield appropriate direct concept manipulation interfaces for learnware.

متن کاملBetter Realising Direct Manipulation
Direct Manipulation is an approach to designing user interfaces, which forms the basis of Graphical User Interfaces. Despite the importance of the concept, no mathematical model of Direct Manipulation has yet been developed. This paper proposes a model of Direct Manipulation, which relates cognitive distance with user familiarity and the novel concepts of “tech bias”, “velocity” and “inertia”.
