HyperAT : Addressing Usability Issues In Web Authoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
Usable web pages that subscribe to end-users’ needs should be developed. This is uncontentious wisdom, but doing this is not easy. This paper suggests a framework to understand usability issues, and discusses HyperAT, a prototype web authoring tool implemented to test these ideas. The approach taken in HyperAT is novel in that multidisciplinary approaches drawn from current technologies in sub-disciplines of hypertext, human-computer interaction, cognitive psychology and software engineering are integrated and culminated into a practical authoring tool.

We discuss HyperAT, a prototype authoring tool, being implemented to test these ideas.
