Abstract: As higher education embraces new technologies, teaching, learning, research, and record-keeping is increasingly taking place on university websites, on university-related social media pages, and elsewhere on the open web. This dynamic digital content, however, is highly vulnerable to degradation and loss. This session will introduce the concept of web archiving and articulate why it’s important for colleges and universities. Speakers will demonstrate web archiving service Archive-It and then share lessons learned from their institutions’ web archiving initiatives, from unexpected stumbling blocks to strategies for raising funds and support from campus stakeholders.

When it comes to inventory marketing best practices, Gibson Truck World in Sanford, Florida has so many, we had to omit several from this article to fit this space. With sales topping 1,800 units annually, 65 employees, and $7 million in inventory on 14 acres, Gibson is the largest used truck dealership in the world and ranks No. 18 of independent dealers in the U.S.*
Impressive, to be sure, but what’s more impressive is how they sustain these numbers. The biggest clue lies in the fact that a whopping 60 percent of their sales result from referrals and repeat customers.

Using Software Architecture Principles in PracticeEoin Woods
Â
Architects have to balance providing clear guidance for important decisions with the need to let people get on and build their aspects of the system without interference. In this talk Eoin Woods explores how architecture principles can help achieve this by making constraints and priorities clear without being unnecessarily prescriptive about how they are to be implemented.
Presented at O'Reilly Software Architecture Conference in London during October 2016.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Â
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

2. design rules
Designing for maximum usability
– the goal of interaction design
• Principles of usability
– general understanding
• Standards and guidelines
– direction for design
• Design patterns
– capture and reuse design knowledge
3. types of design rules
• principles
– abstract design rules
– low authority
S tandards
– high generality
increasing authority
increasing authority
• standards
– specific design rules
Guidelines
– high authority
– limited application
• guidelines
– lower authority increasing generality
increasing generality
– more general application
4. Principles to support usability
Learnability
the ease with which new users can begin effective
interaction and achieve maximal performance
Flexibility
the multiplicity of ways the user and system exchange
information
Robustness
the level of support provided the user in determining
successful achievement and assessment of goal-
directed behaviour
5. Principles of learnability
Predictability
– determining effect of future actions based on
past interaction history
– operation visibility
Synthesizability
– assessing the effect of past actions
– immediate vs. eventual honesty
6. Principles of learnability (ctd)
Familiarity
– how prior knowledge applies to new system
– guessability; affordance
Generalizability
– extending specific interaction knowledge to new
situations
Consistency
– likeness in input/output behaviour arising from similar
situations or task objectives
7. Principles of flexibility
Dialogue initiative
– freedom from system imposed constraints on input
dialogue
– system vs. user pre-emptiveness
Multithreading
– ability of system to support user interaction for more
than one task at a time
– concurrent vs. interleaving; multimodality
Task migratability
– passing responsibility for task execution between user
and system
8. Principles of flexibility (ctd)
Substitutivity
– allowing equivalent values of input and
output to be substituted for each other
– representation multiplicity; equal opportunity
Customizability
– modifiability of the user interface by user
(adaptability) or system (adaptivity)
9. Principles of robustness
Observability
– ability of user to evaluate the internal state of the
system from its perceivable representation
– browsability; defaults; reachability; persistence;
operation visibility
Recoverability
– ability of user to take corrective action once an error
has been recognized
– reachability; forward/backward recovery;
commensurate effort
10. Principles of robustness (ctd)
Responsiveness
– how the user perceives the rate of
communication with the system
– Stability
Task conformance
– degree to which system services support all
of the user's tasks
– task completeness; task adequacy
11. Using design rules
Standards
increasing authority
increasing authority
Guidelines
Design rules
• suggest how to increase usability
• differ in generality and authority
increasing generality
increasing generality
12. Standards
• set by national or international bodies to
ensure compliance by a large community of
designers standards require sound underlying
theory and slowly changing technology
• hardware standards more common than
software high authority and low level of detail
• ISO 9241 defines usability as effectiveness,
efficiency and satisfaction with which users
accomplish tasks
13. Guidelines
• more suggestive and general
• many textbooks and reports full of guidelines
• abstract guidelines (principles) applicable
during early life cycle activities
• detailed guidelines (style guides) applicable
during later life cycle activities
• understanding justification for guidelines aids
in resolving conflicts
14. Golden rules and heuristics
• “Broad brush” design rules
• Useful check list for good design
• Better design using these than using nothing!
• Different collections e.g.
– Nielsen’s 10 Heuristics (see Chapter 9)
– Shneiderman’s 8 Golden Rules
– Norman’s 7 Principles
15. Shneiderman’s 8 Golden Rules
1. Strive for consistency
2. Enable frequent users to use shortcuts
3. Offer informative feedback
4. Design dialogs to yield closure
5. Offer error prevention and simple error
handling
6. Permit easy reversal of actions
7. Support internal locus of control
8. Reduce short-term memory load
16. Norman’s 7 Principles
1. Use both knowledge in the world and
knowledge in the head.
2. Simplify the structure of tasks.
3. Make things visible: bridge the gulfs of
Execution and Evaluation.
4. Get the mappings right.
5. Exploit the power of constraints, both natural
and artificial.
6. Design for error.
7. When all else fails, standardize.
17. HCI design patterns
• An approach to reusing knowledge about
successful design solutions
• Originated in architecture: Alexander
• A pattern is an invariant solution to a
recurrent problem within a specific context.
• Examples
– Light on Two Sides of Every Room (architecture)
– Go back to a safe place (HCI)
• Patterns do not exist in isolation but are linked
to other patterns in languages which enable
complete designs to be generated
18. HCI design patterns (cont.)
• Characteristics of patterns
– capture design practice not theory
– capture the essential common properties of good examples
of design
– represent design knowledge at varying levels: social,
organisational, conceptual, detailed
– embody values and can express what is humane in
interface design
– are intuitive and readable and can therefore be used for
communication between all stakeholders
– a pattern language should be generative and assist in the
development of complete designs.
19. Summary
Principles for usability
– repeatable design for usability relies on maximizing
benefit of one good design by abstracting out the
general properties which can direct purposeful
design
– The success of designing for usability requires both
creative insight (new paradigms) and purposeful
principled practice
Using design rules
– standards and guidelines to direct design activity
