Greetings,

I would like to invite you to participate in a survey about the quality of the alternate text for images in web pages and how semantic content analysis could improve it.

It is made available via an attribute to the tag in web pages and is used by assistive technology to describe the image for those that cannot perceive it visually. It is the most common example in the field of web accessibility. Having an alternate text attribute does not

Hi everybody,

I'm looking for best practices / examples on 'search within results' for a
web application.

The specific questions I am looking at are:
1) Is it better to display two separate search boxes or use one box to
search and then search within results?
2) If two boxes are used, what ways can they be visually differentiated?
3) Once a search within results is done, how does one get back to the
original search results?

Hi there!

We are programming a tool for more interaction in the lecture hall.
To participate, students use their Smartphone, iPad, NoteBook, etc.
For identification a new token for each lecture is presented by the teacher on the front screen.
Students then have to enter this token in their device.
For security reasons the token shall have a variability of at least 1 in one hundred million.
We have three types of token in mind.
For each token spaces are included for better visualization, which need not to be entered.
Letters are NOT case-sensitive, too.

CHI-Web colleagues,

I have a Web design problem and would like to know if there is a good solution.

I'll use medicine as a domain to illustrate the problem (although
medicine isn't the domain in which I am working):

Assume a medical Web app has a page that lists patients. Each
patient has several attributes, so the list of patients is displayed
as a table. One attribute for each patient is meds the patient is
taking. That itself is a list of varying length.

them to do anything, and that many of the things you might consider have
been sullied by web advertisers and actually can lead to banner blindness.

"Questions come up about a particular area of UX in our case -- the
optimal balance of content vs advertising elements in the design of a
web page. If advertising runs the show, we risk cheapening the value
of our content and brand; if content runs the show, advertising
complains about lost revenue opportunities. I'm hoping there might
be some best practice guidelines available from content providers
who've fought these battles recently? Would appreciate any pointers
you can offer."

Now that UserVue is no longer available, does anyone have a suggestion for a
tool to conduct remote usability studies? I am looking for something that

1. records the participants desktop and voice; I don't necessarily need
the participants face
2. does not have excessive lag; this is an issue with WebEx
3. allows observers to observe in real time
4. allows chat between the facilitator and observers

Dear colleagues,

Do you want your Web browser to be smarter? So do we. And it is easy for
you to help. Submit your anonymized Web history to the Web History
Repository.

Companies like Google, Microsoft and Facebook constantly improve their
products, based on the data that they collect from their users.
Open-source software developers and researchers normally have no access
to this data, which puts them into a disadvantage.

Hi - can anyone on the Chi-web list suggest innovative usability test
design approaches for A/B testing? Both A and B will be presented on the
same screen and the user needs to peruse each and choose the one they
prefer. I am looking for ideas on the best UIs to present text and pictures
most effectively for this type of purpose and was wondering if folks on the
list have suggestions.

Thanks to everyone who took part in my Facebook quiz. There were over 300 responses. The full survey results are written up at http://www.syntagm.co.uk/design/facebookstudy.htm but there is a brief summary below.

Some of you noticed that I did not include a Don't Know response in my questions. My thinking was that it was a very short questionnaire (only two questions warranted a Don't Know) and that I wanted respondents' best guesses rather than just an admission that they couldn't remember. Diana Kornbrot at the University of Hertfordshire UK suggested it would be

Do you use Morae, and do you capture keystrokes? What do you think about the fact that you're storing your participants' passwords in the video?

I've brought this up with TechSmith a couple of times, asking for an option to block keystroke capture in password fields. They've always said that because they can't guarantee to identify every password field, they don't do it -- they don't want us to think we're more protected than we are. I argue that they should alert us to this problem, but still offer the option. It's better to be protected most of the time

Hello everyone -

Here are the responses I received to a question I posted to this ListServ
last week on how to broadcast live audio + video via Morae using an
application sharing software such as WebEx, GoToMeeting, or AT&T Connect. My
"net/net" is it seems possible to do this, but it isn't easy! I attempted
some of these approaches, but was unsuccessful. Perhaps there was a problem
with the wireless in the building where I was running my sessions, or maybe
I need to purchase a higher-powered laptop that will run both Morae Observer
+ the application sharing product

Hi - I have heard that there is a way to broadcast live audio & video from
Morae Observer using an application sharing product such as GoToMeeting. Has
anyone been able to do this successfully? I can broadcast live video, but
not the accompanying live audio. Hooking up a microphone to a speaker to
capture the audio is not an option in this case.

Hi,

I am conducting a usability review of a software testing application. One of the issues we identified in the application is the lack of syntax highlighting in the code view.

Does anyone know of any research or guidelines for syntax highlighting?

Thanks to everyone who helped and participated in this research study.

If you intended to participate, but have not yet done so, please consider this reminder (if you have participated, please excuse this email -- the questionnaire was anonymous, so I don't know who participated and who did not).

Your opinions as a web interface designer are important and valued. Your participation is voluntary, but I would be most grateful for your assistance in completing a web based questionnaire. The questionnaire takes roughly 15-20 minutes to complete. All of your responses will remain confidential.

I would like to hear the communities expierence in publishing in open-
access or indexed HCI journals.

When it comes to decide in which journal one wants to submit a
manuscript, I end up always having the trouble to decide between open-
access or indexed journals. While I certainly like the idea of open
access, I do not know a single HCI journal that is open access and
still indexed in system like e.g. Scopus or ISI. For the scientific
career it is crucial that you publish your works in important
journals. Unfortunately this is often measured by Impact Factors

Hi - I have encountered a video issue with Morae video and was wondering if anyone on our list has run across something similar in your work with it.  I am running usability tests on a device and need to use 2 video inputs (one trained on the participant's face and the other on their hands using the device).
 
Have you ever had to use 2 video inputs into Morae (as opposed to just one)?  If so, do you know any tricks to make the main window video crisper?  I started out using 2 Logitech 2MP web cams. The images are very

At CHI 2010 (http://www.chi2010.org), I will be moderating a panel on
e-government, also known as online provision of government services.
The panel title is "E-Government: Services for Everyone, Everywhere,
Eventually". Panelists who have worked on e-government services will
discuss obstacles that have delayed the wide-spread rollout of
e-government, as well as success factors.

In my introduction, I want to briefly describe one or two examples of
e-government failure, and one or two examples of success. I have
some ideas for examples, but I would appreciate any suggestions from
the CHI-Web crowd.

Has anyone done any research - or come across any - on auto-rotating content
banners? I don't mean ad banners, I mean sites such as the White House (
http://www.whitehouse.gov/) and the many US government sites that replicate
the feature (http://www.state.gov/ or http://www.nps.gov/). Generally, it's
a large banner with a strong graphic image and a short header or descriptive
text that links to a secondary page; the banner rotates through four or more
options, and also allows users to click through the options.
