Digital resources in a complex web of perceptions

Dr. Anne Adams University College London Interaction Centre
This presentation provides an overview of several studies into the use of digital resources within the academic and health domains and a wide variety of communities of practice (e.g. computer and media studies, hospital and patient information). The findings present a complex web of issues resulting in users' poor awareness, usage and understanding of technology. A user's frustration with the technology e.g.
"It's like being given a Rolls Royce and only being able to sound the horn"
highlights interactions between social context, system design and implementation procedures.
The findings are viewed in the context of evolutionary and revolutionary approaches to design. The importance of 'communities of practice' and implementation strategies in informing design are also reviewed.

Narrative Hypermedia is...
Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.
Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
