... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.

Idaszak, Jacqueline R. (1989): Human Operators in Automated Systems: Impact of Active Participation and Communication. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 778-782.

Operator-system participation and operator-operator communication were manipulated to investigate the effects of increases in active participation on operator monitoring and problem-solving performance. 112 subjects worked as operators of a simulated process system. Operators worked in teams of two on both a monitoring task and, after the system failed, a diagnostic task. The results of this study suggest that active participation in the system improved both monitoring and diagnostic performance while reducing boredom during monitoring and stress while diagnosing a failure. Communication tended to facilitate performance of active participants but degrade performance of passive participants.

Switzer, Fred and Idaszak, Jacqueline R. (1989): Effects of Crew Coordination and Level of Instruction on Process Control Operator Behavior. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 788-791.

The effects of crew coordination and level of instruction on performance, system monitoring, operators' internal representation of the system, communication, and reaction were assessed in a laboratory simulation of a process control plant. Results indicated that crew coordination and procedures or principles-based instruction enhanced performance, but no interaction between these factors was found. System monitoring behavior was not affected by coordination or level of instruction but subjects receiving procedures or principles-based instruction perceived the task as requiring a higher level of effort. Internal representation and communication data are currently being analyzed.
