Dingus, Thomas A., Gordon, Sallie E. and Gill, Richard T. (1990): A New Program for the Remote Training of Human Factors Professionals. In: D., Woods, and E., Roth, (eds.) Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 34th Annual Meeting 1990, Santa Monica, USA. pp. 534-536.

“The objective of this paper is to describe a new Human Factors Master's degree program available remotely through the University of Idaho's Video Outreach program. For coursework within the program, normal classroom lectures are videotaped in a dedicated facility and produced by a video production engineer. Students can then view the lectures in one of several video formats (including VHS) in any location asynchronously as their schedules allow. This approach makes it possible for students to receive the same information as on-campus students while maintaining full time employment and/or a remote residence. As of this writing, five courses have been videotaped and a sixth is in progress. Over 60 students have taken video courses to date. Methodologies for providing high-quality video information, the need of such a program in the human factors community, data on student performance within the courses, and students reactions and evaluations are discussed.”

Gill, Richard T., Barbera, Christine and Precht, Terrence (1987): A Comparative Evaluation of Warning Label Designs. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 476-478.

“The objective of this research was to compare the effectiveness of different warning label designs. Three different warning label designs for a portable electric heater were tested: (1) a traditional non-human factored label; (2) a color-coded "ski pass" label attached near the male end of the electric cord; and (3) a color-coded "interactive" label that required the user to interact with the label in order to use the heater. Subjects were informed that they were participating in a problem-solving experiment. Their task was to devise a system, meeting various constraints, to melt a votive candle in a cup. Several potential heat sources were available including an unsafe heater and extension cord combination. The results showed that the interactive design was most effective in attracting the users' attention, but none of them were effective in mediating safe user behavior.”
