New modes of lifelong learning in the workplace require interface designs which support new contexts for learning. We describe here a workplace learning support system for instruction in User-centered Design [UCD]. The design evolution of this system illustrates how the "why, where, when and with whom" of use affects the "what and how" of the interaction design. The tutorial system includes a multimedia Case Study, a Methods Tour of UCD techniques, and a Test Drive in which users take simulated roles in a UCD project. This paper describes how the content and features were adapted as the target audience evolved from individual learners in a career curriculum to collaborative groups within a project team.

Shah, Vincent, Waddington, Ray, Carey, Tom and Buhr, Peter (1993): The Recognition of Concurrent Programming Plans by Novice and Expert Programmers: Implications for the Parsimony of the Plan Theory of Programming Expertise. In: Cook, Curtis, Scholtz, Jean and Spohrer, James C. (eds.) Empirical Studies of Programmers - Fifth Workshop December 3-15, 1993, 1993, Palo Alto, California. p. 229.

The concept of programming plans has generated much discussion as to whether it adequately explains behavioural differences between novice and expert programmers. Experimental tools, such as PROUST, Bridge and UNIVERSE, have applied programming plans in different roles. However, most of the research in this area has been centered in the sequential programming paradigm. As a result, one can only speculate the extent of plan theory across different paradigms. This study provides some insight into this matter by examining plans in concurrent programming. Rist's (1986) methodology was adapted to confirm the existence of a well-established set of plans that expert concurrent programmers had accumulated from their wealth of experience. The novice subjects were expected to slowly acquire these plans as they gained expertise over time. No evidence could be found to support these tendencies but a significant correlation was observed between concurrent plan recognition and academic performance. The findings from this study raise a number of questions about the extent and completeness of plan theory. It also provides a starting point for further research on concurrent programming behaviour that is aimed towards designing and developing effective concurrent programming tools and environments.

We report results from an empirical study of how people access online technical documentation. The results are used to evaluate the concept of an active help system as an aid to improved access. The study showed that the differences amongst users limit the potential for active help, and that help in making tactical choices amongst access methods offers more promise for improved user access.

Carey, Tom, McKerlie, Diane L., Bubie, Walter and Wilson, James (1991): Communicating Human Factors Expertise Through Design Rationales and Scenarios. In: Diaper, Dan and Hammond, Nick (eds.) Proceedings of the Sixth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VI August 20-23, 1991, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. pp. 117-130.

This paper discusses the preliminary results and ongoing work of a collaborative research project which investigates methods to communicate the Human-Computer Interaction expertise of a human factors consulting group in a large corporate setting. The objective of the project is to extend the contribution of the human factors group. Their existing direct consultation on user-interface design will be combined with new methods which allow the results of those consultations to be widely accessible. The current experiments focus on design rationales and scenarios for user interfaces as the methods for communicating the expertise. In work to date, we have adapted previous research on design rationales for our new context of use. This has produced an enhanced format for recording and presenting design decisions and the reasoning process behind them. We have produced a prototype presentation system, seeded with design rationales from a large project with extensive involvement by the human factors group. This prototype is currently undergoing iterative test and refinement. We have also developed a framework for access to this information, by product engineers working on user interfaces, using complementary tables of contents within a hypertext space. These paradigms, or ways of looking at a user interface design problem, are themselves an important component of HCI expertise.

This paper discusses the requirements for a user workstation in an open network environment. The workstation implements the dialogue component of an interactive application, while the functional or computational component may be implemented on a network host machine. Distributing processing in this way is influenced by ideas from three areas: software ergonomics, software engineering, and computer networks. An initial prototype workstation is reviewed, and research issues shaping a new implementation are described.

Software design is the act of determining the user's experience with a piece of software. It has nothing to do with how the code works inside, or how big or small the code is. The designer's task is to specify completely and unambiguously the user's whole experience.

-- David Liddle, From Bringing Design to Software, edited by Terry Winograd, 1996
