•Use consistent navigation
tools throughout an interface with extra and bolder navigation queues
–e.g. consistent navigation
areas, bolded headings, etc.
•Avoid fly out dynamic menus
–e.g. those menus that
appear and disappear depending on where the mouse is moved
•Group information into
meaningful categories but do not use a deep hierarchy and limit the number of
items in lists
–May seem hard to achieve -
conflict of ideas?
•Avoid scroll bars or minimize the need for
scrolling
–e.g. make web pages look
like real pages
•Provide only one open
window. Pop-ups or multiple overlapping windows should be avoided
•Provide redundancy in access to
features
–e.g. redundant links,
alternative methods of access, multi modal access, DTMF key presses that do the
same as speech commands on a phone system
•Provide ample time to read information
under time dependent constraints
–e.g. older people may need
more time
