Description

Research has shown that effective navigation contributes to website usability; however, researchers don't agree about what constitutes the best form for links. Students from two sections of Technical Communication (Eng 271) completed tasks requiring that they navigate Ucompass using either graphic links or underlined text links. Software developed for this study measured task success as well as time to complete a task. Participants completed a pre-test and a post-test questionnaire.
