As interactive hypermedia systems take an increasingly prevalent role in the workplace, at home and on the web, their usability becomes vitally important to meeting the expectations of users and fulfilling the promise integrating technology into daily life. Quality and Communicability for Interactive Hypermedia Systems: Concepts and Practices for Design explores ways to overcome obstacles to successful communication from theories of communicability to the various levels of design and integration. With a heuristic focus on how current system design affects user understanding, this reference source goes beyond simple usability and fills an important gap in present research by illustrating the importance of communicability in modern technological advancements.
