Currently undertaking Honours Research in Information Technology with Southern Cross University in New South Wales Australia.
Research Abstract
Whether for work, study or personal reasons, more and more people are turning to the Web for information. On the other hand, more and more websites come into existence. What makes people chose one website over another? Research shows that ease of navigation for information search (searching process) plays an important role in choosing websites. How can ease of navigation be assessed? It is widely accepted that it can be measured by means of cognitive load.
This research investigates the effectiveness of applying cognitive load theory in navigation design for improvement of searching performance.
