Two evaluation perspectives on usability analysis
The usability evaluation of a multimedia interactive application can be tackled along two main complementary perspective: a domain-dependent approach (focussing on the specific requirements of the application), and a domain-independent approach, looking at the quality of those design characteristics which can be evaluated independently by the specific domain knowledge and scenarios.

Davide at The Open University - UK
On Tuesday last week I had the opportunity to visit The Open University in Milton Keynes (1 hour north of London)
to give a talk on my current research about usability and bioinformatics.
Talk abstract >>>
My visit was hosted by Prof. Bashar Nuseibeh, at the Department of Computing.
I enjoyed the company of the colleagues and interesting discussion during the talk.
Then, Bashar kindly took me to visit other parts of the Open campus,
and particularly the Knowledge Media Institute, a highly innovative research centre
in new technologies for education, communication and knowledge management.

Storytelling design for Mechatronic at TEC-Lab
My colleagues at the TEC-lab at the University of Lugano
have just designed a storytelling web application
for an industrial customer: Mechatronic.
You can access the website at:
http://www.mechatronic.unisi.ch/
The application development exploits an effective and usable storytelling design pattern and content management system developed at University of Lugano and Politecnico di Milano.
