EniSpace: Evaluating Navigation in Information Space

McCall, Roderick; Benyon, David

Abstract

Traditional methods of evaluating usability such as heuristic evaluation and cognitive walkthrough do not address all issues relating to navigation. This is despite the fact that designing effective navigation within electronic spaces is now considered an important issue. The research presented here describes the development of the ENiSpace system which is a software package aimed at allowing people to evaluate the navigational properties of electronic spaces. The software includes reporting features and supporting documentation and is based on a checklist. ENiSpace is also intended to be used to inform the design of electronic spaces
