Bodily dimensions of reading and writing practices on paper and digitally

2015

The bodily aspects of reading/writing practices are investigated in Finland.The paper is considered more adaptive to varied reading purposes than the screen.Handwriting is described as a more flexible and relaxed practice than typing.Skills determine less than materials and images the practices of reading/writing.Digital interfaces determine the ways we read and write less than suggested. This article investigates the different shapes in which reading and writing practices occur when paper/pen are compared with keyboard/screen. The focus is on the bodily aspects of these practices. Reading and writing are viewed as techniques of the body, which over the years have become increasingly mediat…

Usage des organisateurs anti-entropique dans les documents électroniques : approche expérimentale des fenêtres ponctuelles

1999

International audience; Les documents électroniques permettent de nombreuses manières d'organiser, de présenter et d'accéder à l'information. Une utilisation pertinente de ces options par les auteurs requiert une bonne connaissance des effets que ces choix ont sur la représentation cognitive et les traitements faits par l'utilisateur. Cette approche des documents électroniques, sur la base du concept de représentation mentale, fournit un cadre d'analyse des structures et signaux propres à ce type d'écriture. Parmi ces signaux que nous appelons « organisateurs para-linguistiques » pour les distinguer de leurs équivalents purement textuels, un ensemble est destiné à réduire l'entropie due à l…

Pop-Up Windows and Information Retrieval

1997

Communication affichée; International audience; Paralinguistics organizers such as parenthesis, footnotes, and pop-up fields on screen, should play an important role signalling the writer's “minimization” intention when secondary points are concerned. This experiment investigated the role of pop-up fields compared to brackets in an information retrieval task. The results showed that, in this kind of task, putting secondary pieces of information into pop-up fields significantly speeded the search process compared to a condition in which the same information was displayed in brackets.

Intégrer des informations en escamots dans les textes techniques : quels effets sur les processus cognitifs ?

1998

Though computerized sytems now offer a wide range of options for accessing and displaying text or text-picture information, little is known about their effects on the user's cognitive processes. In this paper, we investigate the effect of a computer-specific display (pop-up window) which consists in displaying some pieces of information in windows that appear only under user's action. Experiments were carried out to compare the pop-up window device with other devices used on paper. The experiments dealt with text only as well as text-picture documents and involved various tasks. Results are discussed from a theoretical and a practical point of view.

Conception et utilisation de documents électroniques : le point de vue de l'utilisateur

2000

This presentation aims at studying the role of para-linguistic organizers used to design technical texts on screen. We are focusing on text setting devices, especially the parenthesis, the footnotes, the more explicit text type statements (such as «Example : » before a text part) and the pop-up windows. Methods of experimental psychology were used in order to analyse written texts and also to study the influence of para-linguistic organizers on the reading process (memorisation and information retrieval). The initial idea is that it is possible to analyse a technical text into units according to the writer's intention of communication (to emphasize or minimise the relative importance of a t…

The virtual reconstruction of the minaret of Mansourah mosque (Algeria)

2015

This contribution synthetically addresses some of the photogrammetric solutions available today in the field of architectural-archaeological survey and the related applications outcome, evaluated during both the acquisition phase of metric data than in those of effective yield of refunds infographics. Therefore, we have focused on the virtual reconstruction of one of the most emblematic and symbolic building of the Algerian culture, the mosque of Mansourah, returning the minaret as it appeared before its partial collapse, namely correspondent in geometry, textures, and colours. The work is part of a larger research project to promote knowledge and dissemination of Algeria cultural heritage,…

Documentação digital da arte rupestre: apresentação e avaliação do método em dois sítios de Monte Alegre, Amazônia, Brasil

2013

Um dos aspectos mais importantes no estudo da arte rupestre é a documentação. No Brasil, são raros os trabalhos que apresentam os métodos e as técnicas empregados na documentação deste tipo de vestígio arqueológico. Grande parte dos estudos publicados no país está voltada para a classificação, a terminologia, as definições crono-estilísticas, interpretações e comparações entre conjuntos gráficos. Atualmente, a fotografia digital e os programas de manipulação de imagem constituem ferramentas de grande utilidade e precisão para a documentação da arte rupestre. Este artigo apresenta os resultados da aplicação do método do decalque digital na Amazônia, desenvolvido pelo Departamento de Arqueolo…

Ergonomie des documents techniques informatisés : expériences et recommandations sur l'utilisation des organisateurs para-linguistiques

1998

Despite an increasing development, the design of computerized documents is still based on intuitive or esthetics concerns, rather than on experimental evidence. However a large body of literature has investigated the effects of various display factors, both on a perceptual and on a cognitive level. We propose here a review of research and its implication on the design of computerized documents.

Conception de documents numériques : Parcours méthodologique

2009

There is a strong social demand for studies of digital document. Yet our models of society and education are struggling to integrate issues related to these types of documents. However, the subject is less than half a century old, and so it is hardly surprising that the writing and training practices are just being developed. Like the book, the digital document involves many different skills and techniques in its development. The list of jobs tends to grow steadily: ergonomists, referencing specialists, information architects, programmers, designers, integrators ... It is therefore difficult to have a global view on all this know-how and the related methodologies. This special edition seeks…
