Full papers

In most conferences there is a limitation in the number of pages that can be submitted for publication. But some of my papers amounted to more than this limit. Here you can find the full papers:

  • The full paper of "Cognitive Graphical Jogthrough" (Adobe.pdf). The limited version has been published in IASTED-AI 2000 in Innsbruck, Austria.
    Tip: You have to download it as well, if you downloaded the CGJ "Evaluator's Questionnaire" template and you intend to perform a CGJ evaluation...
  • The full paper (40 pages) of the chapter in the book "Usability Evaluation of On-Line Learning Programs". An analytical approach of the usability evaluation of instructional environments, with good theoretical part. (Word.doc - 1 MB!). For copyright reasons, I do not provide here the published, but only the full paper ;-)
