This review will examine the potential use of Internet resources
by people with learning disabilities.
A series of specific guidelines are then presented which document the
state of the art on the production of websites, and online multimedia
and virtual reality related content for people with a learning disability.
For each checkpoint, indicate whether the checkpoint has been satisfied,
has not been satisfied, or is not applicable.
Each checkpoint has a priority level assigned by the Working Group based
on the checkpoint's impact on accessibility.
The structural aspects in designing Web documents to accommodate cognitive
disabilities are accomplished by providing variety in the navigation tools
a site uses. accessibility, learning disability.

This study examines empirically two potential factors, familiarity
and structure, that interact with delay speed in predicting user performance,
attitudes, and behavioral intentions.
In the words of Sears and Jacko, "delays will be a concern for many
years to come" (p. 49).
To summarize, an ideal, universal depth or breadth of a Web site cannot
be determined, although most studies have found that users prefer, and
perform best with, a "broad" structure with 8-9 items per menu
in interactive systems.

Respondents have consistently identified slow page downloading
as an important problem with the web.
To reduce page downloading time, avoid large graphics and, generally,
use few graphics.
Effects of System Response Time Page downloading time is an example of
what researchers have termed system response time (SRT), which is the
time taken by a computer system to respond to user actions such as keystrokes
and cursor movements.

Abstract -- Wireless ad hoc sensor networks have emerged as
one of the key growth areas for wireless networking and computing technologies.
Extensive delay measurements on our iPAQ-based prototype sensor node platform
reveal the small overhead of SensorWare to the algorithms (less than 0.3msec
in most high-level operations).
In this section we only consider work that tries to make WASNs programmable
using active sensor concepts.
http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~wuchi/
RSN does not seek to provide a scripting environment with an associated sensor node resource model for use by scripts, and (iii) RSN's notion of mobility is download oriented, as opposed to SensorWare's approach of a script which can autonomously spawn scripts to remote nodes. sensor, mobile.2opt
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi calls these exceptional moments flow
experiences.1 Flow can occur in practically any activity, including browsing
the web.
Flow is a positive, highly enjoyable state of consciousness that occurs
when our perceived skills match the perceived challenges we are undertaking.
In 1996, Hoffman and Novak extended Csikszentmihalyi's work to consumer
navigation on the web.
People who experience flow tend to be more playful,29 exploratory,30 and
willing to try new things.
The authors warn that playful people in flow can take longer to complete
tasks, although staying longer on your web site isn't necessarily a bad
thing.

Users can experience flow only if their trips through cyberspace feel seamless, with fast response, immediate feedback, and few distractions. flow, Novak.mm-brochure

Through review of web sites, publications, and interviews with
users, the following themes were identified as central to a critical review
of how a web site is structured.
A site developed specifically for scientists engaged in a topic will differ
in both the level of cognitive language and the level of critical consideration
from a site developed for a general audience.
Is the design "hiding" its purpose from the audience or clearly
revealing who it is for and why?

One of the most common errors that I see, which is the cause
of long download times, is the site designer's neglect to optimize the
page's images.
DO: Resize the image in an image-editing program to the size you want
and then insert it in the web page.
DO NOT: Resize your image in a web site design program.
When an image-editing program is used to resize an image, and the resized
image is saved in either a .gif or a .jpeg format, a completely new image
is created.
The great thing about the JPG format is that the compression process identifies

The access structure of many websites is casual and idiosyncratic,
causing frequent dangling references.
You might say that there are three facets to the Web: Data -- what information
is offered through the site and what are the conceptual details and the
logical organization; Hypertext -- how data is arranged in pages and what
navigation links correlate them; Presentation -- the appearance of each
piece of information on each pages.
Forty years ago people realized that in an application it is often the
case that there are many records with the same structure; files and file
technology were invented to exploit this fact.
