title: Designing a user interface and computer screens for instruction: some considerations.
abstract: Computer-assisted instruction and interactive videodisc are being used more often in allied health sciences education and medical training. Because computer graphics screens can enhance both legibility and readability, an effective computer interface for instruction is basic to the design and development of both. This article discusses guidelines on legibility, which includes the use of graphics, type and text, contrast, and color.
