**19. Coalescence Theory and biorheology**

Coalescence Theory (CT) states: "in a situation where entities, events, actions, reactions, interactions and other influences are interlinking, they will cluster together as a unique construct and then may form a system of unique constructs within a unique, three– dimensional space continuum that is 'gooey–dough–like'" (Ronczka, 2006). In Table 3 the supporting hypotheses have been detailed (Table 3) as they are likely to apply to biorheology (Answers, 2010; Senese, 2005).

Recognition rather than recall: system assists user to remember information

Changes in State: for flexible exploration of the content through a variety of controls

Information Access: provides users information access with the controls to conduct

Interface Consistency: users' ability to "scroll around" within text and audio segments

Tool Availability: presenting users with interaction mechanisms (Jones et al., 1995).

Communication: can only proceed by the interpretations of behaviours, common

Metaphor: such as a new idea is created from the fusion of the two original ideas, or our

 User System usage comprises: D1: concepts the user knows and uses; D2: concepts used only occasionally and not initially known; D3: the user's model of the system (i.e. the set

To assess interface effectiveness an Heuristic Evaluation is utilised as prime metrics:

Visibility of system status: system with feedback within reasonable time.

What is suggested is that the concepts of user interface design ideally allows:

Closure: concept of closure of information within a learning environment

Interactive Tools for Interactive: tools for interacting with the information

Progressive Disclosure: keeping information within learning environment

Effective: means of communication which has proven itself in practice?

behaviours? (Wagner et al., 2001; Eiter et al., 1999; Phan Luong, 1999).

Mental models: that are cognitive based for human-computer interaction

Media Integration and Media Biases: more easily explained

Modelling the Process and Coaching the User: coaching the user

 Searchability and Granularity: how chunks of media are stored Unfamiliar Territory: provide users with visual or verbal cues

Selection Indicators: marks a user's selection of information

Metaphors: what information is contained

 Visual Momentum: maintains a user's interest Way Finding: user verbal and symbolic information

The Semiotic interface has specific requirements:

pre-established: human-defined ontology rely upon?

Control Types: interaction controls

 User control and freedom: system offers control when mistake made? Flexibility and efficiency of use: system is flexible and efficient?

Consistency and standards: system follow conventions?
