COMPUTER SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM - Wednesday, June 23, 1982.
Dean Thompson of Computer Communications Networks
Group, University of Waterloo, will speak on "Telidon
Page Creation and Database Design."
TIME: 3:30 PM
ROOM: M&C 5158
ABSTRACT
While one can achieve many interesting and useful ef-
fects on a Telidon terminal screen, there are in-
herent limitations which are placed upon the informa-
tion content of a Telidon database by the nature of
the medium. This colloquium will examine these limi-
tations and other aspects, such as:
- the use and misuse of colours
- page lay-out
- special effects, including animation
- aesthetic vs functional graphics
- intelligible user-promopts
- databases for naive users.
Coffee and refreshments will be served at 3:00 PM.
