Mary Dyson
Senior Lecturer in the Dept of Typography & Graphic Communication, University of Reading, UK. She studied experimental psychology leading to a PhD in perception, and now teaches Electronic Publishing and various psychological aspects of typography and graphic communication. Her main research area is screen legibility, conducting experiments into typographical factors which affect reading from screen. She has been involved in various work evaluating technology from a user's perspective, including multimedia in museums, online access to collections, and web sites. In her teaching, she has developed material for a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), which is used to supplement lectures. This work together with supervising two research students investigating the design of VLEs, has led to the talk to be given at the conference.
