Abstract:

The software interface is the point of interaction between the user and the application. The users' level of computer skills may influence perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the software directly as well as indirectly manifested in performance. The interface plays an important role in amplifying these relationships. These phenomena have been studied mainly within the command based and direct manipulation interfaces.
