Abstract
The goal of this study was to contribute to the body of empirical research on how users comprehend expository information presented in hypertext documents on the Web, to help authors find methods for enhancing user comprehension and perceptions of use, and to look specifically at the effect of local navigational cues in hypertext documents using a Web-based methodology. Subjects participated in this study remotely. Preliminary results indicate effects for navigational cues on comprehension as well as correlations between several user characteristics and performance.
