Inspiration – An alternative online security method using type patterns, as we all type differently
I recently came across an example of an online security method I’d never seen before. The website (for an online course) asks that the user submits a typing test every time they submit an assignment to prevent cheating.

Usability on the web – error prevention
Invision, my favourite tool at the moment, do a great job on Jakob Nielsons usability principle of “error prevention” Error prevention Even better than good error messages is a careful design which prevents a problem from occurring in the first place. Either eliminate error-prone conditions or check for them and present users with a confirmation… Continue reading Usability on the web – error prevention
