An interface design for a structured computer-mediated communication tool for elementary school students: pull-down versus explicit menus.

The article examines the effectiveness of using a structured computer-mediated communication (CMC) tool for elementary school students in Great Britain. To foster and guide students' online interactions, several researchers suggested that CMC tools be structured by integrating a restricted set of sentence openers. In guiding elementary school students, complete sentences with blanks to fill in instead of sentence openers were used in structuring a CMC tool. And four categories of predefined on-task statements were embedded in the CMC collaborative learning system component.

Si bien este articulo no habla propiamente sobre su aplicación en restaurantes, nos da una idea sobre la interfaz en la que puede ser creado el menú, tecnológicamente hablando.
