This effort involves the redevelopment of the hectograph duplicating method. The overall product is directed toward application in impoverished schools, which currently possess little or no capability to reproduce classroom materials. This initial report considers the opportunity for redeveloping and applying this antique technology, specifically describing lessons learned from interactions in a field test in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The importance of this paper also involves the possibility that the profession of Human Factors Engineering, with its unique component of attention to social limitations and human capabilities, is well prepared for such retrospective development efforts. This poster session is intended to provide lessons learned from ou' initial attempt to optimize and evaluate usability in this unusual interface environment.
