Gloria Gery
Gloria Gery coined the phase "Electronic Performance Support System" in the late 1980s. Her thought provoking book by the same name (1991) sparked a movement that synthesizes user-centered design, usability, information architecture and more, toward a design for computer-mediated work environments that ensures business performance through human performance.
