Project Proposals

RESCALE

RESCALE, “Researching Campus Learning Ecosystems,” an infrastructure for researching teaching and learning on an unprecedented scale. RESCALE re-conceptualizes the entire UBC academic community as a dynamic learning ecosystem. Its bold research objective is to support an investigation of teaching and learning across time, space, and place. This objective applies well to the enormous investments of organizations everywhere to understand and support learning in order to optimize their own learning ecosystems. Support for this research requires an innovative infrastructure, featuring wireless technology, spaces for meaningful collaboration, and leading edge technology that will support systematic data collection, analysis, synthesis and ultimately, effective dissemination of findings.

Papers

Zhai S, Kristensson PO, Smith BA (2005). In search of effective text input interfaces for off the desktop computing. Interacting with Computers 17(3):229--250 <doi:10.1016/j.intcom.2003.12.007>

Abstract: It is generally recognized that today's frontier of HCI research lies beyond the traditional desktop computers whose GUI interfaces were built on the foundation of displaypointing devicefull keyboard. Many interface challenges arise without such a physical UI foundation. Text writingranging from entering URLs and search queries, filling forms, typing commands, to taking notes and writing emails and chat messagesis one of the hard problems awaiting for solutions in off-desktop computing. This paper summarizes and synthesizes a research program on this topic at the IBM Almaden Research Center. It analyzes various dimensions that constitute a good text input interface; briefly reviews related literature; discusses the evaluation methodology issues of text input; presents the major ideas and results of two systems, ATOMIK and SHARK; and points out current and future directions in the area from our current vantage point.
