    Description/Abstract:
    Decisions made by user interface designers play an influential role in how people interact with software, this is especially true when it comes to the creation of tools to support teaching. As technology continues to play a more prominent role in schools, it poses an important question about how the design of learning tools influence what teachers do in classrooms. Data analytics is one opportunity technology offers for teachers to foster collaboration in student groups. Data analytics have the potential to provide teachers with a live view of what students are doing when using technology, which research shows is challenging to implement in classrooms. This paper focuses on the process to design a tool that assists engineering discussion session teacher assistants (TAs) to monitor collaboration within groups. We report on findings from interviews with TAs on what they anticipate they would need in order to support group work, and discuss how their responses influenced the design of this tool.

  • A Study on Design for Diagnostic Tool for Language Processing Ability with Aging

    Article
    Description/Abstract:
    The deterioration of linguistic abilities is a natural phenomenon along with aging. Therefore, various assessment tools have been developed to measure linguistic abilities of seniors and diagnose degenerative diseases such as dementia. Although most of the tools are composed of images, there are not many studies focusing on the visual design, which could significantly affect performance of the subject. In this regard, this research aims to suggest a design guideline for linguistic ability assessment tools concerning the key characteristics of the elderly, focusing on visual contents and interface. Existing related researches were mostly conducted in English-speaking countries. In order to assess the language processing abilities of Korean-speaking elders more accurately, it is necessary to develop language processing assessment tools that reflect the unique linguistic features and structure of the Korean language. Regarding the existing tools, there is a lack of research on aging, focusing on ‘verb naming. In the literature review section, the paper investigated the physical, cognitive and emotional characteristics of the elderly and extracted the key elements to consider when designing for the elderly. Also, design principles were found based on case studies and problem analysis of the existing assessment tools for language processing abilities. Lastly, we created a prototype model using ‘verb naming.’ Using the model, we have conducted an experiment and comparative analysis between different age groups to verify the validity of contents. In conclusion, we provided a design guideline for visual contents and interface of linguistic assessment tools, focusing on elderly users.

  • Identifying Print/Microfiche Holdings for Online Resources

    Description/Abstract:
    Presentation presented at the Ohio Valley Group of Technical Services Librarians on May 19, 2015. Many libraries are withdrawing materials from their government documents collections. The University of Cincinnati Libraries began their withdrawal project by withdrawing tangible materials which had corresponding online equivalent versions. This presentation will explain the catalog search strategies to identify print/online equivalent materials in a collection when starting a withdrawal project. It will also discuss how a library can easily continue this as an ongoing process. There will be information provided on how all new GPO e-resource records are run against a script that identifies if the library owns a tangible equivalent, which then could be a candidate for withdrawal

  • Population Extinction in Experimental Protozoan Population Networks

    Dataset thumbnail: Population Extinction in Experimental Protozoan Population Networks
    Type:
    Dataset
    Description/Abstract:
    The data stored in this collection were collected during a series of 3 experiments I conducted between 2013 and 2014 to evaluate the effects of population-level extinction within spatial population networks. For each experiment, I used experimental protozoan population networks (microcosms) that used the common pond species Paramecium caudatum as the focal organism. Each network contained five populations aligned linearly and connected to one another through a migration corridor (see image files). The experiments were similar in their basic methods. For example, each experiment consisted of three 10-day periods: pre-extinction, extinction, and reestablishment. In addition, each experiment used 8 networks: four treatment networks and four control networks. During the 10-day extinction period, extinction was maintained on the center population of 4 treatment networks. During the reestablishment period, the center population was allowed to reestablish. The 4 control networks had no extinction imposed. During each experiment I estimated the density of each population within all networks daily as the mean number of paramecia captured in three 0.25 mL samples. The data included in these files shows these density estimates. All calculations used to assess changes in population abundance and dynamics due to extinction were derived from these density estimates. Additional background for each of the 3 experiments (e.g., how the experiments differed) can be found in the ReadMe file. Detailed methods and results from each of these experiments are documented in Chapters 3, 4, and 5 of my dissertation (see Dissertation file).

    Description/Abstract:
    During the last three years new leadership at the University of Cincinnati (UC) in many senior administrative positions has resulted in a rare culture of collaboration. This presentation will focus on the dynamic that has evolved among the Dean of Libraries, Vice President for Information Technology, and the Vice President for Research; discuss the development of the Research Hub@UC, which will deliver a profile-based customized suite of programs to researchers and scholars throughout the lifecycle; and explore a specific initiative (Scholar@UC) that demonstrates the depth of collaboration and its impact on the partners’ cultures, particularly the libraries’ at all levels. UC’s research support ecosystem has been disjointed, incomplete, ignored, or simply hidden. To grow the university’s research enterprise, these leaders realized that support programs throughout the research lifecycle had to be improved, expanded, and promoted. Presenters will discuss the successes and challenges of bridging different work cultures, funding development in a fiscally austere environment, and establishing collaborative models for operational support. To demonstrate the value and challenges of the partnership, including its impact on the cultures of each partner, presenters will explore two projects that have been enabled by the partnership, including the aforementioned Research Hub@UC and Scholar@UC, a faculty self-submission repository. Using these as case studies, presenters will discuss how agile (including open source) software development projects and broad system integration needs have enabled the partners to develop nimble, user-driven processes and a strong sense of risk taking to deploy new enterprise-wide systems in an environment of lean staff and resources.
