You've Got Mail! Calendar, Weather and More: Customizable Phone Access to Personal Information
We present a design and a prototype of a system that provides access to calendar, email, weather, and news information over a phone using a VoiceXML interface. The system provides quick access to personal information, while enabling but not requiring interactivity. As one major application, we envision the system being used while commuting to work. At home, users define their preferences regarding content and order of presentation using a website. On the road, the personalized audio feed plays like a radio news show. Instead of commercials, the user is reminded of today's meetings, deadlines and listens to the email inbox
Using a Tablet-PC to Provide Peer-Review Comments
This reports describes our initial exploration in using a Tablet-PC to provide peer-review comments in the first year Computer Science course. Our exploration consisted of an informal evaluation of how students write comments on other students assignments using three different methods: pen and paper, a Tablet-PC, and a desktop computer. Our ultimate goal is to explore the effect that interface style has on the quality and quantity of the comments provided
Designing of a Community-based Translation Center
Interfaces that support multi-lingual content can reach a broader community.
We wish to extend the reach of CITIDEL, a digital library for computing
education materials, to support multiple languages. By doing so, we hope that
it will increase the number of users, and in turn the number of resources. This
paper discusses three approaches to translation (automated translation,
developer-based, and community-based), and a brief evaluation of these
approaches. It proposes a design for an online community translation center
where volunteers help translate interface components and educational materials
