- Comparing Classroom Note Taking across Multiplatform DevicesKim, Kibum; Turner, Scott; Pérez-Quiñones, Manuel A. (Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2004)Many educators have suggested that note taking can be beneficial for the students' educational growth. Note taking is the core activity for students in a classroom and there been a large amount of research conducted, both from industry and from academia, into facilitating the note taking process. As such, there are many available systems for taking notes. However, what has not been given as much attention is how different devices, such as Tablet PCs and PDAs, effect this task. In this paper, we study students' current note taking behavior and the changes caused by the use of different platforms for this activity. Our goal is to provide ideas and general design guidelines for future note taking systems.
- Using a Tablet-PC to Provide Peer-Review CommentsPérez-Quiñones, Manuel A.; Turner, Scott (Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2004)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.
