As mobile devices like the iPad and iPhone become increasingly commonplace, touchscreen interactions are quickly overtaking other interaction methods in terms of frequency experience for many users. However, most these have been designed general, typical user. Trends indicate that children using (either their parents' or own) entertainment learning activities. Previous work has found key differences how use touch surface gesture modalities vs. adults. In this paper, we specifically examine...
In this paper, we describe the challenges encountered and solutions developed while collecting mobile touch gesture interaction data in laboratory conditions from children ages 5 to 7 years old. We identify several of conducting empirical studies with young children, including study length, motivation, environment. then propose validate techniques for designing protocols age group, focusing on use gamification components better engage studies. The increased our task completion rates 73% 97%....
Abstract The high-fat, high-calorie diets of westernized cultures contribute to the global obesity epidemic, and early life exposure antibiotics may potentiate those dietary effects. Previous experiments with mice had shown that sub-therapeutic antibiotic treatment (STAT)—even restricted life—affected gut microbiota, altered host metabolism, increased adiposity throughout lifetime animals. Here we carried out a large-scale cohousing experiment investigate whether STAT untreated (Control)...
Face-to-face design with child and adult partners is not always possible due to distant geographical locations or time differences. Yet we believe that the designs of children in areas co-located system builders, who live easily accessed, are just as important valid accessible especially when designing for a multinational audience. This paper reports on prototype process DisCo, computer-based tool enables intergenerational co-designers collaborate online asynchronously while being...
In this paper we describe a three-tiered model for delivering computing education professional development K-12 teachers.Through three-week summer program middle and high school teachers, aimed to improve in our local district.Our workshop focused on introducing the Big Ideas of Computer Science through activities including HTML, E-Textiles, Cybersecurity, Robotics.During first week workshop, teachers were taught how use technologies.In following weeks led camp girls.The assessment results...
Surface gesture interaction styles used on modern mobile touchscreen devices are often dependent the platform and application. Some applications show a visual trace of input as it is made by user, whereas others do not. Little work has been done examining usability feedback for surface gestures, especially children. In this paper, we present results from an empirical study conducted with children, teens, adults to explore characteristics without feedback. We find that gestures generated...
Engineering education has evolved from providing students solely with technical skills to them courses that provide the non-technical "soft skills". Among soft desired by employers are student's ability receive and respond feedback, manage multiple requirements, work in multidisciplinary teams. The use of Capstone Computer Science been a means aforementioned experiences prior graduation. We define implement model for an educational video game design development course provides real-world...
T-cell responses to hepatitis C virus (HCV) antigens have been reported in high-risk HCV seronegative persons, suggesting that an effective cellular immune response might be able clear infection without the development of antibodies. Such findings, however, could explained by waning antibody or cross-reactivity other antigens. To address these issues, we evaluated HCV-specific 26 young (age 18-33 years) aviremic, injection drug users (IDUs) (median duration injection, 6 interferon-gamma...
Most touchscreen devices are not designed specifically with children in mind, and their interfaces often do optimize interaction for children. Prior work on has found important patterns, but only focused simplified, isolated interactions, whereas most more visually complex. We examine how interface complexity might impact children's interactions. collected touch gesture data from 30 adults (ages 5 to 10) look similarities, differences, effects of complexity. Interface affected some primarily...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) have historically used race-specific prediction equations. The recent American Thoracic Society guidelines recommend the use of a race-neutral approach in There are limited studies centering opinions practicing pulmonologists on race spirometry. Provider opinion will impact adoption new guideline. aim this study was to ascertain beliefs academic pulmonary and critical care providers regarding as variable spirometry <h3>METHODS:</h3> We...

We introduce a design technique, Clear Panels, to interactive mobile device applications. Using mixed-fidelity prototyping, combination of low- and high-tech materials, participants refine multiple aspects application's design. Panels supports writing sketching via transparent overlay affixed atop screen. It enables partners their gesture-based interactions on actual devices. The technique has been successfully implemented in the children's leverages extends longstanding interaction methods...

One of the primary goals teaching is to prepare learners for life in real world. In this ever changing world technologies such as mobile interaction, cloud computing, natural user interfaces, and gestural interfaces like Nintendo Wii Microsoft Kinect people have a greater selection tools task at hand. Teachers students can leverage these improve learning outcomes. Educational software are needed ensure that new serve clear purpose classrooms homes future.
The growth of online social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, and Linked-In has transformed the way in which individuals establish maintain relationships for both business entertainment. In this paper we present analysis a similar network that was used to foster cross-cultural awareness among users ages 14--17. provided students across globe with an environment identities, explore their own culture peers who were located three different countries.
