This document provides an overview of different types of human-computer interfaces discussed in a university lecture. It describes 12 interfaces: command-based, WIMP/GUI, multimedia, virtual reality, information visualization, web, consumer electronics, mobile, speech, pen, touch, and air-based gestures. For each interface, it discusses key characteristics, examples, research and design considerations. The goal is to help students understand different interface approaches and important user experience factors to consider in interface design.
Reef Check is a citizen science program that monitors rocky reefs in California. It aims to collect reliable data on nearshore reefs to provide to marine managers. Volunteers conduct annual standardized monitoring of fishes, invertebrates, and seaweed. The data is made available online through an interactive Nearshore Ecosystem Database map viewer. The map viewer allows users to easily view and compare species abundance data across sites and over time. While the data dissemination tools are innovative and user-friendly, developing web standards is needed to ensure wide usage of the data.
The document outlines topics to be covered in a curriculum and research methods class on July 15th. The schedule includes working on extended outlines, reviewing quantitative research methods which usually involve experimental and quasi-experimental designs with treatment and control groups, and discussing the Wright et al. article and case study approaches. Students are assigned to read materials and post an introduction for their extended outline.
Teachers conducted research on curriculum and literacy through action research projects. Action research involves teachers identifying problems in their classrooms, researching solutions, planning and implementing interventions, collecting and analyzing data, and drawing conclusions to improve real-life problems. The document outlines the action research process and provides an agenda for teachers to work on revising literature reviews, planning presentations, and writing intervention sections for their projects.
This document provides an overview of a curriculum and research course for literacy and language arts. It outlines that the course will focus on teaching literature and collaboration among teachers. It also discusses using an online course website for collaborative work and collecting student email addresses. Students are assigned to write a blog post answering what research means to them personally and to think of potential inquiry questions for major projects focusing on teaching literature.
Content/textual analysis examines written texts to answer specific research questions about human or social experiences. It commonly includes discourse analysis of written materials rather than spoken words. The analysis process involves selecting a data set and context, defining a theoretical framework, and then coding the text deductively or inductively to extract relevant information. The goal is to analyze the text rather than appreciate its literary aspects. The analysis can use either quantitative or qualitative methods.
Teaching research relationship literature reviewsTim Fredrick
This document discusses the relationship between teaching and educational research. It addresses how teachers can actively engage with research through collaboration, inquiry, and literature reviews. Important research concepts are defined, including the differences between quantitative and qualitative data. The typical structure of research articles is outlined, covering sections like the introduction, literature review, methodology, and findings. Guidelines are provided for how to read research with an inquiry stance by focusing on the question, assumptions, data, and applicability to teaching. The characteristics of literature reviews are examined, such as how they are organized by topics rather than sources. Teachers are encouraged to engage with research to inform and improve their own teaching practices.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.

This document provides a summary of 90 websites that can be used in the classroom in 120 minutes. It begins with some notes on copyright, student privacy, and supervision when using online tools. The bulk of the document then lists and briefly describes a wide range of free educational websites that can be used for lessons, projects, presentations, and more. These include tools for searching, videos, graphics, games, assessments, and more. It concludes by thanking attendees and providing an exit slip for feedback.
Mixed methods meta analyses planning your interventionTim Fredrick
The document discusses mixed methods research designs, meta-analyses, and literature reviews. It notes that mixed methods designs typically combine quantitative and qualitative research to provide a broader understanding of a phenomenon. Meta-analyses use statistics to examine patterns across quantitative studies. Literature reviews survey research on a topic but do not statistically analyze studies. The document also provides guidance for writing a blog post reflecting on a literature review and how it informed instructional practices, and for planning an intervention that is informed by research.
This document summarizes a lecture on usability heuristics and testing interfaces with users. It discusses several of Steve Krug's heuristics for usable interfaces, including that users don't read pages and instead scan, optimal choices are usually not needed, and interfaces should not require learning. It also describes the "trunk test" to evaluate how easily a user can understand a site when blindfolded. The document outlines methods for usability evaluation and stresses the importance of testing interfaces with users.
This document provides guidance on how to write effective learning objectives. It explains that learning objectives should describe observable and measurable behaviors or skills that students will be able to demonstrate after a learning experience. The document outlines a structure for writing learning objectives, including using an observable verb in the first part, a content noun phrase in the second part, and a description of success criteria in the third part. It provides examples of well-structured learning objectives and distinguishes them from activity descriptions. The document also defines common verbs used in the first part of learning objectives and advises avoiding verbs that are not observable.
This document summarizes the Asilomar State Beach Intertidal Monitoring Program which monitors 107 acres of coastline in California. The program partners with other organizations to conduct comprehensive biodiversity monitoring using various methods, including mapping and fixed quadrat sampling of black abalone. Results found 115 species with 4 sea star and 2 abalone species. Partnerships provide significant benefits like cost savings, involvement in long-term decision making, and public engagement through volunteer groups. The monitoring meets legal mandates and helps protect sensitive species like the endangered black abalone.
This document discusses different types of prototypes used in interaction design including low and high fidelity prototypes. Low fidelity prototypes like sketches, storyboards, and wireframes allow for quick iteration and are used early in the design process. High fidelity prototypes use materials closer to the final product and can include clickable prototypes. The document also covers when to prototype, compromises that may be needed, and tools for prototyping like wireframes which help layout content without final visual design.
This document provides an overview of the CN5111 module on usability engineering. It introduces the module team and aims, outlines the learning outcomes, and reviews the module logistics. It also gives an introduction to key concepts in usability engineering, such as definitions of usability, effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction. Finally, it discusses measuring the user experience through metrics and why metrics are important for understanding the user experience.
Discourse analysis writing literature reviewsTim Fredrick
Literature circles involve students discussing books in small groups. Two articles discuss discourse analysis and writing a literature review. Students are asked to synthesize what they learned from the articles into a one or two sentence statement for a project on literature circles. The articles discuss analyzing spoken language qualitatively or quantitatively, how language supports learning, and enacting identities in classrooms.
