  • Using provenance to aid document re-finding

    Creator:
    Lonsdale, Heather
    Abstract:
    In the field of Human-Computer Interaction, provenance refers to the complete history and genealogy of a document. Provenance can be useful in identifying related resources, such as different versions of the same document or resources used in the creation of a new document. Though methods of provenance collection and applications...

  • Constructive induction for improved learning of boolean functions

    Creator:
    Drake, Peter (Peter Dudey), 1970-
    Abstract:
    Supervised learning programs, such as decision tree learners and neural networks, often must learn Boolean functions. The concept being learned may not easily be expressed in terms of the atomic features given. Constructive induction automatically produces higher level features (combinations of the atomic features), which can improve learning performance. The...

  • Engineering Student Perspectives of a New Required Programming Course

    Creator:
    Garcia Ramirez, Jessica
    Abstract:
    We present student perceptions of a new first-year engineering programming class that was designed by informed research practices. While the College of Engineering at Oregon State University saw a lot of major switching in the first year, there were not many students switching into computer science (CS). This could have...

  • Inclusive Software Design and Its Methods for Beyond-WIMP User Interfaces

    Creator:
    Fallatah, Abrar
    Abstract:
    While digital inclusivity researchers and software practitioners have been trying to address exclusion biases in Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers (WIMP) user interfaces (UIs) for a long time, little has been done to investigate if and how inclusive software design and its methods that have been devised for WIMP UIs...

  • An Analysis of the Effectiveness of an Online Inclusive Design Curriculum Through the Lens of Inclusive Design PCKs

    Creator:
    Vellanki, Aishwarya
    Abstract:
    The online computer science classroom is growing, but there is little research on how to teach inclusive design online. As a result, online CS students are graduating without learning how to avoid bias in their software designs. Through the lens of the Inclusive Design Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), this thesis...

  • How crabs walk and what can robots learn from it?

    Creator:
    Shen, Nuocheng
    Abstract:
    Simulation has provided much design inspiration for the field of robotics. While many astute ideas can be computationally formulated, there are some good structures in animals that people call “biologically-inspired”. Many robots are designed based on natural creatures such as crabs, spiders, etc. Before we can take full advantage of...

  • Investigating the Impact of Teaching Inclusive Design Concepts on Ecampus Students’ Mindsets

    Creator:
    Garcia, Rosalinda
    Abstract:
    Although computer science (CS) education researchers and practitioners have found ways to improve CS classroom inclusivity, few researchers have considered inclusivity of online CS education. We have begun developing a new approach that we term “embedded inclusive design” to address inclusive CS. The essence of the approach is to integrate...

  • Investigating the Effect of Using Mobile Touchscreen Device on Children's Tactile Skills

    Creator:
    Almurshed, Rana
    Abstract:
    To users, mobile touchscreen devices have appealing characteristics; among these characteristics is intuitiveness, which leads to mobile devices being used almost everywhere by almost everyone to accomplish almost anything. This statement, to some degree, holds for children too. Despite touchscreen devices’ intuitiveness and popularity, we don’t know much about how...

    Brown, Darren
    Abstract:
    How can rigorous forms of testing be supported in a way that is both compatible with the visual aspect of visual programming languages, and usable by the audiences using those languages - even when the audience has no background in software engineering? Visual programs are likely to contain at least...
