IVR Test & Survey: A computer program to collect data via computerized telephonic applications

Internet and telephonic IVR mixed-mode survey for longitudinal studies: choice, retention, and data equivalency.

PURPOSE This study examined data equivalency and loss to follow-up rates from Internet and interactive voice response (IVR) system surveys in a prospective-cohort study. METHODS 475 limited-service restaurant workers participating in the 12-week study were given a choice to report their weekly slipping experience by either IVR or Internet. Demographic differences, loss to follow-up, self-repo...

Using Personal Digital Assistants to Collect Survey Data

New technologies for computer-assisted survey information collection (CASIC) are being developed as graphical user interfaces, mouse/pen-based computing, handwriting recognition, hand-held computers, and use of the Interact become more widespread (Connett, Mockovak and Uglow, 1994; Gilluly, 1994; Nichols and Apple, 1994; Shanks, 1994; Forster and Snow, 1995; Hansen, 1996). The utility of these ...

construction and validation of a computerized adaptive translation test (a receptive based study)

آزمون انطباقی رایانه ای (cat) روشی نوین برای سنجش سطح علمی دانش آموزان می باشد. در حقیقت آزمون های رایانه ای با سرعت بالایی به سمت و سوی جایگزین عملی برای آزمون های کاغذی می روند (کینگزبری، هاوسر، 1993). مقاله حاضر به دنبال آزمون انطباقی رایانه ای برای ترجمه می باشد. بدین منظور دو پرسشنامه مشتمل بر 55 تست ترجمه میان 102 آزمودنی و 10 مدرس زبان انگلیسی پخش گردید. پرسشنامه اول میان 102 دانشجوی س...

Ripple: a program to collect and analyze digital topographic sequences

Program Partitioning for a Control/data Driven Computer Program Partitioning for a Control/data Driven Computer ?

The paper examines the problem of dataaow graph partitioning aiming to improve the eeciency of macro-dataaow computing on a hybrid control/data driven architecture. The partitioning consists of dataaow graph synchronization and scheduling of the synchronous graph. A new scheduling algorithm, called Global Arc Minimization (GAM), is introduced. The performance of the GAM algorithm is evaluated r...
