Synchronous e-voting systems (commonly known as ‘clickers’) have become increasingly popular as they can be used to enhance interactivity in lectures. Asynchronous electronic surveys (AESs), unlike these voting system, usually serve as a method of gathering feedback before or after teaching sessions. This paper describes and evaluates a project involving the use of AES with an integrated follow...

Technology Supported learning Systems have proved to be helpful in many learning situations. These systems require an appropriate representation of the knowledge to be learned, the Domain Module. The authoring of the Domain Module is cost and labor intensive. A novel DOM-Sortze is a system that uses natural language processing techniques, heuristic reasoning, and ontology for the semiautomatic ...

Electronic consent becomes increasingly popular in the healthcare sector given the many benefits it provides. However, security concerns, e.g., how to verify the identity of a person who is remotely accessing the electronic consent system in a secure and user-friendly manner, also arise along with the popularity of electronic consent. Unfortunately, existing electronic consent systems do not pa...

This paper describes the process of data preparation and reading generation for an ongoing project aimed at improving the accessibility of unknown words for learners of foreign languages, focusing initially on Japanese. Rather then requiring absolute knowledge of the readings of words in the foreign language, we allow look-up of dictionary entries by readings which learners can predictably be e...

Quantifying cell biology in space and time requires computational methods to detect cells, measure their properties, assemble these into meaningful trajectories. In this aspect, machine learning (ML) is having a transformational effect on bioimage analysis, now enabling robust detection multidimensional image data. However, the task of tracking, or constructing accurate multi-generational linea...
