This article presents the findings of a preliminary study exploring the performance of systems development in a faceto-face setting in relation to a dispersed setting using television video conference. The study finds that systems development in the dispersed setting using television video conference can produce at the least same performance as in the face-to-face setting. It indicates that bet...

Global Software Development (GSD) projects are characterized by the fact that work is distributed throughout many geographically distanced sites. Software engineering activities in such scenarios face various challenges. Although interpersonal communication is crucial if a common understanding with regard to the system under construction is to be achieved, time separation, cultural diversity an...

Modern communication technologies enable recruitment interviews to be held remotely through the use of video conferencing. However, the effective deployment of such services, at a standard comparable to traditional face-toface interviews, requires an integrated hardware and software environment to support a wide range of activities during recruitment interviews. In this paper, we present a syst...

There have been no reports concerning the self-face perception in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). The purpose of this study was to compare the neuronal correlates of viewing self-face images (i.e. images of familiar face) and stranger-face images (i.e. images of an unfamiliar face) in female adolescents with and without AN. We used near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure hemodynamic r...

a r t i c l e i n f o While cyberbullying shares characteristics with face-to-face bullying, there is a uniqueness of online interaction that makes it more pervasive and the impact longer-lasting. Cyberbullying should be understood within a broader context of online activities and how adolescents perceive of what is permissible in the online space. This study investigated the relationship betwe...

Introduction: Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have some impairment in emotional relationship which can be due to problems in emotional processing. The present study investigated neural correlates of early stages of emotional face processing in this group compared with typically developing children using the Gamma Band Activity (GBA). Methods: A total of 19 childre...

Several studies have attempted to compare students’ performance in online classes with face-toface classes. Less attention has focused on professors’ experiences of and attitudes towards teaching online. While many professors, including human-computer interaction (HCI) educators typically supplement their face-to-face classes with an online component, few HCI classes are taught totally via the ...

Large horizontal displays provide new opportunities to support individual and collaborative activities such as creativity and organizational tasks. We present Interface Currents, a fluid interaction technique designed to support face-to-face collaboration by improving access to and sharing of workspace items. Interface Currents are flexible containers that provide a controllable flow of interfa...
