This paper introduces novel ways of improving awareness and reflection through visualizations of badges as an abstraction of learning analytics data. We report initial findings with both a personal dashboard approach, Navi Badgeboard, that provides details on student and class progress, and a collaborative, interactive tabletop visualization, Navi Surface, to promote group reflection. We evalua...

The U.S. federal government continues to struggle with improving web accessibility for people with disabilities, despite the fact that Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act has required accessible websites for the federal government since 2001. Researchers have struggled to understand Section 508 due to the lack of transparency in implementation of the law. This article provides two contributio...

The multimodal presentation dashboard allows users to control and browse presentation content such as slides and diagrams through a multimodal interface that supports speech and pen input. In addition to control commands (e.g. “take me to slide 10”), the system allows multimodal search over content collections. For example, if the user says “get me a slide about internet telephony,” the system ...

The relevance of network-based approaches in systems biology to achieve a better understanding of biological mechanisms has increased enormously. The Biological Expression Language (BEL) is well designed to collate findings from scientific literature into biological network models. To facilitate encoding and biocuration of such findings in BEL, a free and user-friendly web-based curation interf...

Research on the agile and adaptive enterprise promotes real time dashboards as a powerful tool to provide coordination and control. Recent trends in market volatility have led firms to restructure around what organizational theorists term an “adhocracy”. Service oriented architecture represents an emerging architectural mechanism to align an organization’s processes with the flexible structure ...

In response to legal and accreditation mandates as well as pressures from purchasers and consumers for quality improvement, hospital governing boards seek to improve their oversight of quality of care by adopting various practices. Based on a previous survey of hospital presidents/chief executive officers, this study examines differences in hospital quality performance associated with the adopt...

This research seeks to identify online participants’ disposition and skills. A prototype dashboard and annotation scheme were developed to support facilitators and several computational predictors were identified that show statistically significant correlations with dialogue skills as observed by human annotators.
