Pilot: Let Your Notes Come Alive: The SkRUI Classroom Sketchbook

该项目为创新教育开发了一个增强创造力的工具，为平板电脑开发了一个电子实验室笔记本应用程序，学生可以在其中将图形和手写笔记以电子形式结合起来。学生和他们的老师建立的草图识别系统可以理解图形示意图。学生们带着他们的电子实验室笔记本从一个班级到另一个班级；该应用程序研究用户的上下文，以确定学生最可能在其中绘制的领域。这种主动可视化的新模式将增加学生对图形材料的理解。该工具允许学生绘制手绘图形，就像他们在纸上绘制到平板电脑上一样，计算机可以使用提供模拟、反馈和搜索功能的草图识别系统自动识别这些图形。该工具将通过观察和采访进行评估，以确定学生在使用素描工具时是否更具创造力。这项工作将通过一种新的可视化模型帮助学习过程，实时模拟学生的手绘草图，最终用于教授从幼儿园到研究生的所有级别的学生。

This project develops a creativity enhancing tool for innovative education by building an electronic laboratory notebook application for a tablet PC in which students can combine graphical and handwritten notes in electronic form. The graphical diagrams are understood by sketch recognition systems built by the students and their teachers. Students take their electronic laboratory notebooks from class to class; the application studies the user's context to determine the most likely domain in which the student is drawing. This new model of active visualization will increase students' understanding of the graphical material. This tool allows students to draw free-hand drawings, just as they would on paper into a tablet PC, that are automatically recognized by the computer using sketch recognition system that provides simulation, feedback, and search capabilities. The tool will be evaluated by observation and interview to determine if the students are more creative when using the sketching tool. This work will aid the learning process through a new visualization model for real-time simulation of the students' hand-drawn sketches, ultimately being used to teach students at all levels from kindergarten to graduate students.
