MRI: Acquisition of Eye Tracking System

提案编号：12- 29108 PI（s）：Holland-Minkley，Amanda机构：华盛顿和杰斐逊学院标题： MRI/采集：收购眼动追踪系统项目建议：这个项目从本科服务机构，收购眼动追踪系统，旨在增加定量措施的变化，解决问题的技术，以更传统的成果为基础的评估学生的学习。眼动追踪系统可以在设计和可用性研究中进行进一步的工作和更大的定量分析，重点关注安全软件的界面设计对软件用户的安全行为和安全功能意识的影响等问题。该机构目前的工作重点是这些方法在入门编程课程中的具体应用。信息技术领导（ITL）教师扩大了他们的研究，包括更多的移动的计算，这有助于发展与生物学教师的合作。反过来，这种合作又产生了一种在实地收集生态数据时使用的移动的应用程序。目前正在评估的测试版已经创建并部署，其中眼动追踪方法将用于确认移动的技术不仅可以更准确地收集数据，还可以让该领域的学生研究人员更好地学习和保留数据。更广泛的影响：这一唯一的本科院校核心使命专注于涉及重大本科合作的研究。特别是，国际交易日志部致力于使其专业人员能够参与重要的研究项目，使他们能够成为真正的合作者，而不仅仅是编码员或实验室技术人员。因此，随着现有的历史，从事设计和可用性研究的本科生，一个现代的眼动跟踪系统将加强该计划，使更多的学生访问。该系统将在课堂活动，实验室和独立项目中发挥作用。学生应该熟练使用该工具，并掌握在常规课程中使用该工具的适当方法。所有老年人都必须参加服务管理课程，与当地非营利组织合作提供技术咨询或开发。该系统为持续的跨学科研究提供了一个平台，包括正在进行的生物学工作和涉及政治学，性别和妇女的潜在项目。的研究，社会学和心理学。

Proposal #: 12-29108PI(s): Holland-Minkley, AmandaInstitution: Washington and Jefferson CollegeTitle: MRI/Acq.: Acquisition of Eye Tracking SystemProject Proposed:This project from an undergraduate-serving institution, acquiring an Eye Tracking system, aims to add quantitative measures of changes in problem-solving techniques to more traditional outcomes-based assessments of student learning. The eye tracking system enables pursuing further work and greater quantitative analysis in design and usability research focused on issues such as the effect of the interface design of security-focused software on the secure behaviors and awareness of security features of the software users.Current work at the institution focuses on the particular application of these methods in an introductory programming course. The Information Technology Leadership (ITL) faculty have broaden their research to encompass more mobile computing that has contributed in developing a collaboration with Biology faculty. In turn, this collaboration has given rise to a mobile application used when collecting ecological data in the field. A beta version, now under assessment, has been created and deployed where the eye tracking methods will be used to confirm that mobile technologies enable not only more accurate data collection, but better learning and retention on the part of the student researchers in the field.Broader Impacts: This solely undergraduate institution core mission focuses on research involving significant undergraduate collaboration. In particular, the ITL Department is committed to enabling its majors to take part in significant research projects that allow them to act as true collaborators and not simply as coders or lab technicians. Thus, with an existing history of engaging undergraduates in design and usability research, a modern eye tracking system will strengthen the program making it accessible to more students. The system will play a role in classroom activities, labs, and independent projects. Students should gain fluency with the tool and with appropriate methods for using it in regular coursework. A service management course will be required for all seniors to partner with local non-profits to provide technical consulting or development. The system provides a platform for continued interdisciplinary research, including ongoing work in Biology and potential projects that involve Political Science, Gender and Women?s Studies, Sociology, and Psychology.
