MRI: Acquisition of Eye Tracking System

提案#：12-29108 PI(S)：荷兰-明克利，阿曼达机构：华盛顿和杰斐逊学院标题：核磁共振/Acq.：获取眼球跟踪系统项目建议：这个由本科生服务机构发起的项目，获取眼球跟踪系统，旨在将解决问题技术变化的量化测量添加到更传统的基于结果的学生学习评估中。眼球跟踪系统能够在设计和可用性研究中进行进一步的工作和更多的量化分析，重点放在以安全为重点的软件的界面设计对软件用户的安全行为和安全特征的认识等问题上。该机构目前的工作集中在这些方法在入门编程课程中的具体应用。信息技术领导力(ITL)教员扩大了他们的研究范围，涵盖了更多的移动计算，这有助于与生物学教员开展合作。反过来，这种合作又催生了一种移动应用程序，用于收集野外生态数据。目前正在评估中的测试版已经创建和部署，其中将使用眼球跟踪方法来确认移动技术不仅使该领域的学生研究人员能够更准确地收集数据，而且能够更好地学习和保持。广泛的影响：这个唯一的本科生机构的核心任务专注于涉及重大本科生合作的研究。特别是，国际交易日志系致力于使其专业能够参与重要的研究项目，使他们成为真正的合作者，而不仅仅是程序员或实验室技术人员。因此，凭借现有的让本科生参与设计和可用性研究的历史，现代眼球跟踪系统将加强该项目，使其能够为更多的学生所接受。该系统将在课堂活动、实验室和独立项目中发挥作用。学生应该熟练地使用该工具，并掌握在常规课程中使用该工具的适当方法。所有高年级学生都需要参加服务管理课程，以便与当地非营利组织合作，提供技术咨询或发展。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研究和潜在的项目，涉及政治学、性别和妇女？S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.
