Updated April 20, 2001
Summer 2000. “Ventures”
funding from Lehigh University.
Multimedia:
· Design prototype user
interface.
Done. (Martin)
· Audience and task analysis
of the OOSE module.
Done. Available
on web site.
· Design prototype of OOSE
module.
Script of ADT lesson done. (Harriet
and Glenn) See http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/~cimel/designDocs/ADTscript.doc.
·
Design
graphical representation of personae.
Prototypes of professor, librarian and teaching assistant
personae graphics done. (Harriet)
Evaluation:
· Develop surveys to determine
demographic data, learner characteristics styles, pre-tests and post-tests for
the OOSE courses.
Done, for CS1 and OOSE courses. Morgan will be creating new surveys.
Registrar responded to Harriet’s request for demographic
data; Morgan needs to determine whether what Registrar will provide is
sufficient.
· Teach OOSE (Fall 2000)
courses at Lehigh University with limited multimedia, assign and gather course
related projects, administer surveys, gather pre-test and post-test data.
Done, for CS1 and OOSE courses.
· Evaluate course related
projects, surveys, pre-test and post-test data.
Not done, but see year 1. Morgan has evaluated the data, see http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/%7Ecimel/eval/ReviewPanel/SurveyWriteup.htm.
· Write and submit proposals
to publishers for dissemination.
Attempted for CS1 course, but hit wall. Betsy Jones has recently released outright
permission to use all material in The Universal Machine.
Collaborative networking:
·
Specify
network interface for reference librarian persona. (Kessler)
Done. See
http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/~cimel/designDocs/Network_Interface_Spec.htm.
Textual Data Mining:
·
No year zero milestones specified, but Bill and students have worked on
design of integration and user profiling.
·
See plan in http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/~cimel/papers/textmining.htm.
Other:
·
Lost All-State support, received letters of industrial support from
Frank (Bill), Lutron (Glenn).
·
Web site for project, designed by Soma Roy, implemented by David Sosna
and Glenn
(http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/~cimel/).
·
PIs and key students have met with Sharon Siegler, reference librarian,
to discuss how she helps students with inquiry-based learning projects and how
she would use a collaborative networking environment. More meetings planned for May and June.
Multimedia:
· Implement prototype of OOSE
module, user interface, personae graphics and requirements for personae
behavior.
Done, hopefully be end of next week (Martin, Soma and Glenn).
See http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/~cimel/prototype.html.
· Assemble review panel to
evaluate analysis and design (and prototype).
See http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/%7Ecimel/eval/ReviewPanel/ReviewPanelNotes.htm.
Recruited OOSE
experts (Yossi Gil of Technion, Christine Hofmeister), Lutron students,
students in Glenn’s multimedia design class (Glenn)
Develop survey to get feedback on prototype (Glenn, Morgan
and Harriet),
See http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/%7Ecimel/eval/ProjectSurveyFeb2001.htm.
Conduct and evaluate survey using panel members and students
in multimedia course. (Morgan, Harriet & Glenn).
See http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/%7Ecimel/eval/ReviewPanel/SurveyWriteup.htm.
Plan meeting(s): early February?
· Rework and complete analysis
and design of OOSE module, user interface, personae graphics and requirements
for review panel feedback.
Preliminary versions of these materials are available and
should be posted on our web site
for panel. Panel
should make sure that analysis of the OOSE module content is complete.
· Implement alpha version of
OOSE multimedia module incorporating alpha version of reference librarian
behaviors and networking capability.
Script writing for another lesson of OOSE module can
begin soon (Soma).
Implementation starts when script for each lesson is
available.
Target date for alpha version of OOSE module is August 2001.
· Design & implement alpha
version of multimedia module for CS1.
Analysis by May, script writing and implementation begins in
June, alpha done in August.
Evaluation:
· Analyze year 0 surveys.
Done (Morgan and
Debra). See http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/~cimel/eval/EvalFall2000.htm.
· Determine and specify data
to track for evaluation of programs.
Morgan and student(s) from Lehigh? David Gevry and Martin
Herr?
· Develop rubrics for analysis
of performance-based assessments based on criteria from proposal and program
analysis.
Morgan.
· Identify test and control
groups at Lehigh, and other campuses, possibly with assistance of publisher or
software vendor.
Panel might be able to help here? Should be determined for beta.
· Conduct interviews and focus
groups of students in OOSE and CS1 classes for
evaluation.
Morgan and Soma.
Collaborative networking:
· Design and implement
networking subsystem for remote reference personae that maintains causal
ordering of communication.
· Define semantic interface
components for communication with the reference librarian personae.
· Design and implement alpha
version of interface support for “show me” interaction and integrate with networking
subsystem.
Drew and student need to determine timeline for above
milestones. Maybe refine milestones?
Textual Data Mining:
· Design and implement alpha
version of data mining server.
·
Bill and David Gevry have determined
timeline. See http://www.eecs.lehigh.edu/~cimel/papers/textmining.htm.
Other:
·
Respond
to Anita about REUs (Glenn and Bill).
Done.
·
Inform
NSF of changes in industrial support and plans (no Allstate funding, CS1
instead of AITDM, detailed in this document).
·
Maintain
project web site.
·
Report
to NSF in August or September (Glenn, with input from Bill and Drew).
· Project team meetings every three weeks? (Sub-project meetings weekly.) (Glenn)
