Teaching with Student Response Systems (SRS): Teacher-Centric Aspects that Can Negatively Affect Students' Experience of Using SRS
Kjetil L. Nielsen; Gabrielle Hansen; John B. Stav
Research in Learning Technology Vol. 21, No. 3 (2013)
In this article, we describe and discuss the most significant teacher-centric aspects of student response systems (SRS) that we have found to negatively affect students' experience of using SRS in lecture settings. By doing so, we hope to...

Evaluating Gaze-Based Interface Tools to Facilitate Point-and-Select Tasks with Small Targets
Henrik Skovsgaard; Julio C. Mateo; John Paulin Hansen
Behaviour & Information Technology Vol. 30, No. 6 (2011) pp. 821–831
Gaze interaction affords hands-free control of computers. Pointing to and selecting small targets using gaze alone is difficult because of the limited accuracy of gaze pointing. This is the first experimental comparison of gaze-based interface tools ...
