Goals (1/2)Goals (1/2)
•Provide student app for ConferenceXP to complement Presenter
•Create research platform for note taking–hard to extend existing note taking
applications–our attempted remedy
BSD Open Source licensePlug-in architecture
Goals (2/2)Goals (2/2)
•Forge novel application• Aggregate functionality previously available only in
separate apps• Formative evaluation in an academic (and possibly
DoD training) setting
SummarySummary
•What is different?– Gestural UI– Collaboration– Archiving and history
playback– Interoperates w/ rest of
Conference XP– BSD open source license
Collaboration ImplementationCollaboration Implementation
•N-way synchronous document & annotation sharing
•Scalability
• Uses ConferenceXP for multicast
• Classroom variant has only one sender, so better scalability
•Symmetric: Any participant can exit and rejoin easily
•Collaboration metadata incorporated into document
Collaboration metadata providesCollaboration metadata provides
•Control over your own notes– Privacy– ACL's (who can modify?)
•Mining– Author ID integrated into the system
•Filter by user– Querying, for example:
What user wrote a particular stroke? (querying stroke for user info) Which strokes were written by a particular user? (filtering by user) When did who write what? (filtering by time)
Collaborative note taking – future Collaborative note taking – future workwork
• Easier collaboration startup• Easily fall back to
asynch. collaboration when user not available
• Figure out how each person’s doc looked at a specific time (people may have added ink at the same time, but the other person’s ink didn’t get imported until later)– Also show other docs open at the same time
