Fitzpatrick, Geraldine, Kaplan, Simon M., Mansfield, Tim, Arnold, David and Segall, Bill (2002): Supporting Public Availability and Accessibility with Elvin: Experiences and Reflections. In Computer Supported Cooperative Work, 11 (3) pp. 447-474.

We provide a retrospective account of how a generic event notification service called Elvin and a suite of simple client applications: CoffeeBiff, Tickertape and Tickerchat, came to be used within our organisation to support awareness and interaction. After overviewing Elvin and its clients, we outline various experiences from data collated across two studies where Elvin and its clients have been used to augment the workaday world to support interaction, to make digital actions visible, to make physical actions available beyond the location of action, and to support content and socially based information filtering. We suggest there are both functional and technical reasons for why Elvin works for enabling awareness and interaction. Functionally, it provides a way to produce, gather and redistribute information from everyday activities (via Elvin) and to give that information a perceptible form (via the various clients) that can be publicly available and accessible as a resource for awareness. The integration of lightweight chat facilities with these information sources enables awareness to easily flow into interaction, starting to re-connect bodies to actions, and starting to approximate the easy flow of interaction that happens when we are co-located. Technically, the conceptual simplicity of the Elvin notification, the wide availability of its APIs, and the generic functionality of its clients, especially Tickertape, have made the use of the service appealing to developers and users for a wide range of uses.

Kincaid, J. P., Thomas, Margaret, Arnold, David and Lindeis, Ann-Elise (1991): Use of Voice Technology for Language Training. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 35th Annual Meeting 1991. pp. 1385-1389.

This paper describes the Language Technology Project at the University of Central Florida. The Goal of this project is to develop, evaluate, and commercially produce language courseware and training techniques for personal computers (PCs), including IBM and Macintosh, equipped with voice interfaces. The primary emphasis of the Language Technology Projects has been in the development of demonstration courseware. The second area is the evaluation of courseware, including research regarding effective computerized instructional strategies. Informal field-testing of one package in an Orange Country (Florida) elementary school suggests that the style of instruction is readily compatible with students as young as the first garde. Several studies have also provided insight into instruction design.
