There will be no class on Wednesday (April 28th). So if you have any questions or anything, let me know. Here are the ways to contact me!

We will go over the final on Apr 26, Monday so try not to miss the class that day.

Would you like to take part in a study about Emotion Recognition for Affectively Intelligent E-Learning Technologies?
You are invited to share your personal experiences.

• Compensation will be provided for participation up to $25.00!
• Sharing your personal experiences of what it is like for you will assist us to develop better e-learning systems
• Your participation will take about half an hour of your time where you will be asked to complete a series of questions/problems
• Study will be conducted by appointment from April 20, 2010 through May 15, 2010.

Phase #1 is due on March 23
Final Report is due on April 11
There is no change on presentation schedule.

Project Phase #2 (due Mar 23)
First go over your Phase #1 based on the comments I made and then add:
Requirements Specifications
Define the user profile (WHO your users are), Define Functional (HOW it will function), Environment and Context (WHERE and WHEN it will be used), and Task Requirements (WHAT will be done)
And what do you need to meet these demands.

Project Phase #1 (due Mar 12)
Evaluate the exiting interface design and identify the issues

• Project Plan
  Review your project schedule provided with your Proposal and explain your project management strategy as explained on class on Mar 1st
• Evaluation
  Expert Review / Usability Testing / Survey Design and/or Implementation / Evaluations plan to manage the design process. Expert Review is required, the other methods are optional.

You can see your midterm grades on WebCampus along with your estimated Mid-Semester Letter Grades.
These letter grades are based on over 35 points (5 for proposals, 20 for midterm, and 10 for class participation). You class participation points are not final, it can still fluctuate in either way.

Midterm test will include chapters 1 through 5 inclusive. In other words, it covers all class from the beginning to Feb 17 (inclusive).
The test will be open source, you can bring your notes, books, slides, computer (as long as you do NOT connect to Internet).
If you have any questions email me at bayburtm@unlv.nevada.edu
And remember, if you were in the class physically and mentally, then you do not need to study. I will test not how much you can memorize but how much you have learned.
I will make a brief review on Monday's class on Feb 22.

Also I would like you choose a Project Manager (or you can call Team Leader, Team Manager, or whatever) for your Group. S/he will be responsible of coordinating the group and the project and s/he will be my primary contact for your teams.

Because the majority of you has the cognates related with security issues, I wanted to add this topic of "HCI viewed from the Intersection of Privacy, Security, and Trust" to our content. You can check out the updated the schedule.
