“…This method is suitable as it is a quick and easy approach that is able to collect relevant data from a cohort that spans multiple modules and it is an effective method for evaluating user interfaces and software (Caltenco et al 2012;Fitzpatrick et al 2011;Root and Draper 1983).…”

This paper is a report of an investigation in which mobile technologies were used during large lecture-type sessions in tandem with the Textwall™ software. This online program is able to receive and present messages from students' devices that the lecturer may then share. It also can be used to collect student votes on multiple-choice questions, facilitating dynamic formative assessments during class. A study has been undertaken around the MyWallMate mobile application. This program has been developed by Liverpool John Moores University to expedite the process of sending messages and votes to Textwall™. Results of this study indicated that students had a positive reaction to both Textwall™ and the MyWallMate application. They reported being more comfortable in expressing their opinions via the MyWallMate mobile application and felt that using mobile technology within their lectures enhanced their learning. It has been concluded that the use of mobile technologies and BYOD-type approaches are avenues worth further exploration in global higher education.

“…Nevertheless, coverage of the qualitative aspects of new ATs, such as BCIs, in the scientific and technical literature is sparse. The few existing publications are limited to devices already on the market after completion of the design phase, with or without considering the end-users’ opinions [2,22]. This issue is critical considering that many ATs, often supported by public and private funds, never leave the laboratory where they are developed, and those that do leave the laboratory are abandoned at alarming rates (35–75%) [3–4].…”

Qualitative assessment of Tongue Drive System by people with high-level spinal cord injury

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Tongue Drive System (TDS) is a minimally invasive, wireless, and wearable assistive technology (AT) that enables people with severe disabilities to control their environments using tongue motion. TDS translates specific tongue gestures into commands by sensing the magnetic field created by a small magnetic tracer applied to the user’s tongue. We have previously quantitatively evaluated the TDS for accessing computers and powered wheelchairs, demonstrating its usability. In this study, we focused on its qualitative evaluation by people with high-level spinal cord injury who each received a magnetic tongue piercing and used the TDS for 6 wk. We used two questionnaires, an after-scenario and a poststudy, designed to evaluate the tongue-piercing experience and the TDS usability compared with that of the sip-and-puff and the users’ current ATs. After study completion, 73% of the participants were positive about keeping the magnetic tongue-barbell in order to use the TDS. All were satisfied with the TDS performance and most said that they were able to do more things using TDS than their current ATs (4.22/5).
