This Thursday at Change we will be hosting Undergraduate Research Day! Three CSE undergrads will be giving short presentations on their current research in ICTD. The presenters and projects are as follows:
- *Jeff Beorse* will be talking about his work on the ODK Collect user interface. In the current interface, each question type has a single available appearance. Jeff is working on designing new display options, with a focus on organizing multiple choice questions more efficiently, especially when fitting multiple questions on a single page. His goal is to discover whether offering a few display options would allow users to create forms that are easier to understand and quicker to complete. - *YoonSung Hong* will be discussing his work on ODK Tables. ODK Tables is an application for hosting a relational database on a smart phone that supports SMS-based interactions and allows import/export of tables to other storage whether in the cloud or on another local computing device. The objective of ODK Tables is to lower barriers experienced by entrepreneurs or other information providers in the developing world to field their own information services. - *Krysta Yousoufian* will be discussing her work on the Smart Connect project. Smart Connect is a system that allows rapid communication to and from rural health clinics via SMS. Krysta has been working to develop a pilot application for Vietnam that provides vaccine stock management and and monitors the temperature of a vaccine refrigerator. Please join us for sandwiches, and to support undergraduate research in ICTD! *What:* Undergraduate Research Day *When:* Thursday, May 12th at noon *Where:* Paul Allen Center, Room 203 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
