  1. Cimel: User Interface Synergy Presented by: Shreeram Sahasrabudhe (sas4@lehigh.edu) Research Assistant, CIMEL Multimedia Team

  2. User Interface - Take 1 • Embedded track list (Very slow and non-scalable) • Similar square buttons

  3. User Interface - Take 2 • XML based track list – Faster, Scalable • Bookmarks tab added – future use • More logical and individualistic buttons • ( Made by Lutz Brothers and supported by our surveys and focus groups over the earlier square ones )

  4. User Interface - Now • Bookmarks tab removed –wasn’t missed and consuming real estate • Added Screen and Chapter meter(s) • The Windows Task Bar is visible • Text box colors

  5. Effort Time Developer work (Individual Movies) • More Additions: • Audio level control added • Bug Report – message with userID, time, current screen logged on server • For the Developer: • Embedded audio Dynamic audio • Audio, text, textbox colors, etc done by • functions calls • Textbox width automatically adjusts to fit • given text • Textbox visibility now controlled

  6. Text box colors

  7. Emerging Trends • As multimedia movies • Expected use of Explore button • For better integration: • Should we have a menu in explore button? What should it be? • Or should User Interface give more information to present appropriate ‘Emerging Trends’ movies? • Some movies are inquiry based exercises, how do these connect to goals of Emerging Trends? Discussion

  8. Collaborative Tool(s) • Tool(s) in development • Currently brings up a slide show of features Integration Issues: • What will “Collaborate” button invoke? • Should new multimedia features (e.g. Volume control), be also affect the tool(s)? Vice versa? • Should multimedia recommend that learner look at specific materials in MFAQ archive?  Can there be links?" Discussion

  9. Current and future work… • Documentation Updates: • We have recent updates of multimedia developer documentation on the server /Cimel/Developer Documentation/on server and atwww.cse.lehigh.edu/~cimel/devel/index.html • Extensive documentation on user interface to be done • Improvements to User Interface: • Custom background colors for comfort and attention • Find button implementation
