Shih, Ching-Hsiang; Shih, Ching-Tien – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2010
This study evaluated whether two people with multiple disabilities who could not easily use a computer through a standard input device (i.e., mouse or trackball) would be able to improve their pointing performance using thumb poke with a standard trackball through a Dynamic Trackball-Pointing Assistive Program (DTPAP) and a newly developed…

Shih, Ching-Hsiang; Shih, Ching-Tien; Pi, Pi-Hsiang – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
The latest research adopting software technology to improve pointing performance is through an Automatic Target Acquisition Program (ATAP), where the user can click on the mouse button when a dashed line is aimed at the desired target, instead of moving the cursor to the target. However, ATAP has one limitation--it cannot benefit from Mouseover…

Shih, Ching-Hsiang; Shih, Ching-Tien; Peng, Chin-Ling – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
This study evaluated whether two people with multiple disabilities would be able to improve their pointing performance through an Automatic Target Acquisition Program (ATAP) and a newly developed mouse driver (i.e. a new mouse driver replaces standard mouse driver, and is able to monitor mouse movement and intercept click action). Initially, both…

Klappa, Peter – Bioscience Education, 2008
The benefits of a "developing" teaching style, in which a specific topic is developed on a white- or blackboard, commonly known as "chalk and talk", have been widely acknowledged. However, one of the drawbacks of this teaching approach is the transient nature of the notes. Students are reliant on the correctness of their copies for revisions,…

Donker, Afke; Reitsma, Pieter – Computers and Education, 2007
Because there is little empirical data available on how well young children are able to use a computer mouse, the present study examined their proficiency in clicking on small objects at various positions on the screen and their skill in moving objects over the screen, using drag-and-drop and click-move-click. The participants were 104 children…
