This Thursday at Change, come hear about three ongoing projects in a joint CSE-HCDE course: The Ugandan Midwives' Ultrasound, ODK Data in Any Order, and MultiLearn for Seattle Area Schools. The student groups will give short presentations on their projects and there will be time for questions and discussion about each project. --------------------------- More detail on the class and the projects: In Winter quarter, students from HCDE 419 (HCI) and CSE 490D worked together on projects designing technologies for resource constrained environments. In Spring quarter, three of these projects are continuing as CSE capstone projects partnered with HCDE research groups. This Thursday we have asked the groups to give presentations on the current status of their projects to get feedback from the awesome Change community. Please join us to hear more about the projects!

ODK DAO will build on the work of ODK Collect but will attempt to allow doctors more flexibility in the way they collect patient data. --------------- Midwife's Ultrasound The Portable Ultrasound Group is working to develop a low-cost, easy-to-use, portable ultrasound device for midwives in the developing world. This project involves UI development, image analysis, and controlling peripheral devices. We are working in collaboration with Dr. Rob Nathan, a radiologist involved in the Portable Maternal Ultrasound Initiative. --------------- Multilearn In many Seattle area elementary school classrooms there are far more students than computers. The Multilearn system allows multiple students to use one computer through the use of individual keypads. We are working to expand Multilearn to provide teachers, parents, and students with feedback on students' performance through data presentation, and to expand the toolkit of interaction/games that can be used with the device. ---------------
