| Abstract | With the introduction of increasingly sophisticated presentation technology into the classroom, including multimedia projectors, VCRs, document cameras, and digital whiteboards, a user interface is required to permit instructors control over the various devices. These interfaces typically suffer from inattention to human factors design principles or a general ignorance of the context in which they are intended for use. While the cognitive demands on an instructor necessitate a user interface that involves minimal interaction and poses minimal distraction, we often find that performing a task as simple as playing a video tape requires over a dozen steps through the classroom control system. Thus, instructors often find the interfaces distracting to the primary task, i.e. delivering an effective lecture, rather than encouraging the use of helpful visual aids made available by the technology. |
