The objective in developing AISTK was to gather these algorithms under a toolkit and make them easily usable by students or other users.
The IRT-Buggy is intended to be usable by students in an educational context, but also to serve as a serious experimental platform for control engineering research, with no conceptual drawbacks compared to a "real" passenger vehicle other than the obvious limitations due to size, power or achievable speed.
Interestingly, the Tablet PC platform rendered the 'MyTest' application more useful and usable to the students, validating our claims.
Their goal is to create an inexpensive, extremely usable printer for students and those on a budget.
Both a book with highly usable chapters for students and innovative chapters that further the research agenda, the editors are to be commended for taking on such a challenge and providing the research community with a go-to book for anyone approaching the sticky subject of culture and disasters.
They obviously lacked the needed level of details to make them usable by the students in their practice.
It remains to be seen whether parents will buy into these types of platforms as a viable alternative to online or actual, live, in-person (gasp!) tutoring, but the more these types of platforms provide teachers with real, usable tools to assess student progress and retention, the better.
"When we bring them out, they'll be sent off for freezing, to stop any mould growth, and ultimately our aim will be to restore those and make them usable again for the students and researchers we have here," said Chappell.
Finally, it's only polite to offer "still usable" reagents to new students.
Learning analytics (Siemens & Long [2011]), a discipline still in its formative stages, appears to be relished by some as a way of creating such an application but by others as a means of decentralizing control, making information more usable by teachers and students.
