John M. Carroll
Born on 1950 9 (age 69
years) Studied in Columbia University who was Influenced by Noam Chomsk. his
fields Include Human-Computer Interaction. John Carroll is a professor of
Computer Science and the director of Virginia Tech's Human-Computer Interaction
Lab. Dr. Carroll's research in
human-computer interaction consists of the design concepts for usable systems
and software, instructional and educational systems, usability of
object-oriented software and the history of technology. Although Dr. Carroll is currently a Computer
Science professor, his educational background lies in mathematics, information
systems and experimental psychology. His
work in psychology allowed him to observe learning and design activities, discovering
that the prescribed structural methods for such activities were very
different. The difficulty experienced by
new users of a technology was exacerbated by too much of the wrong type of
support rather than not enough support.
Dr. Carroll is a pioneer of learning in computer-networked environments
and is the leader of the Learning in Network Communities (LiNC) project. John
M. Carroll is Edward Frymoyer Chair Professor of Information Sciences and
Technology at the Pennsylvania State University. His research interests include
methods and theory in human-computer interaction, particularly as applied to
networking tools for collaborative learning and problem solving, and the design
of interactive information systems. His books include Making Use (MIT Press,
2000), HCI in the New Millennium (Addison-Wesley, 2001), Usability Engineering
(Morgan-Kaufmann, 2002, with M.B. Rosson) and HCI Models, Theories, and
Frameworks (Morgan-Kaufmann, 2003), Rationale-based software engineering
(Springer, 2008, with J. Burge, R. McCall and I. Mistrik), and Learning in
Communities (Springer, 2009). He serves on several editorial boards for
journals, handbooks, and series and is Editor-in-Chief of the ACM Transactions
on Computer-Human Interactions. He received the Rigo Award and the CHI Lifetime
Achievement Award from ACM, the Silver Core Award from IFIP, the Alfred N.
Goldsmith Award from IEEE. He is a fellow of the ACM, IEEE, and the Human
Factors and Ergonomics Society.
Questions.
1. Time sharing allows
many users to share computer resources simultaneously and it is being
integrated in different field/domain. Where do you think the integration of
time sharing is most utilized? (if it is utilized) if not, where do you think
it is most suitable to be integrated?
Answer - It is more
utilized in the field of teaching in which there is what we called distance
education. In this kind of set both students and teachers are interacting with
the computer and this is their medium of communication. But probably it is more
utilized in the social media platform like Facebook wherein everyone can access
multiple data at the same time anywhere.
2. Choose at least three
example of paradigms and explain its usability in the academics and provide an
example.
Answer 1. Video Display Unit
(VDU) – it is very usable example of paradigms in terms of academics because it
is more often used techniques displaying your PowerPoint Presentation on a
wider screen by only using a device called digital projector example in reporting’s
by means of students or a teacher. 2. Personal Computing – also one of best example
paradigms used in academics because every teacher needs to have personal
computers in order to generate data and reports as well as grades of the
students. 3. Time Sharing – also one the best example of paradigms used in academics
because in many forms most students and teachers are using time sharing for
example accessing data online when teachers are giving research assignments.
