Using augmented reality to enhance children’s books
(Department of Computer Science, The University of Waikato, 2018)This paper reports a case study on using Augmented Reality in children's books in which we explored the use of various types of interactions at different levels. The paper describes the design process and the insights ... -
Using avatars and virtual environments in learning: What do they have to offer?
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2009)This paper explores and discusses arguments for the use of virtual environments and interactive avatars in supporting the achievement of student learning goals within conventional educational contexts. It describes and ... -
Using behavioural specifications to support model-checking
(The University of Waikato, 2019)Safety-critical interactive systems provide many benefits for human daily life, but erroneous safety-critical interactive systems can lead to serious consequences to the users. Thus building these systems requires that we ... -
Using biotechnology to develop values discourse in school science
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2020)Biotechnology, broadly defined, is the manipulation of living organisms, or parts of living organisms or systems, for specific purposes of benefit to humankind. As such, it has been practiced for centuries—from early ... -
Using Captain Scott's discovery specimens to unlock the past: has Antarctic cyanobacterial diversity changed over the last 100 years?
(Royal Society, 2017)Evidence of climate-driven environmental change is increasing in Antarctica, and with it comes concern that this will propagate to impacts on biological communities. Recognition and prediction of change needs to incorporate ... -
Using cases for school principal performance standards: Australian and New Zealand experiences.
(Faculty of Education, University of Waikato, 2000)This article reports an international validation of a framework for performance standards for school principals. The framework, generated in Australia in 1996-1997, was applied in New Zealand in 2000. The framework involved ... -
Using character-grams to automatically generate pseudowords and how to evaluate them
(Oxford University Press, 2019)This paper provides a practical solution to the problem of generating (good) pseudowords, which are commonly used in vocabulary testing and experimental research in applied linguistics, and introduces an empirically founded ... -
Using choice experiments to assess smallholder farmers' preferences for pig breeding traits in different production systems in North-West Vietnam
(Elsevier, 2008)Livestock form key components of the livelihood strategies of many of the world's poorest people. However, despite the potential to alleviate poverty and improve food security through livestock development interventions, ... -
Using choice experiments to explore the spatial distribution of willingness to pay for rural landscape improvements
(2007-03)We report findings from a choice experiment survey designed to estimate the economic benefits from policy measures which improve the rural landscape under an agri-environment scheme in the Republic of Ireland. Using a panel ... -
Using classification to evaluate the output of confidence-based association rule mining
(Springer, 2005)Association rule mining is a data mining technique that reveals interesting relationships in a database. Existing approaches employ different parameters to search for interesting rules. This fact and the large number of ... -
Using collaborative CoRe design in chemistry education to promote effective partnerships between associate and student teachers
(Chemistry Education in New Zealand, 2011)This article is a follow-up to my paper published in 2010 (Hume, 2010). In that paper I reported on the use of Content Representations (CoRes) in a chemistry education course to give student teachers insights into the ... -
Using compression to identify acronyms in text
(University of Waikato, Department of Computer Science, 2000-01)Text mining is about looking for patterns in natural language text, and may be defined as the process of analyzing text to extract information from it for particular purposes. In previous work, we claimed that compression ... -
Using context to solve the correspondence problem in Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping
(Springer Berlin, 2004)We present a method for solving the correspondence problem in Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) in a topological map. The nodes in the topological map are a representation for each local space the robot visits. ... -
Using cooperative education and work-integrated education to provide career clarification
(International Council of Associations for Science Education, 2011)When students commence university studies they typically choose subjects that are of interest to them, and hold only vague notions of intended career paths. However, some universities offer work-integrated learning degrees ... -
Using Coq to Enforce the Checks-Effects-Interactions Pattern in DeepSEA Smart Contracts
(2021)Using the DeepSEA system for smart contract proofs, this paper investigates how to use the Coq theorem prover to enforce that smart contracts follow the Checks-Effects-Interactions Pattern. This pattern is widely understood ... -
