This system focuses on creating hypermedia presentations for educational use, specifically for correcting English composition. It enables students to submit writing, uses speech instructions, and allows for synchronized presentation and random access features. The system also includes spatial correlations such as free-form handwriting and tele-pointer movements, along with temporal correlations for smoother interaction. Experimental results include speech turn clustering, random visual event access, and undo functionality. A user study conducted in Spring 2006 showed favorable reactions to the system's usefulness and design, indicating its potential for practical applications.

WMA: A Marking-Based Synchronized Multimedia Tutoring System for English Composition Studies By Herng-Yow Chen and Kuo-Yu Liu Presented by Brett Lilley
Evolution of the Web • Hypertext: • Document with hyperlinks to other documents • Content-based • Hypermedia: • Hypertext with graphics, audio, video • Time-based
Problem Statement Creation of hypermedia presentations for educational use. Focus on correcting English Composition
Creating Hypermedia • Authoring • Media Correlation • Publishing • Integration
Better Educational Solution – Presentation Recording • eClass • Authoring on the Fly
Web-Based Multimedia Annotation (WMA) System • Enable students to submit writing via the Web • Capture speech instructions • Capture the navigation events • Hot Keys • Mouse Operations • Ensure synchronized presentation with automatic navigation features • Enable random access throughout the hypermedia document
Temporal Correlation • Discrete Media • Navigation Events • Continuous Media • Speech • Random Access Between the Two
Spatial Correlation: Tele-Pointer • Discussion Clues • Capturing/Storing Issues
Tele-Pointer Movement Interpolation • Interpolation Smoothing Algorithm • Number of Interpolated Pointers • Distance Interval • Timestamp and Positions • Time Interval - Crucial
Undo Facilitation • Timestamps of events do not match speech stream timestamps • Recording is contiguous – cannot delete on-the-fly • Delete during speech-event binding
Experimental Results:Undo Functionality • Compare Against Manually-Created Speech Segments • 71% Match – Lower than Random Access
Experimental Results:Tele-Pointer Interpolation • Interviewed 20 Students • >80 ms = Decreased Fluidity and Sickness • 50 ms Used in WMA
Experimental Results: User Study • When: Spring 2006 • Where: Computer Science and Information Engineering at Chi Nan University • Who: 2 instructors, 27 Ph.D. students, 25 graduate students
Survey Results • Favorable reactions to perceived usefulness of WMA • Integration of emerging technologies for learning is attractive to students • Favorable reaction to design and features.
Conclusion • Overall system evaluation is good for practical applications • Learners get what they put in • Improvements can be made by customizing the Speech-Event Binding process
