work life boundary management and the personal digital assistant
Human Relations, 2007Co-Authors: Annis G. Golden, Cheryl GeislerAbstract:New mobile information and communication technologies are of special interest to researchers seeking to understand the problematic of boundaries between work and personal-life. This study examines how workers used and interpreted the personal digital assistant (PDA) as a boundary management resource. Using a protocol that combined structured, closed-ended questions with open-ended questions, 42 users were interviewed. The data were analyzed to examine individuals' practices in using this technology, the interpretive resources they drew upon, and the ways in which the spirit of the device's design intersected with their practices and interpretations. Results suggest that the spirit of the device is control, and that users interpreted their technological practices as expressions of personal agency, using the PDA to control the work—life boundary through both integration and segmentation of work and personal-life.

the use of a personal digital assistant for wireless entry of data into a database via the internet
Surgical Endoscopy and Other Interventional Techniques, 2002Co-Authors: D L Fowler, N Hogle, F MartiniAbstract:Background: Researchers typically record data on a worksheet and at some later time enter it into the database. Wireless data entry and retrieval using a personal digital assistant (PDA) at the site of patient contact can simplify this process and improve efficiency. Methods: A surgeon and a nurse coordinator provided the content for the database. The computer programmer created the database, placed the pages of the database on the PDA screen, and researched and installed security measures. Results: Designing the database took 6 months. Meeting Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requirements for patient confidentiality, satisfying institutional Information Services requirements, and ensuring connectivity required an additional 8 months before the functional system was complete. Conclusions: It is now possible to achieve wireless entry and retrieval of data using a PDA. Potential advantages include collection and entry of data at the same time, easy entry of data from multiple sites, and retrieval of data at the patient's bedside.

a word based predictive text entry method for khmer language
Information Reuse and Integration, 2008Co-Authors: Mitsuji Matsumoto, Yoshiyori UranoAbstract:This paper begins with a discussion on the difficulties in applying word-based text entry method for Khmer, official language of Cambodia. Then, we propose a word-based predictive method based on careful analysis on the structure of current Khmer typing system. To evaluate the proposed text entry, we designed and implemented two interface prototypes; the 12-key mobile phone interface and the stylus-based device interface such as personal digital assistant (PDA). Results show that compared to the existing methods our model provides better keystrokes and speed.

Using a personal digital assistant to Increase Completion of Novel Tasks and Independent Transitioning by Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2011Co-Authors: Linda C. Mechling, Erin J. SavidgeAbstract:The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a personal digital assistant with multiple prompt levels to increase completion of novel task boxes and transitioning within and between tasks. The study used a multiple probe design across three sets of task boxes replicated with three students with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. Results indicated that: task completion was higher for two of the students compared to baseline conditions using a picture-based task strip; all students were able to complete a greater number of between task transitions using the PDA; students performed within task transitions equally as well using the PDA and the task strip; and one student began to self-fade use of more intrusive prompt levels.

evaluation of a personal digital assistant as a self prompting device for increasing multi step task completion by students with moderate intellectual disabilities
Education and training in autism and developmental disabilities, 2010Co-Authors: Linda C. Mechling, David L. Gast, Nicole H. SeidAbstract:The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the use of a personal digital assistant (PDA), with picture, auditory, and video prompts, would serve as a portable self-prompting device to facilitate independent task performance by high school age students with moderate intellectual disabilities. A multiple probe design was used across three cooking recipes and replicated across three students to evaluate the effectiveness of the self-prompting program. Results indicate that students were able to independently use a PDA to self-prompt completion of the three cooking recipes without the need for external adult prompting, to maintain use of the device over time, and to self-adjust the levels of prompts used within and across recipes.

Using a personal digital assistant to Increase Independent Task Completion by Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009Co-Authors: Linda C. Mechling, David L. Gast, Nicole H. SeidAbstract:In this study, a personal digital assistant (PDA) with picture, auditory, and video prompts with voice over, was evaluated as a portable self-prompting device for students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Using a multiple probe design across three cooking recipes and replicated with three students with ASD, the system was tested for its effectiveness in increasing independent performance across the multiple step tasks. In addition, data were recorded for the number and types of prompts used by the students across time. Results indicate that the students with ASD were able to adjust the prompt levels used on the PDA and to maintain their ability to use the device to independently complete recipes over time.
