In an attempt to address identified usability barriers of traditional push-button-type personal emergency response systems, a novel automated, intelligent, spoken dialogue-based personal emergency response system is being developed. To design this system and make it more robust for end-users, further information, currently not available in research literature, is needed to improve the artificial intelligence and spoken dialogue components of the system. Using a mixed methods design, this dissertation describes three studies that derive this needed information from real personal emergency response calls. The first study identified 185 keywords and phrases spoken by system users; 17 categories for classifying keywords; and a personal emergency situation model including caller type, call reason, and risk level. The second study expanded the situation model to a personal emergency response model by adding a response-type classification. Various statistical analyses were applied to response calls using call classifications and select conversational measures. Significant trends in call data that could be used to pre-inform the automated personal emergency response system dialogue manager of a call's potential outcome were identified. Words per minute and turn length in words were found to be possible predictors of caller type. Emergency medical services were the predominant response requested for high risk calls and medium risk calls and non-professional responders appeared mainly in medium risk calls. Care provider and older adult callers were also found to employ different conversational strategies when responding to the call taker. In the third study, a spoken speech corpus was developed containing younger and older adult, actor simulated, spontaneous, read, and emotional speech, including personal emergency response keywords, phrases, and scenarios. Taken together, these research results will contribute towards the design and development of a more robust automated, personal emergency response system for older adults to help them age-in-place.

Technology has become a driving force of innovation in every industry and professionals need to strengthen their proficiency in emerging technologies to remain competitive. Today's working world is very demanding of young professionals, as recent graduates are expected to come into their chosen field both knowledgeable and ready to hit the ground running, with minimal on-the-job training. Computer-Mediated Learning for Workforce Development delivers crucial knowledge on how to prepare twenty-first century students for today's fast-paced workforce. This book explores the use of multimedia programs in classrooms to train students on necessary technology skills through techniques such as game-based training curriculums and massive open online courses (MOOCs). This publication also touches on computer-mediated youth civic action and interaction by examining the use of social media during the Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, and Black Lives Matter movements. Filled with critical information on educational technology, mobile learning, and employment preparation, this book is a vital resource for academicians, education practitioners, school administrators, and advanced-level students.

There is a need in the higher education arena for a book that responds to the need for using technology in a classroom of tech-savvy students. This book is filled with illustrative examples of questions and teaching activities that use classroom response systems from a variety of disciplines (with a discipline index). The book also incorporates results from research on the effectiveness of the technology for teaching. Written for instructional designers and re-designers as well as faculty across disciplines. A must-read for anyone interested in interactive teaching and the use of clickers. This book draws on the experiences of countless instructors across a wide range of disciplines to provide both novice and experienced teachers with practical advice on how to make classes more fun and more effective.”--Eric Mazur, Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics, Harvard University, and author, Peer Instruction: A User’s Manual “Those who come to this book needing practical advice on using ‘clickers’ in the classroom will be richly rewarded: with case studies, a refreshing historical perspective, and much pedagogical ingenuity. Those who seek a deep, thoughtful examination of strategies for active learning will find that here as well—in abundance. Dr. Bruff achieves a marvelous synthesis of the pragmatic and the philosophical that will be useful far beyond the life span of any single technology.” --Gardner Campbell, Director, Academy for Teaching and Learning, and Associate Professor of Literature, Media, and Learning, Honors College, Baylor University
