With technology developments, new evacuation systems are proposed in prevention planning. Recently, digital promotion signage has been used recently for promotion and advertising in public and commercial spheres. It is pointed that digital promotion signage attracts more attention than the traditional emergency-exit sign and the effect of the digital promotion signage to control human evacuation flow is verified by simulations. In this paper, we discuss a method that changes the contents of signage adaptively to the situations of congestion. This idea provides one solution for situations that many people are caught in the congestions and applying the idea to new application fields is also discussed.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114418590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although BYOD has gained in popularity across the world and the possible educational benefits have been discussed thoroughly, little is known about the actual presence of personal devices in classroom after a number of years. The purpose of this study is to investigate why teachers who engaged in BYOD for years have reservations toward the BYOD programs. Drawing on an ethnographic study of one pioneer BYOD elementary school in Taiwan, this study details ways in which the sustainability of personal digital devices and related practices in classroom encountered great challenges from the teacher's perspective. In particular, borrowed from an Actor-Network Theory (ANT) framework, this study identified two types of reluctance: reluctance to be enrolled in and reluctance to be excluded respectively. These teachers' reluctance to accomplishing the needed assemblage resulted in reservations toward BYOD programs. The negotiated actions enacted by teachers' translation in order to maintain the unwelcomed network have important implications for BYOD policy stakeholders. This longitudinal study demonstrated a picture different from the novelty effect normally reported in BYOD literature.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116354939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the overall outcome is still lagging behind the other areas of creativity studies, even though the strong influence of recent developments in the context of digitization and Web 2.0 has been discussed in scholarly publications. With this paper, the authors intend to link recommendations from an innovative creativity research scenario, which applies open online innovation technology, with previous results regarding creativity stimulation trends in online learning support systems and e-science platforms. This linkage is achieved by applying selected results from the aforementioned areas to the practice of innovative research and learning processes. The corresponding open innovation platform is recently developed as part of a trans-European Horizon 2020 flagship project. General system assessments, derived from user feedback in the presented Delphi survey, might be useful to optimize the research support algorithms. Specifically, authors conclude a platform management to modify their own information seeking behavior and respective information management technology in order to apply the potential of open innovation platforms more effectively. Even though scientists' awareness of the usefulness of Web 2.0 technologies is still insufficient, the base is created to enhance their research output by the creativity-supporting capabilities of new recommendation engines, designed for open learning and innovation platforms.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"4 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116437011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this reason, in order to improve the quality of students' comments, this study aims to provide peer reviewers with feedback of the automatic classification of their comments in an existing peer review system, so that reviewers can improve their comments for writers. In order to examine its effect, this study designs an experiment in an academic writing course for first-year graduate students in two semesters. In the experimental group, peer reviewers are provided with the feedback, while students in the control group did not receive any feedback. The results showed that the graduate students in the experimental group consciously improved their comments after receiving the feedback, especially on the cognitive dimensions (e.g., increasing guidance) and the metacognitive dimensions (e.g., increasing evaluating comments). The findings may provide a direction for students to write high-quality comments and improve writing proficiency.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"54 32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128539488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The finding results of the paper showed that: 1) when watching the VR commercial advertising, participants did not put the first sequence of gaze in each dynamic regions of interest (ROIs) in the commercial object; 2) in terms for concentration span sequence of gaze in each dynamic ROIs, if participant gazed the commercial object, more concerns were put and there was longer time for gazing; on the contrary, there was no eye movement information about gazing at the commercial object; 3) when watching the VR commercial advertising, the commercial object did not receive longer total gazing time and numbers of relative concentration gazing of participants spending on all dynamic ROIs.
