GPACW 2007: iMacro Browser Plug-in

Justin Blessinger, DSU

Using FireFox (or IE...ha!) macros to save time and automate annoyingly redundant tasks

Use in Word to automate common student feedback (be sure to create an icon to make it quicker)

ex: opening a host of research tabs (EBSCO, LexisNexis, OED, Academic OneFile)

Spend a little bit of time to set up the initial script, save a lot of time later on.

GPACW 2007: SGML Text Analysis

John Laflin, DSU

Using SGML to analyze texts:

-macros+ could be used to analyze two passages--or two complete papers--side by side to see how statistically different the voices of the author could be

-analyzing passages from online discussions or blogs for word frequency to determine how well the students are grasping key concepts (terminology, e.g., ethos or chunking)

-analyzing passages from online discussions to see how frequently and in what ways students are contributing to minimum word counts

-is there a simple way to design these SGML analyses? how much time would it take for me to learn how to do this in an efficient and meaningful way?

-huge time commitment, but it seems worth it
-needs context to analyze keywords or meaning of discussion
-what's the learning curve?
