Training Future Administrators to Supervise School Counselors: An Interdepartmental Approach
The goal of this project, another TLT Grant Award 2015 – 2016 recipient, is to develop and pilot an interdepartmental teaching approach with collaboration between faculty members from the School Counseling department and Instructional Technology department for candidates in the School Leadership and Technology advanced diploma program. The instruction, which will take place across two semesters, is focused on increasing future administrators’ knowledge of best practices in school counseling and enhancing their skills in supervising counselors appropriately.

Design and Development of a Suite of Keyboard-based Biometrics for an Active Authentication System
This project collects effective keyboard-based biometric algorithms that analyze free text input to capture the unique mechanics of how a user types (atomic keystroke dynamics), the unique aspects of how the user composes text and uses language (cogni-linguistic features), and the demographic classifications to which the user belongs.
Primary investigator: Professor, Kiran S. Balagani, Ph.D.
Performance-Based Research-Wireless Sensing of Gastric Electrical Activity
Develops and evaluates a multi-channel hybrid wireless implantable system that can serve as a gastro-stimulator and recorder.
Primary investigator: Professor and Dept. Chair, Aydin Farajidavar, Ph.D.
Smartphone Security and Mobile Network Research
To analyze methods of securing smartphones and their networks, researchers simulate malware spread in these devices, evaluate authentication schemes, study topology control of wireless networks, identify the geographic location of smartphones, and develop privacy controls as it relates to medical data.
Primary investigator: Ziqian (Cecilia) Dong, Ph.D.
Online Grammar Tutorials for International Students
For this project, a TLT Grant Award recipient for 2015 – 2016, researchers will design, develop, implement, and evaluate technology-based interactive video tutorials designed to help ESL students improve their English grammar skills. The project is a collaborative effort between the English Department of the College of Arts and Sciences and the Instructional Technology Department of the School of Interdisciplinary Studies & Education.
