    Augmenting tandem language learning with the TandemTable
    (ACM, 2013) Paluka, Erik; Collins, Christopher
    In this paper, we present our computer-assisted language learning system called TandemTable. It is designed for a multi-touch tabletop and is meant to aid co-located tandem language learners during their learning sessions. By suggesting topics of discussion, and presenting learners with a variety of conversation-focused collaborative activities with shared digital artifacts, the system helps to inspire conversations and help them flow.

    The Simple Multi-touch Toolkit
    (2015-01-29) Hancock, Mark; Collins, Christopher; Cook, Zachary; Sikes, Kalev Kalda; Paluka, Erik
    Developing multi-touch applications can be difficult and tedious, especially for people without a programming background. The Simple Multi-touch Toolkit, a library for Processing and Java, unifies all the most common touch input devices, including TUIO and Windows Touch, and sports simple, easy to understand syntax. Accessible, yet powerful, it opens up the realm of touch to the inexperienced programmer, and makes coding multi-touch interactions much easier.
