Authors Info & Claims
Published:07 May 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

We aim to design a tool that can facilitate Q&A activities in offline academic presentations. We first identify several problems associated with current offline Q&A practices. We then address these problems with SlideQA that supports real-time textual Q&A and slide reviewing online. Our preliminary evaluation results show that SlideQA greatly helped users to understand the presentation content and effectively increased the participation of Q&A activities.
