SLP: Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I purchase my tablet through Rocky Hill when I might find a less expensive machine through another source (a bricks and mortar or Internet retail store, for example)?
We strongly recommend that families purchase the tablet through the school's laptop purchase program. Classroom instruction using technology is more effective when all students work with the same tools; consistency and compatibility reduce the possibility of confusion and wasted class time. While it may seem that a comparable tablet could be purchased at a lower price on the outside, families should remember that laptops purchased through RHS come with features and services that are not always included in the laptop packages offered at retail stores. Purchasing these items separately almost always results in a higher total cost. The RHS tablets are bundled with software needed to operate in the RHS environment, at a savings not available through retail outlets. The customized configuration that is loaded on each tablet makes the transition from the shipping box to the classroom almost seamless. Additionally, we provide significant value-added services in the area of maintenance and support with the goal of minimizing down time should a problem arise; a laptop from our loaner pool is always available to students who purchase their laptop through RHS. -
Music Notepad
The Music Notepad is a system for entering common music notation based on 2D gestural input. The key feature of the system is the look-and-feel of the interface which approximates sketching music with paper and pencil. A probability-based interpreter integrates sequences of gestural input to perform the most common notation and editing operations. The paper presented at UIST '98 described the user's model of the system, the components of the high-level recognition system, and a discussion of the evolution of the system including user feedback.
