▼ The popularity of smart speakers with virtual personal assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant has been growing. However, the security and privacy of users using these devices have not been thoroughly examined which can lead to severe security and privacy concerns. In this thesis, we perform fingerprinting attack of skills on Amazon Echo by analyzing the encrypted network traffic and show the potential privacy leakage of users using skills on smart speakers. Skills are third-party applications that can be accessed through Amazon Alexa. Amazon Echo, the most dominant smart speaker in the current market provides the feature of Skills & Games which can be accessed through the smart speaker. For example, by enabling the BBC skill, you can hear the live streaming news from BBC on your smart speaker. Skills increase the diversity of using Amazon smart speaker by providing a variety of applications that can be used from a single platform just with the use of voice commands without accessing phone or a computer. In this fingerprinting attack, an adversary can eavesdrop on the network traffic of the smart speaker and predict the skill that is used by the user without decrypting the network traffic. For this attack, we collect the dataset consisting of 10,000 traces of network traffic related to 100 popular skills. We perform feature selection to investigate the top features that contribute towards the users privacy leakage. We implement the attack by leveraging popular machine learning models which have been used in previous network traffic analysis works. Among the different machine learning models we implement, Random Forest Classifier performs the best by achieving an accuracy of 69.85%. The experimental results show that there is a need for developers to focus on the privacy leakages of users. Our results can also be used to detect malicious attacks on smart speakers and can contribute to encrypted traffic analysis and privacy preserving at large.

▼ The high rate of youth unemployment is a global phenomenon and a worrying factor. This contradicted the opportunity presented by the ICT sector, which requires e-skills, particularly e-literacy/or digital literacy skills in the entire sectors of the economy, not only ICT. Ala-Mutka (2011) defines e-literacy skills as the "basic technical use of computers and the internet". ICT skills are viewed as essential in the modern day world in order to improve individual’s chances of securing and keeping employment. Various initiatives to improve youth employability in South Africa, particularly those that are studying TVET colleges or those have already graduated. Various approaches have been adopted such envisaged by the White Paper for Post-School Education and Training of 2013 i.e. preparation for workplace, self-employment through close cooperation of TVET colleges and industry (DHET, 2013). Employers assume that graduates are familiar with computer and Internet usage. Thus, the study set the following objectives: • To understand the theoretical and contextual background of promoting employability; • To explore existing employability frameworks that might be relevant for promoting employability; • To identify and categorize the factors that are relevant for promoting employability obtained from pertinent literature; • To validate these factors by interviewing key TVET stakeholders and ICT experts; • To propose an employability framework customized for the South African context; and • To explain the use of these factors within the proposed employability framework. The objectives were realised by reviewing pertinent literature, which led to the development of an employability conceptual research framework for South Africa. A conceptual research framework that consists of five factors from the e-skills national curriculum competency framework: (i) e-skills for service delivery; (ii) e-skills for new jobs; (iii) e-skills for existing jobs; (iv) self-employment; and (v) ICT practitioner skills. In-terms of e-skills levels i.e. ICT user skills, e-business skills and ICT practitioner skills. The first three sets of e-skills are associated with ICT user skill, e-skills for self-employment are associated with e-business skills and then ICT practitioner skills. This conceptual research framework was subsequently empirically verified using an interpretive approach by interviewing key TVET stakeholders and an ICT expert. The empirical findings affirmed the validity of the above-mentioned employability factors but also uncovered two additional factors: (iv) practical experience and infrastructure. These factors were subsequently incorporated into the final employability framework for South Africa. The main contribution of this study is the fact that it brings a new employability framework for TVET colleges for the South African context, with the hope that it can be applicable in similar environments in the developing context. There are some limitations in the present study due to a small research sample that was caused by the… Advisors/Committee Members: Mitrovic, Zoran (advisor), Breytenbach, Johan (advisor).

▼ In this thesis, we present findings on designing and validating real-time and post feedback on nonverbal skills in face to face communication skills with a humanoid agent. The technical challenges included a real-time machine learning framework that can automatically process the audio-video data via a webcam, allowing the users to converse in natural language and receive live and post feedback on smile intensity, volume modulation, pauses, synchronicity, body language, eye-contact, sentiment and turn-taking. Our initial exploration included designing a wizard-of-oz experiment validating the form factors (i.e., flashing icons using the traffic light analogy) for real-time feedback using 46 college students. Using the data, we trained a hidden Markov model to generate feedback. The feedback on verbal cue was generated by performing sentiment and word category analysis. For post feedback, we summarized the nonverbal feedback using the support vector machine. The technical contributions were validated in three unique contexts: 1) helping individuals with autism; 2) helping elderly with their social skills; 3) helping physicians improve their interactions skills with patients. Applications to speed-dating and autism: In a randomized control study with 47 college students, we found that the feedback helped improve eye contact and gesture. In a preliminary study with nine teenagers with autism, we identified several design guidelines which include, briefing the users, making positive acknowledgments, and personalizing dialogue. Applications to aging: In a pilot study with 25 older adults, participants found the feedback useful and were able to reflect on the feedback. In a subsequent longitudinal study with 18 older adults, participants improved their eye contact and smiling. Applications to patient-physician communication: In the context of patient-physician communication, we conducted a study with eight clinicians where they found the feedback intuitive and easy to follow. Additionally, we identified two communication behaviors of physicians that help improve patients’ prognosis understanding - 1) lecturing style of a conversational structure by maximizing entropy, and 2) the positive language patterns (i.e., sentiment trajectory) using k-means clustering. We used a data set that includes conversations between physicians (N=38) and late-stage cancer patients (N=382). With statistical analysis, we show that physicians who were lecturing their patients and did not vary their positive sentiment had patients with prognosis misunderstanding. During global pandemics (e.g., COVID-19), when social distancing is recommended, most communication is taking place online. This indicates the need for online communication training programs that can overcome social and global boundaries.

▼ This mixed methods study investigates the impact of middle school students’ spatial skills on their plate tectonics learning while using a computer visualization. The research includes both qualitative and quantitative questions: QUAL—How do students’ spatial skills mediate student understanding of plate tectonics when using a computer data visualization? QUAN—What is the relationship between student spatial skills (as measured by SRI) and plate tectonics learning content gains while using the GEODE curriculum with the computer data visualization? MIXED—What results emerge when comparing the qualitative data generated while using the data visualization with the qualitative demographic and outcome data measured? Student demographics, spatial scores, and pre/post science content scores were used to test whether spatial skills influence students’ learning when using a computer simulation. The qualitative data include student interviews, screencasts, and online artifacts. Qualitative data suggest that students go through an iterative cycle of noticing and interpreting when using a scientific model. Quantitative data support the idea that spatial skills correlate to plate tectonics learning, with or without the computer. Overall results show a significant relationship between spatial skills and plate tectonics learning. In the pilot study, I developed a noticing framework tool to interpret students’ words and work in spatial terms. The noticing framework was used in the QUAL and QUAN parts of the dissertation to better understand what students notice and interpret while using the Seismic Explorer visualization. The findings are that students with high spatial skills use more spatial words, notice and interpret more in computer visualization, and score higher grades than students with lower spatial skills. An explanation for the increased gain in plate tectonics comprehension is that students with higher spatial skills notice more, so they are able to interpret more details of the model.

▼ A single subject multiple probe across participants design was used to examine effects of a leisure education intervention package on generalization of social knowledge and skills demonstrated by 3 participants with social skills deficits (age 4) during (a) play with 1 peer and (b) natural setting classroom play with 1 or more peers. The leisure education intervention package featured 2 components (a) Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and (b) Instructor-Facilitated Role Play (I-FRP) (between researcher and participants). Social knowledge was assessed using a computerized version of the “Social Knowledge Assessment” (SKA) and social skills’ generalization was assessed using videotaped observations of targeted social behaviors recorded on the Social Skills Assessment (SSA) during participants’ play with 1 peer and during natural setting classroom play with 1 or more peers. Social knowledge and skills data were collected during baseline probe; intervention began once knowledge and skills’ scores stabilized. After participants achieved knowledge criterion during CAI phase of intervention, I-FRP phase of intervention began. I-FRP provided participants with feedback related to targeted social skills during instructional role play with the researcher. I-FRP sessions were based on interactions depicted in CAI and continued until participants reached skills criteria of demonstrating targeted social skills in both settings on 3 or more occasions at a frequency of least 50% higher than baseline probe using the SSA observation form. Results indicated that across participants, following initiation of the CAI phase of intervention, replication of effects occurred for social knowledge indicating intervention efficacy related to that dependent measure; however, for social skills, across participants, replication of effects did not occur. Although median scores for social skills increased following implementation of CAI and I-FRP phases of intervention, data were variable for all 3 participants and visual analysis of the graphed data did not support intervention efficacy. Additionally, there was no observable trend indicating change in frequency related to greetings or inappropriate behaviors (e.g., excessive volume, verbal aggression). Participants, parents, and staff members indicated the study was socially valid through assessments and interviews related to social validity of goals, social appropriateness of procedures, and social importance of effects.

▼ The purpose of this research is to examine whether education outcomes match the Australian mass fashion industry’s needs. This fashion sector is the largest employer of fashion-trained personnel in the country. The research examines the industry’s needs from the perspective of the mass fashion retailers and the sourcing firms that supply them. The study also focuses on the role of computer aided graphic design as a means of communicating design ideas to buyers, as well as garment construction drawings, textile prints and placement prints to suppliers. The discipline crossover that is evident between fashion design, textile design and merchandising is also examined in depth. The thesis focuses on the Australian generic market, that is, product commissioned by retailers for their own brands, with an emphasis on the mass fashion children’s wear sector. This sector was selected as it captures the current industry in a nutshell, in particular: 1. The sector’s focus on maintaining low retail prices; 2. The sector’s stringent fit and quality control requirements; 3. The sector’s reliance on understanding supply network capabilities to maintain low costs and to be aware of new innovations. A purposive sampling process was used to select participants for the research as participants were required to have in-depth knowledge of the mass fashion children’s wear sector. Data was gathered through the use of open-ended thematic interviews and duly coded using a qualitative data analysis program, NVivo. Nvivo is designed to facilitate the organization of the data set more efficiently, enabling easier comparisons of answers in each theme. At first glance, it appeared from preliminary discussions with industry and education that there is a dissonance between industry needs and education outcomes; however, on reflection through the interview process it became apparent that it is not possible for education to meet all of industry’s perceived needs. The more salient point to note is the rapid rate of change in attitudes and practice in the industry over the last thirty years and especially the last four years. Retailers have transformed from just being sellers of product to now being in control of their own product development and manufacturing. This change has affected the role of industry participants, requiring practitioners to need less hands-on practical garment construction knowledge and more research and sourcing skills. However, on deeper examination, whilst the practical construction skills are no longer used in the workplace, an intimate understanding of these is important when it comes to product development. Considering these changes, this study has found that industry cannot pinpoint all the skills the product designer/developer needs. The literature examining design process and reflective practice generally is informative in its approach and this translates well into mass fashion product development as studied here. Clearly, a close connection between industry and education is very important, both for undergraduate…

▼ Despite popular enthusiasm for using video games in the classroom, a review of the research reveals a frequent lack of meaningful (i.e., transferable) learning outcomes resulting from video game play (Mayer, 2014). One explanation could be that video game environments are fast and forward-moving, whereas learning that leads to transfer is reflective, effortful, and requires integrating new information with prior knowledge. What can be added to computer games to facilitate transferable learning? In Experiments 1 and 2, participants played a computer game called Cache 17, which has a narrative cover story about finding stolen art as well as instructional information about electromechanical devices. The player’s main goal can be to win (i.e., find the art) rather than to understand the instructional content (i.e., understand how a wet cell battery works). In Experiments 1 and 2, students who filled out worksheets about the devices in Cache 17 during game play outperformed a control group without worksheets on a transfer test, demonstrating that the worksheets helped students focus their limited cognitive resources on the learning material. Experiments 3a and 3b investigated how to train transferable spatial skills with Tetris. Previous research shows that Tetris experts are better than non-experts at mentally rotating Tetris shapes, but nothing else. In Experiment 3a, participants completed a series of lessons and worksheets on Tetris problem-solving with the goal of building a declarative knowledge base to use as a basis for transferable spatial skills. One group completed these lessons and played Tetris and one group played Tetris only. Pre- and post-training tests measured spatial and cognitive skills related to Tetris play. Experiment 3b added an inactive control condition that took the pre- and post-training measures but did not complete any training. The results of Experiments 3a and 3b indicated no benefit of playing Tetris with or without additional training on gains in any spatial or cognitive measure when controlling for pre-training performance. This research helps develop principles for how transferable learning can be facilitated with games.

▼ The effectiveness of using virtual labs to train students in computer networking skills, when real equipment is limited or unavailable, is uncertain. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using virtual labs to train students in the acquisition of computer network configuration and troubleshooting skills. The study was conducted in the developing country of Zambia, where there is an acute shortage of network lab equipment. Effectiveness was determined by the transfer of skills learned in a virtual lab to a real lab. A two stage true experimental design, that compared the proficiency of randomly assigned experimental (virtual-lab) and control (no-virtual-lab) groups, was used to determine effectiveness (N = 56). In the first stage, the virtual-lab group practiced in a virtual lab while the no-virtual-lab group did not. Both groups were subjected to a lab test where the speed and accuracy of network configuration and troubleshooting of real equipment was measured, prior and after treatment. In the second stage, both groups practiced using real equipment and the speed and accuracy was again measured. An independent t-test was used to determine if there was a significant difference in the final performance between the two groups. It was found that there were significant differences between the groups in the configuration time (p = 0.011) and troubleshooting time (p = 0.03), favoring the virtual-lab group. On the other hand, there were no significant difference in configuration accuracy (p = 0.06) and troubleshooting accuracy (p = 0.440) between the two groups. In addition, there was positive transfer of training from the virtual lab to the real lab for configuration accuracy, configuration speed, troubleshooting accuracy and troubleshooting speed. There was also evidence that students showed performance gains both in using virtual and real labs by comparing their pre-test and post-test results. From the results, there is evidence that the use of virtual labs contributes positively to the transfer of practical computer networking skills from the virtual to the real lab environment. Hence, virtual labs were found to be effective in the teaching of computer networking skills relating to configuration and troubleshooting. Advisors/Committee Members: Price, William T. Jr. (committeechair), Lockee, Barbara B. (committee member), Burton, John Knox (committee member), Cartwright, Daisy Louise (committee member).
