New software keeps e-mail from being misconstrued

Aug 13, 2010 (The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Emily Goss holed up in her Downtown office recently, while her boyfriend spent a beautiful summer afternoon boating."You're so mean," she texted. He didn't get her sarcasm."He thought I was actually mad," said Goss, a business development manager at Pittsburgh Technology Council who relies heavily on e-mail to conduct business. "On the phone, you can make a joke, and your personality comes through, but with e-mail, it's cut and dried." Nonspoken communication such as e-mail and text messaging has become a daily staple, particularly in the business world, and it's projected to become even more prevalent.

Yet, with more than 200 billion e-mails sent each day, according to some market firms' estimates, there is plenty of room for interpretation -- or misinterpretation.Lymbix, a New Brunswick, Canada-based company that specializes in tools for understanding text-based communication, recently launched an application that flags emotionally charged speech in e-mail.ToneCheck is similar to spell check or grammar check, except it scans the tone of e-mails for words that trigger emotions, from amusement to humiliation. Users can set their tone tolerance, and the program will send an alert if the e-mail is outside a user's preset limits.A beta version is available free for Microsoft Outlook users. ToneCheck also is in the works for other e-mail providers."Doing this kind of tone-checking might be a good first defense," said Dennis Galletta, a professor of business administration at Pitt's Katz School of Business who teaches a course on human-computer interaction. "(An) assistant might be better for big, important messages." A 2005 study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found e-mail messages that included sarcasm were misinterpreted half the time. Yet, the e-mail sender and receiver each thought they deciphered the message correctly, the study found.Even emoticons can be misconstrued, said Justin Kruger, a professor at New York University's Stern School of Business and co-author of the study."We hear that tone because we're typing it," he said. But a receiver doesn't always hear the same thing.Still, e-mail remains a productive way to conduct business, said Sara Radicati, president and CEO of the Radicati Group, a Palo Alto, Calif.,-based market research firm that specializes in the computer and telecommunications industry.The firm estimates 2.9 billion e-mail accounts exist worldwide, and it predicts that will grow by 24 percent to 3.6 billion by 2014.Of those, 730 million are corporate accounts. The typical corporate e-mail user sends and receives about 110 messages each day, according to the company. The firm expects that also to continue to increase.Galletta said using sarcasm in e-mail can be dangerous."Saying declarative things and asking simple questions are the safest ways to go," he said.To see more of The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review or to subscribe to the newspaper, go to http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/.

Supporting innovative use of ICT in education

The ICT in Education Innovative Practices project aims to identify innovative approaches to using ICT in education in the Asia-Pacific region.

Advances in information and communication technologies (ICT) are bringing about many changes in our world: challenging the way we think and altering the ways we socialize and communicate. ICT have also inspired innovations in every spectrum of life and are revolutionizing various sectors of society, including education.
Realizing the potential of such technologies and innovations for achieving the goal of quality education for all and for making the ideal of lifelong learning a reality, UNESCO is implementing projects which seek to assist educators, government officials and others to harness the potential of those technologies in effective and efficient ways.
UNESCO’s latest initiative, launched in 2007, is the "ICT in Education Innovative Practices" project which aims to identify and reward outstanding examples of the innovative use of ICT in education. The project also aims to disseminate information about these innovative practices and to assist others to benefit from them by conducting training workshops based on selected examples.
