ICALT2011-Widgets to support the concept of an Adaptable Learning EnvironmentV_Gkatzidou
The document discusses the WIDE (Widgets for Inclusive Distributed Environments) project which aims to create widgets to make e-learning resources more accessible and inclusive for disabled students. The project uses a participatory design approach involving students and practitioners. Workshops were held to gather widget ideas which were developed using the Wookie platform. An evaluation found the widgets met expectations and highlighted a need for authoring tools to allow non-technical users to create widgets.
Wookie is an Apache incubator project that provides a REST API and JavaScript API for building and managing widgets. It allows widgets to be installed and used across different platforms and applications. Widgets are packaged as .wgt files and can integrate a variety of APIs. The document provides an overview of how Wookie works and examples of simple widgets that could be built using it.
The document summarizes a workshop about creating widgets to support inclusive learning called Widgets for Inclusive Distributed Environments (WIDE). The workshop aims to have participants create learning designs, turn them into widgets using Apache Wookie, and evaluate them. Widgets are defined as small, self-contained applications that can provide tools, services, mini-applications or fully collaborative applications to support learners. The agenda outlines sessions on accessibility software, mobile prompts widgets, designing learning activities, and hands-on work to create widgets.
Profiling For Accessibility PresentationV_Gkatzidou
1. Profiling for accessibility is important to meet the diverse needs of learners, especially those with special needs who require personalized access. Metadata can be used to describe learner profiles and preferences for accessibility.
2. The Accessibility for Learner Information Package (AccLIP) uses metadata to describe learner needs, preferences, and device capabilities to ensure accessibility of content. Examples show how George's needs for low vision can be met differently at home versus school.
3. Integrating learner profiling further, such as for learning styles and cognition, could improve personalized accessibility. Challenges remain in implementing profiling systems and integrating them within learning environments.
The iTEC project aims to develop engaging teaching and learning scenarios using new technologies and validate them through large-scale pilots in over 1,000 classrooms across 18 countries. The project has 27 partners and 9.45 million euros in funding from the European Commission. It will research how to support more effective learner engagement and equip teachers with skills for the classroom of the future. The technical work will focus on making resources like tools, platforms and content interoperable and easy to combine to support the scenarios.
This presentation created by Alec Biedrzycki is the first installment of a three-part seminar series that was hosted at Studio Crossings throughout the summer of 2011. It focuses on the psychology around social media and getting over the fear of putting yourself "out there" to be found. Consider this as an introduction to social media marketing answering the 5 W's.
The document discusses an upcoming social media seminar series aimed at familiarizing attendees with social media tools and helping them determine which strategies best fit their needs. It provides an overview of some popular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube. It also notes that while social media should come naturally to humans, some people struggle with the technology and etiquette aspects and lose sight of the human element.

Konzeption einer Alumni-KommunikationsplattformThomas Matterne
Die in dieser Diplomarbeit geplante Alumni-Kommunikationsplattform wird der Fachhochschule Ansbach helfen das Alumni-Potential des Studiengangs Wirtschaftsinformatik zu nutzen. Eine hierfür durchgeführte Umfrage unter Studenten hat ergeben, dass diese mit der bisherigen Situation nicht zufrieden sind. So kann die Plattform in einen Markt mit 50 % Wachstumschancen eintreten.
Neben zwei Best Practice-Vergleichen, bildet vor allem die Umfrage die Grundlage für die entworfene Webplattform. Diese zeigte vor allem, dass die Bereitstellung einer Datenbank Kernaufgabe eines Netzwerkes ist. Daneben wird die Plattform noch ein Forum, Mentorenprogramm, Newsbereich, Career Service, Infopost, Firmenreferenzliste und Jahrbuch anbieten. Neben diesen Hinweisen auf ein von Alumni gefordertes Angebot, ergab die Umfrage aber auch, dass sich Alumni zwar z.B. in Form von Gastvorträgen an ihrer alten Hochschule einbringen wollen, das Thema Fundraising aber noch nicht weit entwickelt ist.
Die Plattform erfordert kaum Personalaufwand für die Wartung. Deshalb ist es auch möglich das Angebot für Mitglieder zunächst einmal kostenlos anzubieten. Auch die Werbemaßnahmen sind preisgünstig aber effektiv gehalten.
Für die Umsetzung stehen drei verschiedene Wege offen. Die Plattform kann entweder für sich alleine stehen oder sich nach erwiesenem Erfolg auf die gesamte Hochschule ausdehnen. Alternativ steht auch eine Integration in das Angebot des hochschuleigenen Rechenzentrums zur Wahl.
15 Tipps, um jeden Tag ein bisschen klüger zu werdenThomas Matterne
Mit 15 einfachen Angewohnheiten, die jeder auch täglich problemlos ausüben kann, kann man jeden Tag ein bisschen klüger werden. Einfach einmal ausprobieren.
