changing the way
libraries conceive of
themselves our clients are using
mobile technologies so if
we want to be able to
support our clients... then
we need to understand
the mobile technologies
they are using and be
able to support the ways
they are using them
it is helping, forcing, making
opportunities for us to review and rethink the
way we provide our services, it's really about
opening up the opportunity for libraries being more
than a physical building and more than something
that happens at home on your PC, but could
happen anywhere, anytime

what is an m-library?
a library that offers
products, programs
and services
specifically designed
to be delivered and
used on mobile
devices

what is a mobile device?
a pocket sized (?)
computing device

allows access to
information from
anywhere

usually data is input
via a touchscreen

The document discusses using semantic web technologies like SIOC and FOAF to help journalists integrate user-generated social media content into news stories. It describes how these ontologies can connect disparate online communities and metadata to aid in navigating, verifying, and reusing social data. The project aims to explore customizing SIOC for journalism and extending vocabularies like Schema.org to semantically enrich social content for news gathering and reporting.

Intranet, Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0

Andrea Pesoli

This document discusses the evolution of intranets and the rise of Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 technologies and concepts. It defines intranets as private internal networks that use internet technologies to provide services and applications to employees. Intranets help provide access to company resources and support communication, collaboration, and knowledge sharing among employees. Web 2.0 emphasizes user participation, openness, social networking, and harnessing the "wisdom of crowds." As intranets adopt these new technologies and principles, they are evolving from early informational stages to more advanced collaborative platforms known as Enterprise 2.0.

EXPERIMEDIA: Experiments in live social and networked media

experimedia

The document describes a project called EXPERIMEDIA that aims to conduct experiments in live social and networked media using future internet technologies. The project will explore new forms of social interaction and experiences enabled by future media internet. It will engage users from diverse communities through the research and development cycle. A variety of experiments are proposed, including personalized entertainment, social communities using 3D environments, capturing real world environments in 3D, and ensuring perceptual congruity between real and virtual worlds. The project calls for additional partners to join and conduct experiments starting in May 2012 and May 2013. It concludes that the SMAP workshop is well suited to join the project and conduct relevant experiments given its focus on media, semantics and personalization.

Value of Technology Enabled Networks

Bala Iyer

The document discusses research on the value of social tagging systems. It finds that who a person connects with through a tagging system, rather than just how frequently they use the system, positively impacts their personal innovativeness. Brokering diverse connections between subgroups provides access to non-redundant information and indirectly impacts innovativeness. The research was conducted through a survey of 150 employees at a professional services firm who used a tagging system, and evaluated based on nominations from colleagues.

Digital ethnographies involve observing people's online behavior and conversations to understand customer motivations. They offer benefits over traditional focus groups like accessing a larger nationwide sample and gaining insight into real-life experiences over time. The document discusses how digital ethnographies can be used to directly ideate with consumers, gain comprehensive learning quickly, and iteratively refine new product concepts through co-creation. Kelton is currently using digital ethnographies and design co-creation to explore how mobile technology impacts information sharing and consumers.

The Future of Social Networking

Adam Nash

Future Of Learning; Part II

Anne Bartlett-Bragg

This document discusses the future of learning and how it will become smarter, simpler, and more social. Learning will be personalized and accessible anywhere through new technologies like augmented reality, ubiquitous computing, and smart devices. This will impact learners by providing information in incomplete chunks without proper context unless educators guide learners. Educators must help learners make sense of information, reflect critically, and collaborate to build collective intelligence. The future role of educators will be to facilitate networks and empower self-directed, autonomous learning while supporting learners' development.

IntelliKnow Datasheet

Jason Brown

Intelligent Event Analysis is a network-activity centric solution that relies on mature network sensing technology combined with analytical metrics and taxonomies to provide insight into enterprise information flows. It delivers visibility into an organization's structured and unstructured workflow through social network graphing, email content analysis, and monitoring of enterprise application usage, web activity, voice calls, and instant messages. This helps organizations understand how connected they are internally, identify key networks, discover how knowledge is exchanged, and gain strategic insights.

New roles and new skills for km (isko)

Collabor8now Ltd

In order to improve personal and organizational knowledge, people have to take time to make sense of the information torrent. If not, it remains merely information. Unfortunately, many of today’s knowledge workers don’t have the time, discipline or the essential skills to select, filter, evaluate and comprehend their multifarious information sources. This can lead to missed opportunities, poor decision-making and suboptimal performance. The 21st century knowledge worker needs to be confident and comfortable with using social technologies and engaging with communities and social learning networks to update his or her knowledge in order to remain relevant. This session explores some of the tools, skills and processes that can help with information sense-making, and looks at the emergent roles of the Community Manager and Digital Curator in delivering value to learning networks.

Social Intranets in Social Business

Lee Bryant

The document discusses the evolution of intranets from static repositories of information to social intranets that enable collaboration and participation. It notes common problems with traditional intranets like one-way communication and outdated information. The presentation advocates for a social business design approach where sharing is a byproduct of work and the intranet is where work actually gets done. It also discusses trends like mobility, social media, cloud computing and data analytics that can help make technology more human-centered.

Towards user co-creation of value on the Internet-of-Things (IoT)

trappenl

With the promise of an Internet-of-Things, an abundance of connected smart objects around us will collaborate to deliver us novel services that we couldn’t have dreamt of before. But, how should we, as an industry, prepare for this? How can we create (new) value for our customers? Let’s start with some history. In the last years, the general availability of creation tools and distribution mechanisms for digital media has resulted in a so-called long tail of user created digital artefacts complementing the commercial offering of online media. Everyone can now create movies and put them on YouTube. A similar trend is ongoing for web resources where toolkits for creating mash-ups are complemented with online communities for sharing APIs and code. I will present some inhibiting factors that prevent this wave of mass creativity to start in the world of connected Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. How can people trust services delivered by the IoT? How can they understand the services delivered to them by the smart environment? And, finally, how can users actively participate in this Internet-of-Things, as they do now on the Web? I will zoom into this last aspect by addressing the required tools and sharing mechanisms for non-technical users to participate and co-create value on the Internet-of-Things. I will use SenseTale.com as one example trying to fill this gap. SenseTale is a live research prototype resulting from multi-disciplinary research that offers an online marketplace for IoT applications, real-time data and user created high-level abstractions thereof. SenseTale offers a first glimpse of a 3-sided marketplace where creative users, developers, and device manufacturers meet.

hcid2011 - RED: a multi-disciplinary approach to experience design - Jarnail ...

City University London

This document discusses a multi-disciplinary approach called RED (Research, Envision, Design) for experience design. It emphasizes hypothesis-driven research, capability modeling, and scenario planning to envision solutions. The design process involves concept and product design, workload definition, and user-centered and comparative design. Delivery focuses on proof of concepts, vision demonstrators, and investment cases. Examples discussed include an assisted living innovation platform and projects helping organizations promote digital literacy and envision breakthrough customer experiences.

Social Intranet

Danilo Corci

This document promotes a social intranet solution from Jive Software. It summarizes that traditional intranets focused only on content without enabling collaboration, but social intranets add social features like profiles, groups, activity streams. This turns employees into information curators and addresses challenges like inefficient searching and information silos. Social intranets drive cross-department collaboration and have proven successful for customers like Alcatel-Lucent, Bupa, and CSC in boosting productivity, engagement, and information sharing. Jive offers an all-in-one social intranet solution with features for mobile access, Outlook integration, and prescriptive services.

Digital learning; connected, collaborated and constructed

Jacob Theilgaard

Digital learning is becoming increasingly connected, collaborative, and constructed. The shift to horizontal communication networks organized around the internet and wireless technologies has introduced new communication patterns and represents a fundamental cultural transformation as virtuality becomes an essential dimension of reality. Networked intelligence relies on collaboration, openness, sharing, integrity, and interdependence. Personal learning environments allow for learning through experiences outside of formal contexts using a personal learning network and personal web tools. Constructivism deals with how people create meaning through individual constructs, and connectivism views learning as occurring inside and outside people through storing knowledge in computers and other individuals.

Digital literacy - a new language for disruption

Joyce Hostyn

The document discusses the concept of digital literacy and how it is becoming increasingly important. It notes that 80% of CIOs surveyed felt that their top management was not fully digitally literate. It also contains quotes about how the illiterate of the 21st century will be those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn. Overall, the document emphasizes that digital literacy and the ability to adapt to changes in digital technology will be crucial for individuals, organizations and societies going forward.

The Future Of Learning

Anne Bartlett-Bragg

Smarter technologies will be embedded everywhere and know everything about us, adapting our environment based on our behaviors and preferences. This will impact organizational learning by providing unlimited access to information but potentially resulting in dislocated, incomplete learning without critical reflection. The solution involves facilitating individual and group sense-making through reflection, action, collection, creativity and collaboration supported by social networks. Educators' roles may evolve to become trusted advisors who guide learners in establishing social networks and empower personal development. Building the future involves reframing concepts of learning, rethinking relationships with information, and reinvigorating practices to fulfill learning purposes.

Social collaboration and your business

HyperOffice

The document discusses social collaboration using HyperOffice Social. It introduces social collaboration as applying social media concepts to core business problems like collaboration. HyperOffice Social achieves a balance between collaboration tools and social media by combining their benefits, allowing structured business data and conversations while encouraging sharing. The software's features include social messaging, activity walls, and attaching business documents and records to conversations for context.

Man-Made Humans

YUJ Designs Pvt. Ltd.

In this new era of technological advancement, where we just don’t touch screens to command apps but also talk to our devices to make things work. Though that’s very exciting, but these technologies are meaningless if they aren’t humanized to build trust and relation with the consumer. Some of the large innovative companies who have advanced in AI & Robotics have already started thinking like a digital humanist and believing that technology is truly effective only when it allows people to accomplish things they didn’t know they could. Hence designers working on emerging technology should have the ability to apply basic human psychology and design from a place of empathy and humility. This imposes new ways and standards to design human interactions. Here am talking about the new opportunities taking shapes for UX designers to get prepared and address the challenges in humanizing the user experience for the emerging technologies.
