ETOM 2011 - State of the (Mobile) Union
In theory, most learners are mobile. Many have a smart phone, tablet, netbook or laptop. Are they actually engaged in mobile learning? Are we providing content for the mobile environment? Come hear how one community college (GRCC) sees the "State of the (Mobile) Union!" Participants will get an opportunity to try new mobile apps and use the iPad, iPhone and other mobile technologies. They will also get to experience and share examples of mobile learning.
CSUN Mobile Library by Helfer Woodley Altmanfinal
The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by Oviatt Library on mobile user trends and library mobile services usage. The survey was completed by 84% undergraduates, 11.5% graduates and 4.5% faculty/staff. It found that smartphones are most commonly used, with features like social media, texting and games being popular. Respondents indicated interest in using library mobile services for searching the catalog, databases and guides. The library plans to prioritize adding requested features and monitor market trends.
Chapter 13
This document discusses the impact of technology on education. It describes how the Information Age has led to learning becoming a shared responsibility between teachers and students, with teachers taking on more of a facilitator role. Technology provides greater access to educational programs and interactive learning opportunities. It also discusses trends like the establishment of standards and the development of new fields like consumer informatics. The document outlines various technologies used in education like the World Wide Web, e-mail, discussion groups, and distance education, noting both advantages and disadvantages. It also addresses issues like the digital divide and promoting inclusion for those with disabilities.
Cyber Ed
This document proposes a standardized cyber security education platform to address the lack of cybersecurity training. It notes that 52% of security breaches are caused by human error due to inadequate user education. The proposed platform would provide cross-platform security training modules in an gamified format to certify users without requiring in-depth technical knowledge. This could incentivize colleges and companies to provide cybersecurity education to users. Financial projections estimate charging $4-6 per student and $2-4 per faculty member based on completing training modules. The milestones include implementing a prototype with a college IT department and involving more campuses and nationwide colleges over time.
There's an App for That
This document discusses the increasing use of mobile devices and apps in health and science education. It notes that tablet ownership, especially of iPads, has grown significantly in recent years.

Impacts of ‘School Chooser’ Digital Tools - Eric Reese (Center for Government...
This was presented by Eric Reese from the Center for Government Excellence at Johns Hopkins University at the Impacts of Civic Technology Conference (TICTeC@Taipei) in Taipei on 12th September 2017. You can find out more information about the conference here: http://civictechfest.org/agenda
Abstract:
In this time of rising inequality and urban population growth, cities face real problems trying to achieve equity in service quality and access for their residents.
Schooling presents a particularly large challenge — and when the sole determinant of which school children attend is their residential address, it can produce a spiral of unequal schooling conditions that are difficult to remedy.
One solution is the creation of specializations in schools and attendance rules that permit children to matriculate across a range of schools. Through this technique, the close relationship between housing price and school resources can somewhat loosen, the resources of wealthier families can flow to a wider array of schools, and children from less-wealthy households can gain the advantages of a more economically diverse school environment and increased choice for where their children attend school.
Civic Technology tools are playing a key role in improving the availability of information about schooling options to parents and increasing their interest in schools beyond their closest option. Eric examines the development process and effects of several “school chooser” tools currently implemented in the US and European cities of Vilnius, Boston, and Oakland.
Marc hoit University Campus - Microcosm of the future
This document discusses trends in technology use at universities and on NC State's campus. It notes that students are early adopters of mobile technology, while faculty have unique teaching and research needs. The top IT issues for universities include funding, systems, teaching/learning technology, security, and mobility. At NC State, most students own laptops and mobile internet devices. The document outlines several IT projects at NC State focusing on mobile initiatives, social media, and instructional technology to support these trends.
Banning or Embracing of Mobile Technology
The document discusses whether schools should ban or embrace mobile devices. It notes the increasing use of mobile devices among students and discusses both the disruptive uses and potential as an instructional tool. While some schools have banned devices, others are embracing them and developing policies for appropriate use. The document examines case studies and pilot programs where schools have successfully used devices for blended learning, research, and organization. It concludes by asking the audience to consider whether mobile devices should be banned or embraced in schools.
Digital inclusion training
This document discusses digital inclusion and outlines three key components: broadband access, a computer, and digital skills. It notes that over half of those not online cite a lack of skills or understanding as the reason. The document then introduces several Minnesota-based tools and organizations that provide digital literacy assessment, standards, and training to help address this skills gap. These include a community survey, digital literacy standards, and collaborative nonprofit groups working in various communities across the state.
Mobile eportfolios
This document discusses using mobile applications for assessment ePortfolios. It summarizes trials using various apps like Evernote, Facebook, Google+, and allowing student choice. Key findings include that Evernote was good for organizing content but lacked collaboration. Facebook was easy for feedback but hard to use. Allowing student choice led to discovering better ways to record learning. Most students found mobile apps easier than desktop. It concludes apps should be learned thoroughly before using, expect surprises, get outside feedback, and consider letting students choose platforms.

Rethinking the Role of Work, Technology, and Rural Healthcare
The document discusses emerging technologies and their impact on rural healthcare work. It explores how technologies enable more collaborative and distributed work. Trends in eHealth like mobile apps, online communities, and remote diagnostics are creating opportunities for rural healthcare professionals by improving access to education, communication, and care delivery. However, challenges remain around adoption due to issues like resistance to change and lack of technical expertise. Effective integration requires planning, testing, training and ensuring solutions are driven by clinical needs rather than technology alone.
Digital Activism: Relevance to Socially Excluded Communities in India
This document discusses digital activism and its potential relevance to socially excluded communities in India. It notes that while digital tools can enable critique and mobilization against injustice, unequal access to technology and skills restricts their use. Specifically, traditional political activities remain dominated by high-income and educated groups. However, some data shows untapped potential among excluded groups with growing mobile access. The objectives are to examine how digital activism advances rights-based campaigns in India and whether it enables traditionally excluded communities to strengthen organizing and influence policy. The proposed methodology includes qualitative case studies of digital technology's role in dalit or women's movements, and quantitative analysis of digital advocacy organizations' reach among excluded groups.

Mobile Learning - City of Glasgow College - June2014
The document provides an overview of mobile learning presented by Joan Walker at City of Glasgow College. It discusses definitions of mobile learning, benefits such as accessibility and convenience, challenges for learners and institutions, and examples of mobile apps that can support learning and the learning process. Key points covered include the increasing ubiquity of mobile devices, the Gartner Hype Cycle for emerging technologies, augmented reality tools for education, and a link for additional evaluation resources.
Adaptation
The document discusses various types of tissue regeneration and healing processes in the body. There are two main types of healing - regeneration, which results in complete restoration of original tissues, and repairing through proliferation of connective tissue leading to scarring. Regeneration can be physiological, reparative, or restructive/pathological. Reparative regeneration aims to renew damaged tissue with similar structures. Repairing occurs through proliferation of connective tissue and fibrosis. The levels and outcomes of reparative and pathological regeneration depend on the extent of damage and tissue/organ involved. Compensation processes help adapt cells and organs to changing conditions through apoptosis, aplasia, atresia, hypoplasia, and malformations.
Making Smartphones Smarter in the Library: Reaching Mobile Users with QR Code
This document discusses how libraries can use QR codes to reach mobile users. It begins by explaining what QR codes are and how they work. It then discusses various non-library uses of QR codes before focusing on how libraries can implement QR codes for wayfinding, online forms, research assistance, services, announcements, and exhibits. The document also covers best practices for generating and tracking QR codes as well as potential benefits and drawbacks.

Degrees and opposites in ancient philosophy
This document provides a historical overview of ancient philosophical positions on being, non-being, and opposites. It discusses the views of Heraclitus, Parmenides, Anaxagoras, Plato, and Aristotle. Heraclitus believed opposites were unified through change and transition, while Parmenides rejected degrees of being and argued for an all-or-nothing ontology. Anaxagoras proposed his principle of universal mixture to address how change occurs if being cannot come from non-being, as Parmenides claimed. The document aims to establish links between philosophical schools and relevant ontological theories.

Mobile device usage has surpassed desktop usage, with the top activities being texting, emailing, using social media platforms like Facebook, taking photos with cameras, reading news, online shopping, and checking the weather. Two-thirds of the world's population now owns at least one mobile device. Mobile apps allow businesses to create brand awareness, engage customers through in-app offers and promotions, and increase access to users by providing local information and driving in-person visits. There are three main types of mobile apps: native apps designed for specific platforms, web-based apps that function through a browser, and hybrid apps that combine native and web-based elements.
