The document provides an analysis of the opportunity for Project Phoenix, a proposed social learning platform. It introduces the team behind the project and recaps their mission/vision. Customer interviews with teachers, students, and parents provided feedback that was used to modify the initial business model. A market sizing analysis estimated the total addressable market for classroom software in India to be around $250 million, with a serviceable market of around $83 million for Project Phoenix. Next steps include building a higher quality prototype, creating a marketing page, finalizing an opportunity execution plan, and creating a personal business plan.

Spatial Sound 4: Getting the Best Surround AroundRichard Elen
Part 4 of a series of four presentations that formed the basis of my short course on spatial audio for artists at the Music Department, Ionian University, Corfu, July 2008
Opencloudware, a Paas management stack over multiple clouds, Daniel Stern, O...OW2
The main way to “go cloud” has proved to be, for security and economic reasons, hybrid : mixing private with public. Moving to Cloud PaaS is then requires to: manage the lifecycle of applications over different cloud providers; mask the heterogeneity; automate the deployment whatever the application technology and execution environment are, etc. This is what tackles OpenCloudware, which aims at enabling flexible multi-cloud applications thanks to a full automated think-build-run chain.
In the paper we present a sample from OpenCloudware results demonstrating in particular a complete mechanism, comprising: application selection, deployment, benchmarking.
Hammr Project Update: Machine Images and Docker Containers for your Cloud, OW...OW2
Hammr is an OW2 open source, command-line tool for creating consistent and repeatable machine images for different cloud or virtual environments, or migrating live systems from one environment to another. Designed for cloud era environments, where agility and automation are key, hammr helps organizations automate the creation of machine images for hybrid environments. This presentation will focus on the hybrid capabilities of hammr for any virtual or cloud target environment. It will also include a focus on DevOps and Docker integration, and show how hammr can be used to quickly build and run Docker images, helping accelerate development and test processes among other benefits. Finally, we will present the latest hammr features, including the ability for cloud providers to customize target platforms and expose their own IaaS infrastructure as top-level branded objects accessible via hammr, thus easing the path from user images to their cloud infrastructure.
The XLcloud project strives to establish the demonstration of a High Performance Cloud Computing (HPCC) platform based on OpenStack that is designed to run a representative set of compute intensive workloads. Two Use Cases will be demonstrated during this presentation. First, the interventional radiology use case of the XLCloud project has the goal to show that the XLCLoud platform can be used to leverage an application requiring both interaction and high performance computing. This simulator, developed by CEA and Esprimed, allows medical staff to prepare or replay an intervention in a 3D interactive environment (manipulation of the radiological system, position of people and their protections) while having the benefit of precise estimation of the dose they are exposed to through a 3D monte carlo simulation optimized in order to provide results in interactive time. The second use case will be based on cloud gaming and 3D visualization. XLcloud is a three-year long collaborative project funded by the French FSN (Fonds national pour la Société Numérique) programme.
Multimedia document processing using the Weblab platform: AXES project use ca...OW2
AXES (http://axes-project.eu) was a project co-funded by the European Union’s Seventh Programme for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration. The goal of AXES was to develop tools that provide various types of users with new engaging ways to interact with audiovisual libraries, helping them to discover, browse, search and enrich video archives.
The OW2 WebLab (http://weblab-project.org) integration platform for multimedia processing has been used to aggregate the services developed by 9 partners in order to build the three demonstrators targeting various user groups: the media professionals, the journalists and researchers as well as the home users.
As a result of the AXES project, OW2 "Open AXES", is born. It provides a complete solution that gathers innovative audiovisual content analysis technologies (shot and keyframes detection, image classification, speech transcription, large scale indexing, similarity search, etc.) as well as an ergonomic interface to retrieve and navigate in video archives.
Blend is a digital learning platform that is faciliatted by the effective combination of different modes of delivery, models of teaching and styles of learning. It has aimed to combine particular forms of teaching with technology in order to provide a one-top solution to the haphazard lives of students. The basic idea is to cater the class room problems faced by both, students and intructors.
The major objectives behind adoption of Blend is to boost students’ involvement with the subject by engaging students in discussion forums and hence make the subject as interactive and dynamic as possible, which would further help students to envelop their communication skills.

Technology. We’re surrounded by it, and so are our tech-savvy students. In many cases, our students are very comfortable with the latest technologies and have a good grasp of how to use them. There is also the emerging student attribute of self-reflection and evaluation: "What went well?"; "What didn’t go so well?"; "How might you improve for next time?"
The challenge is changing the way students, especially adult learners, use these technologies within the classroom when they have already established fixed ways of doing things. With some simple planning, teacher consideration and guidance, these technologies can be used to benefit students’ learning and guide their reflection process.
In this presentation, Mark Parry highlights some of the ways he and his colleagues use technology to support student reflection when facilitating face-to-face and blended courses. Mark demonstrates how everyday technologies can be used to help you support students to reflect upon a range of learning outcomes related to core knowledge and transferable skills including communication, time management, working within a team, problem-solving and developing a strong work ethic.
