9 Visualization In E Social Science
1. Visualizations are a core application of e-science that can help mediate between humans and complex datasets by highlighting patterns and selecting relevant data for analysis.
2. Examples of social science visualizations discussed include History Flow for tracking Wikipedia edits, Evolino simulations of group dynamics, and treemap diagrams of Usenet postings.
3. New "born digital" visualizations like Blog Pulse and TouchGraph provide fast, free online tools to visualize trends in blogs and relationships between websites.
Georgia Pacific—Case Competition
Georgia-Pacific produces Sparkle paper towels and needs to ensure continuous production if their primary supplier of a key chemical has issues. The primary supplier is having production problems starting September 1st. The objectives are to develop a short-term plan using alternate suppliers and a long-term plan if needed. The short-term plan is to purchase the chemical from Supplier 2 on a spot basis. If that doesn't work, Supplier 4 would be used as a backup. The long-term plan would establish a new contract with Supplier 5 for October and November.
Second Life 9th Birthday Virtual Learning Spaces Presentation
This document summarizes the development of a virtual field school simulation set in El Cerrito Village, New Mexico. It describes gathering data like photographs and videos of the real village. The simulation was built in Second Life and includes structures, terrain, and interactive elements to educate students. A hybrid online course was designed around the simulation, with discussions, assignments, and a live lecture in Second Life. The project aims to bring the feel of an in-person field experience to online learners.
2. intro to java
This document provides an introduction to the Java programming language. It discusses Java's characteristics such as being architecturally neutral, portable, robust, and object-oriented. The document explains object-oriented features in Java like encapsulation, polymorphism, inheritance, and dynamic binding. It also lists some important classes in Java like Class, Throwable, Runtime, and Math. The document is intended to provide a high-level overview of Java for fresher developers.
Moon Math Project
We solved equations to determine the intersection point of missiles launched by North Korea and the United States, saving the Moon from nuclear warheads. By plotting the points of each missile and finding the lines of best fit, we calculated their intersection would occur 232,323 miles from Earth on the tenth day. We confirmed this without electronics by solving the equations simultaneously. In conclusion, America saved the Moon by intercepting the North Korean missile according to data mapping the missiles' projected paths.
I Roscilli Final Presentation
I Roscilli seeks to expand its frozen mushroom and truffle business globally, starting with the US market. Its goals are to introduce its new "gli ExPorcini" branding and establish itself in America using its core competencies of quality products, innovative packaging, and diverse product lines. It will target high-end grocery stores and consumers through education on product benefits. Implementation will start with introduction of family-sized products and innovative packaging with recipes at a lower price point, distributed through an international partner. Promotion will include celebrity endorsements, television ads, trade shows, billboards, and grocery store marketing. After 5 years of growth, adjustments will be made based on consumer preferences and joint ventures pursued, with

Lecture 7 in the Glass Class course. Presented on February 21st 2014 by Mark Billinghurst. This lecture discusses directions for future research using Google Glass.
UXPA 2023 Poster: Are virtual spaces the future of video conferencing?
Virtual spaces are simulated environments that can range from VR to 2D interfaces, touted as the future of video conferencing. However, they may pose accessibility issues and not be preferred over traditional non-spatial platforms. While virtual spaces could enhance social connection, their complexity risks excluding some users. A combined platform allowing choice of interface could provide an improved experience while maintaining inclusiveness.
The computer as a tool in teaching and learning
This document discusses new digitally supported learning environments and their implications. It begins by explaining why these new environments have emerged and moved from collaborative to participative models. It then describes how concepts like connectivism, communities of learning, and c-learning have influenced this transition. Examples of tools like Google Docs, Dropbox, blogs, wikis, and Khan Academy are provided. Finally, it discusses implications of these new environments for concepts like assessment, authenticity, transparency, and engagement.
Cloudengine at SEDA 2011

SLOODLE for MoodleMoot SF '09
SLOODLE has moved recently from an experimental system to one actively used by a small but growing number of educators around the globe, and in a growing range of disciplines. This presentation will briefly
outline what SLOODLE is and what SLOODLE does - explaining why integrating two such diverse platforms can be of benefit to educators and students. Examples and case-studies drawn from different classes that have been taught using Second Life and Moodle using SLOODLE will be used to illustrate the presentation. Preliminary results from user surveys (with tutors and students) will also be discussed.

3B_4_Rate-my-place
Rate my place is a social networking application that allows users to collaboratively define vernacular or informal geographic areas by crowdsourcing perceptions. Users can spray a region on a map, associate a place name, and rate the area as love, like, dislike or hate. The data is collected to build a dataset of vernacular areas and a rating map showing average opinions. A pilot with 24 users found the system simple to use and fun. Future work includes exploring how user context like location influences perceptions and comparing user-defined areas to official boundaries.

The document summarizes the key technologies identified in the 2009 Horizon Report as having significant impact on higher education over the next five years. It highlights six technologies: mobile devices, cloud computing, geo-everything, the personal web, semantic-aware applications, and smart objects. For each technology, it provides a brief description and estimated timeline for adoption (less than one year to four-five years).
GeoWeb2009 presentation: Long Island Index & OASIS
The document discusses leveraging interactive AJAX web tools for online map presentations. It describes challenges in displaying multivariate data and spatial patterns on maps. It then summarizes using a hybrid "geo stack" approach combining open source and proprietary technologies like ArcGIS and OpenLayers to build interactive online maps for projects in New York that allow users to visualize and explore community data.
The Changing Landscape of Learning Technologies (
The document discusses emerging learning technologies and their impact on education. It describes how technologies are shifting from faculty-driven content to more student-centered, constructivist models. Current technologies like LMSs are limiting due to lack of interoperability. Emerging technologies like Web 2.0 tools, virtual worlds, and personal learning environments give more control to students. The document predicts that within 5 years, technologies will continue to decentralize away from monolithic LMS toward open, layered systems and more student-driven digital content creation and collaboration.
