The Right Txt: Implementation of Text Messaging for Interlibrary Loan at Ohio...
The document discusses the Ohio University Libraries' use of text messaging for interlibrary loan notifications. It provides background on why texting was adopted, how notifications are sent for requests, renewals, overdues and articles, and changes made to simplify messages for a mobile format. Feedback indicates patrons appreciate simplified, to-the-point messages and find texting a good way to receive updates. Minor issues include occasional non-delivery and links not working, but on balance texting is deemed worthwhile.
Motorola-Lateral-Thinking-Six-Hats-Case-Study
Motorola used Six Thinking Hats and Lateral Thinking techniques over three days to develop a new handheld device. On the first day, they analyzed consumer profiles to understand existing markets. The second day involved brainstorming new technology capabilities and ideas for a "product of the future" using techniques like Reverse Provocation. This led to the idea of the Accompli, a mobile business tool with a keyboard, internet access, and apps. The final day involved analyzing a day in the life of a user to refine the Accompli's features. Motorola then successfully introduced the Accompli in various markets.

Big Data in NATO and Your Role
"Big Data" is term heard more and more in industry – but what does it really mean? There is a vagueness to the term reminiscent of that experienced in the early days of cloud computing. This has led to a number of implications for various industries and enterprises. These range from identifying the actual skills needed to recruit talent to articulating the requirements of a "big data" project. Secondary implications include difficulties in finding solutions that are appropriate to the problems at hand – versus solutions looking for problems. This presentation will take a look at Big Data and offer the audience with some considerations they may use immediately to assess the use of analytics in solving their problems.
The talk begins with an idea of how big "Big Data" can be. This leads to an appreciation of how important "Management Questions" are to assessing analytic needs. The fields of data and analysis have become extremely important and impact nearly all facets of life and business. During the talk we will look at the two pillars of Big Data – Data Warehousing and Predictive Analytics. Then we will explore the open source tools and datasets available to NATO action officers to work in this domain. Use cases relevant to NATO will be explored with the purpose of show where analytics lies hidden within many of the day-to-day problems of enterprises. The presentation will close with a look at the future. Advances in the area of semantic technologies continue. The much acclaimed consultants at Gartner listed Big Data and Semantic Technologies as the first- and third-ranked top technology trends to modernize information management in the coming decade. They note there is an incredible value "locked inside all this ungoverned and underused information." HQ SACT can leverage this powerful analytic approach to capture requirement trends when establishing acquisition strategies, monitor Priority Shortfall Areas, prepare solicitations, and retrieve meaningful data from archives.
Augmented Reality Session - December 2013
This document discusses augmented reality, providing an overview of what it is and examples of how it can be used for education and other purposes. It then demonstrates how to create and interact with augmented reality content using the Aurasma platform, encouraging participants to think about how they could use augmented reality in their own teaching sessions. Hands-on activities are provided to allow participants to create and experience augmented reality.
Modelling 100+ Applications for Learning Activities
Several attempts have been made and approaches have been developed to relate traditional classroom practices and actions with the continuously evolving technology. One of the most known, is based in the Revised Bloom Taxonomy (by Anderson and Krathwohl), and has spread, among others, as Digital Taxonomies, and are now referred to as Digital Competences. Some of these approaches or models involve a hierarchy of cognitive levels, and try to relate action verbs, with educational activities and corresponding applications. Different implementations of the aforementioned models and frameworks exist. We choose to present two approaches, based on models, that contain 100+ apps usable and suitable for education and every-day school activities.

Wearable Ecologies - Insights From Intel Sponsored Course
This stack is a compilation of projects and insights on wearables and their implications. It is based on an Intel sponsored studio taught by Philip van Allen, Ben Hooker, and Wendy March (of Intel) in the Art Center College of Design, Media Design Practices MFA program.
The project brief was to discover new approaches to wearable technologies rather than design a specific product. Out of these experimental and speculative projects by the students, Phil and Ben sought to distill insights that can inform future design work in the wearables area. These are in the second part of the stack, starting with a mapping of the ideas.
We were particularly interested in the three themes of the course: Transactions, Contextual Adaptability, and the Aesthetics of Behavior.

This document discusses using an escape room game to teach library literacy skills to first-year experience (FYE) students. The library staff purchased escape room kits and modified templates to create games focused on the library's digital and physical spaces. Topics included navigating the library website, using maps to find resources, and locating subject specialists. Over 150 students completed post-game surveys, with most reporting increased familiarity with the library website and building and better retention of specific information. The library plans to continue modifying and expanding the escape room program annually to further engage students.

Outreach at a mid-size academic library.
The document discusses various outreach programs at a mid-size academic library. It describes Mane Month which introduces freshmen and transfers to library resources. It also discusses a personal librarian program, use of social media like Facebook and Instagram to promote events, restroom signage, a presence in the campus commons with extended hours and activities, pop-up reference services, a digital display with news and ads, digital badges for information literacy skills, midterm events, a faculty lecture series, expanded hours and stress-reducing activities and food during finals weeks, and future plans to continue outreach.

This study examined how presentation format influences perceptions of authority for various social media posts containing claims. Participants viewed memes and videos making unbelievable claims about topics like Avril Lavigne and McDonald's food. Results showed that memes were perceived as less authoritative than text or videos. Certain claims were viewed as more believable when presented in video versus meme format. Overall, participants did not believe the claims, showing all the stories were false or exaggerated.

This document discusses how the perceived credibility of information can change based on the authority providing the information. It presents several hypothetical news stories and identifies the authority for each story. It then asks the reader to rate their perceived credibility of each story both before and after revealing the authority providing the information. The aim is to demonstrate how exposing the authority can influence one's perception of the credibility of the information or story.

This document discusses adapting first-year instruction sessions in critical thinking and information literacy from in-person to remote digital formats while maintaining engagement. It provides details on typical in-class activities for different courses and which can be effectively replicated online through lecture modules or activities. While some interactive activities do not translate well digitally, alternatives like research consultations and virtual meetings are suggested as supplements. The goal is to accommodate students taking classes online or missing sessions with comparable online content.
Escape! Using an escape room game to teach library resources.
The document describes an escape room game developed by a university library to teach first-year experience (FYE) students about library resources. The previous activity of an "Amazing Library Race" was outdated, so the library created escape room games that were more relevant, interactive, competitive, and fun for students. Over 750 FYE students participated in 36 class visits where they worked in teams to "escape" from the escape room and save the library from sabotage by a rival university. Initial feedback from students and faculty was positive, and early results from a post-survey indicate the escape room approach improved information retention compared to the previous activity.

Incorporating Digital Instruction and Video Conferencing into your Classroom
This document discusses various digital tools for incorporating video instruction and conferencing into the classroom. It describes how to create instructional videos using YouTube, Camtasia, and Screencast-o-matic for hosting or embedding in courses. Powtoon is presented as an option for making promotional videos. Google Hangouts allows for video conferencing and screen sharing. Bigbluebutton integrates video conferencing directly into the Canvas learning management system and allows recordings to be saved. Both tools provide opportunities for remote instruction but Bigbluebutton requires more time for set up within Canvas.

This document summarizes changes made by Ohio University Libraries to simplify communication with patrons and increase transactions. They streamlined interlibrary loan request forms by removing unnecessary fields. They also implemented text messaging for notifications by using phone number-based email addresses. Patrons can now sign up for text alerts about availability, overdues, and returns. The library also uses QR codes in advertising to link to a mobile sign up page. Future plans include a fully-functional mobile environment and expanding text message notifications.

The document discusses various strategies for communicating with student employees and patrons using text messaging and social media. It focuses on the remind101 service, which allows instructors to send one-way text messages to groups without the ability to reply. The document also discusses using email to carrier gateways to send texts, Facebook messaging, and QR codes to provide links to sign up for text messages. Overall, the key strategies presented are using remind101 and text messaging through email to notify students and patrons of events, shifts, announcements, and material availability through one-way communication methods.
