Fall 2011 Section 5T1 Syllabus
GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Instructional Technology EDIT 772: Introduction to Web 2.0 / Social Software Tools (2 graduate credit hours) Fall 2011 COURSE DATES: meets online Aug 29, 2011 - Nov 04, 2011 and has a required synchronous meeting the last week of the class. INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION Name: Jane Bozarth, [email protected] / Google Voice 919 789 1611 Virtual Office Hours: Mondays, 6:30-7pm with notification and other times by appointment. COURSE DESCRIPTION The purpose of this course is to explore examples of emerging technology use commonly referred to as Web 2.0. The course focuses, from an e-learning perspective, on the pedagogical applications and implications of a particular group of Web 2.0 or social software tools that facilitate web-based social interaction, content generation, and resource aggregation. Examples of social software include content, media, or collaboration management frameworks such as blogs, wikis, Flickr, YouTube, RSS feed readers, and iTunes, relationship management frameworks such as Facebook and Ning, and distributed classification frameworks (or social bookmarking services), such as Delicious. Students will also be introduced to broader patterns of Web 2.0 technologies, such as rich Internet applications, mash-ups, widgets, and much more. Virtual worlds, augmented reality, mobile devices and gaming are not covered in this course. The course goals bridge three broad areas: to provide an engaging overview of cutting-edge social technologies, to identify and evaluate best educational practices for using these technologies, and to investigate the role of these technologies for online learning. Social software has the potential to transform teaching practices as it supports the creation of highly constructivist learning communities. -

APLICACIÓ RICA D’INTERNET PER A LA CONSULTA AMB TEXT I IMATGE AL REPOSITORI DE VÍDEOS DE LA CORPORACIÓ CATALANA DE MITJANS AUDIOVISUALS RAMON SALLA ROVIRA TUTORITZAT PER XAVIER GIRÓ I XAVIER VIVES 1 MOTIVACIÓ Fa més de dos anys vaig entrar a treballar a la Corporació Catalana de Mitjans Audiovisuals per donar suport a diferents projectes subvencionats a nivell estatal i europeu. El present document és la memòria del projecte final de carrera realitzat en aquesta empresa durant l’any 2009. La Corporació és una empresa catalana puntera en innovació en el camp dels mitjans de comunicació destinada al servei públic per transmetre informació i entreteniment amb la màxima qualitat possible. Entrar-hi a treballar ha suposat un revulsiu en la meva orientació com a enginyer i m’ha introduït a un sector, destinat a la producció, postproducció, emmagatzematge, cerca, indexació i distribució. Aquesta experiència ha estat, com a mínim, apassionant. El projecte i3media1, subvencionat per l’estat espanyol, pretén unir en un sol marc col·laboratiu empreses punteres del sector per tal d’impulsar els continguts intel·ligents, la personalització i els processos automàtics. Comptar dins d’aquest projecte amb el grup de recerca de processat de la imatge de la Universitat Politècnica de Barcelona (GPI) és una idoneïtat que em permet mantenir les arrels amb la meva universitat. Aquest fet, em porta a tirar endavant aquest projecte final de carrera que culmina la meva aspiració de ser enginyer i permet aportar el meu humil gra d’arena a l’ambiciós projecte del que tinc l’orgull i la sort de formar part. -

``Even More Or Less'': a Data-Rich Interactive Podcast Player
“Even More or Less”: A data-rich interactive podcast player Dr. Chris Baume BBC Research and Development London, UK [email protected] ABSTRACT Podcast players make poor use of the capabilities of the screen-based devices people use to listen. We present a podcast playback interface that displays charts, links, topics and contributors on an interactive transcript-based interface. We describe how we used paper prototyping to design the interface and what we learnt by doing so. We share preliminary results from a public online evaluation of the interface, which indicate that it was well-received. The new features were considered interesting, informative and useful, with charts and transcripts emerging as the most popular features.

The Web 2.0 Way of Learning with Technologies Herwig Rollett

Rollett et al. Abstract: While there is a lot of hype around various concepts associated with the term Web 2.0 in industry, little academic research has so far been conducted on the implications of this new approach for the domain of education. Much of what goes by the name of Web 2.0 can, in fact, be regarded as a new kind of learning technologies, and can be utilised as such. This paper explains the background of Web 2.0, investigates the implications for knowledge transfer in general, and then discusses its particular use in eLearning contexts with the help of short scenarios. The main challenge in the future will be to maintain essential Web 2.0 attributes, such as trust, openness, voluntariness and self-organisation, when applying Web 2.0 tools in institutional contexts. -

A Web Desktop Or Webtop Is a Desktop Environment Embedded in a Web Browser Or Similar Client Application
II BASIC THEORY II.1 What is Web Desktop? A web desktop or webtop is a desktop environment embedded in a web browser or similar client application. A webtop integrates web applications, web services, client-server applications, application servers, and applications on the local client into a desktop environment using the desktop metaphor. Web desktops provide an environment similar to that of Windows, Mac, or a graphical user interface on Unix and Linux systems. It is a virtual desktop running in a web browser. In a webtop the applications, data, files, configuration, settings, and access privileges reside remotely over the network. Much of the computing takes place remotely. The browser is primarily used for display and input purposes. II.2 History In the context of a web desktop, the term Webtop was first introduced by the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) in 1994 for a web-based interface to their UNIX operating system. Andy Bovingdon and Ronald Joe Record, who both explored the concepts in different directions, are often credited as the inventors. II.3 About eyeOS eyeOS is an open source web desktop written in mainly PHP, XML, and JavaScript. It acts as a platform for web applications written using the eyeOS Toolkit. It includes a Desktop environment with 67 applications and system utilities. It is accessible by portable devices via internet. III.3 eyeOS Implementation III.3.1 Advantages of eyeOS • Convenience: A personalized desktop on every supported client device • Mobility: Access your desktop anywhere there is a supported client device • Session Management: Server-side session management allows roaming users to access restored sessions from anywhere III.3.2 Limitations Security: Due to the fact that all data is transferred over the internet, it might be possible for a hacker to intercept the connection and read data. -
JSON Application Programming Interface for Discrete Event Simulation Data Exchange
JSON Application Programming Interface for Discrete Event Simulation data exchange Ioannis Papagiannopoulos Enterprise Research Centre Faculty of Science and Engineering Design and Manufacturing Technology University of Limerick Submitted to the University of Limerick for the degree of Master of Engineering 2015 1. Supervisor: Prof. Cathal Heavey Enterprise Research Centre University of Limerick Ireland ii Abstract This research is conducted as part of a project that has the overall aim to develop an open source discrete event simulation (DES) platform that is expandable, and modular aiming to support the use of DES at multi-levels of manufacturing com- panies. The current work focuses on DES data exchange within this platform. The goal of this thesis is to develop a DES exchange interface between three different modules: (i) ManPy an open source discrete event simulation engine developed in Python on the SimPy library; (ii) A Knowledge Extraction (KE) tool used to populate the ManPy simulation engine from shop-floor data stored within an Enterprise Requirements Planning (ERP) or a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to allow the potential for real-time simulation. The development of the tool is based on R scripting language, and different Python libraries; (iii) A Graphical User Interface (GUI) developed in JavaScript used to provide an interface in a similar manner to Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) DES tools. In the literature review the main standards that could be used are reviewed. Based on this review and the requirements above, the data exchange format standard JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) was selected. The proposed solution accom- plishes interoperability between different modules using an open source, expand- able, and easy to adopt and maintain, in an all inclusive JSON file. -
