    05_096970 ch01.qxp 4/20/07 11:27 PM Page 3 1 Introducing Cascading Style Sheets Cascading style sheets is a language intended to simplify website design and development. Put simply, CSS handles the look and feel of a web page. With CSS, you can control the color of text, the style of fonts, the spacing between paragraphs, how columns are sized and laid out, what back- ground images or colors are used, as well as a variety of other visual effects. CSS was created in language that is easy to learn and understand, but it provides powerful control over the presentation of a document. Most commonly, CSS is combined with the markup languages HTML or XHTML. These markup languages contain the actual text you see in a web page — the hyperlinks, paragraphs, headings, lists, and tables — and are the glue of a web docu- ment. They contain the web page’s data, as well as the CSS document that contains information about what the web page should look like, and JavaScript, which is another language that pro- vides dynamic and interactive functionality. HTML and XHTML are very similar languages. In fact, for the majority of documents today, they are pretty much identical, although XHTML has some strict requirements about the type of syntax used. I discuss the differences between these two languages in detail in Chapter 2, and I also pro- vide a few simple examples of what each language looks like and how CSS comes together with the language to create a web page. In this chapter, however, I discuss the following: ❑ The W3C, an organization that plans and makes recommendations for how the web should functionCOPYRIGHTED and evolve MATERIAL ❑ How Internet documents work, where they come from, and how the browser displays them ❑ An abridged history of the Internet ❑ Why CSS was a desperately needed solution ❑ The advantages of using CSS 05_096970 ch01.qxp 4/20/07 11:27 PM Page 4 Part I: The Basics The next section takes a look at the independent organization that makes recommendations about how CSS, as well as a variety of other web-specific languages, should be used and implemented.

  • A Comparison of Video Formats for Online Teaching Ross A
    Contemporary Issues in Education Research – First Quarter 2017 Volume 10, Number 1 A Comparison Of Video Formats For Online Teaching Ross A. Malaga, Montclair State University, USA Nicole B. Koppel, Montclair State University, USA ABSTRACT The use of video to deliver content to students online has become increasingly popular. However, educators are often plagued with the question of which format to use to deliver asynchronous video material. Whether it is a College or University committing to a common video format or an individual instructor selecting the method that works best for his or her course, this research presents a comparison of various video formats that can be applied to online education and provides guidance in which one to select. Keywords: Online Teaching; Video Formats; Technology Acceptance Model INTRODUCTION istance learning is one of the most talked-about topics in higher education today. Online and hybrid (or blended) learning removes location and time-bound constraints of the traditional college classroom to a learning environment that can occur anytime or anywhere in a global environment. DAccording to research by the Online Learning Consortium, over 5 million students took an online course in the Fall 2014 semester. This represents an increase in online enrollment of over 3.9% in just one year. In 2014, 28% of higher education students took one or more courses online (Allen, I. E. and Seaman, J, 2016). With this incredible growth, albeit slower than the growth in previous years, institutions of higher education are continuing to increase their online course and program offerings. As such, institutions need to find easy to develop, easy to use, reliable, and reasonably priced technologies to deliver online content.

  • EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Skype and Podcasting: Disruptive Technologies for Language Learning
    Language Learning & Technology September 2005, Volume 9, Number 3 http://llt.msu.edu/vol9num3/emerging/ pp. 9-12 EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Skype and Podcasting: Disruptive Technologies for Language Learning Robert Godwin-Jones Virginia Comonwealth University New technologies, or new uses of existing technologies, continue to provide unique opportunities for language learning. This is in particular the case for several new network options for oral language practice. Both Skype and podcasting can be considered "disruptive technologies" in that they allow for new and different ways of doing familiar tasks, and in the process, may threaten traditional industries. Skype, the "people's telephone," is a free, Internet-based alternative to commercial phone service, while podcasting, the "radio for the people," provides a "narrowcasting" version of broadcast media. Both have sparked intense interest and have large numbers of users, although it is too soon to toll the bell for telephone companies and the radio industry. Skype and podcasting have had a political aspect to their embrace by early adopters -- a way of democratizing institutions -- but as they reach the mainstream, that is likely to become less important than the low cost and convenience the technologies offer. Both technologies offer intriguing opportunities for language professionals and learners, as they provide additional channels for oral communication. Skype and Internet Telephony Skype is a software product which provides telephone service through VoIP (Voice over IP), allowing your personal computer to act like a telephone. A microphone attached to the computer is necessary and headphones are desirable (to prevent echoes of the voice of your conversation partner). It is not the only such tool, nor the first, but because it provides good quality (through highly efficient compression) and is free, it has become widely used.

    Keep AC3 5.1 Audio Track of DRM‐ed iTunes Videos TunesKit for Mac For Windows Buy Resource Tutorial Support Retain AC3 5.1 Audio Track When Removing DRM from iTunes Movies Posted by Nick Orin on July 25, 2014 05:20:10 PM. Q: I like to rent movies and TV shows from iTunes cause most of them are provided with built‐in AC3 5.1 surround audio which makes watching a great experience. And I would much prefer to watch the films in my HD TV than in PCs due to the incredible visual and sound effects. I'm wondering if there is any way to get the DRM‐protected iTunes rentals converted while keeping the 5.1 audio track so that I can freely enjoy them in my home cinema whenever I like? Convert iTunes DRM‐ed Videos with 5.1 Audio Track Preserved When we rent or purchase movies from iTunes Store, we usually like to choose those with Dolby 5.1 tracks ﴾also known as AC3 audio﴿ for more amazing sound effects. Watching those iTunes movies with AC3 5.1 surround sound makes us feel like we are in cinema. But as we know, iTunes movies and TV shows with 5.1 audio, no matter rented or purchased, are all locked by FairPlay DRM, due to which we can't directly copy them into media playing devices other than Apple's for watching. Although we can use some iTunes DRM video converter tools to get rid of the FairPlay restriction from the movies, it always ends up with losing original 5.1 audio tracks in the output unprotected video files.
