EMTY con- tinues to provide information to help media and technology professionals practice their craft in a changing, expanding field. This volume maintains the belief that technology represents tools that act as extensions of the educator. Further, the contention of the editors and contributors is thatvari- ous media serve as delivery systems for educational communications.The intent of this Yearbook is to inform readers about the purposes, activities, programs of study, and accomplishments of or- ganizations and associations dedicated to the advancement of educational communications and technology. Technology does not refer simply to machines and hardware but includes techniques and procedures derived from scientific research about ways to promote change in human performance, as a way of organizing thought, science, art, and human values.The evolution of educational media and advancements in information delivery technology are requiring educators to reconsider the traditional concept of audiovisual aids and to consider the concept of multimedia applications. This volume of the Yearbook reflects current thinking in the field. It includes essays from re- spected authors about technology trends in education and training, teaching methods and curricu- lar issues, electronic publishing and the state of the profession, and Internet resources. The Educational Media and Technology Yearbook is an active forum for scholarly exchange about processes for developing media and appropriate applications of instructional technology. The fundamental tenet is that educational media and technology should be used to 1. achieve authentic learning

  • List of TCP and UDP Port Numbers from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    List of TCP and UDP port numbers From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a list of Internet socket port numbers used by protocols of the transport layer of the Internet Protocol Suite for the establishment of host-to-host connectivity. Originally, port numbers were used by the Network Control Program (NCP) in the ARPANET for which two ports were required for half- duplex transmission. Later, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) needed only one port for full- duplex, bidirectional traffic. The even-numbered ports were not used, and this resulted in some even numbers in the well-known port number /etc/services, a service name range being unassigned. The Stream Control Transmission Protocol database file on Unix-like operating (SCTP) and the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) also systems.[1][2][3][4] use port numbers. They usually use port numbers that match the services of the corresponding TCP or UDP implementation, if they exist. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is responsible for maintaining the official assignments of port numbers for specific uses.[5] However, many unofficial uses of both well-known and registered port numbers occur in practice. Contents 1 Table legend 2 Well-known ports 3 Registered ports 4 Dynamic, private or ephemeral ports 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Table legend Official: Port is registered with IANA for the application.[5] Unofficial: Port is not registered with IANA for the application. Multiple use: Multiple applications are known to use this port. Well-known ports The port numbers in the range from 0 to 1023 are the well-known ports or system ports.[6] They are used by system processes that provide widely used types of network services.

  • Popielinski, M.A
    Noncorporeal Embodiment and Gendered Virtual Identity Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lea Marie Popielinski, M.A. Graduate Program in Women’s Studies The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Cathy A. Rakowski, Advisor Cynthia Selfe Mary Thomas Copyright by Lea Marie Popielinski 2012 Abstract This dissertation introduces the concept of noncorporeal embodiment as an analytical tool for understanding the experience of having a body in three-dimensional graphical virtual space, i.e., a representational avatar body. I propose that users of virtual worlds such as Second Life develop a sense of embodiment that is comparable but not identical to a sense of embodiment in the actual world. The dissertation explores three key areas—the development of a virtual identity, the practice of virtual sexuality, and the experience of virtual violence—to locate evidence that Second Life residents identify with their avatars in ways that reflect the concept as it is developed in the text. Methods include interviews with Second Life residents, a blog that presents questions for public response, and the use of resident-produced written materials (e.g., blogs, forum discussions, classifed ads), while theoretical perspectives are drawn from feminist theorists concerned with studies of the body in various respects. The dissertation concludes with a summation of the social patterns observed in the previous chapters and with a discussion of future directions for further research. ii Acknowledgments The completion of this dissertation was long in coming, and it would never have arrived without the guidance, support, and participation of a number of individuals who did not give up on me and would not let me give up on myself throughout the process.

  • Virtual World Primer
    A Virtual Worlds Primer Executive Summary This report provides an overview of virtual worlds – what they are, what they are used for and who uses them. Virtual worlds are simulated environments on the internet, accessed via a computer and sometimes mobile phone. They are persistent, shared experiences for tens of millions of people around the globe. There are three basic kinds of virtual world: games, social worlds and world building tools. While the technology for all three types is similar, each has a different range of uses and different user demographics. People of all ages around the world use virtual worlds. Some are targeted at specific age ranges, such as Club Penguin which is 6+ and Second Life which is 18+. However, World of Warcraft and other virtual worlds appeal to people from their mid-teens through to retirement. From their invention in 1978 at the University of Essex, virtual worlds have grown steadily in popularity. Globally, the number of users of virtual worlds is now in the hundreds of millions, with several individual virtual worlds reporting figures over the 10 million mark. And these users are spending between two and four hours in a virtual world every day, often sacrificing television viewing time to do so. Business models for virtual worlds include: subscription fees, micro-transactions, and advertising supported worlds - including fully branded spaces such as Virtual MTV (vMTV). Within game worlds, complex economies thrive on the redistribution of virtual resources by individual users. Social worlds in particular find the users embedding traditional business models into the virtual world by offering goods and services such as marketing and design of virtual objects for real currency.

  • The Magazine for Interactive Fiction Enthusiasts
    May/ June 1996 Issue #9 The Magazine for Interactive Fiction Enthusiasts This issue’s awfully late in coming out this time around, largely due to my already fully booked writing schedule. I’ve been so busy, I haven’t even had a chance to play any text adventure games in months! Needless to say, I’m out of touch with the newsgroups too. I’ve had to hear third-hand about Mike Roberts releasing TADS as freeware and what’s up in the r.a.i-f competition. The good news is that the book I’m working on is wrapping up even as we speak, and I hope to be both a diligent zine editor and a reliable source for game hints again sometime in the near future. I’m finding that each issue’s Top 10 picks for Web sites devoted to text adventure games are increasingly reflecting the impact of new technologies. For example, this issue’s list includes a wonderful site with a number of Java-enabled Inform games you can play online—if your browser supports Java, that is. There’s also a site devoted to the long-awaited developments in playing interactive fiction games on Apple’s PDA, the Newton. This issue also includes a thoughtful article by John Wood on play- er character identity in interactive fiction. It’s a response of sorts to Doug Atkinson’s article on gender and IF games back in issue #3, which I think has generated more response than any other article to date in the zine.
