RUDOLF KAJAN SUPERVISOR BRNO 2011 Abstrakt Řešil jsem nový přístup vytváření prezentací, přibližovací užívatelské rozhraní a spouštění prezentace jako video. Vytvoøil jsem rozhraní jako dvourozměrnou plochu. Prezentace se vytváří formou rozmísťování objektù na plo¹e a spájaní cestou. Podaøilo se mi vytvoøit aplikaci poskytujíci popisované vlastnosti a implementující daný problém. Zdokumentoval jsem použité přístupy v řešení. Abstract I have solved a new way of creating presentations, the zooming user interface and running presentations like video. I have created an interface as two-dimensional surface. Presentation is created the way that objects are placed on the surface and connected with path. I have succeeded in creating an application with described properties and solving given problem. I have documented approaches that I have used in solution. Klíčová slova Vytváření prezentace, video prezentace, silverlight, přiblížovací užívatelské rozhraní, bohatá internetová aplikace.

Dôležitá je cesta, ktorá vedie k vytvoreniu produktu. Cesta prechádza jednotlivými oblas»ami (míľnikmi) potrebnými pre rie¹enie daného pro- blému a teraz ich tu uvediem. V kapitole2 Motivácia práce naèrtávam smer snaženia. Èo budem rie¹i» a akým spôso- bom. Vymedzím jednotlivé etapy rie¹enia a poviem èo od ktorej oèakávam. V kapitole3 Aktuálne možnosti vykonám analýzu vybraných softvérových produktov, ktoré sú momentálne dostupné online. Zameriam sa na ich grafické užívateľské rozhrania. Aké typy rozložení prvkov a aké ovládacie prvky ponúkajú. Popíšem viditeľné schopnosti týchto nástrojov, plynúce z experimentovania s nimi. Zameriam sa na použité typy techno- lógií u jednotlivých nástrojov. V kapitole4 Technológie vykonám dôkladnej¹iu analýzu dostupných moderných techno- lógií, ktoré umožňujú vytvára» vybrané aplikácie z predo¹lej kapitoly. Pôjde o technológie pre vytváranie bohatých internetových aplikácií. Zaujímať ma bude èo daná technológia ponúka a umožňuje. Aké sú s danou technológiou spojené výhody a nevýhody. Na aký úèel je ktorá viacej èi menej vhodnej¹ia. V kapitole5 Návrh rie¹enia naèrtnem môj navrhnutý postup rie¹enia zadania. Návrh sa bude odvíjať z vedomostí nadobudnutých pri práci na predošlích kapitolách. Definujem èo má rie¹enie robi» a ako to má robi». Ake grafické užívateľské rozhranie rie¹enie implementuje. Ïal¹ie moje oèakávania. V kapitole6 Postup rie¹enia detailne popíšem môj priebeh vytváranie softvérového produktu. Zaznamenám èo som robil a ako som to robil. Akú technológiu som zvolil. Ako som implementoval grafické užívateľské rozhranie. Aké schopnosti som produktu vytvoril a princíp (podstatu) ako sú dané schopnosti implementované. Popíšem ako sa aplikácia spú¹»a a ako pracuje, èo vyžaduje, aké sú obmedzenia. Demon¹trujem funkènos» vytvorením ukážkovej prezentácie ktorá bude dostupná na CD prílohe. Vytvorím plagát popisujúci èinnos», ktorý bude umiestnený v prílohách na konci dokumentu a tiež na CD prílohe. V kapitole7 Záver zhodnotím dosiahnuté výsledky. Poukážem na zistené nedostatky aktuálneho stavu. Navrhnem smer ďalšieho možného pokraèovania. Uvediem môj prínos práce a k akému zisteniu som dospel. V prílohách poskytnem doplnkové materiály ako aj obsah CD nosièa a vytvorený plagát. 4 Kapitola 2 Motivácia Cieľom práce je vytvori» aplikáciu, WWW službu, ktorá poskytne schopnosti pre vytváranie prezentácií. Táto služba poskytne užívateľské rozhranie dostupné cez protokol HTTP [6]. Služba ponúkne klasickú aplikáciu, možnosťami porovnatelnú s aplikáciam v prostredí pra- covnej plochy, bez nutnos»i in¹talácie na užívateľov lokálny systém. V takomto prípade užívateľové dáta sú spravované na vzdialenom systéme. Výsledok je hneď dostupný cez WWW, èo umožňuje výhody ako zdieľanie, s»ahovanie a ďalšie. Aplikácia bude disponova» funkciami požadovanými od programu pre vytváranie pre- zentácií ako upravovanie, vkladanie objektov (text, obrázky,. ), spú¹»anie prezentácie a navigácia. Užívateľ vloží svoje dáta a spracuje ich na požadovaný tvar. Výsledok je uložený na vzdialenom systéme. Vývoj v spôsobe prezentovania priná¹a nové trendy ako: približovacie užívateľské roz- hranie [8] (ZUI 1), importovanie mediálneho obsahu, metóda drag and drop\ 2, zdiaľanie " a súèasné interaktívne upravovanie viacerími zainteresovaními užívateľmi. RIA 3 aplikácie poskytujú schopnosti pre spoluprácu užívateľa, vrátane plynulej navigá- cie, vlastnosti grafického užívateľského rozhrania známe u aplikácií v prostredí pracovnej plochy a integráciu dát. Začleňujú a združujú lokálne a vzdialené zdroje dát a biznis lo- giku. Jedna z najdôležitejších vlastností je že umožňujú oddeli» prezentaènú a aplikaènú logiku èo umožňuje vývojárom zmeni» logiku na strane

  • Conceptual and Technical Foundations for Next Generation Presentation Solutions
    Vrije Universiteit Brussel Faculty of Sciences and Bioengineering Sciences Department of Computer Science MindXpres Conceptual and Technical Foundations for Next Generation Presentation Solutions PhD Candidate: Promoter: Reinout Roels Prof. Dr. Beat Signer Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Sciences Members of the Jury Prof. Dr. Olga De Troyer Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Chair) Prof. Dr. Johan Loeckx Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Secretary) Prof. Dr. Beat Signer Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Promoter) Prof. Dr. Jo Tondeur Vrije Universiteit Brussel Prof. Dr. Kris Luyten Universiteit Hasselt Prof. Dr. Katrien Verbert KU Leuven May 2019 Abstract Presentation software such as PowerPoint, also known as slideware, has become a de facto standard as support for oral presentations. However, these tools were initially created as simulators for physical slides and have adopted many of their characteris- tics, including their limitations. These limitations include a strictly linear navigation of presentations, relatively static content and a tedious and time-consuming author- ing process. Presentation software was introduced over 30 years ago but these tools have changed very little since their inception. This is especially remarkable given the other technological advances that were made in the same timespan. Even though slideware may not be the optimal medium for all scenarios, the fact remains that it is used everywhere. Therefore, addressing existing shortcomings and unmet user needs can have a major impact. In this dissertation we start by investigating the existing shortcomings of presentation tools. By means of a literature study, observations, a survey and the programmatic analysis of more than 12 000 PowerPoint documents, we derive user needs and pinpoint issues that should be addressed.

  • OSINT Handbook September 2020
    OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 Aleksandra Bielska Noa Rebecca Kurz, Yves Baumgartner, Vytenis Benetis 2 Foreword I am delighted to share with you the 2020 edition of the OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook. Once again, the Handbook has been revised and updated to reflect the evolution of this discipline, and the many strategic, operational and technical challenges OSINT practitioners have to grapple with. Given the speed of change on the web, some might question the wisdom of pulling together such a resource. What’s wrong with the Top 10 tools, or the Top 100? There are only so many resources one can bookmark after all. Such arguments are not without merit. My fear, however, is that they are also shortsighted. I offer four reasons why. To begin, a shortlist betrays the widening spectrum of OSINT practice. Whereas OSINT was once the preserve of analysts working in national security, it now embraces a growing class of professionals in fields as diverse as journalism, cybersecurity, investment research, crisis management and human rights. A limited toolkit can never satisfy all of these constituencies. Second, a good OSINT practitioner is someone who is comfortable working with different tools, sources and collection strategies. The temptation toward narrow specialisation in OSINT is one that has to be resisted. Why? Because no research task is ever as tidy as the customer’s requirements are likely to suggest. Third, is the inevitable realisation that good tool awareness is equivalent to good source awareness. Indeed, the right tool can determine whether you harvest the right information.

Introduction Content marketing is not easy, it takes a lot of elbow grease to create valuable content and even more to promote it! The promotion part is something that many companies tend to miss when looking at a content marketing strategy. A general rule of thumb is you should spend 30% of your time creating content and 70% promoting it. That’s why I created this checklist you can use to promote the content you work so hard to create. I’m writing this checklist for two purposes. Firstly, because I am interested in content promotion for my own company Process Street. Content marketing is something I’ve been experimenting with and seeing some great results with so far, writing this post is forcing me to research and learn more about content distribution. Secondly, because I want to make a template for this in Process Street so I can begin hand it off to my team. I am working towards a streamlined content marketing machine.

  • An Investigation Into the Impact of Visual Aids in Post-Compulsory Education (Are Text-Based Slides the Optimum?)
    An investigation into the impact of visual aids in post-compulsory education (Are text-based slides the optimum?) Submitted by Nick Louis Napper to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education in April 2014 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. 1 2 Abstract This study seeks insight into the use of visual aids in contemporary post-compulsory teaching. The importance of the study is linked to the large number of students who enter Higher Education; many of whom regularly receive lectures supported by visual displays which comprise textual summaries of a lecturer’s speech. This thesis comprises a two-part study and employs a mixed methods approach. The first part inquires into teachers’ and lecturers’ practice with regard to their visual aids, and the second compares the effectiveness of text, images and imagery displayed in support of a lecture. The investigation into lecturers’ practice found many post-compulsory teachers and lecturers had received no training in the design and use of visual aids during their initial teacher training. It is suggested this privation may underpin a de facto choice of projected text as a visual aid, the use of which is not clearly supported by contemporary models of memory and mental processing.

Microsoft PowerPoint is het populairste en meest bekende programma in dit gebied. Spijtig genoeg heeft deze software weinig evolu- tie gekend sinds ze het licht zag in de jaren 1980, ondanks een ongeloof- lijke stortvloed aan vernieuwingen in bijna elk ander aspect van informatie- en communicatietechnologie. Het basisconcept van digitale presentaties is steeds hetzelfde gebleven, gebaseerd op de oorspronkelijke fysieke overhead- en diaprojecties. De beperkingen in grootte zorgen vaak voor een minder dan ideale weergave van informatie, waardoor het moeilijk wordt voor de presentator om alles goed te kunnen uitleggen, alsook voor het publiek om alles te begrijpen. Presentatoren ondervinden vaak, tot zelfs gewoonlijk, problemen met het schikken van hun inhoud binnen dit formaat op een manier die duidelijk, overzichtelijk en esthetisch verantwoord is. Het grootste deel van de tijd nodig om een presentatie te maken wordt verspild aan het zoeken van een goede layout voor de voorziene informatie, vaak dan nog met weinig positief resultaat.
