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. -

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. -

LUCRE stands for Local and User-Created Services. The project is part of the Flexible Services research programme, one of the programmes of the Strategic Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation in the ICT field (TIVIT) and funded by Tekes (the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation) and the participating organizations. The Flexible Service Programme creates service business activity for global markets. The programme has the aim of creating a Web of Services. The programme creates new types of ecosystems, in which the producers of services, the people that convey the service and the users all work together in unison. As part of such ecosystems, LUCRE will develop an easy-to-use, visual service creation platform to support the creation of context aware mobile services. The goal is to support user-driven open innovation: the end- users (people, local businesses, communities) will be provided with tools to compose new services or to modify existing ones. The service creation platform will build on the technology of existing mashup tools, widget frameworks, and publish/subscribe mechanisms. -

Web 2.0 Et Bibliothèques
Web 2.0 et bibliothèques LOUKEM Mohamed El Hadi1 - ALIOUALI Nadia2 Division Recherche & Développement en Science de l’Information CERIST, 5, rue des trois frères Aissou, Ben-Aknoun, Alger, Algérie [email protected] , 2 [email protected] Résumé : Le monde de l’information connaît un contexte de transformations intenses. La dématérialisation de l’information et l’accès via internet participent à rendre les bibliothèques de moins en moins visibles et incitent l’usager à se détourner des médiateurs traditionnels d’informations. Le web 2.0 est un nouveau genre collaboratif en ligne. Nombreuses sont les bibliothèques qui expérimentent aujourd’hui son lot d’usages informationnels. L’objectif est d’améliorer leurs moyens de communication afin de se positionner comme un membre actif des communautés développées et œuvrer pour l’échange et le partage d’information. Le succès du web 2.0 nécessite une analyse afin de tenter de définir un concept fortement employé depuis quelques années mais, il est très difficile de déterminer les frontières tant théoriques que techniques. Nous proposons dans cet article une synthèse sur ce phénomène, ses usages et son impact sur les bibliothèques. Mots : clés : web social; web 2.0; outils du web social; usages; bibliothèque. Introduction L’émergence du web 2.0 est apparue comme un nouveau bouleversement majeur. Symbolisé par quelques applications phares, comme Youtube, Wikipedia, MySpace ou encore les blogs, le web 2.0 regroupe en réalité un ensemble de pratiques considérées comme nouvelles. Toutes sont basées sur le retour de l’usager au cœur des dynamiques de production et d’échange de contenu. -
