web app audio plays in background mobile safari - 2 views

  •  
    I realized sound effects works well on my desktop browser but was disabled my mobile safari. Take note that audio tag has been crippled and disabled by apple on their iphone browsers, meaning they closed a big possibility of webapp development with Audio! We might have to look into other solution for Harmonia. This webapp demo shows some get around and music playing in the background when you do other things. This

SoundCloud - The Tour - Your Sound, In The Player - 0 views

    A polished site for recording, uploading and sharing audio files... it offers the ability to share audio files with social tagging on FB, Twitter and Tumblr, and also timed comments too. Seems to be getting more and more popular. Perhaps we can use its API for our Well Said app...

Free Technology for Teachers: wireWax - Create Interactive Videos and Play Videos Withi... - 1 views

  •  
    wireWax is a new service (still in beta) that takes the concept of YouTube annotations and makes it much better. On wireWax you can build interactive tags into your videos. Each tag that you add to your video have another video from YouTube or Vimeo or an image from Facebook, Flickr, or Instagram. A tag can also include an audio track from SoundCloud or a reference article from Qwiki. What makes using wireWax different from using the YouTube annotations tool is that clicking on your tags (what YouTube calls annotations) does not send you outside of the video you're currently watching. This means that you can watch a video within a video or view a picture or listen to a different audio track within the original video. When you click a tag in the original video the video pauses and the tagged item is displayed.

The future of distance learning is calling | Education | Guardian Weekly - 0 views

  • enhance their learning experience with the use of some simple and low-cost digital tools.
  • She says tutors began to create a more effective, time-saving combination of text and audio. "They found they could write quick little annotations on students' essays and then elaborate more in the audio feedback."
  • The research also revealed that students appeared more willing to listen to feedback via audio than to commit time to reading written comments.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • They also said that they put more effort into their audio submissions because they knew fellow students would be listening and they didn't want to appear stupid.

Tips for Using Chat as an Instructional Tool -- Campus Technology - 1 views

  •  
    This article was written 5 years ago. Now, we have the benefit of ubiqutious mobile chat platforms e.g. Whatsapp, which can create small focus groups to talk about a particular topic. Not only so, besides the usual text, Whatsapp also allows participants to share mobile videos taken on the spot, share their geolocations with one another, share audio recordings and of course, images. A personal example of how I use Whatsapp for personal learning: I use Whatsapp regularly to practice reading and writing my Japanese with a few other friends, and when I make mistakes, they can quickly give me feedback in real-time. We also exchange photos of Japanese culture, food items and even on-the-spot videos from those who are in Japan. Some of us go for Japanese classes, some don't. But those who go for the classes share what they have learnt with those who haven't.  I'm not sure if this can be classified as a type of "flipped learning", but I realized that mobile chat makes an excellent real-time, yet highly personalized tool for e-learning in small group discussions. Perhaps this is one area we can consider next time as a way to do mobile learning that harnesses the social nature of us learners.

Five Essential Skills for the Facebook Era - IEEE Spectrum - 0 views

  • “If print culture shaped the environment from which the Enlightenment blossomed and set the scene for the Industrial Revolution, participatory media might similarly forge the cognitive and social environments in which 21st-century life will take place.”
  • the “literacy of participation,” and I guess this consists of the social norms of social media. What are they, and why are they so important?
  •  
    Insightful audio interview. The interviewee mentions about the "literacy of participation" as a key factor in the upcoming shifts in our cognitive and social environments of the 21st century.

iTunes U still competitive in online education (Stanford Daily) - 1 views

  • discuss issues together through Piazza, but ran into privacy issues and had to create three separate forums
    • Rachel Tan
       
      Dr Ashley, I wonder what the privacy issues were. There is a fair amount of negative notes in this article that could work against our recommendation of iTunes U 
  •  
    In 2007, videotaped lectures from 10 courses were added to the Stanford iTunes site. The content on the site consisted solely of audio and video files until January 2012, when Apple launched the iTunes U app. This app allowed professors to upload additional materials such as homework assignments and class handouts, giving remote students more of a comprehensive course experience. While remote students can now participate in a course by completing homework assignments and even taking exams, they are still not able to ask questions in class, receive feedback on homework and exams or collaborate with classmates. Several iTunes U courses have attempted to bridge this gap through Piazza, an online forum that allows students from around the world to ask and answer questions and discuss the course. Remote students are able to register on Piazza to discuss the lectures and assignments with other students, although Hegarty says that iTunes U students often reach out to him for help instead. https://piazza.com/ The (Free) Efficient Way to Manage Class Q&A How is this better than email, newsgroups, and discussion forums? Students actually use Piazza, they love it. This difference stems from how we built Piazza. We've personally met with and spoken to thousands of students and instructors. The result is a beautifully intuitive and simple product that students love and use.

    Hi Ashley, would this article reference suffice as 'research reference' per our meeting with Director? Thanks for your input on the Emailer. I'm working on it now.

"Books submitted to the iBookstore using a Paid Books Account can be protected by Apple's proprietary FairPlay DRM (digital rights management) system, which helps prevent unauthorized duplication of your book. (Movies and audio included in HTML5 widgets are not DRM-protected.)"

XMind - Mind Mapping and Storming - 2 views

    Do you know if this works with Google Drive (and hopefully Google Sites)?
  • ...6 more comments...
  •  
    Xmind is using google code, will get Yeu Ann to check out the source code. http://code.google.com/p/xmind3/
  •  
    I've checked it out. Actually, it's not Google code, but simply an open-source native app stored in Google Projects, an open-source code repository. Nevertheless, it's a good mind-mapping software. Only thing is that it doesn't use Google Drive and I'm not sure if it can be integrated easily into Google Sites (due to Google Sites having issues with iframe elements).
  •  
    seems quite a good review for Mindomo, it's integrated to Google apps. http://www.mindomo.com/.
  •  
    I tried, cool! The map mind can be embedded in google site. Interface of mind map is easy to use, allow embed youtube link, images, and audio, attachment and links. Free for 3 mindmap and allow collaboration, invite is similar to Google for edit/read rights. There is also have icon, chat, comments and collaborative editing. Yeu Ann, we can include that as guide in student portfolio.
  •  
    Yeu Ann, I am referring to Mindomo :)
  •  
    Great! I'll try out the free account for the Mindomo next week. So I take it that you guys want to use this as the recommended mind-map app for our students?
