  • Why Develop for Android?Android is an open-source platform based on the Linux kernel, and is installed on thousands of devices from a wide range of manufacturers. Android exposes your application to all sorts of hardware that you’ll find in modern mobile devices — digital compasses, video cameras, GPS, orientation sensors, and more.
  • Android is an open-source platform based on the Linux kernel, and is installed on thousands of devices from a wide range of manufacturers.
  • Android’s free development tools make it possible for you to start writing software at little or no cost.

  • Publishing to Android Market incurs a one-off registration fee (US $25 at the time of writing) and, unlike Apple’s App Store which famously reviews each submission, makes your application available for customers to download and buy after a quick review process
  • Here are a few other advantages Android offers you as a developer:The Android SDK is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, so you don’t need to pay for new hardware to start writing applications.An SDK built on Java. If you’re familiar with the Java programming language, you’re already halfway there.By distributing your application on Android Market, it’s available to hundreds of thousands of users instantly. You’re not just limited to one store, because there are alternatives, too. For instance, you can release your application on your own blog. Amazon have recently been rumoured to be preparing their own Android app store also.As well as the technical SDK documentation, new resources are being published for Android developers as the platform gains popularity among both users and developers.

    Good tips here. You do not have a specific self-appraisal component but the overall process allows a fair bit of reflection. Take the opportunity to take a big step forward!

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

shared by yeuann on 25 Apr 12 - No Cached

    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.

  • The Google Data APIs Objective-C Client Library provides an iPhone static library, a Mac OS X framework, and source code that make it easy to access data through Google Data APIs. To get started with Google data APIs and the Objective-C Client Library, look at the overview slides, read the introduction and study the example applications.

    This is why i said ios5 is FIRST TRUE WEB APP READY PLATFORM!!! It quite a technical article but you want the pie of the story... Finally. Apple has been holding back its support for HTML5,even with Nitro engine on ios4.2 and making it very hard to develop HTML5 "MOBILE" webapp. IOS5 is able to support html5 libraries(most) and degrade gracefully to choose the best performance for the application. DollarDash runs so smoothly over mobile devices now and save me the hassle of writing illegal hacks for mobile devices. Pftt! Keeping up with technology definitely pays off!

Why I Let My UCLA Students Cheat On Their Exam - 0 views

learning cheating

shared by yeuann on 13 May 13 - No Cached
  • So last quarter I had an intriguing thought while preparing my Game Theory lectures. Tests are really just measures of how the Education Game is proceeding. Professors test to measure their success at teaching, and students take tests in order to get a good grade. Might these goals be maximized simultaneously? What if I let the students write their own rules for the test-taking game? Allow them to do everything we would normally call cheating? 
  • Is the take-home message, then, that cheating is good? Well … no. Although by conventional test-taking rules, the students were cheating, they actually weren’t in this case. Instead, they were changing their goal in the Education Game from “Get a higher grade than my classmates” to “Get to the best answer.” This also required them to make new rules for test-taking.

      Usually an experiment is run for the purpose of confirming/dis-confirming a hypothesis. In this case, what is the hypothesis?
  • The @Sweden program, known as Curators of Sweden, came about when the Swedish Institute and Visit Sweden, the government tourist agency, sought to develop a plan to present the country to the world on Twitter. They hired an advertising company, Volontaire.

  • Wired: You’re interested in massive open online courses and have championed Salman Khan’s videos. If these had been around when you were young, would it have affected your schooling? Gates: No. For a highly motivated learner, it’s not like knowledge is secret and somehow the Internet made it not secret. It just made knowledge easy to find. If you’re a motivated enough learner, books are pretty good. Now, if you’re the kind of person who gets stuck on Chapter 5 and will give up if you don’t have someone to answer questions, don’t try and pick up the Feynman lectures on physics. That’s true whether it’s online or offline. A MOOC is an attempt to gather a group and encourage students, almost like a typical classroom, forcing you to interact during the lecture so that it kind of wakes you up and keeps you engaged. A hyperlearner doesn’t have to have those things.

  • Be Proactive
  • Listen
  • .  People are now, more than ever, voicing their opinions online to thousands of people through social media channels like Twitter – and they expect companies to respond.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • What happens if the company ignores it, is ignorant to the noise or is choosing not to engage in social media?  That pile of complaints only grows bigger.  As social media continues to grow, this is a trend that will only continue to grow.  If a business wants to make social media a part of their marketing and outreach efforts, then it’s necessary to stop talking once in a while and start listening.
  • Participate
  • It’s better to be involved so that a business can provide solutions and answers to issues that arise as opposed to being absent and letting the negative posts run their course.  If a company makes a concerted effort to rectify issues in social media, then others will see that effort and reward the company with their attention, understanding and likely their loyalty.
  • Respond
  • A part of participation as mentioned above.  You must respond in all instances.  While it used to be easy for a company to ignore letter writing campaigns and angry words through snail mail, that’s something that can’t be done anymore.  A company cannot ignore damaging accusations, especially through online interactions.
  • Responding doesn’t have to mean immediately giving in to people who are complaining or making demands of you.
