The Current State Of Social Networks | Edudemic - 0 views

  •  
    Everyone's a cynic. Pundits seem to expect Google+ to be instantly as popular as Facebook or Twitter for some reason. Personally, I think it'll just take time and am hopeful about G+. I like it. I have seen extremely high quality content from members of the Edudemic Circle (join in here).

Socialtext Open Developer Community : bliki - 0 views

  •  
    A bliki is a cross between a blog and a wiki. It may be a much more suitable conceptual idea for an e-portfolio, especially the collaborative type for educational environments.

IASC: The Hedgehog Review - Volume 14, No. 1 (Spring 2012) - Why Google Isn't... - 0 views

  •  
    A very interesting journal essay that points out how info overload is not a new problem, but one that has existed ever since the first books. The writer examines how people in the previous centuries used the then-new technology of printing to help them handle the "plague of books" that was overwhelming their libraries. He then reminds us, that at the core of it all, it is not the technology itself that enables and empowers learning, but an ecology of human-tech interaction that helps us learn more effectively in today's Toffler-esque world. A fascinating read indeed. A more readable PDF version: http://www.iasc-culture.org/THR/archives/Spring2012/Wellmon_lo.pdf

Know Your Gmail Stats using Gmail Meter | Official Gmail Blog - 0 views

  • Gmail Meter is an Apps Script which runs on the first day of every month and sends you an email containing different statistics about your Inbox. In a similar way to how recently introduced Google Account Activity gives key stats about how you’ve used your Google Account, Gmail Meter gives you different types of statistics that will help you analyze your Gmail habits.

    Am using this to automatically generate statistics for NIeFolio Helpdesk email, which can be used to show helpdesk efficiency statistics.

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.

Skeuomorphism & Storytelling / Tobias Bjerrome Ahlin - 0 views

  • Designers love to hate skeuomorphism. It’s just decoration, they say. It’s completely useless. It will go out of style. Or as Mark Boulton, co-founder of Five Simple Steps, put it on twitter: I really wish everyone would stop making digital things look like real things. A screen is not a drop shadowed, bevelled, wooden plank. Yet Apple and many other software developers continue to use it heavily in some of their apps. Many hate without asking: Why? Why is Apple and so many others continuing down this path? They have all lost their sense of good design, surely. No?
  • Skeuomorphism is about communcating and reinforcing feelings – getting an application to become a memorable experience, not just a tool. It’s about communicating the purpose of a UI, not only the functions it enables.
  • An interface that is not only easy to use, but fun to use, engages the user and creates an experience where obstacles are easier to overcome, and thus an experience where the product is easier and more effortless to use. Done right, skeuomorphism can retain the simplicity and ease of use of an interface while empowering users to act.

Portfolio Apps - mPortfolios - 0 views

  •  
    Seems like there is a dearth of mPortfolios that use open platforms and are not locked into proprietary systems. However, one interesting potential feature that I saw on the page was the idea of voice-to-text for uploading into e-Portfolios.  Am currently working on a mobile app that integrates with Google Sites. Shall explore the voice-to-text idea where possible

    Interesting concept... Strikes me that this is very similar to our e-Portfolio concept, except that it's a "music-folio" for aspiring band-artists.
