Dear CeLebs,
Last few month, we spoke on how we are to work on our PLNs. TweetDeck is a great Twitter tool, but can be daunting to get started with. Here's a handy guide for you to refer to if you should ever have any doubt on how to use the tool.
Cheers.

Appcelerator Titanium Mobile Platforms: iPhone and Android What you need to get started: Software installed from the site Feature set: 4/5 | Difficulty: 5/5 | Reach: 5/5 To use Appcelerator Titanium Mobile, you need to be familiar with Web languages like Python, HTML and Javascript. That said, you will not need to know specific programming languages typically required to develop apps for the iPhone and Android. All you do is build the app using Web languages, and Titanium does the rest. You will need to download the iPhone SDK (which is Mac-only) if you plan to make iPhone apps. This development platform doesn't come with any tutorials - you will have to rely on the goodwill of the community and learn how to use the tools through knowledge posted on forums. There are also paid services that provide support and automation during the app-making process. If you know how to wield the tools correctly, Titanium can offer more features than App Inventor for Android. But there are limitations to being a third-party development platform - the latest features in iOS and Android OS are not guaranteed to work here. Verdict: If you are open to teaching yourself app development as a hobby, the versatile Appcelerator Titanium Mobile is a great way to start. The faint of heart need not apply.
App Inventor lets you create apps by dragging and dropping "building blocks" embedded with code that work when you drag them onto a blank canvas. These blocks let you access virtually every function of an Android handset - from timestamps and touchscreen virtual buttons to the motion sensor and GPS.

Above, you can see an image of my screen while reading a PDF titled The Internet of things: Networked objects and smart devices. I highlighted the name of a company quoted in the report and with two quick clicks I was watching a YouTube video of a product demo. I highlighted an expert's name and was able to learn all about their career and find them on Twitter - without leaving the page.
Scribd says it's working on a native iPad experience for its service, but that won't arrive until later this year or next year.
Higher Education Institutions around the world have reacted differently to the increasing demand for information and communication through mobile devices. The special issue wants to attract research and development papers about “mobile campus systems” that support learners and researcher in Higher Education Institutions in their daily practices.
That's an interesting thought! While the revised taxonomy + digital component are more for writing objectives, they might be suitable for evaluation.
The other issue to consider is that e-learning efforts will typically have a spread of objectives rather than just one or two. It will be difficult to pin point what they are.
