"ELAN is a professional tool for the creation of complex annotations on video and audio resources. With ELAN a user can add an unlimited number of annotations to audio and/or video streams. An annotation can be a sentence, word or gloss, a comment, translation or a description of any feature observed in the media. Annotations can be created on multiple layers, called tiers. Tiers can be hierarchically interconnected. An annotation can either be time-aligned to the media or it can refer to other existing annotations. The textual content of annotations is always in Unicode and the transcription is stored in an XML format. ELAN provides several different views on the annotations, each view is connected and synchronized to the media playhead. Up to 4 video files can be associated with an annotation document. Each video can be integrated in the main document window or displayed in its own resizable window. ELAN delegates media playback to an existing media framework, like Windows Media Player, QuickTime or JMF (Java Media Framework). As a result a wide variety of audio and video formats is supported and high performance media playback can be achieved. ELAN is written in the Java programming language and the sources are available for non-commercial use. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Main other features navigate through the media with different step sizes easy navigation through existing annotations waveform visualization of .wav files support for template documents input methods for a variety of script systems multi-tier regular expression search, within a single document or in a selection of annotation documents support for user definable Controlled Vocabularies import and export of Shoebox/Toolbox, CHAT, Transcriber (import only), Praat and csv/tab-delimited text files export to interlinear text, html, smil and subtitles text printing of the annotations multiple undo/redo Download ELAN"

Il software serve ad annotare video e audio: sembra piuttosto complesso ma è prodotto e offerto dal progetto The Language Archive dell'Istituto Max Plank dei Paesi Bassi, perciò sembra abbastanza sicuro. Ho installato la versione per Mac: poi provo e riporto

"March 19, 2013, 1:00 pm By Prof. Hacker [This is a guest post by Lisa Rhody, who works for the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University as the project manager for WebWise 2013....] From early posts about scholarly uses of social media to more recent entries on its usefulness for improving student engagement, there seems to be a general consensus among ProfHacker writers that the use of social media promotes the widening of scholarly networks. Keeping in mind that online social networks extend beyond the obvious Twitter and Facebook-blogs, podcasts, wikis, and photo/video sharing sites are a few other forms of social media-the vexing question to answer has been how to quantify the scope or significance of one's participation in social media to a wider scholarly conversation."

La persona incaricata delle pubblicazioni istituzionali sui vari media (e dei relativi aggiornamenti) ha un grande carico di lavoro e grande responsabilità. In quest'articolo (in inglese) si trovano alcuni trucchi che fanno risparmiare tempo ed evitare errori e sovrapposizioni. Lo trovo molto pratico.

"TWITTER -- February 17, 2011 at 9:30 AM EDT NPR's Andy Carvin on Tracking and Tweeting Revolutions By: Hari Sreenivasan We caught up with NPR's Senior Strategist Andy Carvin between his 400+ tweets a day for a chat about his Twitter stream. It has become a must-follow wire service of sorts for people interested in the latest developments in Tunisia, Egypt and a growing number of countries across the Middle East, Persian Gulf and North Africa. We discussed how he began mapping out whom to trust in the "Twittersphere," and how he works to verify and share facts with NPR as the stories develop. His tweets are populated with the words "source" and "verified?" More often than not, as he re-tweets trends and waves of information across the streams he tracks as his sources verify or discount facts on the ground. Carvin uses a combination of old media (wire services, broadcast networks) and follows a series of bloggers and Twitter accounts. He verifies with sources he trusts before saying a piece of information is "confirmed." Andy has spoken about his open news-gathering processes during a live-chat with Poynter, a Q&A with the Atlantic, the Knight Digital Media Center and it has been blogged about at the New York Times."

"Below you will find 50+ web tools you can use to create your own web-based story. They are grouped into categories of tool types, but you can also access a complete list of all tools. Each link points to a full entry on the tool that includes a description, links and embedded versions of the original Dominoe story, links to other stories created in the tool, and some more feedback that can help you decided if the tool might be of interest. People who join this wiki can contribute to the content on these pages (learn more...). Again, your mission is not to review or try every single one (that would be madness, I know), but pick one that sounds interesting and see if you can produce something. But before rummaging around the toolbox, have you done your prep work? Do you have your story idea or presentation concept outlined, developed? This should be on paper or in a document file or scribbled on the back of a napkin, but do not rely on making it up as you go! If not, go back 2 spaces and do this now. Next- do you have your media assets available, your images, video clips, audio files-- if not go find your media now."

Per chi si fa rticorrere dalla tecnologia , o per chi è sempre di corsa dietro lla tecnologia

"This tutorial shows how easy it is to create captions/subtitles files in WebVTT, SRT and DFXP format for subtitling in videos and audios. Depending on the media player you use, you can even provide subtitles in different languages for the same media. Subtitle files are basically text files you can write in Notepad(Win) or SimpleText(Mac)."

Edmodo non è EdMondo. Si tratta di una piattaforma digitale per gruppi di educatori e di studenti. Purtroppo non esiste una versione in italiano, ma è popolarissima negli Stati Uniti e nei paesi di lingua spagnola. Disponibile anche in francese e tedesco.  Consiglio di iscriversi come "teacher" ma prima di tutto di esplorare qualche tutorial in YouTube.

@ Angela: credo che tu stia parlando di EdMondo, con la N. Che è un'altra cosa. @ Luisella: sì, sul cloud, da dove resta accessibile a tutti e ovunque, e da dove è improbabile che venga cancellato. Il server locale è più vulnerabile agli incidenti, secondo me. I servizi online invece possono "imballarsi" a causa del sovraffollamento, come abbiamo tutti sperimentato con i siti ministeriali, o con il sito dell'AIE, nel periodo delle adozioni dei testi scolastici.

@Lucia: Nel mio commento parlo di tutte e due . Confermo il tuo giudizio positivo sulla piattaforma Edmodo, ma aggiungo di star sperimentando anche EdMondo, per ribadire due nuove tecniche di insegnamento molto apprezzate delle nuove generazioni che meritano di essere sperimentate per capire come utilizzarle affiancandole alla didattica tradizionale.

Whether you're new to technology, just getting started with a social network, or looking for some useful tips then these courses are for you. They're part of a new idea that I've been working on with a few friends. We're calling it Modern Lessons and it's essentially a 'Khan Academy for real-world skills' where a small handful of people build free online courses designed to help you learn some important things.

"Julia Gillard non ha trattenuto la commozione durante il suo discorso al parlamento per la presentazione della nuova legislazione in sostegno dei disabili, la "DisabilityCare Australia"" Una didascalia melensa per una cagatina di 1:00 (preceduta da 0:15 di pubblicità) estratta un discorso interessantissimo di 14:58 - vedi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtCIbDiXmjU - e con un codice embed kilometrico?? Vabbé che dal codice embed si può ricavare l'URL del video - http://flv.kataweb.it/repubblicatv/file/2013/05/15/133892/133892-video-rrtv-gillarddisabili.mp4 - e che il video l'hanno sottotitolato. Però lo stesso: non augura bene per il futuro dei media tradizionali tipo La Repubblica.
