Who Really Owns Your Personal Data? - 0 views

  •  
    An article about a trend today to use apps that track and record behavior and wearable fitness devices, and who owns the data those devices store in the cloud.

Disruptions: Your Brain on E-Books and Smartphone Apps - 0 views

  •  
    The author talks about how using electronic devices can alter our accustomed behaviors, such as mistakenly swiping a finger when reading a printed newspaper expecting it to turn the page the same as if it were on a tablet.

Ultimately I disagree with this as it's only becoming habituated to an interface, and not something intrinsic with the medium itself.

Once training finishes, participants return to work and immediately are pulled in a dozen different directions. In fact, research suggests that all these distractions are the reason why less than 10 percent of what is taught in the classroom translates into real behavior change back at work.

  • The screen captures are fascinating — watch below as an off-campus user searches the library home page for the correct place to do an author search in the library catalog
  • Be prepared; watching a series of videos of unassisted users can dismantle your or your web committee’s cherished notions about how users navigate your site.
  • Paid accounts also have access to real time analytics, so libraries would be able to get a montage of what’s happening in the lobby as it is happening. Imagine being able to walk out and announce a “pop-up library workshop” on using the library catalog effectively after seeing the twentieth person fumble through the OPAC.

    Describes the use of analytics tools such as Inspectlet, ClickTale, userfly, and more; it includes a nice little comparison table of features. Particularly cool are the real time screenshots and heatmaps depicting page use.
