Gartner Outlines 10 Mobile Technologies to Watch in 2010 and 2011 - 0 views

  • Widgets are installable Web applications that use technologies such as JavaScript and HTML. Many handsets support widgets running on their home screens, where they are easily visible and accessible. Despite the lack of standards, widgets provide a convenient way to deliver simple, connected applications, especially those involving real-time data updates (such as weather forecasts, e-mail notifications, marketing, blogs and information feeds). Because widgets exploit well-understood tools and technologies, they have lower entry barriers than complex native applications, and thus can be a good first step to assess the demand for an application on a specific platform before undertaking expensive native development.
  • App stores will be the primary (and, in some cases, the only) way to distribute applications to smartphones and other mobile devices. App stores also provide a range of business support functions, such as payment processing, that assist smaller organizations. Gartner believes that app stores will play many roles in an organization's B2C and B2E strategies. They will be a distribution channel for mobile applications and a commercial channel to sell applications and content (especially in international markets), and they will provide new options for application sourcing. Many applications will exploit ecosystem cloud services.

LIU Brooklyn Campus Extends iPad Program -- Campus Technology - 0 views

  • Brooklyn Campus of Long Island University is expanding a program it implemented earlier this semester to provide its students with Apple iPads.
  • The institution's initial iPad pilot program began delivering free iPads to all full-time incoming freshmen and undergraduate transfer students this semester. Preparations for the program included a $100,000 investment in its wireless infrastructure, beefing up the number of access points at six locations in the process. About 3,500 students received iPads during the initial phase of the program.
  • Now the Brooklyn Campus is expanding that initial pilot to all of its students, though it will not be supplying the devices completely free. The university said it will provide iPads at a discount to full-time students who did not qualify for the initial pilot, charging sophomores, juniors, and seniors $250 for an iPad, underwriting the rest

Learning and Knowledge Analytics - 0 views

shared by Riley F. on 18 Mar 11 - No Cached
  • Learning analytics are an important lens through which to view and plan for change at individual learning paths and educational institutions’ courses. Furthermore, in corporate settings, learning analytics can play a role in highlighting the development of employees through their learning. Information flow and social interactions can yield novel insights into organizational effectiveness and capacity to address new challenges or adapt rapidly when unanticipated events arise.
  • Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs.
  • When integrated, learning and knowledge analytics form the foundation for adaptive and personal learning by providing learners with relevant learning choices to address gaps between existing knowledge and knowledge needed within a field or domain. Through the use of analytics, organizations also stand to gain new insights into how the work of individuals contributes to organizational capacity for change and innovation.
