    Gary Flake demos Pivot, a new way to browse and arrange massive amounts of images and data online. Built on breakthrough Seadragon technology, it enables spectacular zooms in and out of web databases, and the discovery of patterns and links invisible in standard web browsing.

    "Augmented reality will allow Frijj customers to interact with the brand by holding up a bottle in front of a webcam to gain access to a real- time environment. A Frijj Swamp Soccerette then appears to climb out of the bottle and perform an on-screen cheer." An interesting take on commercial use of AR.

    For years we have navigated our way through unfamiliar locations by looking at guidebooks and matching their contents to what we see around us. What if we could look at both at once? This is the promise of augmented reality (AR), which uses computers and mobile phones to overlay additional information and images on what is visible to the naked eye.

    Data that is innocuous or is it? Excellent article from the New York Times on Privacy. "In a class project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that received some attention last year, Carter Jernigan and Behram Mistree analyzed more than 4,000 Facebook profiles of students, including links to friends who said they were gay. The pair was able to predict, with 78 percent accuracy, whether a profile belonged to a gay male. So far, this type of powerful data mining, which relies on sophisticated statistical correlations, is mostly in the realm of university researchers, not identity thieves and marketers. But the F.T.C. is worried that rules to protect privacy have not kept up with technology. The agency is convening on Wednesday the third of three workshops on the issue. "

      This webiste is dedicated to helping students find open course materials.
  • Anyone, anywhere, with an Internet connection — from Bill Gates down — can log on and download these materials without cost.

      Miller S. on 30 Mar 10
       
      Being able to download materials with no costs is the most appealing factor for students. In theory, a student can obtain a degree from a prestigious college by getting their materials online. This also gets rid of the cost of purchasing books.
  • A computer in Logan, Utah, holds syllabus details, lecture notes, problem sets and exams from more than 80 Utah State University courses

  • iTunes U, youtube.com/edu and their own sites, like Open Yale Courses.
    • Miller S.
      Miller S. on 30 Mar 10
       
      These are sites that help universities spread their open content ideas.
  • The OpenCourseWare Consortium, which grew out of the M.I.T. project, now includes over 200 institutions worldwide and offers materials from more than 13,000 courses. OpenCourseWare makes it possible to profit from some of the content that comes with $50,000 annual tuition at an Ivy League school, without paying that hefty price tag.
  • The idea driving the movement is that information should be freely shared.
  • someone must pay for these materials, and with the recession squeezing university budgets, open course programs are vulnerable.
  • For an annual cost of $125,000, or a mere 0.05 percent of the university’s $226 million budget, Utah State’s four-year-old OpenCourseWare program attracted 550,000 page views last year, making it one of the most popular in the United States, according to Marion Jensen, its former director.
  • The OpenCourseWare content is now being hosted on the DigitalCommons@USU Web site
  • how can professors and universities afford to give away the course materials that are their very livelihood?
  • The answer, says James D. Yager, senior associate dean for academic affairs at the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University, lies in why students pay to attend university in the first place. What OpenCourseWare offers, he notes, is not the full university experience: “We don’t offer the course for free, we offer the content for free,” Mr. Yager said by telephone in February. “Students take courses because they want interaction with faculty, they want interaction with one another. Those things are not available on O.C.W.
  • “O.C.W. is just the publishing of the content

visual data analysis

shared by Tanner B on 30 Mar 10 - Cached
  • Visual data analysis blends highly advanced computational methods with sophisticated graphics engines to tap the extraordinary ability of humans to see patterns and structure in even the most complex visual presentations.
  • Data collection and compilation is no longer the tedious, manual process it once was, and tools to analyze, interpret, and display data are increasingly sophisticated, and their use routine in many disciplines.
  • In advanced research settings, scientists and others studying massively complex systems generate mountains of data, and have developed a wide variety of new tools and techniques to allow those data to be interpreted holistically, and to expose meaningful patterns and structure, trends and exceptions, and more.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Researchers that work with data sets from experiments or simulations, such as computational fluid dynamics, astrophysics, climate study, or medicine draw on techniques from the study of visualization, data mining, and statistics to create useful ways to investigate and understand what they have found.
  • The blending of these disciplines has given rise to the new field of visual data analysis, which is not only characterized by its focus on making use of the pattern matching skills that seem to be hard-wired into the human brain, but also in the way in which it facilitates the work of teams working in concert to tease out meaning from complex sets of information.
  • it possible for almost anyone with an analytical bent to easily interpret all sorts of data
  • Many are free or very inexpensive, bringing the ability to engage in rich visual interpretation to virtually anyone.
  • Online services such as Many Eyes, Wordle, Flowing Data, and Gapminder accept uploaded data and allow the user to configure the output to varying degrees.
  • By manipulating variables, or simply seeing them change over time (as Gapminder has done so famously) if patterns exist (or if they don’t), that fact is easily discoverable.
  • The promise for teaching and learning is further afield, but because of the intuitive ways in which it can expose complex relationships to even the uninitiated, there is tremendous opportunity to integrate visual data analysis into undergraduate research, even in survey courses.
  • Visual data analysis may help expand our understanding of learning itself. Learning is one of the most complex of social processes, with a myriad of variables interacting in highly complex ways, making it an ideal focus for the search for patterns.
