    The mouse and keyboard are no longer the only way to input data into computing devices. This trend capitalizes on touch interfaces as made popular by the itouch/ iphone as well as the gesture based interfaces made popular by the Wii. Additionally, sixth sense computing (as seen in Minority Report) is a reality as this has already been invented. These links are from the Horizon Report 2010 and will be used by students in the NetGenEd project to understanding Gesture Based computing

    Open content and sharing is a shift in the way traditional academics have run. This is a cost-effective alternative to textbooks and customizable educational content is becoming increasingly available for free over the Internet. (Just be wary that you do not confuse "free" with "open source" - it is not the same.) Current links from the Horizon Report 2010 on this trend.

    eBooks are becoming more affordable and with devices like the Kindle, Nook, and soon to be released iPad, ebooks are becoming more practical (as well as environmentally friendly as they save paper.) This trend is predicted to move full scale into the college scene within the next 2-3 years. These are the links from the Horizon Report 2010 on this topic.

    Augmented Reality is enhancing the world around us by using electronic devices to create a reality that is supplemented (or "augmented") with additional information. Sometimes this is location based (using GPS) or uses QR Codes (with QR code readers) and most often with handheld devices making this truly possible. These links are from the Horizon Report 2010.

      This is the basic definintion of visual data analysis
  • Some of these tools, such as Visokio Omniscope, are powerful hybrid desktop/web visualisation clients that can replace spreadsheets, presentation packages like PowerPoint, and create portable, reusable data files anyone can access, navigate and filter using a free viewer.

    Visual data analysis facilitates human-data interaction by highlighting patterns, anomalies and alert conditions in reporting views...tables of data ready for human consumption. Visual data analysis enables data to be interpreted holistically by exposing contextually meanful attributes of the data set such as patterns, trends, structure, and exceptions. Visual data analysis may build upon prior logical processing via mathematical formulas, artificial intelligence or other automated mechanisms for analysis and improving data quality. Strictly speaking, visual data analysis primarily focuses on visual presentation of tabular views ready for human consumption.

  • For nearly forty years, the keyboard and mouse have been the primary means to interact with computers.
  • Now, new devices are appearing on the market that take advantage of motions that are easy and intuitive to make, allowing us an unprecedented level of control over the devices around us. Cameras and sensors pick up the movements of our bodies without the need of remotes or handheld tracking tools.
  • It is already common to interact with a new class of devices entirely by using natural gestures.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • The Microsoft Surface, the iPhone and iPod Touch
  • , the Nintendo Wii, and other gesture-based systems accept input in the form of taps, swipes, and other ways of touching, hand and arm motions, or body movement
  • These are the first in a growing array of alternative input devices that allow computers to recognize and interpret natural physical gestures as a means of control.
  • As the underlying technologies evolve, a variety of approaches to gesture-based input are being explored. The screens of the iPhone and the Surface, for instance, react to pressure, motion, and the number of fingers touching the devices
  • Gesture-based interfaces are changing the way we interact with computers, giving us a more intuitive way to control devices.
  • urrently, the most common applications of gesture-based computing are for computer games, file and media browsing, and simulation and training
  • Because it changes not only the physical and mechanical aspects of interacting with computers, but also our perception of what it means to work with a computer, gesture-based computing is a potentially transformative technology.
  • The distance between the user and the machine decreases and the sense of power and control increases when the machine responds to movements that feel natural.
  • The kinesthetic nature of gesture-based computing will very likely lead to new kinds of teaching or training simulations that look, feel, and operate almost exactly like their real-world counterparts.
  • Larger multi-touch displays support collaborative work, allowing multiple users to interact with content simultaneously

    Open content could become more mainstream in higher education this year. The movement holds great potential for the higher education space where the New Media Consortium (NMC)--which publishes The Horizon Report annually in collaboration with Educause Learning Initiative--identifies it as a trend whose adoption rate will be one year or less.

    This is is a very important study from the U.K. and Office of Standards in Education in 2009 entitled "The Safe use of new technologies" showed that where provision for e-safety was outstanding all used 'managed' systems to help pupils to become safe and responsible users of new technologies." This is being cited EVERYWHERE. Take a look.
