    This is an online slideshow that gives 10 reasons why Open Content is great for teaching and learning. The slideshow is 6 minutes, 42 seconds long and displays pictures that loosely relate to the points.

    What does "open" mean? The word has different meanings in different contexts. Our commonsense, every day experience teaches us that "open" is a continuous (not binary) construct. A door can be wide open, mostly open, cracked slightly open, or completely closed. So can your eyes, so can a window, etc.

  • 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

visual data analysis

shared by Tanner B on 30 Mar 10 - No Cached
  • Data analysis is at the heart of many science and engineering fields, and so it is a topic of great interest here at WPI.  Visual data analysis is a field that uses modeling techniques to represent large data sets visually allowing the user or users to search for patterns and structures within the data.  Many visual data analysis tools are also on the horizon that will aid users in their data mining process.

visual data analysis

  • 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.

    Each student is able to view different angles of each diagram when they feel they need more help understanding what it is about, or performing a procedure multiple times from multiple angles when more practice is needed.
