    It is time to take another very serous look.  I may make the pitch that WebLion investigate this and build expertise.

News: The Invisible Computer Lab - Inside Higher Ed - 5 views

  • Well before the term entered the popular lexicon via a recent Microsoft advertising campaign, “the cloud” was transforming how college students interact with their coursework.

      I never thought of the power behind MS' "the cloud" advertising campaign ... even my own 9 year old now says that ... and we aren't Windows users.  I wonder if that commercial is enough to tip the scale on a student's understanding of cloud services.  Interesting.
  • In a virtual computing lab, students log in via a secured website and choose from a library of “images” — virtual desktops outfitted with different versions of various programs. The selected image then appears as a window on the student’s own computer desktop, at which point students can open a program and begin working. They can save or print their work just as though the program were running on their own hard drives.

      We will be releasing our own virtual lab infrastructure later this semester.  CLC is making that happen now.

    I'm not sure we would need a laptop program. Our own survey numbers point to close to 100% ownership by students as it is. In the short term, remote application services would not be able to replace the labs. We would use this service at first for very specialized software that a relatively few use. The number of students using our labs is staggering ... I now have numbers broken down by College and the students in the Liberal Arts are the largest population. Something we should look more closely at.

    This could be an interesting way to move iOS apps to our iPod Touches and iPads ... maybe.

Daring Fireball Linked List: Nilay Patel on Wearing an iPod Nano as a Watch - 0 views

    I couldn't agree more with this assertion that wearable computers are going to be around very soon.  What I like about this one line in the post is the idea that something as simple as a sub 100 dollar device could serve as a live view into an always on, always connected device like the iPhone.  Paired with the voice control features of the iPhone a setup like this could provide some pretty amazing functionality.

(Neatness has no place in education.) | The Fish Wrapper - 0 views

  • Yesterday, I attended a 90 minute presentation by one of the most well-known CMS vendors.
  • teaching, learning, knowing, and thinking. Once you have begun to grapple with these messy and essential questions, sitting through presentations aimed at describing content delivery and administrative efficiences sucks a little more of your soul out of your being.
  • Ultimately, then, our conversations about technologies must grapple with our larger community’s values — and what code we think enacts these values.

Totò Animated « bavatuesdays - 0 views

    I find it fascinating that there is a resurgence in interest of the animated gif.  This was something we were all enamored with back in 1995.  It is however great for storytelling ... and is retro-cool.
