Blackboard Mobile puts campus in the palm of your hand - building43 - 0 views

  •  
    ""I was standing in line in a coffee shop on campus, and noticed that many people these days are using smartphones," says Kayvon Beykpour, vice-president of Blackboard Mobile. "Students are doing all kinds of things with them: they're on Facebook, checking email, making phone calls. People were doing just about everything except interacting with the university, which we thought was a bit of a disconnect. There's so many things that, as a student, you need to do every day, whether it's registering for a course, or finding your way around campus, or checking the directory or athletics scores-and they're all traditionally different places. Why not create a really sophisticated, really elegant, and really beautiful app that brings all those different services together in one place, and makes it really usable for the student, for the faculty, for the tourist? And that's what our platform does.""

How Twitter Will Change the Way We Live - TIME - 1 views

  • the sum total of those tweets added up to something truly substantive, like a suspension bridge made of pebbles
  • The technology writer Clive Thompson calls this "ambient awareness": by following these quick, abbreviated status reports from members of your extended social network, you get a strangely satisfying glimpse of their daily routines. We don't think it at all moronic to start a phone call with a friend by asking how her day is going. Twitter gives you the same information without your even having to ask.

Research Question One - Horizon.au - 0 views

  • Ubiquitous Video not in size or stature, but the complete process of video from capture (capability built into phones, pocket cameras, Flip devices) to easy to use editing tools (some web-based, but full featured ones come with modern operating systems), to ease of distribution via video sharing sites YouTube, vimeo, etc all point to video being a common form of communication (and in terms of response via video), so that "writing" is now multimodal.
