[publication] Reading and Learning with Any Device University Content for E-Books and E-Readers

Our publication on „Reading and Learning with Any Device University Content for E-Books and E-Readers“ at this year ED-Media Conference in Lisbon is now online available. The slides have been already published here.
Abstract:

Due to the fact that e-readers and e-books in general are booming stronger than ever their applicability for teaching and learning aspects absolutely need to be focused. Besides important didactical aspects there are a number of product related challenges that had to be taken first when integrating e-books to the university ́s workaday life. This paper presents a way to turn teaching content into e-reader readable formats. On base of different raw materials according to their formats a couple of e-book output versions (for HTML, PDF, iPad, EPUB and Mobi usage) are compiled automatically. This development of adequate learning content by the meaning of e- book generation for multiple devices is described detailed as well as its user-friendly implementation into the Learning Management System of Graz University of Technology. Current technological limitations of that process and future aspects are discussed too.

Social Media Stream at ED-Media Conference

Last week this year ED-Media Conference took place in Lisbon, Portugal. I as member of the Steering Committee was elected beforehand to coordinate the Social Media Team. Our task was to handle the Twitter stream (#edmedia11) as well as engage people to interact online.
The result is quite amazing – 4 days of Twitter use leads to more than 3700 tweets (see here a statistic) and a lot of further online material.

Paulo colleted also all URLs of the stream in our own ED-Media Scoop.it Page – take a look on this, I think we did a good work.

Finally thanks a lot to my team for working with you for just 4 days (and it’s worth to follow them on Twitter): @pgsimoes, @_joanasilva_, @etutoria, @AMargaridaMaia, @GCruzMatos, @jjmpleal

[presentation] Web 2.0 in Higher Education

My last presentation at this year ED-Media Conference was about „Web 2.0 in Higher Education“ – it is a rather „traditional“ one, which I did every year for the graduate student stream (ok, some slides were changed a little bit):

[tool] PuMo – Monitor your publications on YouTube, Scribd and Slideshare

Im Rahmen eines Masterprojekts an der TU Graz haben wir ein Tool entwickelt, welches es ermöglicht seine Dokumente, Videos und Präsentationen zu monitoren. Und wir hoffen es ist denkbar einfach – Account anlegen, URL eingeben und zurücklehnen – den Rest übernimmt PuMo:

Industry and economy already have detected the World Wide Web, or the web, as a PR-instrument. Both its enormous popularity as well as its outstunning dynamics can only let us guess the broad audience, which the web adresses. Views, downloads and clicks now are well-established definitions of webmonitoring, which aims at modelling reputation of diverse companies in numbers.
The interesting development of the web leads to the question, how webmonitoring can be installed in research and science. Thus, the outcome of this master project is to build the fundaments for the webmonitoring of publications. Supported publications include videos on YouTube, documents on Scribd as well as presentations on Slideshare, all well-known Web-2.0-plattforms, which more and more scientists use to publicize their project reports and documents.
Hence, aim is the construction of this online plattform, which collects metrics of publications in form of views, clicks, rating, etc., evaluates and finally visualizes these metrics.
