[conference] USAB 2009 „Usability & HCI Learning from the Extreme“

uni_linzDie USAB 2009 findet heuer vom 9. – 10. November 2009 in Linz unter dem Motto „Usability & HCI Learning from the Extreme“ statt.

Our 2009 topic is Human–Computer Interaction for eInclusion (HCI4eIn), culminating in the 5th annual Usability Symposium USAB 2009.

Mission Statement: “Interfacing the Interface” for a better eInclusion!

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) pervaded many parts of our daily lives. Due to its flexibility (multimedia connected with multimodality) it offers a huge potential for people with disabilities and others with functional limitations to interact with electronic systems and services.

Hier geht es zur Webseite / Programm. Wir werden auch mit einer Publikation / Präsentation vertreten sein und freuen uns auf spannende Diskussionen – cu there.

We like to thank also our „Best Paper Award“ sponsored by ROLE project (represented by Ralf Klamma) for their help.

Again, thanks to Michael Auer to be part of his conference, to all presenters for their great work as well as all participants to create such successful sessions.
A special thanks also to Sandra from mine for creating the overview slides, the YouTube Video and for the great team work – it was simply a pleasure to work with you:

Interest on article „How People are Using Twitter during Conferences“

Amazing, our article as well as our presentation „How People are Using Twitter during Conferences“ gathered much more interest as ever expected.
There was a big report on Read/Write Web a month ago „Study Reveals High Levels of Twitter Use at Conferences“ and our presentation on slideshare reached the „Hot on Facebook“

How People are using Twitter at Conferences is being talked about on Facebook more than any other document on SlideShare right now. So we’ve put it on the homepage of SlideShare.net (in the „Hot on Facebook“ section)

as well as the „Hot on Twitter“ list:

How People are using Twitter at Conferences is being tweeted more than any other document on SlideShare right now. So we’ve put it on the homepage of SlideShare.net (in the „Hot on Twitter“ section)

Thanks to all who were and are interested in our research and keep us motivated to do further work.

[article] Weaving Social E-learning Platforms Into The Web of Linked Data

My colleague Behnam Taraghi and his friend also contributed to this year i-Know Conference and presented a publication on „Weaving Social E-learning Platforms Into the Web of Linked Data„. I think who is interested in this topic it’s worth to take a look.
Abstract:

In this paper we present an approach for interlinking and RDFising social e-Learning Web 2.0 platforms like ELGG based on semantic tagging and Linked Data principles. A special module called SID (Semantically Interlinked Data) was developed to allow existing tagged and published user generated content an easy entrance into the Web of Data and to enrich it semantically on the other hand. Our approach uses commonly known vocabularies (FOAF, SIOC, MOAT and Tag Ontology) for modelling and generation tasks along with DBPedia as reference dataset for interlinking.

[publication] Will Personal Learning Environments Become Ubiquitous through the Use of Widgets?

Our publication „Will Personal Learning Environments Become Ubiquitous through the Use of Widgets?“ for this year i-Know Conference is now online available.
Abstract:

Nowadays Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) are described as the use of different social software tools for learning and teaching. The use of common web browsers often is a precondition to fulfil the requirements of social software tools. In this publication a new perspective as well as a couple of prototypes is presented to allow a more independent solution in this context. Using the new JavaFX technology so called widgets are implemented which can be used on different devices as well as different operating systems. Furthermore also the web browser can be replaced by a browser instance. It can be summarized that through the use of widgets the learning environment of the future can be more individualized and personalized.
