[publication] @twitter Mining#Microblogs Using #Semantic Technologies

Our publication on „@twitter Mining#Microblogs Using #Semantic Technologies“ at this year 6th Workshop on Semantic Web Applications and Perspectives is now online available.
Abstract:

In this paper we report about our current and ongoing research efforts aiming at knowledge discovery, offline social data mining and social entity extraction based upon semantic technologies. Further we are aiming to provide the scientific architecture paradigm for building semantic applications that rely on social data. In this early stage our work focuses on data from Twitter as currently most popular and fastest growing microblogging platform. In the realm of our research we implemented applications like Grabeeter for storing searching and caching the social data and STAT infrastructure that uses semantic standards like RDF (SIOC, FOAF), SPARQL and existing semantic services as Sinidice and Linked Data silos as DBPedia or GeoNames as well. They represent parts of novel architecture paradigm for semantic social applications intended to be introduced here.

[fnma] 20. Tagung des Vereins Forum neue Medien Austria

In meiner Rolle als Vizepräsident des Vereins Forum neue Medien Austria freut es mich die 20. Tagung anzukündigen, welche den Titel „Hochschullehre im Jahre 2020“ trägt. Stattfinden wird sie an der
Höhere Graphische Bundes-Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt in Wien „die Graphische“.
Besonders freut es uns, dass es uns gelungen ist auch einen Call for Participation zu erstellen, wo die Bildung von Arbeitsgruppen zu hochschulübergreifenden Themen ermöglicht werden soll:

Das Forum neue Medien Austria (fnm-austria) schreibt hiermit drei einjährige Leitungen von drei Arbeitsgruppen zu den Schwerpunktthemen „Qualität der Hochschullehre“, „Austausch von hochschuldidaktischen Modellen“ und „Technologiegestützte Lehrinnovation“ aus. Einreichungen können bis spätestens 17. Oktober 2010 erfolgen, wobei alle Mitglieder des Forum neue Medien Austria einreichberechtigt sind. Der Call wendet sich an Personen, die die Koordination der Arbeitsgruppenmitglieder sowie die Zusammenfassung der Ergebnisse übernehmen wollen. Pro Arbeitsgruppenleitung stehen eine Aufwandsentschädigung in der Höhe von 3.000 Euro sowie Reisekostenabgeltungen in der Höhe von maximal 5.000 Euro zur Verfügung. Die Präsentation der Arbeitsgruppenleitungen sowie die Konstituierung der Arbeitsgruppen erfolgt am 18. November 2010 im Rahmen der 20. fnm-austria Tagung in Wien.Wir freuen uns auf eine gute Zusammenarbeit!

Hier das genaue Tagungsprogramm und der Call for Participation.

[publication] All I need to know about Twitter in Education I learned in Kindergarten

Our publication at this year World Computer Congress about „All I need to know about Twitter in Education I learned in Kindergarten“ is now online as draft version available.
Abstract:

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don’t hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don’t take things that aren’t yours.
Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life – learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.

[publication] Nintendo Wii Remote Controller in the classroom. A report on the Development and Evaluation of a Demonstrator Kit for e-Teaching

Our publication about „Nintendo Wii Remote Controller in the classroom. A report on the Development and Evaluation of a Demonstrator Kit for e-Teaching“ is now published in the Journal Computer and Informatics.

Abstract:

Increasing availability of game based technologies together with advances in Human–Computer Interaction and Usability Engineering provides new challenges to virtual environments for their utilization in e-Teaching. Consequently, a goal is to provide learners with the equivalent of practical learning experiences, whilst, at the same time, supporting creativity for both teachers and learners. Current market surveys showed that the Wii remote controller (Wiimote) is more wide spread than standard Tablet PCs and is the most used computer input device worldwide, which, given its collection of sensors, accelerometers and Bluetooth technology, makes it of great interest for HCI experiments in the area of e-Learning and e-Teaching. In this paper we discuss the importance of gestures for teaching and describe the design and development of a low-cost demonstrator kit for the Wiimote in order to demonstrate that gestures can enhance the quality of the lecturing process.
