[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.

[L3T] L3T goes Mr. Wong

Nachdem vermehrt der Wunsch aufgetreten ist Linklisten für Buchkapiteln des L3T Projektes ablegen zu können, haben wir entschieden eine L3T Gruppe bei Mr. Wong hierfür anzulegen. Man kann jederzeit der Gruppe beitreten und Links dazu speichern. Soll die Zuordnung gezielt für ein Kapitel erfolgen, dann bitten wir um die Verwendung eines speziellen Tag in der Form l3t_XXX (XXX ist das Kürzel für das Kapitel, z.B. l3t_lms für Lernmanagementsystemte), damit man schnell die entsprechenden Links finden kann (hier der Link zu dieser Liste).
Wer Mr. Wong noch nicht verwendet hat, hier ein guter Link zu den zusätzlichen Möglichkeiten mit Firefox Toolbar etc.

[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.

Welcome Days 2010 an der TU Graz

Am 29. und 30. September finden heuer die Einführungstage bzw. Welcome Days für Erstsemestrige an der TU Graz statt. Bereits traditionell versuchen wir in 2 Tagen Hilfestellungen zu geben, damit der Start gut gelingt:

Zwei Tage – Alles für den erfolgreichen Start ins Studium. Unter diesem Motto veranstaltet die TU Graz in Zusammenarbeit mit alumniTUGraz 1887 die Welcome Days 2010. Welcome Days (Einführungstage) sind ein Bestreben der TU Graz, innerhalb der ersten Studientage den Studienanfängerinnen und -anfängern die wichtigsten Informationen für einen erfolgreichen Studienbeginn an der Universität zu vermitteln und gleichzeitig einen ersten Einblick in die Arbeitswelten der Ingenieurinnen und Ingenieure zu geben.

Hier gibt es alle detaillierten Informationen, sowie die genaue Veranstaltunszeit bzw. die zugehörigen Orte. Alles Gute auch von unserer Seite für das bevorstehende Studium an der TU Graz.

[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.
