[video] Open Source Multitouch Technology
Auf der ED-Media Konferenz nahm ich an einem Vortrag über den Einsatz von Multitouch Technologie in der Lehre teil. Sehr spannend fand ich, dass hierbei auf eine Open Source Lösung zurückgegriffen wurde: Community Core Vision
Community Core Vision, CCV for short (formally known as tbeta), is a open source/cross-platform solution for computer vision and machine sensing. It takes an video input stream and outputs tracking data (e.g. coordinates and blob size) and events (e.g. finger down, moved and released) that are used in building multi-touch applications. CCV can interface with various web cameras and video devices as well as connect to various TUIO/OSC/XML enabled applications and supports many multi-touch lighting techniques including: FTIR, DI, DSI, and LLP with expansion planned for the future vision applications (custom modules/filters).

Didactical Challenges of E-Portfolio Work
Last week I attended the International Conference on the Potential of ePortfolios in Higher Education and made a visit at this workshop about „E-Portfolios: Didactical Challenges for Higher Education „.
Anybody who is interested in this topic should look through the slides – great work with valuable hints.

[publication] Is Your University Ready For the Ne(x)t-Generation?
Our publication about „Is Your University Ready For the Ne(x)t-Generation? “ at this year ED-Media Conference is now online.
Abstract:
Abstract: At Graz University of Technology a survey about the hardware equipment and the Web2.0 skills among students of the first semester took place for the second time. This paper reflects the results of that two years evaluation. It answers the questions whether the net-generation already has arrived at universities or not and which consequences this fact has on the teaching and learning behaviors as well as infrastructural aspects of a university. Although young students are technologically increasingly well equipped they do not exhaust the potential of their devices or the potential of uncommon Web2.0 applications yet. Nevertheless the applications and communicational ways of a student’s average usage are signals not to be ignored by a university management. They not only indicate a dawning basic change of a typical student’s life but demand a rethinking of essential structural elements at universities right now.

[publication] Trends Discovery in the Field of E-Learning with Visualization
Our publication about „Trends Discovery in the Field of E-Learning with Visualization“ at this year ED-Media Conference is now online.
Abstract:
In this paper we have performed a content analysis using a collection of papers from Ed-Media conferences archive. Various current trends in research topics, change of interest in contributions from across the world in the field of e-learning have been described using our internally built visualization tool. This visualization tool reveals the evolution or decline of research themes, hot research topics and key researchers across the world. In addition to this, evolution of countries, continents and institutions across research topics has been described as well.
