Students as Change Agents. Innovating in the curriculum through the use of technology is a perennial problem but a number of projects have developed initiatives which actively engage students as partners in the change process. Evidence from projects across a number of Jisc programmes shows that involving students more centrally in the change agenda can be highly effective. Students who are working on change agents in technology-enhanced learning may be interested to join the National Change Agents Network HEIflyers, hosted by the University of Greenwich (see more details of Greenwich projects below).
Approaches to engaging students in technology-related change projects include the following: Students as Digital Pioneers The Digital Literacies projects are engaging students in a number of ways to drive change in the development of digital literacies in a range of contexts.

DistroWatch.com: Put the fun back into computing. Use Linux, BSD. Future Network. Software-Defined Networks Explained. By KATHY PRETZ 7 August 2013 Software-defined networks are being touted as a disruptive technology that could revolutionize computer networks through software, not hardware.
But little is known about the architecture that will put the capabilities of running such systems into the hands of ordinary users. To spread the word about the benefits of SDNs, IEEE formed a new working group in May to help promote the technology through various activities, including a conference. The Software Defined Network Group is sponsored by the IEEE Future Directions Committee, the institute’s R&D arm. “An SDN is basically a network of equipment that decouples the hardware from the software,” says Antonio Manzalini, chair of the working group. “It’s a way for operators to create a network out of other components, such as devices, machines, sensors, and ‘smart things,’ which currently aren’t considered network elements.” In addition, regulatory issues must also be addressed.

Cloud-based software asset management (SAM) might have lost the Great Debate, but the truth is that it wins the real argument for the future of SAM. SAM, in case you don't know, is the license wrangling software that many medium and large companies use to track licenses and meter usage. But it's much more than that, or can be. In its extended form, it is also a way to deploy applications, patches, updates, and full operating systems to devices. SAM isn't going away. The argument is in deployment. As just about anyone in IT can tell you, operating systems and applications have grown exponentially over the years to the point where broadband is no longer a luxury, but a necessity.
Cloud-based SAM doesn't minimize application or operating system bloat, but what it does is leverage the internet's bandwidth for delivery, monitoring, and metering. Cloud-based SAM will be most effective with user devices, which will always outnumber datacentered ones. What do you think of cloud-based SAM? Visuel Kommunikation + 45 26 20 65 84.

eBook - Effective Mobile Learning: 50+ Quick Tips and Resources. Augmented Reality in Education Ppt Presentation. Walking Trees and Handling Events. This summer, I’ve seen all kinds of programming approaches as I’ve bounced between the Web, XSLT, Erlang, and XML, with visits to many other environments. As I look through the cool new possibilities for interfaces, for scaling up and down, and for dealing with data, I keep seeing two basic patterns repeating: walking trees (of data or document structure), and handling events. Walking trees can be annoying, to put it mildy. The Document Object Model (DOM) is famously a headache for JavaScript (and other) developers.
There are obvious opportunities for advanced developers to focus on graphs and other more flexible data structures as well. Trees are not necessarily the most efficient way to store information, especially when their content changes regularly. However, trees have become a rather natural default, and not just for objects, for good reason. Sometimes, especially in front-end web development, those decorations and links connect to the second common pattern: event handling. The science of collaboration.
It's a long, expensive, risky road to turn a scientific breakthrough into a treatment that can help patients. Fewer organizations are trying to tackle the challenges alone, says a new paper from MIT researchers published August 28 in the journal Science Translational Medicine. An essential new way to move discoveries forward has emerged in the form of multi-stakeholder collaborations involving three or more different types of organizations, such as drug companies, government regulators and patient groups, write Magdalini Papadaki, a research associate, and Gigi Hirsch, a physician-entrepreneur and executive director of the MIT Center for Biomedical Innovation.
The authors are calling for a new "science of collaboration" to learn what works and doesn't work; to improve how leaders can design, manage and evaluate collaborations; and to help educate and train future leaders with the necessary organizational and managerial skills. My Resource Cloud.
