I conclude this because of the notes about windows switching and eye strain.
While having eBooks (also) accessible on those devices makes sense, I believe their primary medium would/should be an eInk device.

Thanks so much for including the Saylor Foundation on your list! We’re excited to be listed among all these excellent resources. We’re continuing to add more resources to our site each day and, with our Open Textbook Challenge (www.saylor.org/OTC), we anticipate the inclusion of numerous textbooks on our site that will be available to all.

]]> Comment on Inspirational Talk on Ed Tech by Joan Getman by Michael Rees http://mrees.wordpress.com/2011/08/23/inspirational-talk-on-ed-tech-by-joan-getman/#comment-693 Thu, 25 Aug 2011 02:46:52 +0000 https://mrees.wordpress.com/2011/08/23/inspirational-talk-on-ed-tech-by-joan-getman/#comment-693 Doug, on the framework for recommending services Joan did not go into any more detail, she simply emphasised the importance of using a defined framework consistently. The ‘scouts and guides’ comment came while Joan discussed outsourcing and how USC were heading strongly in that direction. Thus existing IT services staff must change their expertise so they can compare and advise on suitable outsourced services (scouting) and then act as guides to the chosen services for the teaching staff.

I have a copy of Joan’s slides but am clarifying whether I have permission to publish them here. I will update this post as soon as I can.

For example, on the “use predefined framework when recommending a service” – what frameworks have people used?

I’m also interested in more about how IT was reformed – “scouts and guides” instead of “builders and hosters”.

Thanks

Yes there are obvious limitations to Chromebooks and their approach, but the lack of needing to do OS maintenance, rabbit-fast startup/shutdown, and other benefits make them very enjoyable to use if your particular needs are “cloud friendly”.

I’m really happy with mine so far, and if/when you do finally get one I hope you have as much fun with it too!

I am continually amazed how poorly students, even my IT students, perform at maintenance and upgrade of Windows/OSX/Linux even with institutional help available. I am sure Chrome OS will be available for standard netbooks but inevitably it will be a substandard user experience.

That said the EeePC X101 Macbook Air for $200 with Meego will certainly be on my shopping list.

And the chromebooks at $20 a month for 3 years adds up to $720 (I know that includes support), when you can own your own netbook outright for as little as $200 with options such as this one:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/30/asus-brings-out-extra-skinny-eee-pc-x101-running-meego-hands-on/

I think you will be able to run Chrome OS on a laptop or netbook (you can just run it off a usb flash drive or sd card, too). I already installed the Chromium OS once on a netbook but it was still buggy. See http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/

These are definitely not the realms I have acheived in my own blog as yet.

We need an influence metric for non-traditional academic communication and then get it recognised by management. Is five citations of an A* journal article as influential as 5000 readers of a blog post?

BTW this interface for commenting via the iPad theme is a little odd. The usual magnifying glass to select/copy text won’t appear and I can’t relocate the cursor unless I touch a different field to the text box. And the correction box with the little x to prevent autocorrection appears but touching it does not work hence the space between pearl and trees. :) . The reading experience is good though.

Yes, I take your point about web capture and indeed mentioned it’s usefulness for transitory information in my original post. When I reflected on my own Zotero entries, though, it was clear page capture was not useful.

LIke you I agree the Zotero myriad files method for page capture is frustrating despite being an authentic copy. Other systems capture just the text and images or generate a PDF, something for Zotero to consider.

If the site content subsequently changes, you’ll need this snapshot. The point is to account for the transience of much web content.

Glad to hear that you have no problem importing your Zotero collection to WizFolio. You can now view that collection in iPad! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db3OSexvKOc Our next version will make use of Google Scholar’s database, greatly expanding the bibliographic abstraction capability to non-medical items. Currently you can search in Google Scholar and use WizAdd to import the desired items into your WizFolio account. In addition you can access the 19 million items on Scholars Portal and CiteUlike inside WizFolio. Both Scholars Portal and CiteUlike have large collections of non-medical items. Hope they are useful to you in your work.

I found Wizfolio a reasonable reference manager but it seemed slow and the ads were irritating even though I can see they are necessary for the free version. There was a bias towards medicine which is not my field, and now I see you are the founder it is understandable.

Have you tried the WizAdd the web importer from WizFolio? It can scrap snippet of a webpage, bibliographic data from the top scientific publishers, patents and videos from YouTube and JOVE. The scrapped items can be saved to a user selected folder.
If you like to give WizFolio a try, you can import your collection with WizImporter into your WizFolio account. https://help.wizfolio.com/Contents/Import.aspx?zotero=1
Interested to hear your experience with WizAdd and WizImporter.
Disclosure: I am founder of WizFolio

The standalone version, for example seems pretty far advanced, other parts I’m not sure if they have even started.

In any case, as I mentioned above, Zotero has some significant catching up to do compared to Mendeley. Your bookmarklet capture is really very good.

I’m glad to hear you’ve been getting along with Mendeley well. If you need any help, just let me know. I didn’t catch from the announcement when the Everywhere system is going to actually become available. Have you heard anything?

Users need to understand limitations of all tech devices and the iPad is no exception. Can’t wait to see what Apple competitors bring out.

It is not the device or form factor that limits it on the creation side, it is the OS. If Apple desired, it could totally free up the device. It has so much potential. I am pushing the envelope on the content creation side. I am hoping that someone comes out with a Win 7 tablet that has an interface layer that retains all the strengths of the iPad and addresses the weaknesses.
