Taiwan’s ITRI unveils interactive TV app — from taiwantoday.tw
Excerpt (emphasis DSC):
“CutX enables users to capture images and video clips instantly from the program they are watching or from those they have missed, note down important information and take pictures of or record stunning scenes,” Chou explained, adding that the captured scenes can be shared with friends through Facebook and other social media.
Chou pointed out that the saved images will not take up any storage space in one’s smartphone, because when users download CutX, the software automatically establishes an exclusive database in the cloud server to store photos and clips. Users need only launch the app to retrieve something, he said.

An introduction to technology integration — from edutopia.org
Excerpt:
Integrating technology with classroom practice can be a great way to strengthen engagement by linking students to a global audience, turning them into creators of digital media, and helping them practice collaboration skills that will prepare them for the future. Read a short introductory article.
Using devices like these, students of all ages might be able to take some serious field trips:
For example…implementing and leveraging such a network of remote-controlled devices*, students could:
For accountability — as well as for setting aside intentional time to process the information — students would update their own blogs about what they experienced, heard, and saw. They would need to include at least one image, along with the text they write about their experience. Or perhaps a brief/edited piece of digital video or audio of some of the statements that they heard that really resonated with them, or that they had further questions on. The default setting on such postings would be to be kept private, but if the teacher and the student felt that a posting could/should be made public, a quick setting could be checked to publish it out there for others to see/experience.
Real world. Engaging. Passing over more choice and control to the students so that they can pursue what they are passionate about.
* These mobile devices could also be hooked up to translation engines as well as to suites of web-based collaboration tools.

Citing IT skills shortage, IBM wants to expand presence at universities — from wiredacademic.com
Excerpt (emphasis DSC):
“We want to be the scale up partner of choice for these universities,” said Jim Sporher, head of IBM’s university programs. “We want to make sure they have access to technology and understand our strategy.” He also sees massive open online courses (MOOCs) as a mega-trend and will be considering ways for IBM to be part of the MOOC trend in the future, particularly as many of the MOOC providers such as Udacity and Coursera offer classes in computer science.
…
As a big blue-chip progenitor of the tech industry, IBM is worth listening to in many regards. For one, corporate computing trends often filter down into the education space. The corporate world often has the money to purchase and deploy game-changing technologies. IBM sees that it also works the other way too, where computing at the university level creates new businesses and ideas that move up into the corporate realm.

I wonder…will the corporations develop their own MOOCs? Their own digital “playlists” and associated exams? (i.e. that someone needs to go through and pass in order to work for them…show me what you can do.) Hmmm…

Excerpts from John Katzman’s Keynote:
Higher ed is made up of a series of smaller markets — niches [From DSC: What’s your niche?]
Might have 2-3 high quality programs; and many smaller programs with lower production levels.
Fewer players of larger size
Consolidation is going to occur w/in higher ed. Besides consolidation, there will be collaboration/pooling of resources, and/or the hollowing out within higher ed.
From DSC:
Not that this is new…but looking at the above image, I wonder if more 100% online-based courses and schools will adopt this sort of “space”/interface as a sort of entryway into their institution’s materials.
