Stanford researchers designed software that allows a viewer to zoom and pan while streaming online courses. They recently released the code to the public.

For those of us in more traditional institutions of higher education, if this is where things are heading — or even if pieces of Anya’s presentation come to fruition — what is our response? Strategy?

If you are even remotely connected to higher education, then you *need* to read this one!
Most certainly, not everything that Thomas Frey says will take place…but I’ll bet you he’s right on a number of accounts. Whether he’s right or not, the potential scenarios he brings up ought to give us pause to reflect on ways to respond to these situations…on ways to spot and take advantage of the various opportunities that arise (which will only happen to those organizations who are alert and looking for them).

Wow! You talk about the power of creativity, of multimedia, of combining multiple/powerful/engaging technologies! I look forward to seeing how this project grows and what it can produce for today’s students. Check out the scenarios on their site.
It will also be interesting to see how this relates to trends within publishing (iPad, interactive magazines) and the continued convergence of technologies. The learning ecosystem continues to move, morph, grow, connect, engage.

Why if you miss Siri you’ll miss the future of the Web — from Scobleizer
Siri is the most useful thing I’ve seen so far this year. But after playing with it, getting an interview with its CEO (video here on building43) it’s even more important for you to pay attention to. It is the best example of what the web will be (emphasis DSC).
From DSC:
In the interview this quote stood out for me: “Siri is a ‘do’-engine…not a search engine.”

The Future of the Web
Siri is just a beginning step to realizing this vision of “delegated computing”, where all the world’s services are being dynamically combined at the user’s beck and call. I do strongly agree with Robert’s post in that I believe that this will happen and that delegated computing will be an import part of the future of the web, and the way we interact with computers in general.

- Geo-tagging will be a powerful tool for higher education
- The Apple iPad will have a significant impact in the education market
- The “smudging” of technologies: Augmented reality, mobile computing and crowdsourcing.
- Social media can help solve the student engagement crisis.
- In order for both students and instructors to engage in social media, there needs to be a level of incentive.
Be sure to check out their GradeGuru video/piece for:
- An interesting new incentive system for students
- An engaging way to relay information
- A great illustration of the power of the web to aid in sharing educationally-related information; social learning
- A way to find other students who have good notes

I signed up and downloaded a whitepaper from intelliresponse.com entitled, “Going Mobile: Web Self-Service for Students — Learn how higher education institutions can embrace the new multi-channel eco-system for student self-service (via Mobile, Social Media, Web)”.
I thought it was interesting how the term eco-system weaved its way through this company’s marketing literature. But it also relayed some more data on the increasing amount of mobile devices out there (now and expected in the near future). If we were to substitute the word “learning” in place of the words “self-service”, this topic becomes very relevant to this blog.
Here are a couple graphics from the paper:

Choice – Drive: Time, Technique and Team — from Jim Wenzloff
“These are a few random ideas of ways I think students might accomplish the goal. The motivation is that they can now choose how they wish to express themselves (emphasis DSC). The teacher’s task would be to evaluate how well they met that goal. Evaluation might be based on a rubric that would be applied to all of these assignments. Involving students in the development of the rubric may also help motivate their desire to do the assignment.”
