Delivr.com + Percent Mobile = QR Squared — from Paul Simbeck-Hampson

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):

In my recent Webinar on Mobile Tagging I spoke of a QR code management platform called Delivr.com. In this post I’d like to highlight some of reasons why I consider this platform shines above the rest.

 

Webinar: QR Codes, mTagging and Learning

 

A somewhat related addendum:

Cookery goes interactive on BBC One
BBC One’s new cookery series – The Good Cook is to be the UK’s first-ever cookery programme to use “Quick Response” codes. Audiences with QR-enabled phones will be able to use this interactive technology to link directly to the recipes and ingredients featured in the programme via the BBC Food mobile website.

Available while watching the series live on TV, BBC iPlayer and from the website the audience can get the full details for each recipe and a list of ingredients by simply scanning the QR codes on the screen onto their mobile smart phone.

Oslo Lux 2011

was a one day seminar (held back in January 2011) with associated art exhibition that explores the intersections of light, space and interaction.

Per Anthony Rowe:

The next LUX event is confirmed as taking place on 8-10 July 2011 in Wellington, New Zealand. The format will be similar to Oslo Lux – a mix of local and international artists, researchers, designers and architects will map out the overlaps of light, space and interaction. The event will take place over 2 1/2 days, and is timed to coincide with Te Aomarama, a Maori festival of light. See http://www.lux.org.nz/ for more information.

echalk — from www.echalk.de

 


From DSC:
I’m looking for a technology that can capture 20 feet worth of “chalkboard” for longer mathematical problems and solutions and equations. How can we capture that?

Perhaps I’m not thinking clearly, but tablets don’t seem nearly large enough to fit these types of work on them in their entirety. Document cameras are another potential option, but again, the writing surface is too small. That goes for PolyVision’s Eno Board, Smart’s Interactive Whiteboards, BrightLink Projectors from Epson and other similar products.

That’s why E-Chalk caught my attention.

I’m trying to free up students’ minds — to allow them to be cognitively engaged with — and present with — the content being discussed (vs. having to madly write down the equations before the professor erases the board). I want them to walk away with such writings on a device and/or accessible somewhere on the cloud.



 

E-chalk is more than a traditional chalkboard because it integrates multimedia elements:

  • Pictures can be directly retrieved from the Internet or from the local computer.
  • Mathematical functions can be plotted.
  • Mathematical expressions can be evaluated on the fly via handwriting recognition.
  • Interactive web services (CGI scripts) can be integrated in the lecture.
