Ontext

Posted by John Dalziel on Saturday, October 23, 2010, In : Text 

Ontext, a Russian online tool, is intended to provide a communication channel for rapid publication of textual materials onto the Web.

Why use Ontext?

  • Run a simple text blog/reflection journal with an RSS-channel;

Steganography

Posted by John Dalziel on Tuesday, October 19, 2010, In : Security 

Using mozaiq practitioners and learners can hide secret, encrypted messages inside an image that will be invisible to the naked eye and undetectable to everything but careful mathematical analysis.

Even if detected, the message will be...

  • stored encrypted using a password of your choice;
  • all but impossible to read!

Hiding a message like this is known as steganography; part art form, part science and many different methods to do it. The Wikipedia article on steganography provid...

Hollur

Posted by John Dalziel on Friday, October 15, 2010, In : Audio 

Hollur...

  • provides users with a different take on microsharing;
  • lets people socialize around short audio clips, "bits", that are uploaded and categorized for users to find people who have similar interests; they can't be longer than 20 seconds; the same as the 140 characters when tweeting.
Users need to be either incredibly witty or telegraphic in order to get a message across in this environment, but that is obviously the main hook of the site, in the same way that making complex emo...

Wagwire

Posted by John Dalziel on Friday, October 15, 2010, In : Audio 

My colleagues and I are blown away with the potential educational uses for wagwire; if nothing else have the 15 day trial for evaluation.

Learner and employer voice is an important part of the common inspection framework, as is Inclusion. Wagwire could help learning providers in both these areas as well as saving time, reducing travel, and saving money in assessment of work-based learners etc.

Wagwire provides...

  • a Mailbox that allows users to...
    • receive;
    • send;
    • reply;...

Future of Screen Technology

Posted by John Dalziel on Friday, October 8, 2010, In : Screen Technology 

This is the result of TAT's Open Innovation experiment. It is an experience video showing the future of screen technology with stretchable screens, transparent screens and e-ink displays, to name a few.

Now I would like most of those!
