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;...

I was made aware, by supported learning providers, that it was difficult for them to find time to keep up with 'reading' my blogs; my solution was to provide an audio version (http://drop.io/wdlihblog). Feedback and tracked numbers suggest this was a good decision. Not all blogs, however, are available in an audio format BUT...

BlogRadio is a new service that will let users take their favourite RSS feeds and have them read out to them.

i.e. the feeds are turned into streaming med...

fotobabble

Posted by John Dalziel on Saturday, March 6, 2010, In : Image and audio 

Fotobabble offers a different way to share photographs/images with learners and/or link aural questions to images.

The basic premise is that of adding an audio track to whatever image users are sharing.

Simply...

  • upload a photograph;
  • record the (voiced) message/question/instruction etc. that users want to add.

Fotobabble also lends itself to the marketing and the promotion of any course/workshop/event/etc. Granted, it is not as striking as a video but there are some things that do not...

Morse Code

Posted by John Dalziel on Monday, December 21, 2009, In : Code 

Just over a month ago my Dad had a fall and broke his hip. What has that to do with you? Well he used Morse Code to communicate with ‘next door’ to call for help (I bet they wondered what the annoying banging was). If, like my Dad, you have a thing for Morse Code, Qbit Labs’ Morse Code Translator is free Morse Code software online that can help users quench their thirst without having to spend too much of your time trying to learn the code.

Go enter the text that you want to hear (or...
