Today, he engages in a wide range of pursuits, including offering high-quality tips on designing conference posters. He bills his suggestions as "gratuitous advice on how to prepare posters for scientific meetings, research conferences, and similar gathering of nerds." His humorous tone belies a distinct commitment to this area of visual representation, and his suggestions are contained with three areas: "What sections to include", "Dos and DON'Ts", and "Presenting your poster". Visitors can skip around to any of these suggestions, and they will find Purrington's style both down-to-earth and practical. The information here includes sample posters and basic suggestions about what information to include on such a poster. One area not to miss is "Making sure your poster doesn't suck", which recommends that potential poster-presenters have their friends look at their work when they aren't present and stick post-it notes with suggestions on said poster. Overall, this is a great site, and one that's worth sharing with friends and colleagues. <a href="http://scout.wisc.edu/Reports/ScoutReport/2011/scout-111111-verso.php#team">[KMG]</a></p><p> </p></blockquote></div>Mobile Technologieshttps://www.library20.com/groups/academiclibariesandlibrary20web20/forum/mobile-technologies2011-10-25T12:38:20.000Z2011-10-25T12:38:20.000ZLaurence Pattersonhttps://www.library20.com/members/LaurencePatterson<div><p>Is mobile technology something that your academic institution, or indeed the library within that, has adopted, or has the intention of adopted? </p><p> </p><p>Have you developed a mobile website or mobile app, or are you using QR codes around the library building in some way?<br /><br />I'd be really interested to find out what is being done, by whom, and how in the academic library world...</p><p> </p><p> </p></div>shelves reader on mobile devices: RFID or augmented reality?https://www.library20.com/groups/academiclibariesandlibrary20web20/forum/shelves-reader-on-mobile2011-04-25T16:57:10.000Z2011-04-25T16:57:10.000ZAlejandro Chiner Ariashttps://www.library20.com/members/AlejandroChinerArias<div><p>This <a href="http://www.library20.org/profiles/blogs/augmented-reality-software" target="_blank">application</a> made me think as a user I would like to be able to point my mobile at library book shelves and, as I run it along the shelf, see on screen the catalog record of each book, without having to bend my neck to read the book spines and then having to pull and open each likely book to see the details inside.</p><p> </p><p>I don't know of any mobile phones that can read RFID tags, but perhaps an augmented reality application similar to <a href="http://www.library20.org/profiles/blogs/augmented-reality-software" target="_blank">that one</a> could do the trick, provided spine labels are in good condition and so on.</p><p> </p><p>Any thoughts?</p><p> </p><p> </p></div>Who to visit in the UK for a learning experiencehttps://www.library20.com/groups/academiclibariesandlibrary20web20/forum/who-to-visit-in-the-uk-for-a2009-08-14T11:34:32.000Z2009-08-14T11:34:32.000ZAnders Munck Jensenhttps://www.library20.com/members/AndersMunckJensen<div>I am going to the conference Intenet Librarian International 15-16th october in London, but the days up to I would like to visit some libraries to see how they work and what they offer their users.Any ideas as to who would be good to contact?I would prefer academic libraries who use web 2.0 and/ or teach information Litteracy between 12-14th.</div>Exploiting the competitive edge in classroom teachinghttps://www.library20.com/groups/academiclibariesandlibrary20web20/forum/exploiting-the-competitive2009-08-04T17:24:13.000Z2009-08-04T17:24:13.000ZAlejandro Chiner Ariashttps://www.library20.com/members/AlejandroChinerArias<div>This <a href="http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid18950891001?bctid=29848463001" target="_blank">video interview</a> [1] with Dr Bowen poses some interesting questions:If, as he recommends, lectures can be kept out of the classroom and instead be delivered as podcasts ahead of the lesson, and if the podcasts need not feature the classroom lecturers themselves but could be authored by the top experts from other institutions, what kind of business model is going to evolve from this practice? Is it going to be based on Open Courseware, or will the top institutions sell podcast lectures by their top experts? His analogy with the text book market is probably adequate.For institutions using physical classrooms, a good reputation for the quality of the time students spend in their classrooms can provide decisive competitive advantage. How to exploit such an advantage if the number of students in the class is very, very large?Dr Bowen´s advice is to direct the students to watch the lecture ahead of the meeting, which leaves you most of the class time for questions and discussion with non-virtual quality. This is obviously a good strategy, particularly with very large cohorts of students taking the same class.However, he also suggests a quiz accompanying the lecture should be attached to the podcast on the VLE, or whichever virtual platform is used. This suggestion seems to assume students will be watching the podcast while logged on to the virtual platform, but some students will download the podcast and actually watch or listen to it on mobile devices that are not capable of answering a quiz, and this may happen just as they travel to the classroom.I think a lecture quiz can therefore be best placed as a warmer to start the classroom discussion. PowerPoint slides might still have a role in interactive classroom teaching if they can be a medium for such a quiz.Let me think, when was it I was introduced to zapper pedagogy? It must have been in 2005-6 at the University of Wolverhampton, using voting systems to increase interactive learning with their classroom performance systems and personal response units.Ah, getting an interactive whiteboard to work... What better way to start the day?Alec________________________________[1]Young, Jeffrey R.
