This presentation describes the importance of detecting and responding to users emotion while they work with online environments. Emotion is vital to learning and using technology to recognize users’ emotion has led to powerful performance results. First, we describe how to detect emotion, using sensors (camera, wrist band, pressure mouse, seat sensors). Computational tutors dynamically collected data streams of students’ physiological activity and self-reports of emotions. Summaries of student physiological activity helped predict more than 80% of the variance of students’ emotional states. Second, we describe responses or interventions that we used once emotion was detected, i.e., we evaluated the impact of animated embodied agents on user motivation and achievement. Results showed that women and students with disabilities, while using agents reported increased math value, self-concept and mastery orientation and reduced frustration. Third, we describe the integration of computer vision techniques to improve detection of emotion.
The document discusses earthquakes and seismic waves. It begins with an introduction to faults and folds caused by tectonic plate movement. It then describes the three main types of faults: normal, reverse, and strike-slip. The document discusses seismic waves generated by earthquakes, including primary, secondary, and surface waves. Studying the properties of seismic wave reflection and refraction has provided insights into Earth's internal structure, such as the existence of the crust, mantle, and core.

This document discusses visual journalism. It defines visual journalism as using multimedia like video, pictures and graphics to tell stories across platforms in a way that improves understanding beyond just words. It discusses why visual journalism is important, noting that audiences desire explanations of complex topics and are used to visual interfaces. New technologies now make it easier to create visual explanations through tools that analyze and visualize data. This leads to implications like shifting focus from words to visuals, investing in new multimedia skills, and quickly experimenting with visual storytelling.
The 2023 Reuters Digital News Report provides evidence that news consumption habits continue to change as younger generations come of age relying primarily on digital media. While there are differences between countries and generations, people's platform preferences do not typically regress as they age. The report surveys 46 markets representing over half the world's population and finds that the public is increasingly voting with their attention and embracing digital media, presenting challenges for news organizations to connect with audiences online. The report also examines attitudes toward algorithms, news engagement over time, drivers of media criticism, the importance of public service media, and the rise of news podcasts.

Technology is present in our everyday lives from e-mail to e-Commerce from Internet to Instant Messaging from Youtube videos to video conferencing from social networking to Skyping from texting to online textbooks. Technologies bring together the seemingly disparate concepts of ease and complexity. Compared to just ten years ago, we have much more ease in accessing information, resources, and multimedia, but keeping up with emerging technologies can be complex and overwhelming. Knowing what technologies your students have and how they can be leveraged to increase students' success in college can be intimidating. Emerging technologies such as social networking, multi-media sharing, collaborative workspaces, and mobile technologies are significantly changing the nature of learning and learner expectations for interaction, access, and engagement. Learning center professionals need to leverage emerging technologies in ways that can enhance they ways in which we deliver services, create resources, market our centers, manage and train staff, and evaluate our centers. This pre-conference institute will address the following:
Provide a practical guide for how to best understand and evaluate the usefulness of emerging technologies;
Introduce participants to some free technology resources that can help learning center professionals maximize their resources and outreach to students;
Discuss best practices in implementing technology innovations in learning centers; and
Help participants devise a plan for how to choose the technology tools that will help them meet their goals in managing their learning center.
In today's data-driven world, data visualization plays a pivotal role in conveying complex information, making it accessible and understandable to a broad audience.

How to start generating leads with infographicsInfogram
Infographics are a powerful way of communicating information since they combine data and visual images - left brain and right brain - thereby making it easier to digest, remember and share information.
They get shared more frequently on social media than a simple text-only post with the same information.
Creating infographics for your website can get you more traffic.
So how do we go about creating effective infographics that tell our brand story through data visualisation? And how do we promote those infographics to drive real, qualified leads for our sales team?
In this presentation we show you:
- What infographics are and why you should care
- The "dos and dont's" of Infographic creation
- How to optimise your infographic for lead generation
- How to promote your infographic
- Measure and optimise your infographic campaign
- Make your storytelling more effective through infographics

From an Idea to a Vision you can implement - Vision workshopVasco Duarte
You've been there. You are tasked with implementing a product that someone else cooked up. What do do next? Follow the spec you say? Wrong!
Developing a product without this Vision is not just waste, it is bad business for you and for your customer.
Before we start implementing any product we must explore it's reason to exist, what customers it benefits and ultimately how it can help your customers (not you!) make money.
In this workshop we will take an example and go through a simple process that helps us explore a product idea to the point that a spec is just a reference, but the product comes alive in the minds of the team members.
This document summarizes the key findings of a large pan-European online survey conducted in 16 countries in 2009 on digital media consumption. The survey included over 32,000 internet users and was representative of each country's online population. It covered topics like mobile internet usage, online activities, e-commerce purchases, and preferences for accessing content on mobile versus PC. The findings were enriched through an international online discussion board and the author's expertise in digital research.

4. Most people tend to have shorter and shorter attention spans, for which (unsurprisingly)
looking at a captivating image beats out reading large amounts of text.
People are constantly exposed to information overload via our computers, tablets, and
smartphones. The key is no longer to get the information out there, but to get attention
for it.
Human beings are highly visual and can absorb visual information faster and more
easily than other kinds of information.
Most people forget a large amount of what they’ve read, but they do remember what
they’ve seen.
Infographics are more fun and engaging than plain text.
Infographics, when done right, do not only make it easier to understand complex
information, but boost both the creator’s profile and website traffic.
Infographics allow the creator to showcase his or her knowledge about a certain topic.
A good infographic can spread quickly on the Internet, giving other bloggers and
writers something to talk about, and the creator backlinks and gets more exposure.
