10 answers to managing video online in education - 21st Century ...

The vast growth of video in social media and student use of smart phones and tablets is a challenge to mainstream education.

Educational institutions are using more and more online video, especially in MOOCs, blogs and wikis and in VLES as reference and support for coursework and learning.

However there are major concerns about the effectiveness and accountability of video online to enhance teaching and learning.

Recent surveys have highlighted 10 key problems

1. Concerns over privacy: how does a teacher know what video a student is watching?
2. No separation between course and personal accounts: how does a teacher manage student viewing of video out of class?
3. No grading and assessment criteria: how does a teacher elicit student responses and understanding of any video?
4. No measurement criteria: how can a teacher mark and assess student responses to any video?
5. Lack of integration with learning management solutions: how can teachers and students get a more effective blended learning approach using video?
6. Takes too much time to learn how to use: how can we create a simpler, easier and more ?one size fits all? to manage and deploy video in education?
7. Expense of converting multiple format video files: how can we avoid the expense of converting video between proprietary formats in order to display it on different devices?
8. The problems of deploying onto mobile devices: how do we get video played on both android and IOS platforms?
9. Copyright protection: how can we ensure that either the institutions or the publishers copyright on the videos published are protected?
10. Lack of support at any institution: how can we get institutional buy in for change?

A unique new video ?virtual? learning management solution called SANSSpace has the answers

SANSSpace has a unique comparative recorder and player that allows teachers to book mark any audio or video file with text, audio or video ?e-post it notes? and send the original video complete with the book marked notes to designated cohorts of students.

Students can then record over the original video or add their own book marks in text audio or video for teacher marking and assessment.

There is also a live video chat feature controlled by the teacher, which allows for both remote tutorials to be conducted from place to place and importantly for those tutorials to recorded and interrogated back via the SANSSpace comparative recorder and player.

10 answers to managing video online

1. A personalised student log in system: SANSSpace links to any existing log in / enrolment system so all student activity is finitely tracked and managed.
2. Segments course work video from personal ?social media? video accounts: using SANSSpace an administrator or teacher can send a specific course work video file to a student folder and both confirm receipt and any subsequent activity in its use.
3. An integrated grading and assessment programme (in text audio and video): SANSSpace has a unique comparative recorder and player allowing teachers and students to record over, or create personalised bookmarks around the original video.
4. Collation of text audio and video: all student responses are easily collected for teacher assessment
5. Seamlessly integrates any LMS: it is easy to link and blend SANSSpace to LMS or VLE like Moodle or BlackBoard or an institution?s web site
6. Is easy to learn and use: general user interface is simple and for both teacher and student use and there are easy to use training videos and remote support
7. Video format conversion: no need to convert video into different formats, the SANSSpace player manages any video format
8. Going mobile: SANSSpace works on any mobile device ? via a business app for both android and IOS
9. Protects IP: videos cannot be downloaded outside of SANSSpace
10. Institutional buy-in: SANSSpace answers all the key questions about managing video online making institutional buy-in much easier

Grizzlies advance, win 4 straight over Clippers

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) ? The Grizzlies are very happy after finally getting a bit of payback for their first-round loss to the Los Angeles Clippers a year ago.

They also made a bit of NBA history.

Memphis became only the 10th team in NBA history to win four straight after trailing 0-2 ? and the first to win the next four all by double digits. The Grizzlies won four straight postseason games for the first time in their short playoff history, ousting the Los Angeles Clippers in six games with a 118-105 victory on Friday night.

Zach Randolph, who had 23 points before being ejected with 1:57 left, said the Grizzlies had a lot of emotion in their locker room rallying from 0-2 when people thought they were down. Winning this series also makes up a bit for losing to the Clippers in Game 7 in this arena a year ago.

"Last year I thought we should have won the series, but we didn't," Randolph said. "It means more this time."

Memphis' win sets up a rematch in the Western Conference semifinals against Oklahoma City, the team that beat the Grizzlies in seven games in 2011, the only other time they won a playoff series. The Grizzlies will play Game 1 against the Thunder on Sunday in Oklahoma City.

"Sky is the limit for us," Grizzlies guard Tony Allen said. "To back up what he (Randolph) said, one game at a time has been our motto. We are a blue-collar team. We are going to grind it out game in and game out. We are just looking forward to Sunday, taking it one game at a time."

The Grizzlies and Clippers posted matching franchise records going 56-32 in the regular season. The Clippers had the No. 4 seed and home-court advantage after winning the season series 3-1 against Memphis, and they even won their ninth straight game going up 2-0 in Los Angeles. Then they wound up losing four straight for only the third time this season.

Now the Clippers have to decide whether to bring back coach Vinny Del Negro, who wants to return, and try to convince Chris Paul not to leave when he hits free agency in July. Paul said he has plenty of time to figure out his next move.

"Our season is over," Paul said. "There's nothing to take away from it. It is what it is. We lost."

Mike Conley also scored 23 points thanks to going 12 of 17 at the free throw line for Memphis. The Grizzlies finished with seven players in double figures. Tony Allen had a postseason-best 19 points and Jerryd Bayless had 16.

Reserve Matt Barnes scored a career playoff-best 30 points for Los Angeles. Paul had 28 points before being ejected with 2:29 left for crashing into Marc Gasol off a missed free throw, though he shook hands with several Grizzlies before going to the locker room.

Del Negro said he didn't understand how Paul could be thrown out of the game. Paul had never been ejected from the playoffs before, and he thanked an unnamed friend for reminding him to watch what he said to reporters.

"I got kids to feed," Paul said.

Blake Griffin didn't start because of his sprained right ankle, and he scored nine points in 13:56. Del Negro said Griffin's ankle was as big as a grapefruit limiting him to a few minutes at a stretch.

"This is not how we wanted it to end," Griffin said.

NBA Commissioner David Stern was on hand, as was Atlanta Falcons receiver Julio Jones. Conley had old Ohio State teammate Greg Oden in the arena as well. Having the commissioner on hand didn't slow anyone down in a game featuring lots of headlocks and knockdowns along with seven technical fouls combined. Even Grant Hill had three fouls in 3 minutes in the first half, and Chauncey Billups got a flagrant-1.

"They came out threw and everything at us," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. "They played small. They played smaller. They pressed. They zoned. They gave hard fouls. They really competed. We held our poise. Held up mentally tough-wise and were able to get the win."

Billups credited the Grizzlies for never letting them get into a rhythm or their Lob City run-and-gun approach.

"Because of that, we lose the series," Billups said.

Los Angeles led only once, 45-44 on Barnes' fourth 3-pointer with 5:08 left in the second quarter. The teams had four more ties before Quincy Pondexter hit a 3 with 2:02 left putting the Grizzlies ahead to stay at 54-51.

The Clippers had one last run, a 10-1 spurt capped by Caron Butler's 20-foot jumper with 5:16 left pulling them within 103-97. Conley hit a 3 followed by a 3 from Bayless, and Randolph scored inside with 3:06 remaining to push the lead back to 111-99.

Billups had as many fouls as points (four). He got that flagrant-1 in the third when he put his body into Conley trying to stop a fast-break layup attempt and putting his right arm around Conley's neck as they went to the floor. Conley hit the free throws, then hit a 3-pointer from the left corner giving the Grizzlies a 74-61 lead with 7:11 left.

After the bucket, Randolph and Griffin wrestled each other to the court in a tangle of bodies. That earned the duo their fourth double-foul in this series with Randolph getting a technical.

Paul picked up his technical for expressing his disgust when Randolph scored and picked up the foul. Griffin said the tape will speak for what happened on that play, but he felt a hand on his neck. Randolph said Griffin was pulling him down so he tried to brace for the fall.

NOTES: Hollins played for one of the nine teams that rallied from a 0-2 deficit. He was with Portland in 1977 when the Trail Blazers rallied to beat Philadelphia for the NBA championship. ... The Clippers did manage to snap a streak by the Grizzlies. Memphis had held opponents to 25 points or fewer in the third quarter in 52 straight games since Jan. 14, a streak 25 games longer than any other in the shot clock era. The Clippers scored 26 in the third. ... Memphis went 23-1 in the regular season when scoring at least 100 points and is 3-0 in the postseason. ... Memphis also had its 13th straight sellout in the postseason.

Adult cells transformed into early-stage nerve cells, bypassing the pluripotent stem cell stage

May 2, 2013 ? A University of Wisconsin-Madison research group has converted skin cells from people and monkeys into a cell that can form a wide variety of nervous-system cells -- without passing through the do-it-all stage called the induced pluripotent stem cell, or iPSC.

Bypassing the ultra-flexible iPSC stage was a key advantage, says senior author Su-Chun Zhang, a professor of neuroscience and neurology. "IPSC cells can generate any cell type, which could be a problem for cell-based therapy to repair damage due to disease or injury in the nervous system."

In particular, the absence of iPSC cells rules out the formation of tumors by pluripotent cells in the recipient, a major concern involving stem cell therapy.

A second advance comes from the virus that delivers genes to reprogram the adult skin cells into a different and more flexible form. Unlike other viruses used for this process, the Sendai virus does not become part of the cell's genes.

Jianfeng Lu, Zhang's postdoctoral research associate at the UW-Madison Waisman Center, removed skin cells from monkeys and people, and exposed them to Sendai virus for 24 hours. Lu then warmed the culture dish to kill the virus without harming the transforming cells. Thirteen days later, Lu was able to harvest a stem cell called an induced neural progenitor. After the progenitor was implanted into newborn mice, neural cells seemed to grow normally, without forming obvious defects or tumors, Zhang says.

Other researchers have bypassed the pluripotent stem cell stage while turning skin cells into neurons and other specialized cells, Zhang acknowledges, but the new research, just published in Cell Reports, had a different goal. "Our idea was to turn skin cells to neural progenitors, cells that can produce cells relating to the neural tissue. These progenitors can be propagated in large numbers."

The research overcomes limitations of previous efforts, Zhang says. First, the Sendai virus, a kind of cold virus, is considered safe because it does not enter the cell's DNA, and it is killed by heat within 24 hours. (This is quite similar to the fever that raises our temperature to remove cold virus.) Second, the neural progenitors have a greater ability to grow daughter cells for research or therapy. Third, the progenitor cells are already well along the path toward specialization, and cannot become, say, liver or muscle cells after implantation. Finally, the progenitors can produce many more specialized cells.

The neurons that grew from the progenitor had the markings of neurons found in the rear of the brain, and that specialization can also be helpful. "For therapeutic use, it is essential to use specific types of neural progenitors," says Zhang. "We need region-specific and function-specific neuronal types for specific neurological diseases."

Progenitor cells grown from the skin of ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) or spinal muscular atrophy patients can be transformed into various neural cells to model each disease and allow rapid drug screening, Zhang adds.

Eventually, the process could produce cells used to treat conditions like spinal cord injury and ALS.

"These transplantation experiments confirmed that the reprogrammed cells indeed belong to cells of the intended brain regions and the progenitors produced the three major classes of neural cells: neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes," Zhang says. "This proof-of-principle study highlights the possibility to generate many specialized neural progenitors for specific neurological disorders."

The Drop Bag: Perceptions of cyclists; and dangers of Tough ...

The Drop Bag is stocked with Active Pursuit reading to enjoy at the finish line of your day, or a coffee break serving as the equivalent of an endurance event aid station. Look for it as a mid-week feature from the Active Pursuit.

What is a cyclist: Analyzing the failure of the U.S. to put even one city in the top 20 of a recent ranking of cycle-friendly towns, Alex Davies nails a large obstacle: the perception in America that cyclists are spandex-wearing extreme athletes. Cycling in the U.S. remains tied to sport, or recreation, with little thought to transportation. That limits momentum for the infrastructure that would make cities more bike-friendly. Davies quotes consultant Mikael Colville-Anderson, from Copenhaenize Design: ?It?s like having race walkers doing the talking for pedestrians. It?s great that they love cycling, but it?s not a very effective marketing technique.?

Firefighters throwing sand: Sandbagging isn?t the latest firefighting technique being deployed by the Milwaukee Fire Department, but it is the new training regimen being followed to improve strength and conditioning. Much like those hoisting sand bags in fitness studios, firefighters are hefting sandbags in various ways as part of the Ultimate Sandbag Dynamic Resistance Training.

Drowning in a Tough Mudder: Following the drowning death of Avishek Sengupta in the Tough Mudder Mid-Atlantic, Outside Online reviews the carnage in the rapidly expanding obstacle race market. Sengupta was the first to die in a Tough Mudder, but participants have died in the Warrior Dash and the injuries are growing.

Chris Solinsky back on track: Stevens Point native Chris Solinsky didn?t win the 5,000 meters at the Payton Jordan Invitational, but he sent a message to the top distance runners in the country by running a solid 13:23: he?s back and on the chase. Solinsky set the U.S. record in the 10K at the Payton Jordan in 2010, then suffered a severe hamstring injury and dropped from the elite ranks for nearly two years. The All-American from the University of Wisconsin ? Madison was overjoyed in this post-race interview.

Just a quick question about this - if my business pays part of my mortgage (say, it takes up 30% of my house's floorspace so I can claim 30% of my mortgage interest as a business related deduction, so my business will pay 30% of my mortgage payments as rent, yes?). Can I do that? How does that work? Will the "rent" that the business pays then form part of my income? I'll talk to my accountant but it's a late night thought going through my mind (we're currently in the set-up stage so having many late night pow-wows with myself).

Cheers!

Happy birthday to hottest 'Game of Thrones' star

Celebs

Kurt Schlosser TODAY

10 hours ago

HBO

Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen in "Game of Thrones."

Actress Emilia Clarke turns 25 today, so for the mother of the fire-breathing dragons from "Game of Thrones," we're celebrating with a birthday hot list of sorts.

As Daenerys Targaryen on the popular HBO series, Clarke has established herself as one tough khaleesi. As she marches toward the Seven Kingdoms to reclaim the Iron Throne, let's appreciate five of her best scenes along the way.

Beware of spoilers if you're still catching up.

Khal Drogo likes what he sees
When the Dothraki warrior meets his bride-to-be, he doesn't say anything. He doesn't need to. His horse does all the grunting.

Serious pregnancy cravings
Daenerys impresses Drogo and the chanting Dothraki clan by chomping on a raw horse heart -- she's having a son, after all, and now "the prince is riding." "They promised me that it would taste similar to a gummy bear and it definitely didn?t," Clarke told Vulture.

She walks in to a burning ring of fire
When Khaleesi walks into the pyre consuming her dead husband's body, and emerges the next morning a little charred around the edges, we know we're in for a great ride as a tiny dragon screeches over her shoulder.

Death in the House of the Undying
Chained to a wall with her three tiny dragons, an imprisoned Daenerys appears to be out of options against Pyat Pree, the warlock who intends to hold her until "the end of time." Or until he's set ablaze in a dramatic display of the creatures' best attribute.

What's the Valyrian term for 'burn him alive'?
No need for a translator -- Daenerys speaks to all of us in this powerful scene in which she takes control of the Unsullied. With a newly freed slave army at her back, the march to the Iron Throne just got real.
