OERopoly: A game to generate collective intelligence around OER

Collective Intelligence (CI ) is a phenomenon that emerges at the crossroads of three worlds: Open Educational Resources (OER), Web 2.0 technologies and Online Learning Communities. Building CI for the OER movement means capturing the richness of information, experiences, knowledge and resources, that the movement is constantly generating, in a way that they can be shared and reused for the benefit of the movement itself. The organisation of CI starts from collecting the knowledge and experiences of OER's practitioners and scholars in new creative forms, and then situating this knowledge in a collective 'pot' from where it can be leveraged with new 'intelligent' meanings and toward new 'intelligent' goals. This workshop is an attempt to do so by engaging participants in a CI experience, in which they will contribute to, and at the same time take something from, the existing CI around OER, Web 2.0 technologies and Online Learning Communities

KENDALI VISUAL DUAL ARM ROBOT MENGGUNAKAN PENDEKATAN CENTER OF GRAVITY

The robot arm is very popular in the world of robotics for the future. Robot arm has several different kinds of functions. Where the robot arm in addition to functioning as a human arm, also serves as a tool in the industry, robot manipulators. In this final project will be made a Dual Arm Robot with ten degrees of freedom where there are five degrees of freedom in each arm. Dual Arm Robot Control requires that appropriate controls so that the movement of Dual Arm Robot move well and achieve the expected goals, as well as providing a bit error in the system. Therefore Control of Dual Robot Arm using web cameras can produce X and Y axis position on the detection of color. Control of Dual Robot Arm using a web camera when the data already obtained form the midpoint of the X and Y axes of the color detection using OpenCV, Dual Arm Robot to follow the movement the position of the colored object detection. Keywords: Dual Arm Robot, Web Camera, and OpenC

Method and apparatus for measuring web material wound on a reel

The method and apparatus for measuring the number of layers of a web material of known thickness wound on a storage or take-up reel is presented. The method and apparatus are based on the principle that, at a relatively large radius, the loci of layers of a thin web wound on the reel approximate a family of concentric circles having radii respectively successively increasing by a length equal to the web thickness. Tachometer pulses are generated in response to linear movement of the web and reset pulses are generated in response to rotation of the reel. A digital circuit, responsive to the tachometer and reset pulses, generates data indicative of the layer number of any layer of the web and of position of the web within the layer without requiring numerical interpolation

MalLo March: A Live Sonified Performance With User Interaction

Presented at the 22nd International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD-2016)In this extended abstract we present a new performance piece titled MalLo March that uses MalLo, a predictive percussion instrument, to allow for real-time sonification of live performers. The piece consists of two movements where in the first movement audience members will use a web application and headphones to listen to a sonification of MalLo instruments as they are played live on stage. During the second movement each audience member will use an interface in the web app to design their own sonification of the instruments to create a personalized version of the performance. We present an overview of the hardware and interaction design, highlighting various listening modes that provide audience members with different levels of control in designing the sonification of the live performers

Visualization of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping using SVG

Robotic system often use simultaneous localization and mapping method in their operations. Most of the calculation stored as a nested array with multiple level and dimension. SLAM data contains robot movement, object detection and relation between them. This system visualize SLAM data into a map containing robot historical position,object position and relation between object and robot that show detections line from each robot position. The visualized so human eye can understand it. This paper describes the process of movement and detection data composition and conversion to prepare the information required to build a map. The map composed by plotting every movements and detections into polar coordinate area. The map stored into a database for flexible future usage. Commonly used web based interface chosen to display the map via web browser. The map generated by server side scripts that transform polar data into full map

Finding the far right online: an exploratory study of white supremacist websites

White supremacists and the Far Right political movement in the UK have, had considerable success in spreading their messages through Web sites. Some of these Web sites clearly contribute to an enabling environment for racially motivated violence in our towns and cities and possibly help to underpin also the rise of, and support for, the Far Right in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. From a position that acknowledges the enduring issue of white hegemony in Western societies, this paper provides a number of research-based recommendations for further research and future policy and practice in tackling white supremacist racial hatred on the Net

The Web will kill them all: new media, digital utopia, and political struggle in the Italian 5-Star Movement

This article examines the role of discourses about new media technology and the Web in the rise of the 5-Star Movement (Movimento 5 Stelle, or M5S) in Italy. Founded by comedian and activist Beppe Grillo and Web entrepreneur Gianrobe rto Casaleggio in 2009, this movement succeeded in becoming the second largest party at t he 2013 national elections in Italy. This article aims to discuss how elements of digital uto pia and Web-centric discourses have been inserted into the movement’s political message, and how the construction of the Web as a myth has shaped the movement’s discourse and political p ractice. The 5-Star Movement is compared and contrasted with other social and political move ments in Western countries which have displayed a similar emphasis on new media, such as the Occupy movement, the Indignados movement, and the Pirate Parties in Sweden and Germ any. By adopting and mutating cyber- utopian discourses from the so-called Californian i deology, the movement symbolically identifies itself with the Web. The traditional political esta blishment is associated with “old” media (television, radio, and the printed press), and rep resented as a “walking dead,” doomed to be superseded and buried by a Web-based direct democra cy
