Homemade Graduation Centers Pieces

[Eltech] Removed work of teachers

Hi everyone, now for the last blog entry for a very long time. Task was to provide a concept for a two-semester research seminar on their feet. I am beginning to think that this is either occupational therapy, because the teachers organizing out of ideas on how to steal us many existing time , or we serve in our matriculation only to create a reasonable curriculum for future generations. After all, it is in flesh not the first time that such a task was waiting for me at a seminar ...

Well anyway, you go so apparently this time not to blog entries, that would be very absurd. After all, the concepts are in Wiki . It is therefore of no further large-received it, only the formalities I will say a few words.

The grubby group around me and my disciples ( Uwe , Florian and Martin) arrived with a handful of beer with Uwe and it was heard as the world champion . Everyone involved had their own ideas and ideas, but in the end you had to strike a balance. After all, it had most of our teams (100% (one hundred and)) the pre-degree complete for several semesters in the case and should therefore also have other projects. Meanwhile explained by this fact also, as some Seminar groups is possible, enormously too much time stuck into the task management skills.

In any case, I am very pleased that this additional lecture is over, even if the effort should amount to only 2 points. However, since apparently the curriculum was planned as a one-semester research seminar (6 Expense items for those who are not so fit at math, that's three times!), Everything appeared to a completely paradoxical. If you could check off at least 3 more courses by 2 would also be enough, but something is indeed in the university-not bad but strange Ilmenau. Anyway, we have tried to create the concept so that the effort is justified and keep in mind that a pre-diploma is a prerequisite for participation.

Over and out!

[Eltech] structure and build the user interface of Camtasia Studio 4

Hi everyone!

This time it was about one part, properties and use of TechSmith Camtasia to describe Studio. find basic information such as performance and size of the program like it in the blog of Martin and Wiki .

Uwe and I on the other hand, we had put together last Saturday morning to an exemplary application of Camtasia Studio 4 , latest Version to just create. At the same time we had the task of describing the structure and building the user interface. In the course of the first coffee / cigarette ratio we had the idea! A symbiosis of the two would be the icing on the "I". "We film simple as we filmed a movie there, and here we describe everything," it was swirled in our heads.

said than done! Takes a total of 5 has it taken yet, after all, we are perfectionists before the Lord. Funnily enough, we have then have to do with the alternative program Lecturnity . Information about the program in our wiki and the blog the four-Girly-group of Julia, Yvonne , Jennifer and Karoline . The problem was that you could record with Camtasia not the use of Camtasia because the program does not run in multiple instances.

In the end it a little entertaining movies came out on to find, through the following link:

Crystal Clean Deodorant Replacement

[Eltech] Scope and classification of Corel Draw X3

New week, new job, again is probably more next week miserably much time to process . kick the bucket Well, as it may, it is indeed not help.

This time deals dufte this blog entry with the rating scale and the categorical classification of the program Corel Draw X3 . This is basically a vector graphics based on image-editing program. The amount of money applied for the full version is currently € 553.35 inc VAT (according Corel Online Store ).

to tuning a little tutorial in which a simple plastic lettering made and provided with shade, all with Corel Draw X3 .


regardless of the actual specialization vectors of course, all standard pixel-based image formats are supported by all. jpg to. bmp to. gif, there is virtually nothing to deal Corel Draw could not. According to the manufacturer even formats of competing products Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and Macromedia Freehand be imported. Furthermore, the program also with files from Microsoft Word , Excel and Power Point do something. The manufactured files by default in the program's own format. Cdr saved, but the backup is of course also possible in all common image formats. Whoever it is quite especially like, the files even in Flash . swf format or export. pdf.

More information on Adobe Illustrator example, can be obtained on our Kurswiki , from the bubbling spring of himself as questionable call end "noodle-Group". To Photoshop also information on the wiki be found, at least in the near term. This surprised me somewhat, two were from Adobe were used to study for the seminar, even if it is at once a pixel-based and the second is a vector-based. Would not it have made more sense, already mentioned include Macromedia Freehand in the seminar? Just as a suggestion. Continue with Corel Draw . For diversion and a sense of endless possibilities here, a little further tutorial, as a graphically demanding! "Opening Soon" was provided day, with the course and all the bells and whistles around it:



Corel Draw is, as you could guess already an extremely complex program. This is also the biggest downer dar. because it requires (of course depending on prior knowledge) of a very long learning curve. Nor should the program will only be used if you want to exploit the full range of options and, specifically working with vector images. Predestined is the program for owners such as a T-shirt printing, since the system worked primarily with vectors. On the other hand, Draw is of course also recommended for pixel work, if only because of the various integrated tools. At the end of yet another small impression of how the program can also be used for art, although created with an older version, but Corel Draw .

If you want to know more about the user interface of Corel Draw X3 , this will be found on the blogs of my team partners Uwe Sonderhoff and Jennifer Neisser . The fourth group member, the smart Karoline Kaibel , deals with the program and will provide on their blog some small home-made buttons, and a tutorial The summit of manufacture. Go Boys!

[Eltech] Web-based learning application created with Flash

So, it is time again (although a rather un-Christian, but oh well ...), an illustrious record of the seminar to compose. Genaur said about the effect produced in this district web-based learning application that we received as a task. The wiki of our seminar turned out to be really useful this time, it was possible but a very good guide to complete the task with the authoring software Adobe Flash found there.

First start I wanted, I then had about 2 hours but still retain and otherwise deal, as the trial version download 403 MB in size and it was only after registration with name and email address when Adobe was possible. When my spam folder every day would not already enough ...

Well in any case the pottering went after initial orientation problems quite well from his hand, as I said, not least, thanks to the good tutorials on Wiki. The einizige really wicked problem that I came across was the linking of the pages you create with one another. The conjured by me at mouseover and click buttons metamorphierenden partout would not accept so-called ActionScript property. No matter what I've done repeatedly emblazoned the message "Current selection can not have actions applied to it." front of me and drove me almost in crazy. 3 whole hours I'm trying to figure out what I would do wrong. Until I sometime in the Internet (up to date about the 27ste) found the problem. I used the trial version of Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and there was default, ActionScript 3.0 set. However, this does not work with objects declared as buttons, or at least only under certain conditions, to which I will not go further. I then simply stop using ActionScript 2.0. My God, what if I had not in those three hours can make all ... Well, now is made it. Published

I have all now in Moodle, as I this learning platform already had a job for processing. In any event, there were some problems in terms of the provision of Web sites. If the folder created by the teacher in the files directory is designated as too long, the stored. Html pages can not be properly read and not always. And if you now delete files, but with the same name back sets, problems seem to occur again. Had I but the Flash files several times barbeiten new in Flash CS3 so the links to get it working properly, as initially seemed to work only. Swf files. But with complete deletion of the folder and create a completely new with a shorter name but the problem could be be resolved. What I also noticed quite negative, the fact that one in Moodle can always upload a single file, so do not have the option of just five of the same mark, may order to bring in one go on the server. Since I had 3 variations of each page (. Html,. Swf and. Pdf), I had to do thanks to the problems some time to upload ...

The result can be found via the link at the early end of this post. Seminar 10 is the chosen, I have even included (not real exisiterenden) students and this just made my animals by to look at and evaluate the generated rough concept. So, now, then, is enough for today!

Dish Network Dvr External Hard Drive Hack

[ Eltech] Scope and classification of Authorware

Today still seminar accompanying entry deals with the scope and the basic classification of the authoring software Authorware (kinda funny, right?).

software manufacturer is Perle, the well-known company Adobe (Company within the meaning of enterprise, I come here now so no one with legal Besserwissergedöhns!), Formerly the Macromedia was responsible for previous versions. The product is currently available in dot-version-7 available and costs than buying new juicy 2999.00 € excluding VAT. So overall, yet in German, may be called the full version for even more juicy € 3568.81 personal property (see Adobe Online Store ). This of course only for the home, for teaching and research, you can purchase the program for humane € 489.00 plus € 181.00 per license issued. 53,00 Euro would cost a single disk, but in today's Internet age, this may indeed (a term describing the way, quite accurately many of the social conditions of the Ilmenau Student Union) due to thicker bandwidth is negligible.

it is now the proud owners can be created with Authorware specially developed educational software units. This is also the declared aim of the authoring tool. Whether that be in the form of Internet courses, development of educational media for example, languages, or more abstract things like driving tests, any form of multi-media interactive learning applications with reference to the illustrated modular software can be created.

The scope of services is provided by the following summary, taken from Softguide.de , in some detail shown:

    • additions of third-party printing, encryption, advanced database support and much more

Whether the program to purchase worth, the user must decide for themselves. At least it was all "features" as the new German saying goes, some drawbacks that must be weighed accordingly. First, it is worth mentioning that for playing with Authorware training software specialties the so-called (who would have thought it?) Authorware Player need a far less common than, say, the multimedia performer Flash Player. Furthermore, it must be noted that a pretty hefty learning curve is needed, experts say. Also, the space is of relatively high, creating Web applications with Authorware can also appear shaky. But growing band widths, as already mentioned, by now already enormous heights ...

Acquisition, ultimately, is to each according to detailed acquaintance with the left (thankfully) free trial version itself.

Finally now some examples of how a few small learning games can look created with Authorware . This entails creating the appropriate Player, installed on your responsibility, parents are responsible for their children! Add to this the aforementioned games on Barbara Brown's Authorware Page .

Have fun, I have nothing extra out looking too difficult, so that no one of the students here will be overwhelmed ... in this sense!

Where To Buy Brucci Lipstick

[Eltech] Moodle as a "teacher"

So my dear readers, respectively, to address the majority of you non-readers!
Generally I think this is a "recursive paradox" means. Is only speculation on my part ...

In any case I've tried level to create the first task of the seminar in Moodle as a teacher-in-law. Is really not so simple. Man is killed simply by the various advanced options. Each wrong click on a keyword link one astray. Even reading the very boring written blog entries, the processor since the last week helped much. After all I fell in most because of the length and variety of being evil poor little eyes to the entries (no offense, dudes!). Nothing I have nevertheless tried durchzufuchsen. And to be honest, the best (I think), you get the point through learning by doing. Try to delete fail, try again fail, again, again, delete (this loop to eight times), and then finally you get a fairly passable result. The fictitious seminar materials I've actually uploaded, and also a small improvised text's eight seminars I could write. Just how hinkriegt as a heading and not the entire text is available, could not I find out. Maybe someday ... So if you somehow should also be interested in the slightest, will you look with your grandiose TU account (like, you do not have?? ^ _ ^) The teacher's room "e-learning technology training room", in the eighth meeting will be my mental outpourings!

So, that's it for now, I hear now on the latest album "So Divided" by ... And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead. Very good album by the way (product placement). Coming this year, for Highfield quite here in the near Ilmenau, so get out there! I'm also here:)

Adobe Dreamweaver Vs Front Page

[Eltech] General structure and construction of the learning platform metacoon

metacoon that the interested viewer is quite early in the eye, is a very well structured learning platform. Clearly separate areas enable smooth working. The upper horizontal area can be considered as the main menu.

With the "desk", the enrollment in the various learning areas to be managed. The metacoon side of the TU Ilmenau for example, offers a broad portfolio of available spaces, thematically similar to the selection of the prestigious courses to pass in university.

appears on the left side of the desk also a small menu selection, on the one titled with "organization", where all the news of their own rooms, new entries in the learning materials, pool (more on that later) finds, as well as a calendar as a guidance for time not very potent natures is ready. The second one is another small menu sticks with the name "storage" in the exercise, here are all previously uploaded images are also written notes by the user.

With the "active learning" in the horizontal main menu at the top to get to the above-mentioned study materials pool. Here you will find all the faculty and staff provided materials, a part of the learning spaces in which one is registered as a user.

first is for all students with a collection of materials for the use of Metacoonsystems without restrictions. Another plus for the use!

The last walkable area is now the "communication" dar. Behind this rather cryptic formulation of the hidden but extremely strong social aspect of metacoon and turns it into a buddy and getting to learn system, even if of course targeted only to the internal price and purely professional relationship. Starting under "tools" with the discussion boards of the spaces in which one is registered on the bulletin boards that are supposedly important information is passed on to users, to address books and instant messaging, which primarily the strengthening of social solidarity and the rapid availability is attributed to employees.

Another social expression make the business cards and therefore the profiles of individual users dar. Here is now under "Who's Who" where a list of all users of the standard University metacoon platform. In connection with this course are also the user's data itself to view very clearly and to change under a scanning "my data", which is the last unit makes little menu on the left side of the upper menu "Communication".

is the last item in the main menu is the obligatory help guide, for those users who through the metacoon portal with all the best will want to find or can not cope.

All in all, as already mentioned, a very clear portal frames with clearly separated within the site. It invites the user almost a help to use it and discover another joyous aspect in the modern, computer-and internetdominiertem learning. I deliberately use here is not the evil "Learning" with the word "e" in front, reasons are to be derived from our first online Roundtable.

That concludes my first blog entry to the seminar! Over and out!
