7. Game-Based Learning
• Game-Based learning reflects a number of important skills
higher education institutions strive for their students to
acquire: collaboration, problem solving, communication,
critical thinking, and digital literacy.

9. Learning Analytics
• The goal of learning
analytics is to enable
instructors and
institutions to tailor
educational
opportunities to each
student’s level of need
and ability in close-to-
real time.
Watch Dr. Freeman
Hrabowski, President of UMBC, speak
about UMBC’s success with data
analytics.

10. Gesture-based Computing
The idea that simple gestures and
natural, comfortable motions can be used to
control computers is opening the way to a host of
input devices that look and feel very different
from the keyboard and mouse — and that are
increasingly enabling our devices to infer
meaning from the movements and gestures we
make.

• Wii

12. Art and Fashion Design. Created by students at BallState
University, “Morp Holuminescence” uses body gestures to adjust the
light in a room for optimal viewing results. Designed for use in the
fashion industry, the system offers an integrated lighting and sensor
system.

13. Science and Medicine. Researchers at Norrkoping Visualization Centre and the Center
for Medical Image Science and Visualization in Sweden have created a virtual autopsy
using a multi-touch table. Detailed CT scans are created from a living or dead person
and transferred to the table where they are manipulated with gestures, allowing
forensic scientists to examine a body, make virtual cross-sections, and view layers
including skin, muscle, blood vessels, and bone.

14. Network-aware smart objects that connect the physical world with the
world of information
THE INTERNET OF THINGS

15. A smart object has 4 key attributes:
• it is small, and thus easy to attach to almost
anything;
• it has a unique identifier;
• it has a small store of data or information; and
• it has a way to communicate that information
to an external device on demand

16. Finding physical objects such as reference
materials, household goods, or sports
equipment could become as easy as finding
information is now.
The idea of tiny chips that communicate their
location and other information raises evident
questions about privacy and security, and the
time when we will see them commonly used in
educational settings is still distant, but smart
object technology promises to transform the
way we perceive and interact with physical
objects – in time.

17. Objects that are findable on the Internet
Attendance. Northern Arizona University is
using student cards that are embedded with
RFID tags to track their class attendance. This is
helping professors who teach large classes by
automating a once manual process.

18. In the classroom, IP-addressable projectors can
already stream the slides or videos professors are
sharing so that students who could not physically
attend class can view the presentations and
lecture materials from wherever they are.
Similarly, small smart sensors placed in
study rooms around campus buildings could
provide real-time updates on the occupancy
of the rooms via the network.
