Traditionally, the World Wide Web has been a one-way, publisher to reader, medium. The distinguishing feature of Web 2.0 is that it is a bidirectional medium, where content (text, image, audio or video) is contributed by people who interact with the website as well as people and organizations who manage the site – in other words, it is the “read/write web”.

This report is the result of a study into the use of Web 2.0 technologies for content creation for learning and teaching in Higher Education, funded by the JISC, and carried out between March and May 2007. It draws on existing studies, interviews with staff at universities who have implemented Web 2.0 technologies for learning and teaching, and a week-long web based seminar (webinar) with expert contributions, both from speakers and the audience. The report builds on the briefing documents that were written especially for the webinar and the results of the webinar discussions, many of which can be found in the Moodle site that was used to support the conference.

You should be aware that MS Word has several built-in features designed to “autocorrect” the text. This is because the program is designed for business users (for the most part), and often these corrections will not be appropriate for academic papers. However, you should realize that this feature is a problem. Here is a partial list of stupid “auto-corrections” that you might encounter:

Want to get your head around 3D modelling? We use Maya to show you how to build an animatable face feature by feature…
There are many ways in which to model a head in 3D. In this tutorial, we’ll look at polygon modelling with subdivision smoothing formesh refinement. This approach enables you to create the topology of the face mesh in a very direct and hands-on manner. With NURBS modelling, creating a human head can be problematic, and the best method involves stitching multiple surfaces together. This takes an awful lot of planning and isn’t a method you can jump straight into. Polygon modelling enables you to correct mistakes more easily.

In this tutorial you will use 3D Studio Max 6 and reactor to set up a physics simulation. Using these animation tools you will create a wrecking ball (swinging chain with heavy ball on the end used to break things, see figure 1). This tutorial will touch on some of the key elements to remember when using reactor. After completing this tutorial you will be able to create chains and hopefully you will avoid common mistakes that often frustrate people when using these techniques. This tutorial will give you the knowledge to explore and experiment with most of the reactor tools. If used properly, reactor is a powerful tool.

VisualSVN is a transparent integration of the Subversion version control system to the Visual Studio development environment. VisualSVN allows you to take full control on any changes in the project that are made by you or your colleagues. With VisualSVN you can easily see the full history of modifications and restore previous versions of your project. So, you can treat it as a “smart time machine”.

Heroes of Might and Magic is one of the most renowned and beloved series for every turn-based strategy gamer there is. The top of the peak was reached with the almost legendary Heroes of Might and Magic III. This was for many years the defining title for this genre. Although HOMM IV was not so enthusiastically greeted, it was the corner stone that allowed the series to take its decisive step to the 3D realms and opened a new path for this series. HOMM V came to follow the path of HOMM III and carry on its legacy while also trying to sweep off the traces of the painful criticism that its predecessor received.
