Abstract: | LMS "ewhent.com" is simplified installation of award-winning tool
Geanium® with integrated editor into the player of the content, so the
users can add or edit titles and events easily. All the key features,
including map, time and data correlation (covering the whole world
with period from 10.000 BC up to now and into the future, with time
steps defined in minutes if needed), powerful multimedia capabilities,
multiple timeline ability for comparative analysis is there but with
simplified user interface that does not require special training. The
re-publishing features, for embedding the produced titles in the blogs
and social networking sites (as Facebook or MySpace) and
advanced multimedia controls are added making ewhent.com
powerful tool for personal publishing of historical events.
ewhent.com is provided by KING ICT as a public site and can be
used for personal use or by teachers and students free of charge.
We see ewhent.com as a tool for creativity, giving the possibility to
explore the past and the future, where user can have the global
perspective or expose details. | Inhalt: | ewhent.com is a platform which allows its users to create their own
space-time defined content. Created content is shown as events
organized into timelines according to the time when they happened,
shown on the location on the map where they happened. Each event
can have unlimited number of multiple type media attachments
(textual, picture or video) that are shown alongside that event.
Therefore, ewhent.com is an ideal tool for educational purposes,
when it is necessary to show data in a visually attractive and
comprehensive manner. For example, it can be used to show
materials for a class of history, art, literature, geography or any other
class for which the context of time and space is relevant or makes
the data more comprehensive to the students. It can also show more
personal data, like personal experiences.
Correlation is another important feature of ewhent.com, where
multiple timeline feature can be used to compare events from a life
of an artist with creation (and samples) of his or her artwork,
alongside main political and social events from that time.
Since the service is absolutely free of charge for private individuals,
it can be used by teachers or students without any restrictions (free
registration is required for content creation). It comes in Croatian and
English version, but the language of the content depends on its
creator. Any character presented as UTF-8 is supported.
Teachers can use it as a preparation for classes (creating material
for students or material for their own use) or as a tool for
summarization. It can be used by students as a new media for
presentations or a way to visualize complex material.
Core map of the system is map of the world in WGS84 long/lat
projection, fully vectorized with rivers longer then 1.000 km shown
and political borders from 1945 until now. Users are limited to 3
timelines per title with unlimited number of events per timeline and
they can create unlimited number of titles. Each event can have
unlimited number of media attachments, where textual attachments
are entered into the system, pictures are uploaded to the
ewhent.com server and videos are linked from YouTube or similar
repository. Each user have cap limit for total storage on server (thus
somewhat limiting the unlimited options) that is changed as more
resources are added to the system.
Once created topic can be published or automatically shared with
chosen individuals via e-mail, by embedding into users web page or
by using Facebook, Digg or other similar service. Published topic is
available via ewhent.com, giving the opportunity to other interested
individuals to access it and use it as a source of information. | Retrieval |
