Jeremy Britten replied to Ross Morrone's discussion QR Codes: A passing fad?"Keep in mind that QR codes don't necessarily have to go to a URL. One way we're starting to use them at the University of North Alabama is for business cards (at least in our Marketing Dept.). Scan the code, and your contact information is…"

Charlie Triplett replied to Jeremy Britten's discussion Borrowing ideas/designs"Regardless of what you think of the design—there's a proverb attributed to Picasso that sums it up nicely:
Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.
Within one's own institution, I think the acceptable limit of copying is extended. In…"
Susan replied to Jeremy Britten's discussion Borrowing ideas/designs"I wasn't meaning to criticize. :-)
The biggest one that strikes me right off are the horizontal layout of links on the right. People scan lists, links, etc. in a more vertical manner, following an F pattern."
Bradley Livermore replied to Jeremy Britten's discussion Borrowing ideas/designs"Well it's been up at least a year (since it was reported "stolen" a year ago) and I would hope they did some kind of conversion impact tracking of the new layout.
What sorts of usability issues are you seeing?"
kzirkel replied to Jeremy Britten's discussion Borrowing ideas/designs"Also interesting to me is that the homepage design was copied by our own bookstore, without our (Public Affairs Office) knowledge or input:

We're not sure if they did it because they thought it was a good solution…"
Susan replied to Jeremy Britten's discussion Borrowing ideas/designs"Thanks Eric. :-) I was just about to point out that usability and accessibility aren't the same. I've spent several years reading research on usability, and while a relatively small percentage may not find trouble with the site's…"

Ross Shaw posted a discussionFB Page admin privacy
Hi,We have 11 admins for our Facebook page, and we all post as the page, which in our case is 'James Cook University'. I'd like to have it so we post as ourselves, but with our privacy set up so we can partition our activity on the page from the rest of our Facebook 'lives'. Any idea on how to do that?thanks,RossSee More
Michelle Sargent replied to Cassie E's discussion Conferences ... which to choose?"Hi Cassie
I haven't been to HigherEdWeb, but attended eduWeb last year. The social media stream was a little disappointing, very basic and not tailored to an intermediate/advanced audience. Though, my colleague who also attended said the mobile…"

Justin replied to Susanne Starck's discussion Google Indoor Maps"Do any of you know if the indoor maps are only available on Android devices, or are they available via the web too? The website seems to communicate that you can only utilize them on Android devices."
Susanne Starck replied to Susanne Starck's discussion Google Indoor Maps"Ask them about the version for first-responders. It would give fire/police access to areas that you don't want the public to see! Our admins have not approved the project yet, I'm still trying...

Susanne Starck replied to Susanne Starck's discussion Google Indoor Maps"This hasn't been approved yet, but we have had several meetings. Google has been great, always making themselves available by phone. They are also working on a version that would allow first-responders to access a secure map, just for them.…"
Justin replied to Susanne Starck's discussion Google Indoor Maps"I was recently contacted by Google as well and am hoping to be able to move forward with them as well, but I'm currently in the process of running that by administration. Sounds like the service could be really useful.
