Google SketchUp for Media Architecture CommunicationMichael Vallance
Second year undergraduate students in Japan studied alternative energy sources for the country's future. They conducted a SWOT analysis, researched facts and opinions, compared new ideas to existing energy, gathered feedback, and designed 3D representations using Google SketchUp over six weeks. The students presented their ideas through an app developed for the iPad to provide an interactive experience for viewers. Their projects were assessed based on design, justification, exercises, and exceptional work. An evaluation found that students were very positive about the transmedia approach to developing skills in design, communication, and higher-level cognitive processes.

The document describes a study that developed a framework for designing effective tasks in virtual worlds. Researchers had one group program a LEGO robot to follow a circuit and then teach another group how to do it by communicating through Second Life. Student interactions were video recorded and analyzed using Bloom's Taxonomy to code cognitive processes and knowledge dimensions. The analysis found that conceptual knowledge tasks engaged higher-order cognitive processes over time, and that task design, not just difficulty, impacted learning.

(BIZ306) Migrating Trimble Sketchup 3D Warehouse to AWS | AWS re:Invent 2014Amazon Web Services
Trimble was tasked with moving a newly acquired application, Sketchup 3D Warehouse, to AWS. This session will discuss how, using spot instances, Trimble rendered over 2.5 million images to AWS in large amounts, at a fraction of the cost of physical or virtual options. Trimble will discuss the AWS services used (Amazon EC2, Amazon CloudFront, and others) and the flexibility Trimble achieved by using these services-such as how CloudFront allowed Trimble to operate out of a single region, greatly reducing the complexity of deployment across the world. Finally, Trimble will discuss why AWS was the right choice for running Sketchup 3D Warehouse.

This Cochrane review summarizes evidence on interventions for smoking cessation and reduction in individuals with schizophrenia. The review finds that bupropion is effective for smoking cessation in patients with schizophrenia based on available evidence. No significant deterioration of mental state or increased seizure risk was found from bupropion use. Evidence for bupropion's effect on smoking reduction is inconclusive. The review also found some evidence supporting varenicline for smoking cessation in this population, though the evidence is limited compared to studies of bupropion.
The document discusses using Sketchup software for scale modeling. Some key points:
- Sketchup is a 3D modeling tool that can be used to design scale models and print scale plans. It has drawing tools and allows designing to actual measurements.
- The process involves finding reference materials, creating scale plans in Sketchup, and then building mockups and models using materials like styrene or wood cut to the scale plans.
- Examples are provided of models created in Sketchup, including a railroad station grill, barn, and terminal station. Building a mockup first is recommended to work out complex areas before the final model.
SketchUp is 3D modeling software used for conceptual design. It combines simple tools that streamline 3D design. Key concepts for designing in SketchUp include:
- Drawing accurately using the drawing axes as a reference grid. Models are built using precise dimensions.
- Using inference to draw geometrically related lines, like perpendicular or tangent. Inference assists with drawing accuracy.
- Building models from the ground up by extruding 2D shapes or drawing faces, edges and vertices. Components and groups help organize a model.

iMapLibraries April 2013 Virtual ForumsiMapLibraries
This document provides an overview and agenda for the iMapLibraries project, which aims to help public libraries better serve diverse user populations through geographic mapping and identifying new performance metrics. The project has involved forums and questionnaires to gather input from librarians. It is developing maps of library locations, services, and market areas to identify gaps in access. The goal is to produce recommendations and demonstration projects to help libraries assess how well they are meeting the needs of all community members.
Community college libraries play an important role in the continuum of lifelong learning by bridging the gap between high school and higher education. They provide affordable access to higher education and help acclimate community members to an intellectual environment. Some challenges they face include a perception that libraries are inefficient and replaceable by the internet, as well as poor marketing of their services. Solutions involve greater integration and collaboration between different types of libraries to share resources and promote their value through effective advocacy.

Public libraries in the UK have undergone significant changes in recent years to adapt to the 21st century. A national framework provides funding and standards to help libraries transform their services and focus on books/reading, community spaces, and digital skills. Case studies show how libraries in London Borough of Croydon collaborate with schools and engage diverse community groups like families and immigrants through services like Bookstart, literacy programs, and learning centers. As libraries continue reinventing their roles and staff skills, their goal is to remain vital community places that improve lives through knowledge, advocacy, and support of citizens.
The architects discussed several trends in K-12 library design:
1. Libraries are taking on a more modern, multi-functional feel that is technology-driven and makes use of natural light.
2. Schools are requiring flexible spaces that can accommodate both research and classes, as well as supervision through elements like glass walls.
3. Designs are being affected by a need for multimedia spaces and a "coffee house feel" for high school libraries. Requirements vary between school districts depending on intended usage of the library spaces.

It describes how the futurists group was formed, including inviting representation from different library types and regions, appointing a steering committee, selecting 25 futurists ages 25-35 through an application process, and holding kickoff meetings.

MILI will provide guidance on using new tools and the research process to develop assignments that encourage 21st century skills over simply repeating information. The goals are to help students conduct effective research and evaluate information critically and ethically.
This document discusses library advocacy and who should be responsible for advocating for libraries. It emphasizes that advocacy is important at the federal, state, and local levels to raise awareness of libraries' value and secure necessary funding and support.
