Day 3

Today we Scheduled times of people we were aiming to interview. We managed to ask a few a few people in various departments whether or not they would be able to answer a few questions on film about their chosen course. With a list in hand we set off to book the equipment for the subsequent day.

WAP and GSM Protocols

WAP: Wireless Application Protocol
GSM: Global Systems for Mobile Communications

The WAP Protocol is commonly used in standard cell phones purely because it can deliver basic Internet information quickly and effectively over the slow transfer speed that these such devices use. It is commanly used for basic e-mails and websites that support WAP. Later, this information was converted to the new format of WML (Wireless Markup Language).

Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) Protocol is the standard for mobile communications method used today with over 80% of the global mobile market using it. The main benefits of GSM is that it allows the feature of being able to globaly call and emergancy number(112). Also the GSM service implements a low cost SMS with benefits the mass population as nearly 8 Billion texts are sent a day, globally.

Day 2

This evening after college I finished off designing two of the models in 3D; the Learning Gateway and the Media Block. After completion I uploaded them directly to the Google 3D warehouse for future use in out project.

Forum Discussion

I created a forum discussing weather people prefer PC's or Mac's - Weymouth College Moodle - I also commented on many other disccusion forums.

W3C Consideration

Considering the vast amount of disabled people that use the internet it is only fair that i take in and consider that fact that i could make my blog a little bit more suitable. By learning what W3C does to help disabled people it has given me and insight on how i can adapt my blog for the greater use that a larger percentage of people can use and read my blog. Small things that i could do to improve my blog for the disabled could be as simple as increasing the font size. Many concepts such as voice annotation could be intergrated within my blog. With perserveirence; everyone will have access to the internet.

College Building Photographs

 
 

Today we started to take photos of the exterior of the college buildings so that i could apply them to the 3D models that i am making in a CAD software.

Day 1

Today, Josh; Zoe; Sophie and myself sat in the Student Lounge and discussed the plan for our project. We decided that the first thing on our engender was to record the interviews, the plan was to split up into pairs so that we could record far more in a shorter time. We also discussed what each person will be doing throughout the assignment.
