Vsebina delavnic

Uporaba programa Skype – Pogovor v živo s prijateljico/prijateljem preko interneta ob kavici za domačo mizo,  enostavno in brezplačno

Skype omogoča:
s sogovornikom govorimo kot preko telefona, le da ga tudi vidimo;
v primeru slušne prizadetosti ali nedosegljivosti klicanega omogoča tudi pošiljanje sporočil;
omogoča pogovor med več sogovorniki.

Uporaba je primerna za:
Starejše, ki ne odhajajo več z doma, da s prijatelji lahko ostanejo v stiku.
Starejše, ki imajo prijatelje daleč, pa ne morejo do njih in bi želeli poklepetati z njimi.
Starše, ki imajo otroke daleč stran, pa bi jih želeli videti in govoriti z njimi.
Vse, ki rabijo daljše pogovore, ki so brezplačni in je elektromagnetno sevanje mnogo manjše kot pri telefonu.

Hiter razvoj informacijsko.komunikacijskih tehnologij – IKT posega v javno in zasebno življenje. Vse pogosteje namreč večina naših udejstvovanj, tako poklicnih kot tudi zasebnih, postaja odvisna od informacijsko-tehnoloških rešitev. Poleg tega so se nekatere aktivnosti že v celoti preselile v digitalno obliko oziroma na spletne strani, recimo: komuniciranje prek spletnih strani, spletnih omrežij in elektronske pošte, iskanje informacij, nakupovanje, izobraževanje, urejanje upravnih zadev in podobno. Brez računalniškega znanja starejši ne morejo biti enakovredno vključeni v družbo in se pri uporabi računalnika in dostopu do spleta srečujejo s težavami, ki so največkrat posledica biološkega procesa staranja in spremljajočih bolezni ter zahtevajo določene prilagoditve. Zato v Večgeneracijskem centru Planet generacij izvajamo in širimo računalniška znanja ter uporabo moderne tehnologije med starejšimi. Tako jim omogočamo večje možnosti digitalne komunikacije, enostavnejše dostopanje do zdravstvenih nasvetov, več priložnosti za vseživljenjsko učenje in ustvarjanje novih možnosti za aktivno preživljanje prostega časa. Na delavnici bomo predstavili delovanje Večgeneracijskega centra Planet generacij s poudarkom na vsebinah e-opismenjevanja starejših (npr. konkretno uporaba pametnih telefonov).

Tudi neračunalničarji (npr. biologi) lahko naredimo čudovite svetove navidezne resničnosti!

Izobraževalna programska orodja slovijo kot domena računalniških specializiranih studijev. Vendar moderna tehnologija, če jo dobro poznamo, omogoča tudi navdušenim “amaterjem” vstop v ta svet. Multimedijski proizvodi, še posebno če vključujejo nacidezno resničnost, so ponavadi domena za to specializiranih studijev, kjer pri kreaciji izdelka sodeluje mnogo strokovnjakov. Vendar sem ugotovil, da moderna tehnika omogoča (seveda v določenem obsegu) produkcijo tudi “doma”, kjer izdelek zasnujete in dovršite kar sami. Še več, to ima lahko velike prednosti! Če ste namreč strokovnjak na svojem področju (jaz sem na primer biolog) in se deloma posvetite tudi modernim tehnikam vizualizacije, vam to “odpre oči” in drugače, bolj sveže začnete gledati na rešitve svojih strokovnih problemov. Konec konce prav vi največ veste o problematiki vaše stroke, gotovo več kot računalniški strokovnjak, risar in oblikovalec, ki vam sicer izdelujejo vizualizacijo. Seveda pri resnejših projektih brez timskega dela ne gre. Toda če res dobro ne poznate tehničnih zmožnosti orodij, s katerimi operira vaš team, tudi ne morete dati optimalnih nasvetov za izdelavo produkta. Tudi nove ideje rade obvisijo v zraku, če ne poznamo orodij, s katerimi jih lahko uresničimo. Opiramo se na tisto, kar smo videli na filmu, televiziji ali spletu ter zgoščenkah in avtomatko težimo, da bi se (mogoče celo preveč) oprli na že utrjene tehnologije. Po drugi strani pa tudi studio, kjer naročimo izdelek, rad hodi po že utrjeni poti in toži, da bi nove tehnologije preveč podražile izdelek in zato taka rešitev ne pride v poštev. Torej sploh ni neumno posvetiti nekaj svojega časa učenju novih tehnik, ki povečajo vašo produktivnost in ovežijo vaše razmišljanje podobno kot vam skica, ki jo narišete na papir, olajša reševanje problema, ki ga imate v mislih. Sedanji čas, poln tehničnih pripomočkov, nas vedno bolj sili v vedno novo izobraževanje in računalniška vizualizacije je pač še ena od stvari, ki se jih moramo vsaj malo priučiti. Nova orodja vam pomagajo videti svet in tudi svoje lastne teorije v drugačni luči in vam omogočijo uvid na višjem nivoju. Vstopite v privlačen in ustvarjalen proces, ki vam pokaže nove ideje!

Uporaba sistema Projekt Tomo pri poučevanju starejših programiranje

V zadnjih letih je veliko zanimanja za učenje programskih jezikov tudi med starejšimi odraslimi. Vendar pa primanjkujejo ustrezni viri in tečaji, namenjeni prav njim.

Programiranje je veščina, zato se ga najlažje naučimo tako, da sedimo za računalnikom in pišemo programe. Naloga vodji tečajev je, da učečim se zastavijo veliko nalog in nadzirajo njihove poskuse reševanja teh nalog. Ker pa so dobre in hitre povratne informacije bistvene za hiter napredek in ker jih inštruktorji v večjih skupinah ne morejo zagotoviti vsem, so sistemi za avtomatsko ocenjevanje programskih nalog postali priljubljena izbira pri programskih tečajih.

Na Fakulteti za matematiko in fiziko smo razvili tak sistem, ki se imenuje Project Tomo (https://www.projekt-tomo.si). Je popolnoma odprt in na voljo vsem. Trenutno vsebuje že več kot 1000 različnih programskih vaj, ki jih je mogoče prilagoditi in ponovno uporabiti v novih tečajih.

V tej delavnici bomo pokazali, kako na podlagi obstoječih nalog pripraviti sklop vaj, prilagojenih starejšim odraslim.

Upamo, da se bo z uporabo zmogljivosti Projekta Tomo pojavilo več tečajev, ki bodo na voljo vsem starejšim odraslim, ki se zanimajo za učenje programiranja.

Find out what Skype can do for you
Live, vivid conversation with a friend over the Internet, while drinking coffee at home, easy and free of charge.

Skype provides:
– we speak with the person as if we were on the phone, but we also see her/him;
– in case of hearing impairment or unavailability of the called person, it also sends messages;
– it allows conversation among several persons.

The use is suitable for:
– The elderly, who do not leave home anymore, but wish to stay in touch with their friends.
– The elderly, who have friends far away and cannot reach them physically but would like to chat with them.
– The parents, who have their children far away and would want to see and talk to them.
– Anyone, who needs long lasting and long-distance calls that are free of charge and with smaller electromagnetic radiation then talking by phone.

Authoring Of Educational Visualizations By Educators Themselves – New Tools Make This Possible

Producing multimedia and virtual reality products for the web and offline use is traditionally the task of teams of many experts. On the other hand I discovered that this can be done (in reasonable extend and professional level, of course) also by a single person. Moreover, this can have great benefits. The idea is that the researcher or educator on a specific field, as is in my case the biology, himself discovers the possibilities of modern visualization tools. I think only this way he can optimally implement his ideas into the praxis. Some say: the most important is the idea, than we shall find the technical means to implement it. This is nice, but it has some disadvantages. If you do not know well the tools and techniques, then it is very difficult to imagine something really new. One tends to stick to technology schemes seen in the film or web projects end extends this philosophy to his project. Also communicating with studios dedicated to produce such project leads often to a similar result, namely to use an existing and more or less routine technology to produce a product with as much profit as possible (regarding though the studio’s lens).

So it might be wise to consider why not do dedicate some of your time to learn some techniques which improve your productivity and your way of thinking like a sketch on the paper often gives you clearer ideas about your new scientific theory that you have in mind. I also think that this is somehow our destiny of modern techno times. We had to learn to drive the car, to use computer instead of the typewriter and now slowly to produce rich media outputs instead of the text and image only publications. So I look forward to help you in my workshop to learn to author immersive 3D worlds with freely available software!

Using system Project Tomo in teaching older adults programming

In the last years, there has been quite a lot of interest in learning programming languages also among the older adults. However, there is a lack of suitable resources and appropriate courses.

It is often said that learning to program can only be learnt by doing it; by sitting at the computer and writing programs. Instructors are required to both encourage learners by exposing them to numerous problems and to supervise their attempts to solve the tasks. Since good and swift feedback is vital for quick progress and as instructors cannot provide it to all in larger groups, systems for automatic assessment of programming tasks have become a popular choice in programming courses.

At the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, we developed such a system called Project Tomo. It is completely open and available to all. Now it has over 1000 different programming exercises, which can be modified and reused in new courses.

In this workshop, we will demonstrate how to prepare a set of exercises tailored to older adults, drawing from the already prepared set of exercises.

We hope that with using capabilities of Projekt Tomo more courses targeted to teach older adults basics of programming languages will appear and be available to all older adults interested in learning programming.

Lego boxes for adults

At the workshop, we will learn how smart toys and products can be brought closer to the older generation with the purpose of quality spent the time with their grandchildren or family.

We will learn how code programs work, how we program, and how we can develop a technological toy.

Click into World for the Elderly

The rapid development of information and communication technologies – ICT interferes with public and private life. More and more often, most of our engagement, both professional and private, is becoming dependent on information technology solutions. In addition, some activities are already fully transferred to digital form or to websites, for example: website communication, online e-mail networks, information retrieval, shopping, education, administrative matters and the like. Without computer knowledge, older people cannot be socially integrated. When using the computer and the internet access they encounter problems that are most often the result of the biological aging process and accompanying diseases which require certain adjustments. Therefore, we perform and spread wide ICT knowledge and use modern technology among the elderly in the Intergeneration Centre Planet of generations. This gives them greater opportunities for digital communication, easier access to health advice, more opportunities for lifelong learning. It supports the creation of new opportunities for active leisure time. At the workshop, we will present activities of the Intergeneration Centre Planet of generations, focusing on the content of digital literacy improvement of the elderly (e.g. use of smartphones).

eSupport for Volunteers Providing Home Service for the Elderly

The solution incorporates fast and friendly support for the elderly in a local environment with the following modules: Info Point, Pro-Volunteer, Veronika – Virtual Adviser, and our Feedback Module. It is based on many years of professional experience working in the field and the solution development of the Faculty of Economics and  the Faculty of Information Studies business model.

The workshop is for municipal management, NGO management, content coordinators and senior service providers.

The workshop will present the following content/modules:
– INFO POINT to provide information comprehensively to the elderly and their families.
– PRO-VOLUNTEER Support System to enable the ordering of volunteer home service online or via mobile phone and to keep track of the complete process of service execution for business purposes.
– VERONIKA Virtual Adviser to offer advice, conversation and reply to frequently asked questions (artificial intelligence).
– FEEDBACK Module to gather the users’ feedback.

The solution was developed by ORELI Institute in order to assist municipalities. It has been successfully implemented in the Municipality of Kamnik.
