Need inspiration for UM App - Out in dutch cinemas on April 4

Gizmot

 
It’s generally agreed upon that it’s improper to check one’s smartphone while watching a movie in a theater. The new Dutch thriller APP, however, encourages viewers to do so. The film’s soundtrack contains a digital audio “watermark” – inaudible to human hearing – that causes exclusive supplemental content to appear on smartphones running the APP app.

The film centers around a young psychology student named Anna. The morning after a wild party, she awakens to find an app called IRIS (try spelling that backwards) installed on her phone. The all-knowing IRIS seems pretty helpful at first, but gradually turns nasty, sending compromising text messages, videos and photos to people on Anna’s contacts list. When she tries to rectify the situation, mayhem ensues.

The real-life APP app allows viewers to see the trouble-making messages, etc. on their own phones, as the characters receive them in the movie. It also provides access to additional scenes, and background information regarding what’s currently taking place on screen. The app should also work with DVD and Blu-ray releases of the film.

Martin Paul signs contract with Apple

With Martin Paul signing Apple's contract the future of UM's business model is likely to shift into new heights: The gadget as teaching machine.

For how long can we debate the legal prerequisites involved along the way to free for all, boarder less education? What are the consequences of this for UM's pay-for-education business model? Especially in the light of a steady decrease in state funding and fierce competition from the private sector. Who will produce the audiovisual content and what equipment will be used? How will the workflow look like? Who will be in charge and what are the goals? And how to convince the "true believers" in contributing time and effort to the whole adventure?

All answers to all questions in less than four minutes. Impossible, see yourself:

"I think we have learned enough about this to understand that it will be transformative. It’s going to change the world, and it’s going to change the way we think about education. … It’s going to filter down into high school, too, where we have an even more dramatic problem, considering the shortage of highly qualified high school teachers, particularly in science and math."

Can you guess André's surname?

The Maastricht University School of Business and Economics has released a new promotional video animation, based on the character of André.

André is a bright young mind whose dream it is to explore and understand the rules governing the world of Business and Economics today.

Ideally, he would like to do this in an international setting, together with fellow students from all corners of the globe, and in an active learning environment.

André is looking for a place that will keep playing a meaningful role in his future career and that will continue to help him solve any questions or challenges he might encounter along the way.

Does this learning environment exist?

Well, the answer to that question is obvious, isn’t it?

A tougher question is, can you guess André’s surname?
