20+ Tools to Create Your Own Infographics

20+ Tools to Create Your Own Infographics | Resources for DNLE for 21st Century | Scoop.it

A picture is worth a thousand words – based on this, infographics would carry hundreds of thousands of words, yet if you let a reader choose between a full-length 1000-word article and an infographic that needs a few scroll-downs, they’d probably prefer absorbing information straight from the infographic. What’s not to like? Colored charts and illustrations deliver connections better than tables and figures and as users spend time looking back and forth the full infographic, they stay on the site longer. Plus, readers who like what they see are more likely to share visual guides more than articles. While not everyone can make infographics from scratch, there are tools available on the Web that will help you create your very own infographics. In this article, we’re listing more than 20 such options to help you get your messages across to your readers, visually.

Sell, Rent or Offer Video Subs On Your Commercial Video Channel: Pivotshare

Sell, Rent or Offer Video Subs On Your Commercial Video Channel: Pivotshare | Resources for DNLE for 21st Century | Scoop.it
Pivotshare helps media creators and publishers sell their digital video content direct to their audiences, on our platform or your own site.

Via Robin Good
Robin Good's curator insight, May 9, 5:59 AM


Pivotshare is a web service that allows any author or independent publisher to create a professional-looking video venue where to showcase, organize and (optionally) sell access to video and audio content.


Video channels created on Pivotshare will have a personalized URL such as robingood.pivotshare.com, and you can further brand the channel with your selected profile picture or logo and your favorite background.


Video channels can be displayed as "showcases" or "libraries" depending on the quantity of material you have available, can be embedded on any web site and can be easily viewed across all types of screens and devices, from desktop to mobile.


On Pivotshare you can upload directly .MP4, .MOV, .SWF, .FLV, .AVI, and .MP3 files and organize them into discrete collections. You can add names, descriptions, relevant tags as well as decide how you want to make this material accessible.


You can for example let everyone see freely certain content, while at the same time making a "tip jar" facility available and setting your preferred minimum tip level. Or you can decide to set a "monthly subscription price", rather than a "rental" or "purchase" fee.


Check this image to get a better idea: http://o7.no/15Mgscw


It is also possible to invite and collaborate with other authors / publishers contributing all to the same video channel.



Pivotshare is definitely a gret solution for independent authors and publishers, who are looking to start their commercial video channel online with the minimum effort and the maximum of results.


There are no costs involved. Pivotshare keeps a fixed percentage of your incoming revenues (unclear how much exactly).


Free to use.

Apart from the connectivism and networks, knowledge has other dimensions of CONTEXT and COLLABORATION in the new work. It is not the conectivity or network that creates knowledge, but the way people collaborate in a particular context.

Responsive Website Design & Web 3.0 [Infographic]

Responsive Website Design & Web 3.0 [Infographic] | Resources for DNLE for 21st Century | Scoop.it

Won’t it be simpler to have just a single website that could work everywhere? Responsive web design technology does exactly this.

With the gaining popularity of smartphones, More and more websites are accessed via mobile devices. Websites that aren’t optimized for mobile browsing scare away visitors. Responsive web design can be a solution to this problem. 

 

What is Responsive Web Design?

A website that is designed to established standards laid down for responsive web designing will be able to adopt its design and layout to fit the specifications of the device calling it. It does this by dynamically adopting to different screen sizes and by reformatting the positioning and look of the constituent elements of the website.

Responsive & Web 3.0
Put aside the SEO benefits, creating responsive design is beyond important because the future is about having your content look great no matter what type of devices is receiving.

Responsive design also forces a new framework on your content marketing THINKING. Your content marketing begins to get away from the static and more toward the dynamic.

Since the future of web design is dynamic making this move now has many benefits.

Narrated Slideshow – Screencast Tool Comparison | Resources for DNLE for 21st Century | Scoop.it

A screencast is a digital recording of a computer screen with audio narration. Screencasts can include telestrator (‘John Madden pen’) annotations. Narrated slideshows include audio recordings synchronized to images without hand-drawn annotations.

Screencasts and narrated slideshows can be created with two kinds of tools:

1. Browser-based: Create an account on the website and use a modern web browser like Google Chrome or FireFox to record, save and share it.

2. Client-based: Download and install software on a computing device to record and save.
