eDoorways Provides International Audience Insight Into "LEARN" Doorway and eC Device, With Emphasis on Collaboration at a Successful Presentation During the ISTEC XVIIth

Newport Beach, CA (Vocus) October 30, 2009

eDoorways Corporation (Pinksheets:EDWY – News) discussed the “LEARN” doorway and demoed its eC Device as part of the Company’s presentation at the Ibero-American Science and Technology Education Center’s (ISTEC) XVIIth Annual General Assembly on the Campus of the University of New Mexico (UNM) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. The presentation on Tuesday, October 27th, was so popular that the 200 people in attendance from various parts of Latin America, Spain, Portugal and the US requested a second demonstration on Wednesday, October 28th.

The theme of this year’s General Assembly is “Using Technology to Enable Collaboration, and Collaboration to Advance Science and Technology.” Speaking to this theme was the Founder and Executive Vice President of ISTEC, Dr. Ramiro Jordan. Also speaking was Dr. David J. Schmidly (President of UNM), Martin J. Chavez (Albuquerque, NM Mayor) and Dr. Mauro Miskulin (ISTEC President), amongst other esteemed educational, political and corporate guests. Invited to introduce eDoorways was the company’s lead consultant Ajene Watson, Managing Member of Ajene Watson LLC, a private lending and financial business development and management firm which has been working closely with the company.

In his introduction, Watson said, “The essence of technology is firmly rooted in the soil of education. From a rich earth of knowledge, anyone can become empowered. However, one empowered man can do very little all by himself. Collaboration must occur – and only from exhaustive and truly objective collaboration can we actually continue to positively advance as a society.”

Gary Kimmons, CEO of eDoorways, then spoke about the overall progress of eDoorways and why it is eDoorways is the perfect partner to collaborate with ISTEC. He said, “The purpose of eDoorways is to make the connection between teacher and student, customer and vendor — between any group of individuals who need ‘real-time’ contact to achieve a common purpose. If you think about it, that’s really everyone.”

Dr. Jack Crosscope, the developer of the highly praised SmartOne technology, followed Mr. Kimmons, giving a oral and written presentation, taking the audience though the possibilities of using the “LEARN” doorway to create courses in a collaborative effort, teaching through the learning technology, and the ease in learning as students.

Lastly, Ian Mitchell demonstrated the eC Device through a video that eDoorways shot, with the focus again on collaboration. The video, produced in Spanish by up and coming film producer Marton Varo, Jr., depicted Person A in one country attempting to dig a well, and he runs into a problem. From an iPhone, Person A presses his eDoorways App and searches for someone to assist him in “real-time” through the eDoorways platform. Another eDoorways user, Person B who is pinged, returns the ping connecting him directly to Person A. Person B then offers to help the individual dig the well at that exact moment in time.

Mr. Mitchell explained, “Person A, who is wearing the eC Device is able to show Person B exactly what they are seeing and doing in ‘real-time.’ Person B is then able to provide relevant instruction to Person A. Person B is also able to port over a video (viewed either on the iPhone or though the eC Device’s eye piece) of a well that had been built by another group previously, thus giving Person A an even clearer understanding of what is required to accomplish the goal of digging the well.”

Dozens of people, some who spoke little English but armed with translators, surrounded Dr. Crosscope and Mr. Mitchell for their specific disciplines. People close to the company who attended the event believe the general excitement causing the audience to congregate around eDoorways was due to the understanding of what the combination of LEARN, the eC Device and the general platform of eDoorways could mean for education, business, medicine and law enforcement, both domestically and internationally.

Dr. Ramiro Jordan stated, “The overall presentation was a great success. eDoorways became the belle of the ball with its presentation. This is why we requested that eDoorways repeat their demonstration on Wednesday. It was equally well-received, helping to create potential partnerships for deployment of the environment in various academic institutions. I anticipate that a significant partnership between ISTEC and eDoorways is brewing and may possibly take off quickly.”

Sources close to the company suggest that a marriage between the two groups would not only prove invaluable to the work of ISTEC members, but will instantly link eDoorways to a market of well over 18 million online users.

eDoorways will be attending ISTEC’s Advisory Board Meeting today.

Web Standards and Mobile Device Web Viewing Get a Facelift with New Responsive Web Development

(PRWEB) July 31, 2012

Always comfortable blazing their own trail, Spark Logix Studios, a Minneapolis based inbound marketing company, is leading the web industry with their adoption of responsive web design. This practice not only changes the way they build and code a site, but makes it possible for consumers to properly view a site no matter what internet device is used for display.

Responsive web design (RWD) evolved out of the need to streamline the design process and create web pages that adapt to the medium on which they are viewed. Before RWD, designers were faced with the laborious task of coding one site multiple times to accommodate today’s various internet ready devices (desktops, smartphones, tablets, etc.) and their assortment of browsers, screen sizes, resolutions, and orientations. Alternatively, designers using RWD only code one site that is flexible and able to render appropriately no matter its environment.

RWD works by using Cascading Style Sheets 3 media queries. Essentially, the media queries ask certain questions about a device, such as its size or orientation (portrait or landscape), and modifies the site for the optimal viewing experience before loading it on the screen, which occurs instantaneously. Additionally, RWD uses fluid, proportion-based grids in its layouts as opposed to traditional grids with fixed widths, heights, and gutter sizes. These fluid grids rely on percentages of the maximum available space, so they can contract or expand based on the size of the screen. RWD is even intelligent enough to resize images, introduce new or alternate layouts, and selectively show or hide elements on a page.

Proponents of responsive web design, such as Spark Logix Studios, feel it is the best way to handle the bombardment of internet devices hitting the market. Rob Benson, Spark Logix Studios’ Creative Director and WordPress Web Designer, explains, “It’s impractical to tailor a different website for every new and forthcoming gadget — with such an approach, designers are always playing catch-up. By using responsive web design, we provide our clients with future-friendly websites that naturally display properly no matter what device they are viewed on.”

Members of Spark Logix Studios feel responsive web design allows them to offer other benefits to their clients as well, including efficiency and positive experiences for the growing number of mobile users. “Instead of spending extra time and money managing multiple versions of the same material, we use responsive web design to integrate static and mobile web design in one, which enables us to give our customers a singular site that works on all devices,” said Benson. “Also, responsive web design puts our clients in the valuable position to connect with the growing mobile audience who expect websites to respond intuitively to their devices,” he continued.

Although many web designers are still using traditional methods for website creation, there is a budding movement for responsive web design and Spark Logix Studios is one of the innovative companies in Minnesota and throughout the world leading the way. As the number of differing internet devices continues to rise, the demand for uniformity in the areas of design and coding is bound to increase and RWD as used by Spark Logix Studios may be the simplest solution, which offers standardization for designers and a positive experience for consumers.

LifeCubby Online Portfolio Offers Full Access to Features for All Users, Regardless of Device

Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) December 19, 2012

LifeCubby.me, (http://www.lifecubby.me) an online portfolio for childrens pictures, videos, school papers and more, announced this week it will retire its mobile apps in favor of making its full website completely accessible on any device.

The LifeCubby website allows parents and day care providers to easily upload and tag memorable images of children for storage orin the case of child care providersto create instant notifications to parents about everything from a cute utterance to an urgent snow day announcement.

The company, founded by child care CEO Susan Testaguzza, had previously created apps to allow smartphone and tablet users to use LifeCubby on their mobile devices. After observing user behavior and comparing the features available in the apps to the usability of the LifeCubby website, the company decided to retire its apps in favor of a website created in responsive design. Responsive design means that the website displays itself in full on any device, but the shape of the display and the layout of the menus automatically changes based on the size and dimensions of the users device.

“The app we released last year allowed users to upload a single photo and tag developmental categories, said Testaguzza, of Columbus, Ohio. However, it offered limited functionality compared to all the robust features available on our site. We found our users were preferring to go straight to the web from their mobile devices, anyway.”

Now, thanks to responsive design, users accessing the website from mobile devices will have a more elegant interface. And users who enjoy easy access to the site by clicking the LifeCubby icon on their phone or tablet can use their devices standard feature that turns any webpage into a button or icon. (Instructions for the iPad are here: http://lifecubbyforparents.wordpress.com/2012/12/14/put-the-lifecubby-icon-on-your-ipad-or-iphone-homescreen/) The site will also display beautifully on Windows 8 devices. Existing iOS and Droid apps will be retired Dec. 31, 2012.

As a site for documenting a child’s childhood and developmental milestones, LifeCubby stands out among a handful of competitors by offering tools and security tailored for day care providers. Child care programs in the United States and abroad (Australia, Singapore, Canada, Pakistan, etc.) are using LifeCubby for sharing class photos, videos, documentation, newsletters and assessments with parents.

For teachers, LifeCubby is a huge saver of both cost and time, said Testaguzza, who has owned child care centers for 20 years. We estimate that the average child care program spends approximately $ 3,600 per year on assessments and paper portfolios, she continued. Not only does LifeCubby cost less than that, but with auto uploading to cloud storage, it also saves time. Plus it gives the parents the content electronically, which is what they want anyway, Testaguzza stated.
