OneSpring Releases Rapid
Prototyping Kit for the Apple iPad
March 31, 2010 -- OneSpring (http://www.onespring.net/)®, the
world's first Requirements Agency™, today announced the immediate
availability of an updated version of
|
the world's only visualization templates for Apple-branded
mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. OneSpring
has pioneered combining the best practices in business analysis,
user experience and visualization to provide a highly effective
way to define software projects from mainframes to web sites to
mobile application.
The iPhone & iPad SimDK™ for iRise (http://www.irise.com/)
gives business analysts and user experience professionals a way
to quickly prototype the look, feel and behavior of iPad applications,
including screen transitions, typing, sliding, etc., before any
code is written. This approach clarifies requirements, saves time
during product ideation, and speeds up delivery of applications.
First created in 2008 to support the OneSpring Mobile Applications
Definition Services, the iPhone & iPad SimDK for iRise has been
used to help define a wide range of native iPhone apps for OneSpring
clients in many industries, including finance, automotive, medical,
employment and education. The toolkit provides comprehensive support
for the design of custom mobile applications on the iRise enterprise
visualization platform that empowers developers and stakeholders
to see, interact with, and fully experience applications before
any development.
"The iPhone & iPad SimDK for iRise was built using visual
elements and artifacts directly from Apple's SDK", said Robert
Grashuis, Chief Visualization Officer for OneSpring. "This
enables business analysts and user experience designers who do not
typically have access to Apple's SDK to visualize mobile applications
early in the process."

One Call Now Is First
Message Notification Service To Release iPhone App:
|
| TROY, OHIO (Vocus) March 31, 2010 -- One
Call Now, a leading provider of automated messaging and emergency
notification services, is releasing an application this week
designed to give their customers the ability to record and
distribute automated group messages directly from their Apple®
iPhone™.
The application, or “app” as they are commonly
known, is designed to give the user a fast and easy way to
distribute a recorded message to a group. Users can record
their own voice message, or enter text that is converted to
speech prior to distribution. Upon approving their message,
the user can then send it to their entire membership group
or any of the Subgroups that constitute the whole. Delivery
data is made available through the reporting component of
the application, providing details in a concise format. In
addition, all recorded messages are saved for future reuse.
Both established clients and new customers can use the application;
use requires a free trial or paid subscription calling plan,
available online at www.onecallnow.com or by calling 877-698-3262.
Users can also use the One Call Now App on the iPod™
Touch, which requires a Wi-Fi connection and microphone. Both
primary account holders (Group Leaders) and those they designate
as “Messengers” can record and send messages.
`“Our tens of thousands of clients obviously use our
technology to communicate; and many have told us they are
early adopters of the latest technology,” says CEO Leib
Lurie. “That’s why we are pleased to be the first
notification firm in the industry to allow clients to use
an iPhone to initiate and send messages in an easy, intuitive
and simple way with our FREE iPhone app. Using the iPhone
microphone to record a message, or its keyboard to send a
text-to-speech message, allows anyone to launch a notification
blast to ten or ten thousand people in seconds.”

SR Education Group Announces
Launch of New $2000 Community College Scholarship
(PRWEB) March 23, 2010 -- SR Education Group has released a new
needs-based scholarship aimed at community college students. The
scholarship amounts to $2,000, and will be awarded in full every
four months, benefiting three students
|
each year. Most scholarships
target college students rather than community college students,
so this scholarship will allow the company to help individuals who
are rarely sought out as financial aid recipients.
The SR Education Group Community College Scholarship, which is
now accepting applications, is open to all full-time students enrolled
in an accredited community college through the 2010 school year.
The application process involves completing two thought-provoking
essay questions, and finalists will be selected based on the compelling,
persuasive quality of their writing. Finalists must also submit
a copy of their FAFSA to ensure that they meet the needs-based criterion
of the scholarship.
Lindsay Toraason, the scholarship coordinator, explains the rationale
of the application process. “The scholarship follows a very
open-ended and personal format, so that I can gain a more complete
understanding of the student, and award our scholarship to a person
who would really benefit from the additional funds.”
Community colleges are for many Americans the most feasible way
to continue an education past high school. SR Education Group, an
online provider of higher education information, is serious about
helping students find and fund great educational opportunities,
and this community college scholarship is a further way to help.
“Any student, regardless of his/her major, is eligible to
apply,” says Toraason. “I have tried to make this scholarship
available to as many students as possible because I know that college
tuition can be a barrier for people who want to pursue an education.”
Further details about the scholarship and the application forms
can be found at http://www.guidetoonlineschools.com/scholarships/community-college-scholarship.
The deadline for applications is 05/22/2010 at 10 a.m. PT, and the
winner will be announced – and featured on the website –
approximately two weeks after that.
SR Education Group released its first scholarship last year, which
is awarded, in full, every three months. This is a merit-based study-abroad
scholarship amounting to $2,000, and is open to all college students
enrolled in study-abroad programs. The application process aims
to reward students for their creativity and analytical thinking,
with open-ended questions such as “There are currently seven
wonders of the world. Nominate an eighth wonder and explain why
you chose it.” The winner of the 2009-2010 award is featured
on the website at http://www.guidetoonlineschools.com/scholarships/study-abroad-scholarship.
In addition to offering these two scholarships, SR Education Group
is working to build web content and raise funds and awareness for
the non-profit Seattle Education Access , which provides higher
education advocacy and opportunities for people struggling with
poverty and adversity in the Seattle area. SR Education Group shares
their belief that education is empowering, and that it should be
a transparent and viable option, available to as many students as
possible.
