Welcome Your presenter: Daniel Dacey www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Programme www.rfidlearningtable.com.au Overview of RFID Example of RFID applied in education Future applications for RFID in education Q&A Session
In the beginning we had bar codes... • Passive visual tags • "symbologies" are used to encode small strings of character data like morse code (spaces and lines) • ‘Dumb’ tags that need a line of site to read them www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Then came 2D barcodes • QR Codes Large world movement, very popular in Japan • Two dimensional, more data storage than 1D bar codes • Still passive and visual • Also requires a line of site to reader www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Whatis RFID? A123TR7Y • Radio Frequency Identification • System for uniquely identifying items and triggering a response www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Whatis RFID? • Usually made up ofRFID ReaderRFID TagsComputer www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Advantages of RFID • Doesn’t require line of site • Can work at long ranges • Can store data • RFID tags come in many sizes and shapes to suit different applications • Durable • Proven technology • Cost effective www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Whatis an RFID Tag? Chip Antenna • Each tag is a tiny radio device • Each tag has a Unique ID • Tags can store data www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Whatis an RFID Tag? Chip Antenna • Passive and Active Tags • Different FrequenciesLow Frequency (LF)High Frequency (HF)Ultra High Frequency (UHF)Microwave www.rfidlearningtable.com.au

Who uses RFID? • Transport & logistics • Security & access control • Supply chain management • Asset management • Medical & pharmaceutical applications • Manufacturing & processing • Agriculture • Arts • And now education www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Who uses RFID in education? www.situatedlearning.net • Used in training workshops so learners can easily access short segments of audio visual information by swiping a card over the RFID reader • Embedded in places of employment as a just in time training tool • Trials in the Hobart Botanical Gardens www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Who uses RFID in education? • Learning Technology Mentors Program • Ten teaching sections engaged in trialling RFID http://ltmentors.riverinainstitute.wikispaces.net/Workshop+20th+&+21st+August+2008 www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Who uses RFID in education? • Adrian Laws - Construction http://ltmentors.riverinainstitute.wikispaces.net/Adrian+Laws www.learningkiosk.com www.rfidlearningtable.com.au

Example of RFID in a Learning environnent www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
“ Things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler… Albert Einstein www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
“A future where learning and discovery is embedded in our surroundings and in objects we are familiar with” Marcus Ragus www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
rfid Learning Table System • RFID Reader • Learning Table Player • Learning Table Editor • RFID Tags www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
rfid Learning Table Editor • Allows simple allocation of media to tags • Media can be: • VideoImagesImages with AudioAudioPowerpoint www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
rfid Learning Table Player • Reads tags and plays back multimedia in any combination required, as many times as the user wants. www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Demonstration www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
How isrfid Learning Table beingused? • Inclusive Learning • Literacy issues • Visual Learners • Just in time learning • Self Directed learning • Workplace training • Art displays • Marketing and promotion www.rfidlearningtable.com.au
Road Ahead www.rfidlearningtable.com.au • rfid Learning Table Sync software with player
Road Ahead www.rfidlearningtable.com.au • Tablet specific version of rfid Learning Table • Slimline RFID enclosure
Road Ahead www.rfidlearningtable.com.au • OH&S Induction software that uses RFID to control power tools and equipment
