Definitions

I spent over an hour on Tuesday May 22nd looking up what a mashup is. It has been hard to find an exact definition for a mashup. Most websites describe it as a mixture of any type of information, but most say there is no exact definition for a mashup. Wekipedia describes a mashup as the combination of information from any open API. This can include mashups of software, videos, or music. I have navigated through many websites and hope to learn more before I actually create one.

Researching mashups

This blog has been started to record our progress on creating mashups for educational use in the Weber State University Dental Hygiene program. We would like to use mashups to present material in a way that would be interesting and memorable. We think they could be a great learning aid that is different from techniques that are used now. This project is beginning from scratch with no previous knowledge of mashups. It will be fun to dig in and see what we come up with. Our goal is to have an abstract to present by August 2007 to the American Dental Education Association (ADEA).
