media type="custom" key="6896137" The data above is the showing two data which are the number of semesters students are here for at IMI and also the amount they spent for travel during the course of their study here at IMI. It visualizes that most students are willing to travel around Switzerland throughout the course of their studies during breaks or weekends. This is the case since Switzerland is fairly easy and well connected to travel around and does not take a very long time to reach from one canton to another. As most of the students that spend the most are those that have been here for around 4 to 5 semesters, that is to be expected as they have been here longer compared to those that are here for 1 semester. The chart also does show that even those who are here for 1 semester have taken the opportunity and spent on traveling in Switzerland already. There is a potential in flow of tourism income from students, as they do travel around visiting Switzerland and the chart shows that students are some what a big spending group during and also after their completion of their studies, as one survey question shows that many students will return after their studies to Luzern.
 * This is the data visualization work that was required for us to make for our survey. Using Google Document Spreadsheet and using Motion Chart to create this. Not sure how to use effectively so firstly have to change the colour to No. of Semesters, Size to No. of Semesters for a clearer view.**

My LT idea is to portray the various unique and international festivals that happens here at Luzern, and it could be a promotional tool for IMI to promote to students who wants to experience such events here. Example below is the;

 Blue Balls Festival 10, which happens from July 23 - July 31.

 Currently to create an internet presence, there are two local blogging sites which I am looking into which are  mBlog.my and also blog1Malaysia. I am still testing these sites and new content will be uploaded when I have finished playing around with them.

 31/07/10
Keywords : Festivals in Luzern, International Festivals IMI, Unique Festivals IMI Luzern, Switzerland Festivals, IMI University Centre

 Summary :  My LT idea will basically use the idea of international and unique festivals held here in Lucerne, as an attraction to students to come to IMI and study, while experiencing the festivals that are held in Lucerne. The Blue Balls Festivals is the kind of example which will be used, and it is an international event, with many booths from all over the world coming to the festivals and promoting and selling their products at the festivals. It is a truly international event and will be a benefit to the students that come to IMI majoring in Hospitality, Tourism and Events.

Here are the application that I find will be useful;

 1. Flickr - useful to upload pictures and share the festivals pictures

 2. Slideshare - can be used to create a powerpoint presentation of the festivals as well as description of these festivals in Luzern

 3. Viralvideo - a place where videos can be uploaded, if any is available

 4. Eventzi - looks like a cool site where I can upload event details and also share photos at the same time.

Corresponded with Mr Ritzel and he asked what was my focus and to find 3 new applications to the list.

Could not find a local blog place for hosting my blog. The sites are either not working or very slow. So decided to create one in blogspot.

1. Tried out the Wibbitz application and sign up for it, however they are currently running closed beta so I will not be able to use it.Will now try out [|Tracking Shot] it is something similar to what I wanted.

2. Uploaded pictures on to PhotoSnack.

Changed from using PhotoSnack to SlideRoll as it provides tagging for the slideshows.

Inserted a page for Zurich Street Parade as it is also something that can attract the interest of students to IMI, and is only one hour away from Lucerne. Used an animoto with pictures to illustrate the atmosphere of such an event.

**22/09/10**
Embedded a music player to the page Blue Balls Festival, just to illustrated the kind of music and artists that perform at the festival. The embedded player is taken from aimini.net and the music is the same music used in the Blue Balls Festival website.

Added a Flickr photostream of the Cheese Festival that was held during the weekend. Used it to promote the IMI Cocolino event at the festival. Made an animoto on the IMI & Cocolino event during the Cheese festival. Uploaded to Youtube. Link [|Cheese Festival - IMI & Cocolino]

**23/09/10**
Added a prezi to wrap up the IMI experience on international festivals. Inserted and made animotos to put into the prezi.
