The document discusses using learning analytics to support just-in-time teaching through a system called classON. classON provides personalized monitoring of students, awareness of student progress and questions for teachers, and analytics to help teachers more efficiently answer questions and ensure student understanding. An experiment found that classON helped reduce waiting times for student questions to be answered and increased the number of questions solved compared to traditional teaching methods without analytics support. The results validated that classON fulfilled requirements to help both teachers and students make the most of learning sessions with limited resources.
This document outlines a research proposal examining the use of applied learning principles in a teacher education course. The researcher will design the course using draft principles of applied learning over three iterations from 2013-2014. Data will be collected from students and staff through surveys, interviews, and focus groups to evaluate how the applied learning tasks engage students and how they respond to the redesigned course. The goal is to inform the design of other applied learning courses.
Sarah Aitken - Presenting Eaquals: Preparing for a successful Eaquals inspectioneaquals
Eaquals is an international non-profit organization that provides accreditation and quality assurance for language education programs. During an Eaquals accreditation inspection, inspectors will review documents prior to their visit, observe teaching, hold meetings with staff and students, check accommodation if applicable, and provide feedback and recommendations rather than final results on the last day. Eaquals evaluates language schools based on 12 quality standards including course design, teaching, resources, and student services. Effective course design involves defining the school's educational philosophy, setting clear learning objectives linked to the CEFR for each level, and creating documents for teachers and students to ensure coherent planning from global to lesson levels.
Dr. Noncedo Khewhu gave a presentation to Central University of Technology on research aid in teaching practice. The presentation discussed the background legislations on teacher practice, including the Norms and Standards for Educators from 2000 and the Minimum Requirements for Teacher Education Qualifications from 2011. The role of research in relation to teacher practice was also examined, noting that research can provide a solid foundation for teaching, keep teachers up to date, and be rewarding and engaging for professional development.
Monica Poulter: Teacher expertise what is it and how can it be developedeaquals
The document discusses teacher expertise and how it can be developed. It describes the characteristics of expert teachers, such as highly structured knowledge and the ability to problem solve efficiently. Expert teachers know how to structure their content knowledge and can recognize patterns in the classroom. They are selective in what they pay attention to and have better improvisational skills. The document also examines the implications for professional development, noting that frameworks alone don't capture expert teaching and that teachers need to engage in reflection and deliberate practice to improve, such as getting feedback and observing other teachers. Both self-directed learning and managed training can help teachers develop their expertise.
This document discusses inquiry-based learning and science education. It defines inquiry-based learning as a student-directed approach where students investigate problems, explore sources of information, and increase their understanding. Inquiry-based science education focuses on student-constructed learning over teacher instruction. It allows students to develop skills like interpreting data, providing explanations, collaborating, and applying learning to real contexts. The document also examines types of inquiry activities, skills needed for the 21st century like critical thinking and collaboration, and how to evaluate inquiry activities based on developing skills and processes.

Learning Just in Time: Project Based Learning at SAE AustraliaLearningandTeaching
This document discusses the implementation and results of project-based learning (PBL) at SAE Australia. Some key points:
1) SAE introduced new PBL-focused programs in 2013 which included "Studio" modules. This led to fail rates nearly halving and retention increasing from 25.8% to 54%.
2) PBL requires the right people and faculty training to ensure projects are properly structured and students learn time management.
3) Both students and faculty need support to adjust to PBL's less structured approach, as students expect direct teaching and faculty roles change. Starting PBL earlier and promoting reflection can help with this transition.

This document defines and explains the process of action research. It states that action research is a process where teachers study their own instructional practices and student learning in order to improve. The process involves identifying a classroom problem, developing a plan to address it, collecting and analyzing data, and making instructional decisions and sharing results. It then outlines the phases of action research in more detail, including identifying problems, developing a research plan, collecting and analyzing data from multiple sources, and drawing conclusions to continue improving teaching practices.
The document discusses two types of assessments: performance-based assessment and observation-based assessment. Performance-based assessment measures students' ability to apply skills and knowledge through tasks requiring higher-order thinking. Observation-based assessment involves teachers directly observing students to document the learning process. The purpose of both is to evaluate student learning beyond traditional tests. Tools for assessment mentioned include portfolios, performances, projects, presentations, and debates.
Learning analytics involves analyzing educational data to understand students and improve teaching and learning. It can be performed at different scales from individual courses to institutions. Examples include using VLE data to track online discussion or predict student needs, and MOOC data to inform course design. Learning analytics can benefit students by personalizing support, teachers by informing instruction, and institutions by improving programs. Challenges include integrating diverse data sources and sharing insights appropriately.
This document provides an agenda and background information for a virtual meeting as part of the TOWN 2013 Phase 2 numeracy initiative. The meeting will focus on continuous assessment, feedback strategies, and planning for sustainability of the program. Teachers are asked to complete tasks between meetings, including assessing students during a lesson, providing feedback on the lesson and assessment, and continuing to update student progress records. The next meeting will be on November 4th to discuss feedback from continuous assessments, implementing self-feedback activities, and completing tracking sheets and assessments for the program.
Action research is a form of investigation designed for teachers to solve problems and improve practices in their own classrooms. It involves a cyclical process of identifying issues, developing and implementing plans to address them, collecting and analyzing data, and sharing results. The goal is to better understand teaching and learning processes from the perspectives of all stakeholders to find practical solutions that improve outcomes for students.

This innovative blend of technology aims to enhance cybersecurity measures and protect users from potential threats hidden within QR codes 🖥 🔒
This study was my first introduction to using ML which has shown me the immense potential of ML in creating more secure digital environments!
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
TrustArc Webinar - Your Guide for Smooth Cross-Border Data Transfers and Glob...TrustArc
Global data transfers can be tricky due to different regulations and individual protections in each country. Sharing data with vendors has become such a normal part of business operations that some may not even realize they’re conducting a cross-border data transfer!
The Global CBPR Forum launched the new Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules framework in May 2024 to ensure that privacy compliance and regulatory differences across participating jurisdictions do not block a business's ability to deliver its products and services worldwide.
To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders.
This webinar will review:
- What is a data transfer and its related risks
- How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks
- How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally
- Globally what are the cross-border data transfer regulations and guidelines
An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.
So You've Lost Quorum: Lessons From Accidental DowntimeScyllaDB
