PowerPoint can be an effective interactive teaching tool if used properly, but it also has some drawbacks if overused or used passively. When used interactively with activities like questions, games, and focusing exercises, it can help students engage with and process information. However, it tends to oversimplify information if it becomes the sole delivery method with too many bullet points and not enough discussion. The key is to use PowerPoint to supplement other materials and activities, not replace discussion or other learning methods.

aquino_lca

This document discusses motion media and its applications in education. Motion media refers to visual content that appears to be in motion, such as videos, films, and animations. It can communicate information through sight and sound to large audiences simultaneously. When used for education, motion media has several advantages, such as demonstrating processes and skills. It can also help teach problem solving and cultural understanding. However, it also has limitations, like a fixed pace and potential for misinterpretation. When incorporated into instruction, video-based materials can promote student-centered learning if they allow students to interpret content and apply it to new problems. Teachers can still play an important role by facilitating content and ensuring deeper understanding.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots

Pablo Gómez Abajo

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.

So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation. In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.

So You've Lost Quorum: Lessons From Accidental Downtime

ScyllaDB

The best thing about databases is that they always work as intended, and never suffer any downtime. You'll never see a system go offline because of a database outage. In this talk, Bo Ingram -- staff engineer at Discord and author of ScyllaDB in Action --- dives into an outage with one of their ScyllaDB clusters, showing how a stressed ScyllaDB cluster looks and behaves during an incident. You'll learn about how to diagnose issues in your clusters, see how external failure modes manifest in ScyllaDB, and how you can avoid making a fault too big to tolerate.

This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured: -Alex Thornton, LF Energy -Hallie Cramer, Google -Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI -Henry Richardson, WattTime In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms. This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups. Three primary specifications will be discussed: -Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access -Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure -Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
