'Top Challenges We Face In IT Today To Hinder Our Pursuit Of Quality' by Lloy...TEST Huddle
Some people thrive on challenges, while others struggle with how to deal with them. Handled well, challenges can make us stronger in our passion, drive, and determination. Lloyd Roden describes the challenges we face today in software testing and how we can respond in a positive, constructive manner.
One of the challenges Lloyd often sees is identifying and eliminating metrics that lie. While we (hopefully) do not set out to deceive, we must endeavor to employ metrics that have significance, integrity, and operational value. Another challenge test leaders face is providing estimates that have clarity, accuracy, and meaning. Often we omit a vital ingredient when developing test estimates - the quality required in the product.
A third challenge is convincing test managers to actually test regularly to attain credibility and respect with the team they are leading. A further challenge is to see why the use of the term "best practice" can be so damaging.

Answer the following discussion questions1. Comment on the.docxsusanschei
Answer the following discussion questions:
1. Comment on the possibilities of "lying" with or manipulating statistics by using very small, very large, or non-random samples.
2. Do you know of any studies or surveys where you suspect that these tactics have been used? Find an example and share it with the class.
3. If you were opening a new business, what kinds of surveys or studies would you want to conduct before investing your time and money? How would you conduct these studies?
make a substantive reply to the comments of at least two of your classmates. Please respond to the merits of a student's comments.
1-Statistics seem a field where even accidentally through a poorly designed study, draw inappropriate conclusions based on the data gathered. Other times hiding the methodology of the study is tantamount to lying. If the study creators knowingly compile a very small sample or ask only certain people or people in only a certain place and make sweeping claims about the population, then yes that is most certainly a dishonest manipulation of the data.
I don't know of any such surveys personally, but it seems evident especially in an election season all the voluntary call in or text in polls a tv program posits are inherently skewed. Those that watch CNN aren't commonly going to watch Fox News and vice versa so not only is it a voluntary study, it is narrowed to only those watching said program and often will hold considerable bias.
I think for a new business survey I would be looking at the population makeup. Does the area contain the age demographic that would most often buy my product or service? How about median income? I wouldn't open a Rolls Royce dealership in a middle class town etc...Are there other competing businesses in close vicinity? I'm no entrepreneur so I'm not sure what kinds of personal questions would be useful. How someone votes or feels about religion etc are probably not that useful if you want to open something general like a coffee shop or something. Most of the data I would think to consider is demographic information the city/county/state can provide.
2-It is very possible to sway the results of a survey by using a small non-varied group of participants. If you as a researcher are going to theorize the outcome of your study would effect a large population, yet your sample only looks at female college students between the ages of 20-25, then you cannot tangibly apply your results to those outside of that age range or demographic or gender. For example, in the study “Focusing on Self or Others has Different Consequences for Psychological Well-Being: A Longitudinal Study of the Effects of Distinct Interpersonal Goals.” The researchers hypothesized that having self-image goals were predictive of increases in negative feelings (depression, stress, anxiety), and compassionate goals were predictive of decreases in those same negative feelings.
To determine their results, they utilize.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

4. Proficiency testing :
1. the same soil sample is provided to different labs,
2. results are statistically analysed to determine
proficiency (i.e. skills, capability, competence, etc).
18. The soil samples:
GLOSOLAN 2019 own samples
3 soil bags / lab.
3 soil types
3 replicates / soil
Sent to 100 labs in the world
Sample preparation is
a lot of work…
19. We sent the same soil sample to different labs…

95. PT must be organised carefully (homogeneity)
Quality Chart & Z scores:
provide complementary information
They help to detect low performances…
Low performances:
happen even with expensive instruments
==> skilled staff is the most valuable
as a conclusion….
96. In case of low performances:
you need to take corrective actions !!!
