Higher education: harness the power of cloudAngela Gardner
In order to retain and recruit
students, higher education
institutions must position themselves
as experts in the learning network
and find more cost-effective ways
to implement IT services. It is time
to take the financial and structural
pressure off of college IT staff by
steering away from the burdensome
cost of maintenance and upgrades,
long lead times for infrastructure
improvements and incompatibilities
between systems and tools.
Moving a system to the cloud can
reduce the cost of ownership by
20 percent. Federal agencies have
already reduced their operating costs
by 30 percent.5 Colleges can expect
to see similar results. The cloud also
allows institutions to pay for what
they use versus building capacities
that are largely unexploited.
Young people tend to acquire a range and variety of skills and competences through processes of non-formal and informal learning. These skills may be developed when they take on certain responsibilities within their own family, when they meet up with friends, or when they get involved in sport, music-making, through involvement in employment or indeed as a result of voluntary or community work...
MOOCs offer opportunities but are also pose the danger of further exacerbating existing educational divisions and deepening the homogeneity of global knowledge systems. Like many universities globally, South African university leaders and those responsible for course, curriculum, and learning technology development are coming to grips with the implications and possibilities of online and open education for their own institutions. What opportunities do they offer to universities, especially from the point of view of research-focused campus-based institutions which have not yet
engaged with MOOCs and have little history with online courses? Given the complexities of the MOOC-scape, this paper provides a means for contextualising the
options within an institutional landscape of educational provision as possibilities for MOOC creation, use and adaptation.

The scope of the WIFI project is not limited to a specific realm of the participants in the university. As part of a five-year strategic plan of the IT deanship, the project aims to create a consistent user experience across the various building of University, including the provision of wireless network access. The access to the network on the go can be a really great endeavor for the information exchange and the information fetch at instances when needed. This last issue became critical in the summer of 2014, when the more number of extra access point of the network are needed, which require civil work and extra time to get ready. This was a very typical scenario in which wiring and cabling was a burden and an overhead for the entire vicinity of the employees including the implementation team and the stakeholders. Moreover there are various issues that are known to everyone regarding the cable LAN and its maintenance. We had already traditionally viewed wired as good enough for everybody, however over the past times the scenario is changing and it is becoming a very drastic problem where the more the expansion of the network is done the more are the chances of the faults in the network and the system designs. Thus it becomes a very needful situation where a solution is to be figured out for the networks and its maintenance.
While technology supplied educators with a lifeboat of sorts during the worst of the pandemic, it didn’t prevent them from being swamped. They were able to connect with students learning remotely, via collaborative platforms like Zoom. They could not, however, fully engage them. The remove was too great, the divide too pronounced.
The lesson? Technology should be part of every educator’s toolbox, but it’s not the entire thing. It’s just one more device, one more means to an end.

USE OF ICT TO ENHANCE THE LEARNING PROCESS IN HIGHER EDUCATIONijejournal
ICTs in Education refers to the development of information and communications technology specifically
for teaching/learning purposes, while the ICTs in education involves the adoption of general components
of information and communication technologies in the teaching learning process. The National Mission on
Education through Information and Communication Technology (NME-ICT), launched in 2009 by the
Central Government. Let’s see how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) evolved the Higher
Education system: The role of ICT in higher education, what students learn, The role of ICT in Higher
Education, how Students Learn, The role of ICT in Higher Education, when students learn, The role of ICT
in higher education, where students learn. Online courses, development of e-content, e-learning, digital
libraries, online encyclopaedias, journals, and books would promote learning and make knowledge
available to all irrespective of the distance or location or financial resources. Government intervention is
necessary so that ICT can be made successful in higher education. Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) has the proven power to change the world. This acronym refers to the merging of audiovisual and telephone networks with the computer single unified system of cabling.

An Analysis on the Application of Information and Communication Technology (I...AJASTJournal
The paper sought to analyse the application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching Health Education students in tertiary institutions in Adamawa State. A survey research design was used for the study. The population for the study comprised of 4 tertiary institutions offering Health Education out of which 2 were sampled. A simple random sampling was used in selecting 150 students from each of the institutions sampled making a total of 300 respondents. Data was collected with the use of questionnaire which was subjected to validity and reliability test. The mean and ANOVA was used in establishing the correlation between the variables in the study. The researcher accepts a result if the average mean is above 2.6 which is on the high side and shows a significant relationship. The researchers also reject a result if the average mean is below 2.5 which is on the low side and shows no significant relationship. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that: institutions and their management should have more ICT training centers on campus, the management of the institutions should urgently make sure ICT facilities are available for students’ use, the students should be given assignments, course project, group work, which will involve sourcing for information from the internet, lecturers should encourage students to organize mini seminars for presentation of assignments through the use of power point among others.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

6. Significance of ICT
Integration of ICT in teaching has very important significance on learning attitude of students, creativity,
knowledge construction, learning environment, teaching strategies, problem solving skills and
understanding concepts using various tools.
Learner has opportunity to keep record of information in electronic version and understand different
concepts on the basis of self- learning.
Different forms of Multimedia channels provide information about content knowledge, understanding of
different concepts, variety of approaches and expertise.
ICT stated that “Technology rich learning environment using e-learning can engage the learner giving them
a sense of empowerment where they are no longer dependent of the specific and often limited knowledge
of their educator.”
It connects our dears with dynamic attention of technology without looking any type of situation.
The Government is arranging/scheduling study material via various platforms.
Most of the ICT tools are SWAYAM, MOOC, E-Pathsala, SWAMPRABHA, e-SHODH SINDHU etc.

ICT is widespread and essential to play a meaningful educational systems as
well as the way of learning
It is part of many aspects of our daily lives and bestow prominence to all
especially pandemic situation (SARS,MERS,EBOLA,H1N1,Covid-19) by
coding, machine learning and artificial intelligence applied robots.
ICT in education can also be broadly categorized in the following way as a
subject, a tool to support traditional subjects and as an administrative tool
ICT is not only has great impact on education but also provided some bad
impact to the educators
TCP PRESENTO 2020, THIAGARAJAR COLLEGE OF PRECEPTORS, MADURAI.
14. Summary
Digital communication technologies play an increasingly prominent role in
humanitarian operations and in response to international pandemics specifically.
A burgeoning body of scholarship on the topic displays high expectations for
such tools to increase the efficiency of pandemic response.
This model of operation distinguishes between the use of digital communication
tools for diagnostic, risk communication and coordination activities how the
influx of novel actors and tendencies towards digital and operational
convergence risks focussing humanitarian action and decision making outside
national authorities spheres of influence in pandemic response.
This risk exacerbates a fundamental tension between the humanitarian promise
of new technologies and the fundamental norm that international humanitarian
response should complement and give primacy to the role of national authorities
when possible.
