E-learning has become essential for university students and the IT industry. While universities focus on predefined coursework, this does not fully prepare students for the fast-changing needs of industry. Only 25% of graduates are directly employable, showing a gap between university learning and workplace skills. Companies provide online courses through platforms like Coursera and Simplilearn to help students gain industry-relevant skills and ease their transition from universities to jobs. Universities could better bridge this gap by focusing more on real-world problems in their e-learning systems.
COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the educational institutions in Australia and New Zealand, thus online learning was a significant option for education to be smoothly continued. This could possibly enhance the Computer-based exams (CBEs) to be used in various courses, such as schools, universities and other training centres. As there are many educational institutions which have chosen to convert from paper test system to computer- based exam. However, adopting computer tests may lead to some difficulties for the students, which relates to technical defects and lake of computer skills of some students when they are applying the computer based exams. The purpose of the paper was to discuss online learning during Covid19 and the possibility of adopting (CBEs), then to determine negative and positive effects on the students of using computer-based exams and focus on some of suggesting solutions to the negative effects. Computer test which could cause negative effects on students due to various levels of skills to use a computer and some technical problems was examined. The design of the computer examination system requires careful planning and study from several aspects before becoming officially accepted, the computer-based exams still have a few problems which may lead to difficulties in using computer exams. Then the many benefits which could be gained by using computer-based exams, such as the student will be more independent with computer test were described. In addition, the students have access to the exams through the internet network. Finally, the effectiveness of certain strategy to solve the negative effects of computer-based exams were argued. Developing the solutions of the technical problems are required for computer test, where improving the input methods questions and corrections. It was resulted that online learning has considered as a better option during COVID-19 pandemic, and the computer exam, with adjustments, is more suitable for students.

E-LOOX, A HYBRID LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMijseajournal
E-loox is an educational software application that has been designed specifically for students located in areas with limited Internet access. Unlike the majority of existing educational applications, E-loox is a “hybrid app”– meaning it can function both on and offline. As a hybrid app, E-loox allows students to complete assignments, access course materials, and conduct research in places where there is no Internet access. While global Internet access has expanded rapidly in the last decade, there are still more than 3.5 billion people who lack access, including approximately 60 million people in the United States. E-loox seeks to bridge the gap for the millions of students who have internet in the classroom but lack a home connection.

Genetic Algorithms and Programming - An Evolutionary Methodologyacijjournal
Genetic programming (GP) is an automated method for creating a working computer program from a high-level problem statement of a problem. Genetic programming starts from a high-level statement of “what needs to be done” and automatically creates a computer program to solve the problem. In artificial intelligence, genetic programming (GP) is an evolutionary algorithm-based methodology inspired by biological evolution to find computer programs that perform a user defined task. It is a specialization of genetic algorithms (GA) where each individual is a computer program. It is a machine learning technique used to optimize a population of computer programs according to a fitness span determined by a program's ability to perform a given computational task. This paper presents a idea of the various principles of genetic programming which includes, relative effectiveness of mutation, crossover, breeding computer programs and fitness test in genetic programming. The literature of traditional genetic algorithms contains related studies, but through GP, it saves time by freeing the human from having to design complex algorithms. Not only designing the algorithms but creating ones that give optimal solutions than traditional counterparts in noteworthy ways.
Data Transformation Technique for Protecting Private Information in Privacy P...acijjournal
Data mining is the process of extracting patterns from data. Data mining is seen as an increasingly important tool by modern business to transform data into an informational advantage. Data
Mining can be utilized in any organization that needs to find patterns or relationships in their data. A group of techniques that find relationships that have not previously been discovered. In many situations, the extracted patterns are highly private and it should not be disclosed. In order to maintain the secrecy of data,
there is in need of several techniques and algorithms for modifying the original data in order to limit the extraction of confidential patterns. There have been two types of privacy in data mining. The first type of privacy is that the data is altered so that the mining result will preserve certain privacy. The second type of privacy is that the data is manipulated so that the mining result is not affected or minimally affected. The aim of privacy preserving data mining researchers is to develop data mining techniques that could be
applied on data bases without violating the privacy of individuals. Many techniques for privacy preserving data mining have come up over the last decade. Some of them are statistical, cryptographic, randomization methods, k-anonymity model, l-diversity and etc. In this work, we propose a new perturbative masking technique known as data transformation technique can be used for protecting the sensitive information. An
experimental result shows that the proposed technique gives the better result compared with the existing technique.

DETECTION OF FORGERY AND FABRICATION IN PASSPORTS AND VISAS USING CRYPTOGRAPH...acijjournal
In this paper, we present a novel solution to detect forgery and fabrication in passports and visas using
cryptography and QR codes. The solution requires that the passport and visa issuing authorities obtain a
cryptographic key pair and publish their public key on their website. Further they are required to encrypt
the passport or visa information with their private key, encode the ciphertext in a QR code and print it on
the passport or visa they issue to the applicant.
The issuing authorities are also required to create a mobile or desktop QR code scanning app and place it
for download on their website or Google Play Store and iPhone App Store. Any individual or immigration
authority that needs to check the passport or visa for forgery and fabrication can scan its QR code, which
will decrypt the ciphertext encoded in the QR code using the public key stored in the app memory and
displays the passport or visa information on the app screen. The details on the app screen can be
compared with the actual details printed on the passport or visa. Any mismatch between the two is a clear
indication of forgery or fabrication.
Discussed the need for a universal desktop and mobile app that can be used by immigration authorities and
consulates all over the world to enable fast checking of passports and visas at ports of entry for forgery
and fabrication.

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

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.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

A TOUR OF THE STUDENT’S E-LEARNING PUDDLE

Department of Information Technology, SRM University, Chennai, India
ABSTRACT
E-learning has revolutionized our realm in more than just a listable number of ways. But it took a
paradigm shift when it entered the threshold of the varsity system. With the prevailing spoon-feeding era,
are the students really industry ready? We answer that by confirming afact: web-based learning has
become the oxygen of freshers in the IT Industry instead of the traditionallearning done through
graduation. Furthermore, are university enforced e-learning assessment systems a true representation of a
student's proficiency? This paper is a peep into what web-based e-learning systems are to a student of
today's world, by giving an overview of university-level e-learning in India deploying an example from
SRM University's organizational framework. It assesses a key e-learning trend, the implementation of
which bridges the gap between universities and the industry. It is proposed to provide constructive
feedback to the e-learning community and shine some light on areas of scope for future developments.

1. INTRODUCTION
We see trends move toward a NO-PAPER system in education today. But what is the reality?
Ranging from high schools' e-labs, to finding it’s traces in fully developed experts' CVs as
nanodegrees, e-learning has found its way in, everywhere including in India with an estimated $3
billion market. With the rapidly changing definition of e-learning today, it has swept countless
fields and has a universal set of users starting from middle schoolers who've started submitting
their assignments online, to corporate biggies that cannot function without it.
Gone are the days that a student accredited an institution's tutoring for his/her learning. Each
student now has a pet go-to e-learning facility to thank for saving their tests and scores! This what
tempts us to ask if this was used as a last-minute trick and if it helped? If yes, we will discuss if it
is really a true representation of a student's skill as compared to a hardworking offline-study
student.
But on the other hand, is this system being utilized to its maxed potential? In universities, fully
equipped hi-tech labs are available for training graduates. During the college years, we are taught
the practice of multiple technologies, coding languages and its practical implementations. But the
fact remains that over 90% of it, is learned online. Throughout this learning process, students are
being asked to line up to a system bound by the university, to complete the courses they have
defined for the them. This leads to the said underutilization of e-learning. While sticking to pre-
defined university courseware, we lose track of the fast-paced industry's growing needs. This
would lead us to the discussion on "bridging the gap".
2. THROUGH THE STUDENT LENS
On an average, a graduate level student uses books less than once a week. But online content is
accessed at least 4-5 days a week and multiple times during a study day. The virtual notebook has
taken over the blackboard. A few scenarios can help explain how:
When a student does not know a common definition or is unaware of the meaning of certain

2
phrases or terminology used somewhere, he no longer looks for an encyclopedia, but looks up his
phone’s google dictionary instead. It is a lot faster than manual searching since it’s just a few
clicks away.
Not all the students understand at their very first attempt at learning, but most of them wouldn’t
want to fail in the presence of a class full of students. Web-based learning personalizes the
environment, hence no fear to attempt again till they learn it. This enables the student to explore,
test their ideas well and most importantly, helps them revise multiple times as the content can be
re-watched or re-read multiple times unlike in a classroom environment.
Another example could be when an assignment or project must be submitted. The student has
many options open to him on the internet with an ocean of similar projects that can easily help set
precedence to his project. There are websites which provide free expert reviews of student’s
projects and help them create it from scratch, from building blueprints onward and even for free.
This was obviously much more economic compared to when we they had to purchase a book for
the same purpose.
Yet another instance could be the paramount help e-learning is during competitive exams and
university tests. Instead of spending many hours at tedious and monotonous lectures, there are
interesting and fun ways of learning concepts via puzzles, questionnaires, online group activities
etc. on the internet which have been proven to be more effective due to shortcut methods
available, even if it is a last-minute preparation. They also have access to large databases of
question papers to refer and study from. And based on each student’s caliber, there are specialized
test questions available. The mock tests online also help give them an approximate idea of their
preparation level and an expected score range.
So, we can see that a student's learning curve is vague but still dependent on the method of e-
learning that he chooses. To make a wise choice he must pick the method that is most
comfortable to him and suited to his understanding and grasping power. The different choices he
has include:
2.1. STATIC LEARNING
This is a one-way street where the student's only interaction with the web is to access the
disseminated and stored information or content. This includes but is not limited to PowerPoint
slides, E-books, question papers, videos, recorded lectures and related material. On picking up the
relevant content from sources such as WhatsApp class groups, University-Notes portals etc., the
student conducts domestic self-study with the help of these collectives.
2.2. DYNAMIC LEARNING
This usually consists of a regular online community that is balanced by two poles: The ‘teacher’
and the ‘pupil’. This is further divided into:
• Private tutoring: The teacher imparts knowledge and ideas to be learned and explains
them to the pupil in a one-on-one session.
• Group E-Learn Meets: Two or more people who are well versed in a particular common
area of interest get together and exchange ideas to help each other out. Both are equal
participants in this exchange.
• The Online Classroom: A qualified individual schedules a class and delivers a lecture to
an entire class of interested individuals live via Skype, Blackboard, FaceTime, Google
Plus Hangouts, Udacity etc., and also conducts a questionnaire session for doubt
discussions.

Most of the higher education institutes and universities in India are adopting the online classroom
method. Students are getting on to the E-learning journey either by choice to skill up in new areas
or as part of their university curriculum.Once he selects what is personally best for him, he is all
set to go on his E-learning journey.
3. ALONG THE WAY
The student starts walking down his selected road, but he encounters a lot of deviations and
obstacles.
With universities enforcing online tests and online submissions as a focal part of education, there
is the rising threat to authenticity. While e-learning enabled students to work time-effectively, it
still had its shortcomings with respect to college level testing. Students could always duplicate
content from online easily using plugins for every type of testing software. This is majorly due to
the general technical drawback of the online world: there was always a way to break in, hack and
alter the functioning of most systems easily. This has made it increasingly easy for students to
indulge in malpractice since every step to performing such unethical hacks are present openly
online paradoxically.
So, in an era where cybercrimes are a matter of fact, online testing might not be a completely apt
representation of a student's true potential and proficiency.
But since it's our best bet for development and still more effective than traditional learning, we
move on to analyzing it further.At university level, to be successful at web learning,there are
multiple factors that contribute apart from the students learning capacity and tutor/instructor:
• The student’s attitude.
• The content organization or knowledge base.
• An interactive tool or the web-based platform used as media for communication, which is
more important than the content itself.
• Effective feedback or assessment module from students who are currently taking the
web-based course or have done so in the past.
The modern E-learning system at university levels is described in Figure1. With help of industry
experts and content creators, staff will be able to provide course content. The interactive learning
console helps navigating to the topic that student wants to learn. The Intelligent module feeds the
content based on the students understanding and feedback. The admin and staff also feed in the
assessment questions. Randomized set of questions provided to students for evaluation of their
learning. Staff get report on student progress and feedback for further review.

Figure 1: Process involved in e-learning at university level
Many universities are launching distance education programs using web-based learning and
onlinelibraries. With India being the current third largest online market for education in the
world, it has launched NPTEL-a Govt. initiative and website where regular courses from reputed
Indian institutions hosted for free. One such similar but private e-learning instance in India is
eLab.
3.1. THE REVIEW OF eLAB
SRM university's eLab is an auto-evaluation tool for learning programming. eLab helps learners
to practice and acquire programming skills. Sophomore students are warmed up to the new
coding languages they would be learning through a semester using this tool.
Once the student logs in, he gets an effective pictorial representation of his question completion
status:

Figure2.The Elabcompletion Status Wheel.
The green slots represent the questions executed successfully and the yellow and red would
represent the attempted but incomplete and un-attempted questions respectively.
With a step-by-step approach, it levels up in competitiveness with every question. There are
several sections present in the tool, to cater to all the subjects the student will be completing in the
current semester. Each section within a subject would pertain to a chapterof the subject. Thus, all
areas of the student’s study, would be thoroughly tested. Each student is required to complete a
set of programs whose problem statements will be defined to them along with example test cases
(as shown in the screenshot below). The student is required to analyze the question and code to
satisfy the test cases. This system executes the written code and returns a result or highlights the
issues with the code if insufficient. The system is also designed to award a completion score in
percentage. If the code was ideal and satisfied all conditions, it recorded a 100%. If the code
worked in favor of the question but would not satisfy all conditions, it recorded a 33,50 or 75
percent based on how much improvement the code needed. Finally, an average of all these scores
makes the final cut to be added to the student's grade point average(GPA).
Initially the access to this tool was limited to devices connected via the university’s private
network. Now it has been made available for use from any network. So now students can use it
from anywhere including home, to complete their graded college work and submit it as well. But
the list of pros doesn’t stop there. Teachers and respective facultygain well from this tool too.
They can check the student’s progress at any given time, review & reframe the question set, and
download a progress report for all students that registered under them.

which are now even being prescribed by companies itself! MNCs like Google, Microsoft and
IBM now ask their employees to refer to such common e-learning portals instead of conducting
intense and tedious training programs. A Brandon-Hall Study proved that learning online required
almost 40% to 60% less employee time than learning the same topic in a traditional classroom
setup. For instance, when IBM implemented an e-learning program in their company, its
employees learned five times more without increasing their time spent in training.
When the freshers felt unprepared for the market, they ran to these web-based systems for a
revival. On completion of these online courses from Coursera etc., they would've added jewels of
value to their CVs which immediately helped them get hired and have also eased their transition
into the walls of the industry since companies preferred such candidates over newer unprepared
college minds.
4.1. HOW THE GAP COULD BE HANDLED
• Course content for universities should start to be: prescribed by or delivered directly from
industry partners or companies, as the constant updates that are done by college seem
insufficient. Therefore, the responsibility comes upon the system to update the syllabus
and the pedagogy based on the society's demands.
• Universities should use professional content developers who have the industry
experience.
• Web-based learning systems should consider using Artificial Intelligence. The tools
should be smart and more interactive in nature. It should learn by itself and adjust the
complexity of the delivered course based on the interaction and feedback of the students.
• The evaluation tools should predict the student understanding level and adjust the
complexity level and provide the set of questions dynamically based on their response
and award accordingly.
• Colleges should create space for students with a more direct inclination to the industry
and inculcate that as part of their graded courseware, as outcome-driven academic
systems flourish better.
• More web-based courses should be introduced into university curriculum to help industry
freshers since they come with no experience of the workplace pressure, workload
volumes or co-ordination required at companies at a global level. They need to be thought
how to unlearn what they have collected in domestic college environments and learn what
real-time systems require.
• Industries can create video content about the process and technology that they expect
from the students to be employer ready and publish education material to students and
universities.
• Industries should update the happenings of various conferences to students. This would
enable the students to align their reach projects, self-learning etc. using the web-based
education offered.
• While offering eLearning feedback, it's important to only concentrate on behaviors,
actions, or skills that can be changed or improved upon.
5. IN CONCLUSION
With the rigorously increasing E-learning appetite, the education system has improved by leaps
and bounds as compared to what it was in the past decade. But ever since the comfort of studying
on your own couch was introduced, the lazy students sense the main turbulence of studying at

their own pace - the procrastination. Students need to have a highly motivated self-learning drive
since web-based learning eliminates travel, timings and sometimes deadlines too and makes it all
too flexible. But we cannot deny the fact that both the economy and literacy levels have gone up
since the advent of web-based e-learning. Furthermore, tailored courses with flexible completion
timing do enhance majority of students’ inclination toward learning. The stepping stool into the
IT industry has become much larger with e-learning. More and more companies are starting to
recognize this trend. It is due to the abstraction feature of web-learning that, from a sea of
unrelated information we get straightforward and tailored content delivered to us for learning.
Thus, employees are now able to deliver better and effective results at within shorter time spans.
So, web-learning has contributed to nothing but good to the technical revolution. But with just a
few more changes and guideline enforcements, in the foreseeable future, e-learning would have
revamped the book era entirely and become the new worldwide education standard. Universities
would be technology enabled with a much leaner infrastructure. And in this changed paradigm,
the learner is the new center of the knowledge-universe with his personalized learning path.
