Vivitek, a leading brand of visual display products, has launched a new white paper, outlining Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) collaboration and the demands for this solution in both the education and corporate spheres.
With the rapid emergence of audio-visual and ICT technologies, the changing methods of working and learning have led to a rapid increase in the need for group collaboration. This latest invaluable resource from Vivitek aims to inform those interested in BYOD of the pertinent issues when specifying a solution.
Driven by the increase in usage of technology such as tablets, the BYOD market has exploded in recent years, with investors seeing the potential advantages of effective collaboration in many types of organisations. Drafted by Vivitek experts, the concise 10-page white paper provides a wealth of important information carefully designed to outline the benefits of BYOD, highlight common concerns regarding it, and discuss the implementation of a BYOD system.
Vivitek’s collaboration solution is NovoConnect, a small box packed with features. Costing a fraction of some high-end products, it allows for seamless distributed display and control between PC, Mac, tablet and smartphone devices to create a fully interactive presentation and collaboration environment. The fully wireless communication enables content sharing across multiple devices and the unit is compatible with Windows, Mac OS, Chromebook, iOS and Android operating systems. It is ideal for classrooms and conference rooms, and includes a range of classroom tools in its software.
Holger Graeff, General Manager, Vivitek EMEA says, “We have noticed a surge in demand for collaborative solutions in the workplace as well as the classroom. We hope this information will empower businesses with the relevant knowledge to ensure that they are able to make an informed decision to get the right solution for them.
“Research suggests that a wireless collaborative system can be hugely beneficial. A BYOD solution has the potential to increase productivity and boost employee or teacher-student satisfaction. The cost of a solution is also often much less expensive than people realise, so we believe it is important that we highlight these points in a considered manner. We feel that NovoConnect provides an excellent solution, boosting engagement and interaction at schools and businesses.”

Charting a course for empowered learning through the use of technology (4)steve muzzy
The document discusses using student-owned mobile devices in schools and presents data from a survey of students, teachers, parents and administrators on their views about technology use in education. It finds that most students have mobile devices and want to use them for schoolwork, but currently face obstacles like not being able to access the school network. Both students and teachers see benefits like increased engagement, but teachers and administrators have concerns about distractions and network security. The document proposes a pilot program to experiment with allowing student devices on the school network.
1) The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the transition to online learning, with many universities closing campuses and moving classes online.
2) The future of education is uncertain, with 3 possibilities for how the pandemic may continue to impact schools: campuses reopening in 2021, continued online classes through 2021, or a mix of in-person and online instruction depending on virus conditions.
3) Long-term, online learning is likely to become more integrated into education as students and universities recognize benefits like flexibility, lower costs, and accessibility regardless of location.
Personalisation, on-demand and predictive analytics: e-learning’s next leap f...Mindfire LLC
While online learning gained popularity in the 90’s, off late it has gained further traction. With the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated lockdowns, e-learning has emerged as one of the prominent uses of technology in the 21st century. E-learning as an educational experience is delivered electronically. It comprises many elements such as live or pre-recorded lecture content, videos, quizzes and other interactive elements.
Summit Public Schools is a growing charter school system in California with plans to expand to Washington. They have a distributed 1:1 Chromebook program across multiple campuses with high bandwidth connectivity.

Securly's cloud-based solution improved bandwidth utilization to over 99% and enabled filtering of Chromebooks used at home.
Bloxx undertook research on the use of Social Media and BYOD in Education, and the challenges faced by educators and learners alike. Surveying 172 IT Executives we identified a number of key areas where due to Security concerns, organisations without dynamic technology are forced to block access to these potentially educational sites and resources. Presented by Mark Gibson VP at Bloxx, during the CanConnectEd 2015 Conference, Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. (www.canconnected.com) This presentation offers solutions to the biggest worries and why communicating the importance of eSafety can be far more effective than simply blocking - or attempting to - block access.

Anti-Bullying Legislation in the United StatesSecurly
Bullying in various forms is on the rise in schools in the US and yet there is no federal law addressing this concern. The Department of Education provides some guidelines for states to create laws and policies to be implemented by individual school districts. We cross-referenced various statistics including the Department of Education and individual state government reports filed within the past few years to understand the discrepancies in state policies and bullying numbers across the country. We dug deeper into the prevention methods and policies enacted by each state –as well as its history –to uncover the underlying connections that provide for successful, or not-so-successful, anti-bullying environments.
This document provides instructions for configuring an admin console to scan emails using Auditor by Securly for selected organizational units (OUs).

The steps include logging into the admin console, navigating to settings, adding a mail route, configuring the OU, selecting the new mail route, and saving the settings.
The average school district faces the threat of teen suicide about every two weeks. Social media enables cyberbullying, which increases suicidal thoughts and can result in immense tragedy. However, leaving social media open and using tools like Securly's sentiment analysis technology, which detects phrases related to depression and suicide in social media posts, can help schools identify students in need of support and prevent teen suicide by combating its root cause of cyberbullying. The analysis of over 500,000 social media posts found that 1 in 50 posts expressed negative behaviors like cyberbullying or suicidal thoughts, and social media provides an opportunity to help the 60% of cyberbullying victims who do not currently seek adult assistance.
Case Study: Webb City R-VII School DistrictSecurly
The Webb City R-VII School District implemented a 1:1 Chromebook program but faced bandwidth and filtering issues with their existing iBoss appliance solution. Securly provided a cloud-based filtering solution that improved bandwidth utilization, allowed filtering of student home internet usage without burdening district resources, and integrated well with their Google Apps environment and Chromebooks through single sign-on and blocking of personal email accounts. The unified filtering and detailed reporting capabilities of Securly also provided advantages over the Guardian Chrome extension.
Gila Crossing Community School was using a WebSense appliance for content filtering but faced issues with maintenance, outages causing the filter to become unstable, and an inability to delegate control to teachers and staff. They implemented Securly's cloud-based content filtering which eliminated the need to maintain on-premise hardware, ensured filtering continued during outages, and allowed teachers to whitelist sites and access YouTube for Education. The new solution required less IT maintenance and provided improved web filtering controls.
The Massac Unit #1 School District needed a single, cost-effective web filter to serve its 8 buildings and 2,200 students and staff who used a mix of Windows, Chromebooks, and BYOD devices across multiple ISPs. The existing CIPA filter appliance caused bottlenecks and frequent crashes. Securly provided cloud-based filtering that integrated with the district's Google Apps for Education, addressing bandwidth and management issues at a fraction of the cost compared to an on-premise solution. The new solution resulted in improved bandwidth efficiency, lower costs, and avoided complex active directory single sign-on challenges due to Securly's Google Apps integration.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Securly’s web filtering solution to keep
its students safe 24/7 with identity-
based, and at-home monitoring.
Customer Name:
Baugo Community Schools
Location: Elkhart, Indiana
Business ImpactBusiness Challenge
Baugo Community Schools has about 2000 students and 250 support
staff including 130 teachers. Students are provided Chromebooks,
while teachers use PCs and MacBooks. David Wolford, the Instructional
Tech at Baugo Community Schools is determined to implement a 100%
1:1 Chromebook policy. This parity is essential to enable students and
teachers to live in the same world when it comes to the technology
they use. Though the school did use Untangle, their inability to provide
identity-based reporting in place of IP-based reporting prompted them
to look for other solutions.
Identity-based reporting and active reporting were considered
important to help the school monitor bullying issues and intervene
immediately.
Problems arose due to the gap between at-home monitoring and
parents’ understanding of at-home web filtering, which the previous
provider was unable to resolve.
Customer support from other competitors under consideration
included “ridiculous response time”, and complicated whitelisting
procedures.
Cost was also a major factor in view of the transition to
Chromebooks and the 1:1 goal.
Monitoring beyond social media, by
detecting bullying threats over email
Identity-based reporting instead of IP based
reporting helps educators and parents zero
in on the problem areas
Blend of active monitoring, periodic alerts,
and social media activity monitoring can
enable quicker analysis of problem
