Transforming Education through Disruptive TechnologiesAspire Systems
IT budget cuts post-recession have forced education CIO’s to increase dependence on emerging cost-effective technologies like collaboration platforms, web based applications and the now buzzed Cloud Computing. However, the technology invasion in education is still nascent and various revolutionary concepts, like augmented reality and semantic web, are on the verge of becoming mainstream.
To penetrate beyond the inevitable hype and disruption, this webinar will be looking at the following:
- The best emerging technologies that education software providers should invest in
- Technologies recommended for classroom adoption among educational institutions
- Effects of adopting such disruptive technologies
- Obtaining the best out of established technologies

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.

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.

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.

STUDENT SUCCESS – Provide technology resources in support of teaching, learning administration and student success. The role and integration of technology in teaching, learning and business processes increases constantly. Technology expands the learning environment beyond the classroom, offering a world of information, insights and opportunities. With a focus on Student Success and by providing current user-friendly technology resources to our students, faculty and administration will cultivate innovation and strengthen LSCS. 2. SECURITY - Strengthen security for technology infrastructure to protect critical systems and services. It is everyone’s responsibility to safeguard LSCS assets and protect the identity of our students and employees. Ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability of resources and systems is crucial in order to achieve a position of superiority in information technology. As LSCS grows and builds even greater and more complex technology infrastructures and service environments, we will continuously strive to minimize risks of loss and damages due to vulnerabilities that are inherently heightened. 3. ACCESS - Increase access to and awareness of relevant and enabling technologies. Becoming a leader in technology requires that students, faculty, staff and administrators have appropriate access and incorporate available hardware, software, services and tools into their daily activities. Equally important is their role and participation in innovation, communication, and collaboration.
4. Efficiency and Effectiveness – Increase system-wide efficiency and effectiveness by supporting the integration of technology into instruction, administration and student support processes. Technology is a key component of delivering instruction, offering academic services, managing business operations and supporting administrative decisions. A few concrete examples of how technology integrates into instruction, student support and administrative business operations include delivering online courses; providing on-line registration, payroll, accounting and reporting; and making accessible tools for collaboration and communication (such as email, web conferencing and digital media). 5. FUNDING - Provide appropriate funding for technology services, innovation and training. A critical part, and leading indicator of successful planning, is timely allocation of appropriate funding. LSCS recognizes the strategic importance of technology and will appropriately and proportionally invest in technology assets, services and training to ensure systems and resources are in support of and aligned with LSCS goals and mission. 6. GOVERNANCE - Establish a transparent governance structure inclusive of administrators, staff, faculty, students and members of the community. A well-organized and well-communicated technology governance structure addresses how decisions are made with regard to the identification, acquisition, deployment and support of technology. LSCS will provide transparency in planning and decision-making through collaboration and communication of technology initiatives to all relevant stakeholders. 7. PARTNERSHIP – Promote and sustain relationships and partnerships, both internally and externally. Outstanding institutions have an open and trusted dialog established and cultivated internally and externally. LSCS will remain diligent in its technology-related activities to engage our valued stakeholders and to advance LSCS’s mission and goals.
Quality and Trust - Focus on providing a quality student experience. Access - Provide technology that enables students, faculty and staff to make effective choices and decisions that enhance their educational and workplace experience and quality of life. Efficiency – Support appropriate technology for student learning and workflow processes. Accountability - Be accountable to stakeholders and provide measurable outcomes. Student Centered - Always consider how our decisions and actions impact our students. Performance - Provide reliable and available technology that optimizes performance.
