Role of IT in enhancing the quality of higher educationRajni Mittal
The document discusses the role of information technology (IT) in enhancing the quality of higher education. It argues that IT has fundamentally changed teaching and learning processes by enabling new pedagogies like e-learning. IT allows students to learn anywhere, anytime through flexible online learning methods and tools. It also helps educational institutions improve administrative functions. While IT has benefits, educators must also adapt teaching strategies to active online environments. Overall, the document concludes that IT can transform education when used innovatively to promote student learning.
Technology provides several important benefits to education. It can help equalize educational resources between wealthy and low-income districts. It also prepares students for a world that increasingly relies on technology in professional careers. Technology allows learning to extend beyond the classroom through mobile devices and collaboration between students. It also provides motivation through tracking student progress and social elements that make learning competitive and engaging. Schools can save costs by replacing physical materials with technology and providing remote access to resources. Technology also enables up-to-date curriculum and real-time student assessments to improve learning outcomes. It connects students globally to share perspectives from around the world. Finally, technology lightens students' physical loads and supports ergonomic well-being.
Computer technology provides advantages for teaching and learning but also disadvantages. The advantages include easier access to information, opportunities for social interaction and independent learning, and making the learning process more attractive, fast, and exciting for students. However, overreliance on computers can also lead to laziness, dependence on the technology instead of traditional studying methods, and divided attention that impacts learning. Overall, technology should be used to enhance education, not as a replacement for it or as a tool for non-educational activities like gaming.
The document discusses implementing technology into business education courses. It addresses two major problems of financial availability and organizing technology within the system.

Using computer applications in teaching and learning management has several benefits: it increases student motivation and interest; develops critical thinking skills; allows students to be actively involved through case studies and simulations; and prepares students for technology-driven careers. However, there are also potential downsides if the applications do not work properly or lead students to incorrect logical conclusions. Younger generations of students are accustomed to technology and need stimulation beyond conventional teaching methods. When used effectively, computer applications can enhance the learning process.
The document discusses the importance and impact of information and communication technology (ICT). It defines ICT as the use of hardware and software to access diverse technologies and tools. ICT is transforming education by making information readily available, allowing distance learning, and enabling modern teaching methods like online courses and video conferencing. Educators must now promote literacy by keeping their own knowledge up to date, maximizing the benefits of ICT through proper planning, using computer-aided teaching, and conducting online examinations.
Information and communication technology (ICT) plays an important role in modernizing education systems and the way learning occurs. ICT refers to technologies that allow access to information and is now integrated into many aspects of daily life. For education, ICT aims to familiarize students and teachers with computers and address related social and ethical issues. While ICT transforms both teaching and learning processes to increase student learning and develop skills like creativity, there are also some potential negative effects. Teachers may over-rely on unverified online information and students could become lazy and irresponsible if they easily access materials without proper understanding.
Computers are not only storage devices and processing units, but also are excellent communication media. They are the means to access the Internet and get connected to the world.
This document discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. It covers several key points:
1) ICT can enhance learning by providing interactive, problem-based learning experiences and facilitating cognitive development. Teachers shift from being solely knowledge transmitters to learning facilitators. Students become more active participants in the learning process.
2) ICT is used in education for teaching, remedial teaching, evaluation, developing virtual laboratories, online tutoring, and creating instructional materials. It benefits teachers, students, and researchers.
3) ICT brings changes like students taking more control of their learning, social collaboration, deeper analysis of concepts, and gaining knowledge beyond what teachers can provide. Evaluation

PRESENTATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGYepulyaacob
The document discusses the evolution of computers as instructional tools in education from the 1960s to the early 2000s. It notes that [1] initial computer use in schools began in the mid-late 1970s at the senior level, [2] personal computers released in the late 1970s-early 1980s drove adoption, but [3] computer use remained limited and focused on technical aspects rather than integration into teaching and learning.
The document discusses ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in an educational context. It defines ICT as encompassing hardware, software, and technologies that facilitate communication and sharing of information. It states that being ICT literate involves having the skills and knowledge to meaningfully use appropriate technologies. However, many teachers are not truly ICT literate and only use basic technologies like PowerPoint. The document argues that teachers need to keep up with technology trends that students use, like social media, and that curriculum changes are required for classrooms to keep pace with the digital world outside of school. Restrictions like lack of funding or training can limit what technologies teachers can use. As technologies evolve daily, teachers have an obligation to prepare students
The study aimed at developing a model for transforming African education systems through the application of internet of things. The internet of things model for Africa developed would allow African countriesparticularly Namibia to share education materials and resources with other countries across Africa. The idea behindthe internet of things model in the education sectors in Africa is to encourage open access to knowledge and information. The study discovered that in African education systems there are no known platforms that are used by African countries to collaborate, communicate and share educational information directly with universities in Africa. Therefore, the present study developed a model for transforming African education systems through the application of internet of things in the Namibian context which will act as a centralized online platform for self-study, new skillsacquisition and self-improvement using materials provided by African institutions of education and higher learning.The platform is open to everyone such as students, educators and members of the public.

This presentation was designed for teachers participating in Garden Valley School Division's Technology PD sessions. This presentation introduces participants to the history and current issues relating to technology integration in education.
The document discusses the implementation of a 1:1 program that provides each student with a netbook computer. It argues that this program aims to prepare students for the technological skills needed for future jobs by teaching students to use software programs and manipulate computers. The 1:1 program allows students to learn at their own pace and build knowledge through individual and guided use of their netbooks. The document also discusses how social media networks have become integrated into daily life and can be used to share information and help others with technological problems. It believes that providing students with constant internet access through this program will allow education to be more engaging and help students who lack experience in accessing online information.
Challenges of E-Learing in Nigerian University Education Based on the Experie...IJMIT JOURNAL
This paper present a review of the challenges of e-learning in Nigerian University education based on the experience of four developed countries, UK, Australia, Korea and France. The survey shows that these countries have: (i) vision and action plans for e-learning, (ii) they have good government policies and financial support, (iii) they earmark action programs and set committees with sufficient funds to pursue it goals, (iv) they believe in research as a fundamental part of e-learning strategy, and lastly (v) they embark on awareness, training and motivational programs. The paper pointed out that, for the challenges of Nigerian university education to be reduced to minimum, the Federal Government should improve on educational funding as UNESCO recommended 26% of the annual budget. In addition the government should fulfill her promise on the issue of improving Electricity supply in the country. Furthermore, the university administrators should embark on awareness and training of staff on the use of ICTs, with motivations attached. The Internet is a major driver of ICT in education and bandwidth is a major issue in the deployment of e-learning. Therefore government should make Internet connectivity a priority for higher education to be able to leverage on the promises and opportunities ICTs present.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Ivanti’s Patch Tuesday breakdown goes beyond patching your applications and brings you the intelligence and guidance needed to prioritize where to focus your attention first. Catch early analysis on our Ivanti blog, then join industry expert Chris Goettl for the Patch Tuesday Webinar Event. There we’ll do a deep dive into each of the bulletins and give guidance on the risks associated with the newly-identified vulnerabilities.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
