Ideas for Vancouver Secondary Schools - Technology for Learning [Dec2012]Brian Kuhn
Sharing ideas with Vancouver School Board secondary school teachers, principals to assist with envisioning uses of technology, professional learning, types of technology for learning, planning, and implementing.
In this presentation at SXSWedu in March 2013, Dr. Gigi Johnson explores the fuzzy world of “blended” courses in higher education. She dissects the tensions and tribulations as universities attempt to blend F2F and web-enriched tools in traditional environments, including challenges of time, space, and data politics in research universities, challenges with cost structures and faculty development, and abundant legal and IP issues. What is a class vs. what it could be with rich alternative technologies for learning? How do old universities rethink “class” instead of “just” repackage learning in a blended environment?

Disruptive Innovation in Christian Higher Education for ACCESS Ed 2015 by And...City Vision University
Dr. Andrew Sears presented on disruptive innovation in Christian higher education. He discussed how online education is consolidating around a few large providers and how this poses challenges for smaller Christian colleges. However, new models are emerging like competency-based programs, open education, and bundling online courses with local study groups and internships. If Christian colleges innovate by unbundling and re-bundling their services, pursuing scale in online programs, and lowering costs, they may be able to better compete in the changing higher education landscape.

Stephen Eric Lawrence, who runs a charitable foundation in Nassau, Bahamas, participated in celebrations for the island nation's 40th anniversary of independence from Britain in 2013, even though he is not a native. Every July 10th, the Bahamas celebrates Independence Day to commemorate gaining freedom from British rule in 1964 after a history of control by several powers dating back to a Columbus settlement in the 15th century. To mark the occasion, citizens enjoy a week of festivities from July 3rd to the 10th including parades, performances, fireworks and more, with National Pride Day held the Friday before featuring marching bands and ceremonies.
The document discusses the three most popular types of skiing: alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, and freestyle skiing. Alpine skiing or downhill skiing involves gliding down snow-covered hills on skis and grew popular with ski lifts. Cross-country skiing requires large snow fields and mainly occurs in northern regions, working full body muscles. Freestyle skiing originated from Norwegian skiers doing acrobatics and is quite dangerous, recently being accepted in competitions.
Teachers can use 6 principles to help English language learners (ELLs) be successful: 1) Build on what students already know, 2) Provide meaningful contexts for learning, 3) Ensure students understand new information, 4) Give students chances to practice and apply knowledge, 5) Establish a positive environment with clear goals and feedback, and 6) Reflect on language forms and the learning process. The document emphasizes that ELLs need more support structures to learn academically.

Working with students to make the most of digital - Jisc Digifest 2016Jisc
We know how important it is to engage learners in designing their digital learning experience, but how can universities and colleges make this work in practice, and at scale?
Participants will have the opportunity of hearing from two institutional case studies on student digital partnerships.
The session will help you reflect on where you are with your students’ digital experience, and plan your next steps.
This document discusses how learning is becoming more distributed and occurring across multiple contexts through social media and online networks. It explores the idea of "feral learning" that happens outside of traditional educational institutions. Badges are presented as a way to recognize and credential skills gained through informal learning experiences. The document suggests that universities may start to issue open badges to provide recognition for learning that occurs elsewhere, including skills gained through online activities, work experiences and peer learning. It also discusses how a badge system could help make learning outcomes and progress more visible for students and better support lifelong learning beyond traditional education models.

Student autonomy for flat learning and global collaborationJulie Lindsay
The focus of this presentation is on developing student autonomy to build learning networks and communities of practice for collaboration, both local and global. We talk about the teacher as a connected and collaborative global learner, but we need to redesign the learning paradigm further to connect students in K-12 more independently with others. The role of the teacher as activator or ‘learning concierge’ for student network building is crucial. Knowledge construction via a non-hierarchical approach means the student must also learn to take responsibility for professional learning modes and not be reliant on the teacher as the conduit.
Join Julie to explore new ideas for collaborative learning to support deeper understanding about the world while working with the world.
This document discusses Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It begins by defining MOOCs as online courses that are open to unlimited participation and do not charge tuition fees.

Scaling the Impact of Libraries Through Learning NetworksOCLC
Presented by Sharon Streams at the OCLC Asia Pacific Regional Council Meeting, 29-30 November 2017, Tokyo (Japan).
During this time of rapid change in how information is created, disseminated, consumed, and preserved, the library’s mission to promote an informed, literate society through open access to knowledge is more essential than ever. To keep apace, more libraries are discovering the power of learning networks to spread and gather knowledge, explore ideas and co-create innovation. A current OCLC project, Wikipedia+Libraries: Better Together, is facilitating a learning network around the open-access encyclopaedia, Wikipedia, a resource that embodies both the opportunities and the challenges of today’s information landscape. By introducing library staff to the innerworkings of Wikipedia and the volunteer community of editors who maintain it, and by exposing Wikipedians to the expertise and resources of libraries, this project is forging new connections that will catalyze improvements to Wikipedia itself, to the benefit of online information seekers.
The document discusses online and informal learning. It provides examples of popular online learning methods like YouTube and social media. A survey found that people use a mix of online and offline learning methods, with most spending 1-2 hours online per week. However, lack of time is a barrier. The document promotes the Learning Pool online learning platform as a low-cost option for organizations to provide training anytime through e-learning courses and a learning management system. It allows users to track progress and create custom content.
MOOCs are free online courses that are open to anyone. They do not have entry requirements or formal credits but provide statements of accomplishment. The first MOOC was created in 2008 by educators Stephen Downes and George Siemens and was called 'Connectivism and Connective Knowledge'. It had over 2,200 students. While MOOCs increase access to education, some are concerned they could replace traditional classrooms and liberal arts education. Others worry they may not remain truly free long-term. Overall, MOOCs present both opportunities and challenges for rethinking online education.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
ScyllaDB is making a major architecture shift. We’re moving from vNode replication to tablets – fragments of tables that are distributed independently, enabling dynamic data distribution and extreme elasticity. In this keynote, ScyllaDB co-founder and CTO Avi Kivity explains the reason for this shift, provides a look at the implementation and roadmap, and shares how this shift benefits ScyllaDB users.
[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.

"NATO Hackathon Winner: AI-Powered Drug Search", Taras KlobaFwdays
This is a session that details how PostgreSQL's features and Azure AI Services can be effectively used to significantly enhance the search functionality in any application.
In this session, we'll share insights on how we used PostgreSQL to facilitate precise searches across multiple fields in our mobile application. The techniques include using LIKE and ILIKE operators and integrating a trigram-based search to handle potential misspellings, thereby increasing the search accuracy.
We'll also discuss how the azure_ai extension on PostgreSQL databases in Azure and Azure AI Services were utilized to create vectors from user input, a feature beneficial when users wish to find specific items based on text prompts. While our application's case study involves a drug search, the techniques and principles shared in this session can be adapted to improve search functionality in a wide range of applications. Join us to learn how PostgreSQL and Azure AI can be harnessed to enhance your application's search capability.

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).
This talk will cover ScyllaDB Architecture from the cluster-level view and zoom in on data distribution and internal node architecture. In the process, we will learn the secret sauce used to get ScyllaDB's high availability and superior performance. We will also touch on the upcoming changes to ScyllaDB architecture, moving to strongly consistent metadata and tablets.
"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...Fwdays
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) invited Taylor Paschal, Knowledge & Information Management Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, to speak at a Knowledge Management Lunch and Learn hosted on June 12, 2024.

The objectives of the Lunch and Learn presentation were to:
- Review what KM ‘is’ and ‘isn’t’
- Understand the value of KM and the benefits of engaging
- Define and reflect on your “what’s in it for me?”
- Share actionable ways you can participate in Knowledge - - Capture & Transfer

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena SyrotaFwdays
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
"Frontline Battles with DDoS: Best practices and Lessons Learned", Igor IvaniukFwdays
At this talk we will discuss DDoS protection tools and best practices, discuss network architectures and what AWS has to offer. Also, we will look into one of the largest DDoS attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure that happened in February 2022. We'll see, what techniques helped to keep the web resources available for Ukrainians and how AWS improved DDoS protection for all customers based on Ukraine experience
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
