Executives report that companies' use of social tools is becoming more mainstream and beneficial. A majority of companies now use at least one social tool, especially for internal communication and collaboration. Most executives see measurable benefits like reduced costs, though barriers remain to fully realizing social tools' value. A growing number of "fully networked" companies are seeing disproportionate benefits by using social tools both internally and externally. Mobile access to social tools is also on the rise, with over half of employees using them this way.

This document summarizes a presentation about how data and predictive analytics are changing expectations around accountability and student success in post-secondary education. It discusses how predictive modeling can identify at-risk students, but predicting risk is not enough - institutions must also link predictions to interventions. The presentation also explores opportunities to generate new insights from data and leverage online learning to fulfill its promise by embracing analytics. The PAR Framework collaborative aims to help institutions improve effectiveness and outcomes through common data definitions, benchmarks, predictive models, and an intervention inventory tool.
This document discusses the emerging market opportunities for collaboration technologies in education. It notes that while investments in education technology have increased, there is a debate around whether the growth represents a bubble similar to previous tech or housing bubbles. The document cautions that success requires understanding educators' needs and priorities over a focus on total market size. It advises maximizing chances for success by thinking like educators, finding influencers, and ensuring customer success and advocacy.

"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.
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

• eLearning growth is taking place in three separate segments, in relative order:
– Learning Management, Platforms, Software and Tools
– Video for Learning
– Interaction
• Overall market for LMS platforms and services will grow from $802.8 million in
2007 to $1.5 billion in 2011, at a (CAGR) of 13%. The bulk of this growth will occur
in higher education.
• The corporate segment of the industry will enter a slow growth period and
undergo further consolidation.
• There is a greater than 50% probability that many LMS platforms will include real-
time audio, web conferencing, Instant Messaging, Presence, and
videoconferencing capabilities as a matter of course within two years, and a 95%
probability these capabilities are contained within five years.
• Hosted and managed services will become the preferred deployment mode for
the traditionally CPE-based LMS industry.
