E Banking
Internet banking, also known as e-banking, allows users to perform banking functions through their personal computer by accessing their bank's website. The ICICI Bank launched online banking in India in 1996. E-banking provides benefits like convenience and accessibility for customers as well as cost savings for banks by reducing branch transactions and operational costs. However, security concerns remain an issue as online banking increases the risks of hackers accessing customer accounts. Regulations and security measures will need to continue evolving to fully address privacy and fraud protection as virtual and branchless banking models grow in the future.

Educational technology essay
Digital natives are defined as individuals born after widespread adoption of digital technology who are fluent in the digital language. Today's students have grown up surrounded by computers, video games, and the internet and have spent more time engaged with digital media than reading. This has implications for how teachers should integrate technology into their lessons to actively engage digital native students. Policymakers also need to develop technology standards and assessments that measure 21st century skills like problem solving and collaboration using technology. When used properly, technology integration can enhance student learning, provide equitable access to knowledge, and support a variety of learning styles through tools like videos and online discussions.
Educational technology essay
Digital natives are individuals born after widespread adoption of digital technology who are fluent in using technology like the internet, computers, and mobile devices. Today's students have grown up surrounded by technology and spend more time playing video games and watching TV than reading. They use technologies like laptops, cell phones, social media as extensions of themselves. One implication for teachers is to become technologically savvy to teach digital natives effectively. Policymakers need to develop technology standards and assessments aligned with 21st century skills to equip digital natives for the future. Technology can enhance learning by expanding what is taught beyond the classroom and enabling different ways for students to demonstrate knowledge.

Technology friend foe
This document discusses the impact of technology on language learning in the classroom. It outlines how a typical classroom has changed from teacher-centered in the 1960s to more student-centered today. It describes both the benefits and pitfalls of implementing technology. The benefits include access to authentic resources, opportunities for communication, and motivating learners. However, there are also risks like internet security, lack of digital literacy and responsibility, and issues of accuracy and plagiarism online. The document concludes that technology should be used to enhance learning rather than replace teachers, and that it can be both helpful and harmful depending on how it is implemented.

Jennifer Imazeki, Economics
Scaffolded Writing and Reviewing in the Disciplines(SWoRD) is a web-based peer-review system. One of the primary innovations of SWoRD, relative to other peer review tools, is the scoring algorithm through which peer review scores are converted into student grades for both writing and reviewing. In this session, I will discuss my experience with SWoRD, which I used in Spring 2011 for an upper-division writing course for economics majors, replacing my previous system of ‘manual’ peer review (i.e., students swapping papers)Community Collaboration
This document discusses using a wiki as a collaborative tool for writing. It proposes creating a new health communication course that focuses on communicating sustainability at work. Students will assess workplace behaviors and policies that impact wellness and sustainability, and devise communication strategies. Students will collaborate in teams to construct a wiki on a sustainability topic, including investigating the topic, analyzing information, designing wiki pages, and presenting their wiki. Wikis allow collaborative writing and constant evolution. This assignment outlines components for the sustainability topic wikis and a grading rubric.
Next Generation Response Systems at SDSU
The document summarizes SDSU's evaluation and selection of a new student response system to replace its existing eInstruction clickers.

Based on faculty, student, and staff ratings across 15 criteria, i>clicker was preferred and was seen as simpler and more consistent than the alternatives. SDSU plans to transition mainly to the lower-cost i>clicker system starting next year.
The iPad: Sign of the times, but which way does it point?
Some see the iPad as one more way for people to find endless distractions and entertainments, a nail in the coffin for those who seek to "amuse themselves to death." Others believe the iPad is the best exemplar to date of the possibilities for extending human abilities to learn, connect, and create via powerful portable computing devices. Either way, the iPad and its ilk deserve attention from educators considering the future of teaching and learning. This session will open a conversation about the possibilities, in the hopes of helping participants to move beyond their preconceptions and biases.

Providing Online Support for Student Writing
With class sizes increasing, it is becoming increasingly difficult to support research and writing activities. The extra workload associated with grading, checking assignments, and providing support outside of the classroom can become overwhelming. Through my experience in the Course Design Institute, I have learned about several tools that will be useful for increasing research and writing activities while maintaining a manageable workload. I have incorporated the use of online tools to support writing activities in a large undergraduate course, including Blackboard, Google Docs, and Wimba Classroom. In this session I will describe what worked and what didn’t work, and I will provide a brief demonstration of the techniques that have been most useful.
An Experimental Study of Instructor Immediacy
This study examined the effects of instructor immediacy and communication media on student perceptions, cognitive learning, perceived learning, and satisfaction in a virtual classroom. Participants experienced teaching sessions that manipulated immediacy (high vs. low) and media (video vs. photo). Results showed that students in the high-immediacy groups rated the instructor higher on immediacy measures and performed better on cognitive tests than those in low-immediacy groups. The group with high immediacy and video scored highest overall. While all groups showed cognitive gains, those exposed to higher immediacy learned more. Future research could address limitations and further explore the role of immediacy and media in virtual learning.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
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).

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
