One of the most common I/O peripherals used with microprocessors is sensors. Microprocessors can be programmed to receive and process data from various types of sensors, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, and proximity sensors. The microprocessor can then use this data to make decisions and provide output signals to other systems.
Another common I/O peripheral used with microprocessors is actuators. Microprocessors can be used to control the operation of various types of actuators, such as motors, valves, and solenoids. These actuators can be controlled based on input signals received from sensors or other external devices, allowing for precise control of various systems.
Moreover, microprocessors are also used in conjunction with displays, which can provide information to the user or display system status information. Microprocessors can control the operation of displays, allowing for the display of text, graphics, and other information in a variety of formats.
In addition to these applications, microprocessors can also be used with other types of I/O peripherals, such as switches, buttons, and keyboards, which allow for user input into the system. Microprocessors can be programmed to receive and process input signals from these devices, allowing for user interaction with the system.
In conclusion, microprocessors are commonly used in conjunction with I/O peripherals, which allow for communication between the microprocessor and external devices. These peripherals can include sensors, actuators, displays, and other devices that are used to interface with the outside world. Microprocessors provide intelligent control over these peripherals, allowing for precise control and interaction with various systems. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see even more innovative applications of microprocessors in I/O peripheral technology, providing even greater functionality and efficiency in a wide range of systems.

Technology is science or knowledge put into practical use to solve problems or invent useful tools. A computer is one of the examples of technology it is a programmable electronic device that accepts raw data as input and processes it with a set of instructions (a program) to produce the result as an output.
Technology is robust, where hacking is now common, there are two different types of hacking, ethical hacking, and unethical hacking.
The Same Tools Are Used By Both Hackers And Ethical Hackers. The Only Difference Is That Hackers Use Tools To Steal Or Destroy Information Whereas Ethical Hackers Use the Same Tools To Safeguard Systems From “Hackers With Malicious Intent”. Ethical Hacking Is Legal And Hacking Is Done With Permission From The Client.
Computer Security Is The Protection Of Computer Systems And Networks From Information Disclosure, Theft Of Or Damage To Their Hardware, Software, Or Electronic Data, As Well As From The Disruption Or Misdirection Of The Services They Provide.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Foundations of Information System in Business - Mark John Lado
1.
2. “A system does not exist in a vacuum;
rather, it exists and functions in an
environment containing other systems.”
3. Subsystem: A system that is a component of a
larger system, where the larger system is its
environment.
System Boundary: A system is separated
from its environment and other systems by its
system boundary.
4. Interface: Several systems may share the
same environment. Some of these systems
may be connected to one another by means of
a shared boundary, or interface.
Open System: A system that interacts with
other systems in its environment is called an
open system
5. Adaptive System: A system that has the
ability to change itself or its environment in
order to survive is called an adaptive system.
6.
7. An information system model expresses a
fundamental conceptual framework for the major
components and activities of information systems.
An information system depends on the resources of
people, hardware, software, data, and networks to
perform input, processing, output, storage, and
control activities that convert data resources into
information products.
8. The information systems model outlined in the text
emphasizes four major concepts that can be applied to all
types of information systems:
People, hardware, software, data, and networks, are the five
basic resources of information systems.
People resources include end users and IS specialists,
hardware resources consist of machines and media, software
resources include both programs and procedures, data
resources can include data and knowledge bases, and
network resources include communications media and
networks.
9. Data resources are transformed by information
processing activities into a variety of information
products for end users.
Information processing consists of input, processing,
output, storage, and control activities
10. The basic IS model shows that an information system
consists of five major resources:
People resources
Hardware resources
Software resources
Data resources
Network resources
11. People Resources:
People are required for the operation of all information
systems. These people resources include end users and IS
specialists.
End Users (also called users or clients) are people who
use an information system or the information it produces.
Most of us are information system end users. And most end
users in business are knowledge workers, that is, people who
spend most of their time communicating and collaborating in
teams of workgroups and creating, using, and distributing
information.
12. IS Specialists are people who develop and operate
information systems. They include system analysts, software
developers, system operators, and other managerial,
technical, and clerical IS personnel.
Systems analysts – design information systems based on the
information requirements of end users. (example- LIB)
Software developers – create computer programs based on
the specifications of systems analysts.
System operators – monitor and operate large computer
systems and networks.
13. Hardware resources include all physical devices and
materials used in information processing.
Machines - physical devices (computers, peripherals,
telecommunications networks, etc.)
Media - all tangible objects on which data are
recorded (paper, magnetic disks etc.)
14. Examples of hardware in computer-based information
systems are:
Computer Systems – which consist of central processing
units containing microprocessors, and a variety of
interconnected peripheral devices.
Computer peripherals – which are devices such as a
keyboard or electronic mouse for input of data and
commands, a video screen or printer for output of
information, and magnetic or optical disks for storage of
data resources.
15. Software resources include all sets of information
processing instructions.
Program - a set of instructions that causes a computer to
perform a particular task.
Procedures - set of instructions used by people to
complete a task.
16. Examples of software resources are:
System software – such as an operating system program,
which controls and supports the operations of a computer
system. (e.g.Win, UNIX)
Application software – are programs that direct
processing for a particular use of computers by end users.
(Word, Photoshop)
Procedures – are operating instructions for the people
who will use an information system.
17. Data versus Information. The word data is the plural of
datum, though data is commonly used to represent both
singular and plural forms. The term’s data and information are
often used interchangeably. However, you should make the
following distinction:
Data: - are raw facts or observations, typically about physical
phenomena or business transactions. More specifically, data
are objective measurements of the attributes (characteristics)
of entities, such as people, places, things, and events.
18. Information: - is processed data, which has been placed
in a meaningful and useful context for an end user. Data
is subjected to a “value-added” process (data processing
or information processing) where:
- Its form is aggregated, manipulated, and organized.
- Its content is analyzed and evaluated
- It is placed in a proper context for a human user
19. Data constitutes a valuable organizational resource. Thus,
data resources must be managed effectively to benefit all
end users in an organization. The data resources of
information systems are typically organized into:
Databases - a collection of logically related records or files. A
database consolidates many records previously stored in
separate files so that a common pool of data records serves
many applications.
Knowledge Bases - which hold knowledge in a variety of
forms such as facts and rules of inference about various
subjects.
20. Telecommunications networks like the Internet, intranets, and
Extranets have become essential to the successful electronic
business and commerce operations of all types of organizations
and their computer-based information systems.
Telecommunications networks consist of computers,
communications processors, and other devices interconnected
by communications media and controlled by communications
software. The concept of network resources emphasizes that
communications networks are a fundamental resource
component of all information systems. Network resources
include:
21. Communications media (twisted-pair wire, coaxial cable,
fiber-optic cable, and microwave, cellular, and satellite
wireless systems.
Network support (people, hardware, software, and data
resources that directly support the operation and use of a
communications network).
