When we’re creating sites, we act as though people are going to read over each page. What they actually do most of the time is glance at each new page, scan some of the text, and click on the first link that catches their interest.

It then provides recommendations for kid-friendly blogging platforms like Kidblog.org that give teachers control and privacy settings, and offers ideas for initial blogging assignments that can help students connect with other classrooms around the world.
Teachingtensteps
The document discusses research showing that students lack effective web research skills. It outlines 10 steps to teach better web research skills, including starting with general search terms and digging deeper into results, assessing source credibility by checking authors and dates, and considering why information was published. The goal is to teach broad research strategies rather than specific tools, and for skills to be reinforced throughout schooling to break habits of relying only on search engines without verification.
Rules of usability
The document discusses rules of usability, noting that websites should avoid making users think by getting rid of question marks, mental chatter, and errors. Good applications have no question marks, mental chatter, or errors. Websites should also make important elements self-evident or self-explanatory so users don't have to spend time thinking about where they are, what's important on the page, or whether something is an ad or part of the site.

Search is the New Black: How Millenials Find Information Online
The document discusses how Millennials search for information online. It finds that they almost always start searches on Google and rely heavily on search boxes. Millennials use simple keyword searches and put complete trust in search result rankings, only looking at the first page of results. They have poor search tactics like overusing natural language and changing topics frequently. The document recommends designing interfaces with recognizable search boxes on every page and focusing on improving students' search skills.

Active reading involves focusing on details like an author's craft, narrative elements, dialogue patterns, and integrating actions with dialogue. It suggests examining how authors create chapter endings or unique speech patterns. Another way is discussing books with others, joining book clubs, or using readers' guides to take time understanding works and how they affect readers. Active reading combines pleasure with conscious study and learning.
True Intent: The Best Online Benchmark You've Never Measured
UXPA 2013 Annual Conference - Wednesday July 10, 2013 by Ted Boren
Remote testing can tell you how easy your site is to use... for selected tasks. Surveys tell you how visitors feel... but lack performance data. Web analytics tell you where visitors go... but not whether they actually succeed.
"True intent" studies bridge these gaps and help your team learn what's really happening on your site, by asking real visitors why they came, tracking where they go, then allowing them to tell you if they succeeded. Work together to build affinity diagrams of intents and conduct a detailed failure analysis for even deeper insights that can shape your team's strategy for years.

Designing navigation
This document discusses designing navigation for websites. It notes that users will not use a website if they cannot find their way around it. When entering a website, users usually try to find something and decide whether to search first or browse links first. The document outlines some oddities of web space like having no sense of scale, direction or location. It states the purposes of navigation are to indicate what content is available on the site, how to use the site, and build confidence in the site creators. The document then discusses web navigation conventions and elements like persistent navigation, site identification, sections and utilities.
Design for easy use
The document provides guidelines for easy-to-use web design. It discusses three categories: color, space, and typography. For color, it recommends using high contrast and avoiding light text on dark backgrounds. For space, it suggests creating a consistent grid, keeping active space in content, and not letting headings float. For typography, it advises using a legible sans serif font, making text sizes readable, setting a medium line length, avoiding all capital letters, underlining only links, and using italics sparingly.
Information architecture
Information architecture is about organizing content, information, and navigation structures on a website. It involves creating solutions like website trees, sitemaps, and pyramids to help users browse and search for information. The document discusses information architecture for organizing information on the World Wide Web.

SAMS: An IoT Solution for Attendance Management in Universities
SAMS: An IoT Solution for Attendance Management in UniversitiesUniversity of Jaffna, vavuniya campus
An autonomous and effective platform for
students’ attendance management is presented in this paper by
using most of the advanced technologies of the IoT (Internet of
Things), such as mobility, wireless network, fingerprint sensor
and cloud computing. The research aims at developing a smart
device and a system to support attendance management in
Universities. Smart Attendance Management System (SAMS)
has been developed and implemented to record daily attendance
of students in lecture halls and to provide web services for
academic staff to manage and maintain attendance. The result
reveals that the SAMS overcomes many of the limitations in the
traditional methods of taking attendance and ensures the
solutions are more accurate, secure, efficient and automatic.Microkernels
The document discusses different types of computer kernels. A micro kernel performs only essential operations like inter-process communication and virtual memory management in the kernel space, while non-essential operations like device drivers and file systems run in user space. This improves modularity but incurs greater overhead during context switches between kernel and user mode. While micro kernels have advantages like flexibility, reliability and portability, monolithic kernels have better performance since everything runs in the kernel space. Hybrid kernels aim to achieve benefits of both models.
Digital psychiatry
This document discusses digital psychiatry and how technology can help diagnose and treat mental health conditions. It describes how an app on John's phone detected changes suggesting depression and offered a video call with a psychiatrist. It also discusses how physiological data from sensors can track conditions like bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. While digital psychiatry faces challenges, it holds promise to help more people manage their mental health globally through customized mobile and wearable technologies.

Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

How we really use the web
- 1. How we really use the Web S.Gopinath Department of Physical Science Vavuniya Campus, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka
- 2. • When we’re creating sites, we act as though people are going to read over each page. • What they actually do most of the time is glance at each new page, scan some of the text, and click on the first link that catches their interest. S.Gopinath 2
- 3. S.Gopinath 3
- 4. Three facts about real world Web use • We don’t read pages. We scan them • We don’t make optimal choices. We satisfied. • We don’t figure out how things work. We muddle through. S.Gopinath 4
- 5. We don’t read pages. We scan them. • We’re usually on a mission. • We know we don’t need to read everything. • We’re good at it. S.Gopinath 5
- 6. we tend to focus on words and phrases that seem to match (a)the task at hand (b)our current or ongoing personal interests. (c)the trigger words that are hardwired into our nervous systems, like “Free,” “Sale,” and “Sex,” and our own name. S.Gopinath 6
- 7. We don’t make optimal choices. We satisfice. • We’re usually in a hurry. • There’s not much of a penalty for guessing wrong. • Weighing options may not improve our chances. • Guessing is more fun. S.Gopinath 7
- 8. We don’t figure out how things work. We muddle through. • It’s not important to us. • If we find something that works, we stick to it. S.Gopinath 8
- 9. DESIGNING FOR SCANNING, NOT READING • Take advantage of conventions • Create effective visual hierarchies • Break pages up into clearly defined areas • Make it obvious what’s clickable • Eliminate distractions • Format content to support scanning S.Gopinath 9
- 10. Conventions are your friends • Where things will be located on a page. • How things work. • How things look. S.Gopinath 10
