Usability
The document outlines an agenda for discussing usability, beginning with a few words about usability. It then covers user research, design, and usability testing. User research involves defining goals, target groups, research methods, and conducting sessions to gather requirements. Design and usability testing are also discussed as parts of the usability process. The overall document provides an overview of topics to cover in a discussion about usability.
Making the most of leisure time
This document outlines a certificate program for employability and personal development. It focuses on making the most of leisure time. The program has three learning outcomes: 1) Understanding how to best use leisure time, 2) Participating in a range of leisure activities, and 3) Reviewing activities. For outcome 1, the student describes benefits of leisure and local activities. For outcome 2, the student proposes relaxing, challenging, and skill-building activities. They choose Xbox, walking, and reading. For outcome 3, the student reviews their experiences and prefers Xbox for relaxation.
Graphic organizer
The document discusses various graphic organizers that can be used for teaching including: an advance organizer to introduce lesson topics, a T-chart for exploring opposing viewpoints, a SWOT analysis for brainstorming ideas, a fishbone diagram to explore causes and effects, a Y-chart to describe three aspects of a topic, a storyboard for discussing literature, a KWL chart to track student knowledge, a cycle diagram to understand cyclic events, and a timeline to sequence events. Graphic organizers provide visual representations of concepts and relationships to facilitate learning.
Graphic Organizers
The document discusses graphic organizers, which are visual tools that help convey relationships between concepts. Graphic organizers use visual symbols to represent ideas and show how they are connected. Their main purpose is to provide a visual aid to facilitate learning by allowing students to visually map out ideas. Some common types of graphic organizers include spider maps, series of events chains, compare/contrast matrices, and venn diagrams.
Graphic organizer Presentation
This document discusses graphic organizers, which are visual displays that show relationships between facts, terms, and ideas. Graphic organizers include concept maps, webs, and mind maps. They help students in various ways such as structuring writing, classifying ideas, and increasing reading comprehension. Graphic organizers can be used for all grade levels and are effective for both students and adult learners as they allow connections to be seen visually. They are useful for teaching concepts like cause and effect. While they enhance learning, graphic organizers can also be time consuming to create and update.

How to design Collaborative learning activities
In this workshop you will work in a small team to design a collaborative online learning activity. You will have the opportunity learn about the principles involved, experiment with tools that can help you structure and analyse your ideas and learn from case studies of successful activities tried and tested on Open University modules. At the end of the workshop you will have produced an initial design which you can then develop further to be used in your online teaching activities.
This workshop has been created by the METISProject (http://metis-project.org/), and it is one of three workshop structures that heave been developed for different educational sectors across Europe. You will use several paper-prototyping tools and the Integrated Learning Design Environment (ILDE), a bespoke environment for the co-design of learning, developed by the Metis Project. The ILDE aims to support practitioners in completing the "learning design" lifecycle from conceptualising designs to deploying them in virtual learning environments (VLEs) for enactment and eventual redesign. In particular, you will use WebCollage, an online tool specifically designed to assist you in creating collaborative learning activities ready to run in a VLE. The overall design of this workshop is based on a meta-design template produced by the Metis project (Brasher & McAndrew, 2015) .

Perspectives At Help
Do you find yourself asking questions like what did ‘just’ happen, what does it mean, without getting satisfying answers? No matter a role we are in, we work with individuals, teams, and organizations where we observe different events and situations in different contexts. How can we make sense out of all of these events and situations? What tools can we use in getting more clarity and understanding? What are the right questions?
If you do find yourself asking those questions, this session will help you discover one approach on how to deal with such situations by combining Michael Spayd’s and Michele Madore’s Integral Agile Transformation FrameworkTM and powerful questions. The workshop will address the perspectives of leadership and mindset, practices and behavior, organizational architecture, and organizational culture and relationships. And in the combination with powerful questions give the opportunity to experience the creation of clarity and understanding.

Structured Lesson Protocols Powerpoint
The Structured Lesson Review is a process for educators to collaboratively review lessons through structured critique and feedback. It involves four steps: 1) a teacher presents their lesson plan, 2) peers ask clarifying questions, 3) peers provide warm and cool feedback about strengths and areas for improvement, and 4) an open discussion where the teacher can respond and discuss next steps. The document provides an example of educators reviewing a virtual Civil Rights museum lesson, with peers providing positive feedback on collaboration and real-world application, and suggestions around community involvement and student interviews. The process aims to make teaching practices public and support ongoing professional growth through reflection and collaboration.
Say What?!? Ensuring Everyone has a Voice during Online Course Discussions
The document discusses strategies for keeping students engaged in online course discussions. It recommends a three-pronged approach of preparing students, getting discussions started, and maintaining momentum. Specific techniques include assigning roles, limiting posting lengths, acknowledging contributions, using discussion protocols, and giving students responsibilities like summarizing discussions. The goal is to make discussions meaningful and equitable while avoiding them becoming tedious busywork.

Socratic seminars1
Socratic seminars are a teaching method where students discuss and ask questions about a text to improve understanding. The teacher facilitates without leading the discussion. To prepare, students read the text and develop questions at different levels, from basic knowledge to applying and synthesizing ideas. During the seminar, students sit in two circles and take turns discussing and asking questions, citing evidence from the text. They are assessed based on their contributions to the respectful discussion. Afterward, students reflect on the discussion with their partner's notes.

Teaching Awardees Slideshow
This document lists the winners of various teaching awards at UBC for the 2008/09 year across several faculties, including Engineering, Education, Law, Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Science, and Arts. Recipients include professors, instructors, and clinical faculty from departments such as Civil Engineering, Educational Studies, Pathology, Family Practice, Earth and Ocean Sciences, and more. They received awards for excellence in teaching, clinical teaching, mentorship, and impacting their communities.
Let’s Get Together!
One challenge of distance education is the lack of opportunities to meet synchronously. Text chats and one-way lectures have been used, but they lack the dynamics and flexibility that make two-way exchanges effective. Systems such as Adobe Connect have been used successfully to bring students and instructors “face to face”. Many are familiar with using these systems for virtual lectures and discussions but Clemson University faculty, technology consultants and trainers have extended Adobe Connect in a number of ways to enhance teaching and support:
* On-line class meetings, study sessions and office hours
* Group collaboration on class projects
* Live discussions among support staff in resolving issues
* Screen-sharing to support and train faculty remotely
* Recording and critiquing support staff’s contacts with faculty
* Webinars for “desktop training”
In this session we will see how far you can go with the new generations of live meeting places.

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).

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.JavaLand 2024: Application Development Green Masterplan

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.
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
