The impact of the usage of contracted British Braille Code on the spelling pr...Ng lily
This article investigated the implication of the usage of contracted or abbreviated British Braille Code on the spelling proficiency among the pupils with visual impairments in a bilingual setting. The time series quasi experimental research was initiated since 2013 among 5 congenital blind pupils, 6 acquired blindness, including teenage blind, and 4 functionally blind pupils. The English Language Spelling Proficiency Test (ESPT) was administered verbally and in written form to obtain quantitative data on the typology of spelling errors made by the respondents. The upshot of the research had successfully identified the habitual errors offended by the respondents that eventually detracted the operation of Second Language (L2) acquisition; in which are believed to bear an influence on the mean scores obtained in the applied instrument. The result indicated that "graphemes substitution" and "direct translation of syllables of the first language (L1)" to be set up as the most frequent case of errors. It is recommended that teachers are always vigilant to the cultural aspects of the language process. Meanwhile, braille literacy activities should be enriched with phonetic practices to strengthen phonemic orthography skills among the visually impaired (VI). Hence, improve the accuracy of spelling in their writings.

IBM MaaS360 being recognized as a leader in yet another UEM research reportŁukasz Piotrowicz
Unified endpoint management may be a new industry term, but MaaS360 is no stranger to the concept – being recognized as a leader in yet another UEM research report.

"Our evaluation has clearly identified IBM Maas360 with Watson as a market value leader for providing a feature-rich product set, outstanding cost-efficiencies, and broad heterogenous support for PCs, mobile devices, wearables, and IoT endpoints."
See why MaaS360 continues to earn top recognition in this exciting new space.

iPad – Executive Dashboard
Development
2. Why Dashboards?
Typical Business Challenges
Disparate processes
Poor visibility into information and key
metrics
Lack of timely, consistent reporting among
executives monitoring business
Technology challenge – multiple
systems/platforms that generate reporting
information
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 2
3. Why Dashboards?
Well designed executive dashboards help you
monitor business performance and key metrics
Eliminates the “clutter” from financial reports,
enabling an executive or management team to
quickly keep a pulse on the business
Enables easy report view and standardization of
management information, simplifying report
digestion and decision making
Easy to distribute across multiple platforms –
iPad is ideal due to interface
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 3
4. iPad Considerations
Planning is important!
Customize dashboard reporting for screen
size
Tap-driven navigation
Bigger fonts and larger objects required
Less is More – key metrics and data. Resist
the urge to include everything!
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 4
5. MS Office For Executive Dashboards?
Numerous applications exist to simplify creation
of dashboards – determining which is best for
your purpose is cumbersome
Microsoft Office provides great tools for
developing and reporting beautifully presented
dashboard information – AND already available
Techniques needed to create quality dashboard
are straight forward and relatively easy to use.
However, they may not be obvious
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 5
6. MS Office For Executive Dashboards?
If you are reasonable proficient in using Excel
and Powerpoint, you can develop a
sophisticated model fairly quickly
The opportunities to leverage this capability
will expand as you work through the process
– very flexible
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 6
7. Getting Started – Steps to Success
Identify project
Define goals and key metrics
– Operational reporting, as well as summary reporting
Build model, review, and refine
Distribution and user adoption
Model maintenance and keeping content
current
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 7
8. Identify Project
Determine data to include in dashboard
reporting?
– Start simple; create executive “buy-in”
Identify audience and key users of
dashboard?
Identify parties responsible for maintaining
and refining dashboards going forward
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 8
9. Define Goals and Key Metrics
Visualize the project
– A brain storming session is great for this
Determine what you want to measure
– Short-term metrics to monitor business?
– Longer term metrics for strategic business
analysis?
What processes need to be put in place?
– Information flow to streamline effort
– This can be a time consuming effort
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 9
10. Build Model, Review, and Refine
Dashboards DO require upfront time to
setup, but, when properly built, require
little maintenance effort
Leverage Excel’s advanced capabilities to
streamline the data and chart updating
Distribute across mobile platforms with ease
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 10
11. Build Model, Review, and Refine
Powerpoint is useful to provide flexibility in
sizing objects and properly arranging and
formatting on a page. Objects should be
linked from Excel and navigation hyperlinks
included for easy iPad use
“Publish” to PDF. Make sure that links “stick”
in final documents
Review and test process – mistakes can
happen!
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 11
12. Dashboard Distribution and User Adoption
Set up a seamless distribution process – cloud
file synchronization services are perfect for this
On mobile platform, user should access files
directly from the device
– GoodReader app works well and we highly
recommend!
Educate users – accessing reports, navigation
and annotation capabilities
User adoption will be greater if it is SIMPLE!
Importance of ease of use cannot be overstated!
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 12
13. Case Study – Panera Bread Co.
Public company – data is largely pulled
directly from the internet (Yahoo, Google
Finance, MSN Money). Web queries can be
used to simplify.
Key company financial data is accumulated
and entered into an Excel spreadsheet - pivot
tables, charts, macros, etc. help simplify
ongoing maintenance effort

23. Dashboards – Key Considerations
Design and proper development is key!
Spend the time up front to do it right.
Distribution to users (Board, executives,
management) can be seamless if received on
the iPad
Update and Review is essential – mapping
errors, etc. may occur.
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 23
24. Dashboards – Key Considerations
Start with a small project to develop and
understand process. Executive buy-in will
lead to bigger wins and fuller understanding
of potential.
Payoff for report users is huge – easy to use,
always available, always current!
2/27/2013 Don Tomoff | iPad – Executive Dashboards 24
25. Dashboards – Last Thoughts...
The example reviewed in this presentation was a public
company, but there are numerous instances where this
process is relevant –
Private company monthly reporting – high level report
containing summary information, key metrics, charts, etc.
Peer analysis review – easily compare and analyze other
companies that operate in your industry. Identify key
performance metrics and compare to your company.
Professional services firms – easily monitor your public
company clients and have updated information always at
your fingertips!
Asset Management firms – easily monitor performance of
key metrics of companies invested in
The potential is significant….
