This document summarizes key aspects of multimedia learning based on Richard Mayer's cognitive theory of multimedia learning. It discusses how people learn better from words and pictures rather than words alone, and learn best when corresponding words and pictures are presented near each other. The document also outlines two approaches to multimedia design - technology-centered and learner-centered. It describes assumptions of the cognitive theory, including that humans have separate auditory and visual channels and limited capacity in each.

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).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

24. Bicycle tire pumps vary in the number and location of the valves they have and in the way air enters the cylinder. Some simple tire pumps have the inlet valve on the piston and the outlet valve at the closed end of the cylinder. A bicycle tire pump has a piston that moves up and down. Air enters the pump near the point where the connecting rod passes through the cylinder. As the rod is pulled out, air passes through the piston and fills the area between the piston and the outlet valve. As the rod is pushed in, the inlet valve closes and the piston forces air through the outlet valve. [italics added]

31. When the surface of the earth is warm, moist air near the earth’s surface becomes heated and rises rapidly, producing an updraft. As the air in these updrafts cools, water vapor condenses into water droplets and forms a cloud. The cloud’s top extends above the freezing level. At this altitude, the air temperature is well below freezing, so the upper portion of the cloud is composed of tiny ice crystals. Eventually, the water droplets and ice crystals in the cloud become too large to be suspended by updrafts. As raindrops and ice crystals fall through the cloud, they drag some of the air from the cloud downward, producing downdrafts. The rising and falling air currents within the cloud may cause hailstones to form. When downdrafts strike the ground, they spread out in all directions, producing gusts of cool wind people feel just before the start of the rain. Within the cloud, the moving air causes electrical charges to build, although scientists do not fully understand how it occurs. Most believe that the charge results from the collision of the cloud’s light, rising water droplets and tiny pieces of ice against hail and other heavier, falling particles. The negatively charged particles fall to the bottom of the cloud, and most of the positively charged particles rise to the top. The first stroke of a cloud-to-ground lightning flash is started by a stepped leader. Many scientists believe that it is triggered by a spark between the areas of positive and negative charges within the cloud. A stepped leader moves downward in a series of steps, each of which is about 50-yards long, and lasts for about 1 millionth of a second. It pauses between steps for about 50 millionths of a second. As the stepped leader nears the ground, positively charged upward-moving leaders travel up from such objects as trees and buildings, to meet the negative charges. Usually, the upward moving leader from the tallest object is the first to meet the stepped leader and complete a path between the cloud and earth. The two leaders generally meet about 165-feet above the ground. Negatively charged particles then rush from the cloud to the ground along the path created by the leaders. It is not very bright and usually has many branches. As the stepped leader nears the ground, it induces an opposite charge, so positively charged particles from the ground rush upward along the same path. This upward motion of the current is the return stoke and it reaches the cloud in about 70 microseconds. The return stoke produces the bright light that people notice in a flash of lightning, but the current moves so quickly that its upward motion cannot be perceived. The lightning flash usually consists of an electrical potential of hundreds of millions of volts. The air along the lightning channel is heated briefly to a very high temperature. Such intense heating causes the air to expand explosively, producing a sound wave we call thunder.

48. There are three phases in respiration: inhaling, exchanging, and exhaling. During inhaling the [your] diaphragm moves down creating more space for the [your] lungs, air enters through the [your] nose or mouth, moves down through the [your] throat and bronchial tubes to tiny air sacs in the [your] lungs. During exchange, oxygen moves from the [your] air sacs to the bloodstream running nearby, and carbon dioxide moves from the bloodstream to the [your] air sacs. During exhaling, the [your] diaphragm moves up creating less room for the [your] lungs, air travels through the [your] bronchial tubes and throat to the [your] nose and mouth where it leaves the [your] body.

60. Research-Based Principles for the Design of Multimedia Messages Multimedia principle: People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone. (9 of 9; ES = 1.50)
61. Segmenting principle: People learn better when a multimedia lesson is presented in learner-paced segments rather than as a continuous unit. (3 of 3; ES = 1.13) Pre-training principle : People learn better from a multimedia lesson when they know the names and characteristics of the main concepts. (5 of 5; ES = 0.85) Modality principle: People learn better from animation and narration than from animation and on-screen text. (15 of 15; ES = 1.02) Research-Based Principles for the Design of Multimedia Messages: Principles for Managing Essential Processing
62. Research-Based Principles for the Design of Multimedia Messages: Principles for Reducing Extraneous Processing Coherence principle: People learn better when extraneous words, pictures, and sounds are excluded rather than included. (11 of 11; ES = 1.32) Redundancy principle: People learn better from animation and narration than from animation, narration, and on on-screen text. (5 of 5; ES = 0.72) Signaling principle: People learn better when the words include cues about the organization of the presentation. (3 of 3; ES = 0.60) Spatial contiguity principle: People learn better when corresponding words and pictures are presented near rather than far from each other on the page or screen. (5 of 5; ES = 1.12) Temporal contiguity principle: People learn better when corresponding words and pictures are presented simultaneously rather than successively. (8 of 8; ES = 1.31)
63. Research-Based Principles for the Design of Multimedia Messages: Principles Based on Social Cues Personalization principle: People learn better when the words are in conversational style rather than formal style (10 of 10; ES = 1.30) Voice principle : People learn better when words are spoken in a standard-accented human voice than in a machine voice or foreign-accented human voice (4 of 4; ES = 0.79) Image principle : People do not necessarily learn better from a multimedia lesson when the speaker’s image is added to the screen (8 of 8; ES = 0.22)
64. One Last Principle Individual differences principle: Design effects are stronger for low-knowledge learners than for high-knowledge learners. (4 of 4, ES = 0.80) Design effects are stronger for high-spatial learners than for low-spatial learners. (2 of 2; ES = 1.13)
65. Conclusions About the Design of Multimedia Learning 1. Theory-based. The design of multimedia messages should be based on a theory of how the human mind works. 2. Research-based. The design of multimedia messages should be based on research findings. Bottom line: People learn better when multimedia messages are designed in ways that are consistent with how the human mind works and with research-based principles.
