A Survey on Autism Spectrum Disorder and E-Learningrahulmonikasharma
Autism or mental imbalance is turmoil in the development and improvement of a mind or central nervous system that covers a huge range of skills, impairment and symptoms. The children who are experiencing autism (or mental imbalance) confront challenges in conveying and adjusting in the group as they experience difficulty in understanding what others feel and think. These days learning innovations changed instructive frameworks with amazing advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Moreover, when these innovations are accessible, reasonable and available, they speak to more than a change for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In this paper, a writing study and foundation study is done on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and E-Learning System for Autism Children.

Working Successfully with Emerging Technologies and InnovationsEDUCAUSE
Continuously innovating and transforming our current practices is critical to keep pace with teaching and learning as it evolves. While there is no shortage of candidate innovations, the process by which to discover them, to select them for pilots, and to consider full-scale implementation, can be challenging. How should incubator models be structured? What should be the goals of innovation within our technology portfolios? How should we select technologies to pilot? What processes or rubrics are effective in pilots? Resources: http://tinyurl.com/goodpilot

Slides used during talk given at Fordham University:
In a world where technology is changing faster than ever it's important not to just keep up with what's currently available, but to be thinking ahead. The New Media Consortium just released their 2013 Horizon Project Short List report that includes 12 coming technology trends in higher education. During the LearnIT, we discussed 6 of the top trends (additional slides to follow).
The Future of Digital Textbooks, Tools of Change, 2010John Warren
Technology is driving change in education as it is in publishing. Distance education has become more common in higher education; universities are putting podcasts, texts, and entire courses online. The spiraling cost of textbooks is rendering higher education unaffordable to many students, particularly in community colleges, where textbook costs often exceed tuition. In the K-12 market, digital textbooks have been making inroads into the classroom; a California initiative aims to replace many high school science and math texts with free, “open source” digital versions, while the new Democratic Leadership Council has proposed a “Kindle in Every Backpack.” While some may think of a digital textbook merely an electronic image of a paper product, others have employed the electronic format in broadening the spectrum of learning. This session examines the emerging future of digital textbooks, including open access; subscriptions; texts bundled with online study resources; innovative texts that include multimedia, simulation models, automated assessments; and business models that will allow publishers to survive and thrive in the future.
This is about the challenges faced by teacher in the scenario of onslaught by digital environment. One needs to tackle it by being sensitive to the needs of the hour and also by properly embracing the technology.
Mentoring for Today’s Generation(s) at Scale: Virtual and Face-to-FaceEDUCAUSE
Mentoring relationships come in many forms--online, in-person, short- and long-term, peer- to-peer, and situational. We'll review mentoring in a multi-generational workforce and explore two mentoring models that can be adapted to fit your organization and serve professionals at various career stages. Model 1 is an international virtual mentoring program that uses data analytics to match participants and digital badging to recognize mentor/mentee achievements. Model 2 uses a just-in-time, conference-centered approach to connecting professionals across career stages. For each model, we'll discuss benefits and barriers and action steps for launching mentoring initiatives that support diverse learners.
Join us if you're attending the annual meeting for the first time, want an inside look at the meeting program, or want to provide input into ELI’s future programmatic directions. We’ll discuss how to find sessions that fit your interests, explore innovations and new ideas in the 2018 experience, and review activities you won’t want to miss. You’ll also learn about the ways to become engaged with ELI's community, publications, and events, as well as provide input about how we can better support you and your work.
This presentation addresses student technology ownership patterns and preferences, hybrid learning models, as well as innovations/developments in microlearning, collaborative learning, and microcredentialing.
Higher education institutions across the country are implementing digital badges and credentials to guide, motivate, document, and validate formal and informal student learning. Today’s credentials include digital badges and micro-credentials that open new doors for adult learners toward quick wins for career development and add value with visual recognition for accomplishments. Digital badging provides a digital transcript that highlights a learning narrative that makes competencies, accomplishments, and connections more visible. During this session, you’ll learn how digital badging supports learning and motivates students to progress through their courses, programs, and new educational models. We’ll also discuss the types of data that are available to determine the success of your badging initiative.

3 Emerging Strategies to Advance Professional Learning in Digital EnvironmentsEDUCAUSE
Professional learning is changing rapidly as digital environments further expand knowledge exchange across time, distance, and devices. In this session we’ll explore microlearning, microcredentialing, and new digital learning designs and how advancements in these areas support professional growth, network development, and social learning. 2016 research in each of these areas will be shared that participants can use to benchmark and further evolve their organization’s digital professional learning plans.
Emerging Strategies to Leverage Disruptive Education TechnologiesEDUCAUSE
The world of education is changing rapidly as the new emerging power of the ‘sharing economy’ is about open knowledge exchange across time and distance, particularly through mobile devices. Technology continues to alter how we engage with what we are learning, how we collaborate and interact, and how we manage the overwhelming amount of information available to us. Our postmodern learning tools are being fashioned to work the same way that social networks are evolving. This decentralization of the knowledge base, emergence of new and disruptive technologies, and expectations of a personalized user experience puts pressure on the association community if they are not preparing for the future.
Toward Student Engagement and Recognition: Developing a Digital Badge Roadmap EDUCAUSE
Higher education institutions are experimenting with the use of digital badges to guide, motivate, document, and validate formal and informal student learning. Digital badging, accompanied with interactive learning designs, provides a digital transcript that highlights a learning narrative that makes competencies, accomplishments, and connections more visible. In this presentation, you’ll learn how digital badging supports learning and motivates students to progress through their courses and programs. The presentation reviews all the components of a badging initiative, but will have participants identify badge components, sketch out their badge constellation, and develop an assessment strategy within the context of a course.
Mobile Teaching And Learning: Engaging Students And Measuring ImpactEDUCAUSE
The ELI’s research on mobile learning brings together a collection of best practices, case studies, and research on mobile technologies’ potential to engage students and enhance learning. Using your own local mobile learning initiatives or pilots, we’ll review and apply strategies and methodologies to help measure the impact of mobile tools on teaching and learning. As we review these approaches and measurement frameworks, participants will consider their challenges/opportunities in these areas and what research might be useful to advance their mobility work. This talk is part of the BNN Future of the Academy Speaker Series co-sponsored by NERCOMP, the National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE), and the Boston Library Consortium (BLC).
The MOOC in Review: Contributions to Teaching and LearningEDUCAUSE
Over the past year, the massive open online course (MOOC) has emerged as a significantly different course model. So, what we have learned about the MOOC and its potential to support learning? In this session I’ll review examples of how the MOOC is being utilized along with several related issues: implementation and deployment approaches; student success data; MOOC innovations; financial models; connections to traditional programs; and future developments.

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).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

50. Reasons for Purchasing eBooks 14% of students have purchased a digital product as part of their studies Price is the primary factor Only way to obtain the textbook [out of stock, preference by the professor, custom PDF type eBook that the professor created for sale]. 18% of students who purchased an eBook did so because they enjoy the features 10% of students who purchased an eBook did so because they had never used one and were curious
51. Improved Performance or Efficiency Being able to search for a particular word or phrase in the textbook has improved my efficiency in studying. I use my laptop extensively and take notes on it, so having a copy of the book on my laptop at all times helped me work on my class work whenever I want without having to worry about whether or not I have the book with me. No 10-lb book to carry around = epic win. Top 5 Current Features, as rated by students: Reading Controls (paging, zoom…) Finding terms in a book Creating Highlights and Annotations Reviewing previously created Highlight and Annotations Managing your Digital Library

59. Overall Research Conclusions Given the opportunity, students are willing to experiment with reading and studying digitally. When students do read and study digitally, results indicate that they find it as effective or more effective than studying with the physical book. When students do read and study digitally, their responses to usability of features shows that their expectations are high. Expect basic features to be as good as print experience (e.g., notes and annotations.) Also, expect that there are compelling features that go beyond what is feasible in the physical book experience (e.g., tags across notes, organizational capabilities.)
60. Conclusions E-Reading in higher education is more about e-studying than e-reading. Evaluate solutions on the entire ecosystem Hardware , e-Reading/Study Software Available Content Tablets and portable devices are currently satellites to a PC/Mac base. This will change over time. Constantly poll your students and faculty. Don’t over commit--this is going to be a longer transition than other digital media.
61. Future Trends As portable and tablet capabilities improve, so will their ability to support e-textbook content/platforms. Content trends Increase in smaller and specialized content Increase in multimedia content New distribution models including subscriptions, open source content, and institutionally-developed. There will be a blurring of lines between ereaders, LMS, and internet resources.
