Higher education: harness the power of cloudAngela Gardner
In order to retain and recruit
students, higher education
institutions must position themselves
as experts in the learning network
and find more cost-effective ways
to implement IT services. It is time
to take the financial and structural
pressure off of college IT staff by
steering away from the burdensome
cost of maintenance and upgrades,
long lead times for infrastructure
improvements and incompatibilities
between systems and tools.
Moving a system to the cloud can
reduce the cost of ownership by
20 percent. Federal agencies have
already reduced their operating costs
by 30 percent.5 Colleges can expect
to see similar results. The cloud also
allows institutions to pay for what
they use versus building capacities
that are largely unexploited.

Paul McKean - Jisc - Building digital capability Arkin Buhara
This document discusses building digital capabilities in further education. It notes that digital literacies have become an important priority and providers want help identifying digital skills needs, gaps, and initiatives to improve skills. The document outlines elements of a proposed digital capability service, including diagnostic tools, leadership development, and online courses. It also discusses a workshop to raise awareness of preventing radicalization. Finally, it covers enhancing learners' digital experiences, including considering their expectations and needs regarding technology and gathering intelligence from learners.
The findings, drawn from a larger study, are based on interviews with students. They were a mix of ages and most were working.
Most students said they took online courses because of the flexible schedule, and some older students said they preferred a virtual classroom because they didn’t have to interact with their younger classmates.
But most said they missed the personal back-and-forth of the classroom.
Models for unbundling university learning and teaching provisionNeil Morris
The document discusses the concept of "unbundling" in higher education, where educational services are disaggregated and potentially delivered by multiple providers. It examines how unbundling is occurring through online education models in the UK and South Africa. Key findings include private companies prioritizing university rankings and building partnerships focused on new markets, while students prefer on-campus learning for social and networking benefits. The research aims to understand different stakeholder perspectives on unbundling and how it intersects with digital technologies and potential inequalities in provision.

This document discusses learner centered environments in distance education. It provides an overview of topics like the target learner, management and administration of distance education, relevant technologies, and the business of education. It presents evidence on the growth of online enrollments in higher education using statistics. Finally, it discusses some challenges of implementing distance education and concludes that adopting a learner centered approach requires systems thinking, openness to new approaches, understanding differentiators, and questioning suitability.
The document discusses Lambda School, an online coding school that uses an income sharing agreement (ISA) model where students pay tuition only after getting a job. It provides summaries of the school's business model, competitive landscape, revenue analysis, risks, and future opportunities. The school offers courses in web development, iOS development, UX design, data science, Android development and aims to address challenges in online education such as high costs and unclear career outcomes.
Online education is a type of educational instruction delivered via the internet to students using home computers. It relies on internet interaction between teachers and students and distribution of class materials. Online degrees and courses have become a popular alternative for non-traditional students who want to continue working full-time. A high quality online degree should not differ fundamentally from a campus-based degree except for the delivery method of classes. Online education programs can be fully online, hybrid, or include online courses and are offered for popular subjects like business, nursing, criminal justice and more.
The document summarizes key findings from the 2012 Speak Up national research project conducted by Project Tomorrow. Over 466,000 K-12 students, teachers, parents, and administrators provided input on technology use and online learning. Key findings include a growing demand for online and blended learning opportunities that is outpacing supply, with parents and students expecting more flexible options. While administrators see benefits, concerns around quality and teacher engagement remain barriers. The presentation calls for rethinking models of teaching and learning to better incorporate online and blended approaches.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
