The power of animation and video in transforming student learningJennifer Keenahan
The document discusses how Dr. Kevin Nolan and others at University College Dublin (UCD) are using animation and video to improve student learning. Dr. Nolan created interactive lecture notes using animations to illustrate complex fluid mechanics concepts. His training on animation tools helped a student create a thesis project animating statistical modeling. Dr. Nolan and Mairéad O'Reilly received funding to develop animation and video production training for educators to support online learning during COVID-19. The courses helped Jennifer Keenahan create animations depicting wind interactions with bridges for her teaching.
The document discusses challenges and solutions for integrating technology successfully in the language classroom. It emphasizes having realistic expectations for how technology can support rather than replace instruction. Teachers should define clear learning objectives and select technologies that enhance their teaching rather than feeling pressured to use technology for its own sake. While technology offers opportunities, its complexity should not be underestimated and negative impacts can result from poor integration. Learning activities should blend technology with sound pedagogy by creating engaging tasks that go beyond drill. Sufficient training is needed to support teachers' effective use of technology and content integration may take time to see results.

Software development from the results of this research is not only beneficial for educational institutions but also for personal or specific institutions and institutions who want to conduct seminars, presentations, or other activities that involve many audiences. The advantage is that the audience will not experience problems such as when using an LCD projector, such as limited visibility, location or space, and the viewpoint of the audience on the Projectors. This research can be the answer to the need for using LCD projectors that often occur in the process of education, meetings, or seminars that continue to increase every time. Also, the lack of LCD compared to the number of teaching needs in each class and the unstable electricity conditions and the low electricity ratio in East Nusa Tenggara, so that makes the device LCD vulnerable to damage.

Investing in GenAI: Cost‑benefit analysis of Dell on‑premises deployments vs....Principled Technologies
Conclusion
Diving into the world of GenAI has the potential to yield a great many benefits for your organization, but it first requires consideration for how best to implement those GenAI workloads. Whether your AI goals are to create a chatbot for online visitors, generate marketing materials, aid troubleshooting, or something else, implementing an AI solution requires careful planning and decision-making. A major decision is whether to host GenAI in the cloud or keep your data on premises. Traditional on-premises solutions can provide superior security and control, a substantial concern when dealing with large amounts of potentially sensitive data. But will supporting a GenAI solution on site be a drain on an organization’s IT budget?
In our research, we found that the value proposition is just the opposite: Hosting GenAI workloads on premises, either in a traditional Dell solution or using a managed Dell APEX pay-per-use solution, could significantly lower your GenAI costs over 3 years compared to hosting these workloads in the cloud. In fact, we found that a comparable AWS SageMaker solution would cost up to 3.8 times as much and an Azure ML solution would cost up to 3.6 times as much as GenAI on a Dell APEX pay-per-use solution. These results show that organizations looking to implement GenAI and reap the business benefits to come can find many advantages in an on-premises Dell solution, whether they opt to purchase and manage it themselves or choose a subscription-based Dell APEX pay-per-use solution. Choosing an on-premises Dell solution could save your organization significantly over hosting GenAI in the cloud, while giving you control over the security and privacy of your data as well as any updates and changes to the environment, and while ensuring your environment is managed consistently.

In three AI development workflows, Intel processor-powered workstations delivered strong performance, without using their GPUs, making them a good choice for this part of the AI process
Conclusion
We executed three AI development workflows on tower workstations and mobile workstations from three vendors, with each workflow utilizing only the Intel CPU cores, and found that these platforms were suitable for carrying out various AI tasks. For two of the workflows, we learned that completing the tasks on the tower workstations took roughly half as much time as on the mobile workstations. This supports the idea that the tower workstations would be appropriate for a development environment for more complex models with a greater volume of data and that the mobile workstations would be well-suited for data scientists fine-tuning simpler models. In the third workflow, we explored tower workstation performance with different precision levels and learned that using 16-bit floating point precision allowed the workstations to execute the workflow in less time and also reduced memory usage dramatically. For all three AI workflows we executed, we consider the time the workstations needed to complete the tasks to be acceptable, and believe that these workstations can be appropriate, cost-effective choices for these kinds of activities.

You’ve likely already implemented many security measures for your servers, which may include physical security for the data center, hardware-level security, and software-level security. With the cost of data breaches high and still growing, however, wise IT teams will consider what additional security measures they may be able to implement.
AMD SME and SEV-ES are technologies that are already available within your AMD processor-powered 16th Generation Dell PowerEdge servers—and in our testing, we saw that they can offer extra layers of security without affecting performance. We compared the online transaction processing performance of a Dell PowerEdge R7625 server, powered by AMD EPYC 9274F processors, with and without these two security features enabled. We found that enabling AMD Secure Memory Encryption and Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Encrypted State did not impact performance at all.
If your team is assessing areas where you might be able to enhance security—without paying a large performance cost—consider enabling AME SME and AMD SEV-ES in your Dell PowerEdge servers.

In high-temperature test scenarios, a Dell PowerEdge HS5620 server continued running an intensive workload without component warnings or failures, while a Supermicro SYS‑621C-TN12R server failed
Conclusion: Remain resilient in high temperatures with the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 to help increase efficiency
Increasing your data center’s temperature can help your organization make strides in energy efficiency and cooling cost savings. With servers that can hold up to these higher everyday temperatures—as well as high temperatures due to unforeseen circumstances—your business can continue to deliver the performance your apps and clients require.
When we ran an intensive floating-point workload on a Dell PowerEdge HS5620 and a Supermicro SYS-621CTN12R in three scenario types simulating typical operations at 25°C, a fan failure, and an HVAC malfunction, the Dell server experienced no component warnings or failures. In contrast, the Supermicro server experienced warnings in all three scenario types and experienced component failures in the latter two tests, rendering the system unusable. When we inspected and analyzed each system, we found that the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 server’s motherboard layout, fans, and chassis offered cooling design advantages.
For businesses aiming to meet sustainability goals by running hotter data centers, as well as those concerned with server cooling design, the Dell PowerEdge HS5620 is a strong contender to take on higher temperatures during day-to-day operations and unexpected malfunctions.

Three AMD EPYC processor-based two-processor solutions outshined comparable Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based solutions by handling more Redis workload transactions and requests while consuming less power
Conclusion
Performance and energy efficiency are significant factors in processor selection for servers running data-intensive workloads, such as Redis. We compared the Redis performance and energy consumption of a server cluster in three AMD EPYC two-processor configurations against that of a server cluster in two Intel Xeon Scalable two-processor configurations. In each of our three test scenarios, the server cluster backed by AMD EPYC processors outperformed the server cluster backed by Intel Xeon Scalable processors. In addition, one of the AMD EPYC processor-based clusters consumed 20 percent less power than its Intel Xeon Scalable processor-based counterpart. Combining these measurements gave us power efficiency metrics that demonstrate how valuable AMD EPYC processor-based servers could be—you could see better performance per watt with these AMD EPYC processor-based server clusters and potentially get more from your Redis or other data intensive applications and workloads while reducing data center power costs.

We deployed this modern environment, then migrated database VMs from legacy servers and saw performance improvements that support consolidation
Conclusion
If your organization’s transactional databases are running on gear that is several years old, you have much to gain by upgrading to modern servers with new processors and networking components and an OpenShift environment. In our testing, a modern OpenShift environment with a cluster of three Dell PowerEdge R7615 servers with 4th Generation AMD EPYC processors and high-speed 100Gb Broadcom NICs outperformed a legacy environment with MySQL VMs running on a cluster of three Dell PowerEdge R7515 servers with 3rd Generation AMD EPYC processors and 25Gb Broadcom NICs. We also easily migrated a VM from the legacy environment to the modern environment, with only a few steps required to set up and less than ten minutes of hands-on time. The performance advantage of the modern servers would allow a company to reduce the number of servers necessary to perform a given amount of database work, thus lowering operational expenditures such as power and cooling and IT staff time for maintenance. The high-speed 100Gb Broadcom NICs in this solution also give companies better network performance and networking capacity to grow as they embrace emerging technologies such as AI that put great demands on networks.

Compared to a cluster of PowerEdge R750 servers running VMware Cloud Foundation 4.5
Conclusion
If your company is struggling with underperforming infrastructure, upgrading to 16th Generation Dell PowerEdge servers running VCF 5.1 could be just what you need to handle more database throughput and reduce vSAN latencies. We found that a Dell PowerEdge R760 server cluster running VCF 5.1 processed over 78 percent more TPM and 79 percent more NOPM than a Dell PowerEdge R750 server cluster running VCF 4.5. It’s also worth noting that the PowerEdge R750 cluster bottlenecked on vSAN storage, with max write latency at 8.9ms. For reference, the PowerEdge R760 cluster clocked in at 3.8ms max write latency. This higher latency is due in part to the single disk group per host on the moderately configured PowerEdge R750 cluster, while the better-configured PowerEdge R760 cluster supported four disk groups per host. As an additional benefit to IT admins, we also found that the embedded VMware Aria Operation adapter provided useful infrastructure insights.
Based on our research using publicly available materials, it appears that Dell supports nine of the ten PC security features we investigated, HP supports six of them, and Lenovo supports three features.

1. Provide your students and faculty
with faster Chromebooks
A Dell Chromebook powered by an Intel Celeron N4000 processor
completed tasks in education apps faster than a Chromebook with an
AMD processor as well as one with a MediaTek processor*
At Principled Technologies, we performed tasks in educational apps using three different Chromebooks:
• Dell Chromebook 3100 powered by an Intel Celeron N4000 processor
• HP Chromebook 11A G6 EE with an AMD A4-9120C processor
• Lenovo 100e Chromebook (2nd Gen) with a MediaTek 8173C processor
We found that the Intel Celeron N4000 processor-powered Dell Chromebook 3100 saved time during
several tasks. We also found that the Dell Chromebook 3100 had a longer battery life than either of the
other Chromebooks.*
Time is a precious resource for teachers and students alike. Teachers must plan for upwards of seven classes
and keep up with the progress of dozens of students each day. Students have their work cut out for them too—
having to take those classes and complete hours of in-class assignments and homework each day. Because they
have so much to do, teachers and students would greatly benefit from technology that saves them time.

2. Chromebooks in the computer
science classroom
Lovelace Middle School recently invested
in new Dell Chromebook 3100 devices
powered by Intel Celeron N4000 processors,
and Amy Sands’ digital technology classes
are among the first to try them out. Ms.
Sands has the perfect use in mind—a huge
class project that will teach the kids tons
about coding and multimedia applications,
with the potential to help change the school
for the better.
Today, Ms. Sands is putting the finishing
touches on her class materials, grateful for
the school’s new Dell Chromebook 3100
fleet. As her weekly planning session draws
to a close, Ms. Sands exports the video
presentation explaining the new project and
manages to put away her Chromebook just
in time for class.
Teachers: Complete planning
tasks in less time
With limited (and sometimes nonexistent)
planning periods, teachers need to make the
most of the time they have for creating lesson
plans and class materials. Teachers that use
faster technologies may be more productive in
this regard. In our tests, the Dell Chromebook
3100 powered by an Intel Celeron N4000
processor saved time on tasks in the popular
classroom instruction app Explain Everything.
For example, when exporting a presentation
video, the Dell Chromebook saved 1 minute,
17 seconds over an HP Chromebook powered
by an AMD A4-9120C processor and 46
seconds over a MediaTek processor-powered
Chromebook from Lenovo.*
Explain Everything
Explain Everything is an interactive whiteboard app where teachers and
students can collaborate in real time.1

4. Complete tasks in multimedia
apps in less time
Multimedia applications are often among the
most resource-intensive computing tasks. For
students or faculty who need to edit video and
audio, or explore and create 3D models, investing
in an Intel Celeron N4000 processor-powered
Dell Chromebook 3100 could present significant
time savings. For example, the Dell Chromebook
saved nearly three minutes on rendering a one-
minute video compared to the MediaTek 8173C
processor-powered Chromebook from Lenovo,
and it saved more than 30 seconds compared
to the AMD A4-9120C processor-powered
Chromebook from HP.*
Soundtrap®
Soundtrap is a web application for creating digital audio
works such as music, podcasts, language studies, and more.10
According to Soundtrap, more than 10,000 teachers worldwide
trust their educational program.11
Tinkercad

design.12
Common Sense Education®
gave Tinkercad a 4/5-star
rating, enthusiastic about the app’s pedagogical implications.13

CNET, and more, the WeVideo Video Editor enables users
to create beautiful videos and share them with the world.8
In
February 2018, the Video Editor app earned the distinction of
an Android Excellence App.9
Students in the multimedia class are excited to work with
the computer science students on their sustainability
project. The apps they use for class, such as Soundtrap,
WeVideo Video Editor, and Tinkercad all run quickly,
enabling the students to iterate on their video drafts
frequently and with minimal hassle.

5. Battery life
We used the power_LoadTest extension
from Google to estimate the battery life
for the three Chromebook systems in this
report. In our tests, the Intel Celeron N4000
processor-powered Dell Chromebook 3100
had a significantly longer battery life at an
estimated 12 hours, 30 minutes compared
to 7 hours, 8 minutes for the AMD A4-9120C
processor-powered Chromebook and 9
hours, 4 minutes for the MediaTek 8173C
processor-powered Chromebook.*
The
amount of time you can go between charges
can vary based on a number of factors,
but our results suggest students would be
able to get more mileage out of their Dell
Chromebook 3100 devices. This could
be useful for outdoor classroom activities
or field trips where power outlets are in
short supply.
Ms. Sands takes her multimedia class on a trip around
the school to help the students scout locations for
their sustainability videos. Even though some of the
Chromebooks haven’t gotten a chance to recharge
since last period, she’s confident the long battery life
of the Intel Celeron N4000 processor-powered Dell
Chromebooks will get them through the day.

6. Conclusion
Investing in student success means supplying
classrooms with resources they need to work and
create efficiently. In our tests, an Intel Celeron
N4000 processor-powered Dell Chromebook
3100 completed tasks in several education apps
faster than two Chromebooks based on the
AMD A4-9120C processor and the MediaTek
8173C processor.*
We also found that the Dell
Chromebook 3100 had a significantly longer
battery life compared to the other devices
at an estimated 12 hours and 30 minutes of
normal use.*
Two months later and the projects are in! Each group
of students presents their app and video in class,
where the school’s principal sits to admire all the hard
work that went into the sustainability apps. It’s clear
that the Intel Celeron N4000 processor-powered Dell
Chromebooks were a great investment. And after each
group has presented, the students have made a case for
investing in the school’s sustainability efforts as well.

Battery Life Testing
We used Google’s power_LoadTest Chrome extension to estimate battery life. After installing the extension, we charged each device to
100% battery, and clicked the extension icon to begin the test. After an hour passed and the test completed, we recorded the battery life.
To calculate the estimated battery life, we used the following formula: 100 / (battery_%_start - battery_%_end). We performed the following
steps to complete testing:
1. Download the power_LoadTest extension and untar the package to a folder on the Chromebook: https://chromium.googlesource.com/
chromiumos/third_party/autotest/+/refs/heads/master/client/site_tests/power_LoadTest/README.md
2. Navigate to chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode.
3. Click Load unpacked extension.
4. Choose the power_LoadTest extension folder.
5. Restart each device.
6. Wait until each device is fully charged. Before testing, unplug the devices.
7. Open a Chrome browser, and click the power_LoadTest extension icon to start the test.
8. When the test completes, note the percent charge remaining.
