"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

and every graduate a success.
TargetX Vision
4. What are we doing here?
What we WILL be doing:
● Retention and Student Success
Writ Large
● A little about tools, a lot about
stories
● Starting something bigger
What we WON’T be doing:
● Limiting our conversation to
TargetX products
● Leaving without practical
resources & next steps
● Solving the Retention Problem
12. Terminology
Student Success
An educational institution’s
efforts to keep students on
target toward completion of
their educational goal More than just degree completion
More common at community colleges
14. Terminology
Attrition
The rate of departure of
students from an educational
institution
Emphasis is on the student instead
of the institution
Negatively framed
16. History of Retention Theory
● Through mid-20th century:
○ Student attrition was explained based on individual student
characteristics.
● Starting in the 1970s:
○ Theoretical models began to be used to understand and explain retention
systemically.
17. Three Theoretical Models of Retention
Attrition as voluntary withdrawal
● William Spady
● Dropouts from Higher Education: Toward an
Empirical Model, 1971
● Drawn from sociological theory (Emile Durkheim)
● Failure to assimilate to a given community can lead
an individual to voluntarily withdraw
18. Three Theoretical Models of Retention - #2
Integration into educational
community as rite of passage
● Vincent Tinto
● Leaving College: Rethinking Causes and Cures of
Student Attrition, 1987.
● Rooted in social anthropology (Van Gennep)
● Three stages: Separation, Transition, Incorporation
● Most applicable to traditional student's first
introduction to college
19. Three Theoretical Models of Retention - #3
Student satisfaction as predictor of
retention
● John P. Bean
● Rooted in human resources theories around
employee turnover in the workplace
● Satisfaction based on many factors - not just
superficial
20. Late 20th Century into Early 21st Century
● Retention research began addressing different issues and topics:
○ Diverse student populations
○ Different types of institutions
○ New learning modalities
○ Different role higher education was playing into the greater landscape
● No single model captures the complexity of retention
21. “For years, our prevailing view of student retention
has been shaped by theories that view
student retention through the lens of institutional action
and ask what institutions can do to retain their students.
Students, however, do not seek to be retained.
They seek to persist.
The two perspectives, although necessarily related, are not the
same. Their interests are different.”
Vincent Tinto, “Through the Eyes of Students,”
Journal of College Student Retention, 2015.
23. Factors Influencing
Persistence
● Most frequently identified factor contributing
to student persistence
● Defined as students seeing themselves as a
member of a community of faculty, staff, and
other students who value their participation,
that they matter and belong
● Related to engagement - but more important is
the students’ perception of their engagement
Sense of Belonging
24. Self-Efficacy
● A person’s belief in their ability to succeed
in a specific situation or at a specific task
● Not related to actual ability
● Self-efficacy is learned, not inherited
● Students’ belief in their capacity to succeed
must be built, reinforced, and maintained
throughout their educational journey
Factors Influencing
Persistence
25. Educational Goals
● Students’ educational goals are both related to
institution and beyond
● Helping students gain clarity over their
educational goals can aid in their persistence
● May change over time - education is formative
● Student Journeys - session tomorrow at 9am
Factors Influencing
Persistence
26. Perception of Curriculum
● Students ask themselves, "Is the curriculum
valuable for me to spend my time on?
● Reflects day-to-day participation and beyond
credential
● Curriculum communicates not just a collection of
facts but a collection of values that determine
what is presented and how it is presented in the
classroom
Factors Influencing
Persistence
27. Student Satisfaction
● Are students pleased with the product they've
acquired?
● Goes beyond superficial things like amenities
● Motivators vs Hygiene Factors
○ Motivators - produce satisfaction
○ Hygiene Factors - diminish dissatisfaction
● The opposite of satisfaction is not dissatisfaction -
it's the absence of satisfaction
Factors Influencing
Persistence
