A simple presentation related to the types of assessment, mainly summative and formative assessment. At the end of this presentation you will be able to differentiate between these two types of assessment.
Assessment is the cash nexus of learning – it is where the payoff is for our students, where all their effort is rewarded with marks or grades.
When we design our assessment, we indicate to our students what is important and what they should focus on. In this presentation, Ann will explore a number of theories that focus on assessment design such as:
Constructive alignment – why aligning what we teach, with the way we teach it, with the way we assess it is important
Supporting learning – how assessment supports learning and how it is central to student learning
Authentic assessment – including the issues of assessment design and workload from the perspective of both students and markers

As technology evolves and becomes more integrated into education, the data trail created by learners is enormous. The analysis of this data referred to as “Learning analytics” drives learning in a cyclical pattern; data is collected, analysed, and interventions are made based on the data. After these interventions, more data is collected and analysed, and additional (perhaps different) interventions are made.
This presentation outlines how the data related to assessments is collected from three different projects within DCU and then analysed with the aim of improving the student learning experience. Each project has two common threads; making life easier for the lecturer and improving the experience of the student.

School improvement efforts rely heavily on quality leadership. Educational leaders are tasked with establishing a collective vision for school improvement and initiating change to spur innovation, ensure student learning, and increase achievement. On July 13th I had the pleasure of hearing Dr. James Strong, from the College of William and Mary, deliver a keynote address at the NJ Department of Education Leadership Institute entitled "Qualities of Effective Principals." Dr. Strong emphasized that the job of a principal, or school leader for that matter, is about making a difference in the lives of children. Leading and teaching is challenging work that requires a high level of understanding and patience.
Teacher Assessment: A Formative Path to Teacher DevelopmentJosé Zapata
In Venezuela, teacher assessment has been always based on the amount of students who pass or fail subjects, but is that a serious teacher performance assessment? Teacher assessment can permit to rethink teacher training and teacher performance, that is, from an analytical perspective that can allow teachers to enhance and improve their skills, capacities and knowledge. In a few words, the objective of this research paper is to demonstrate the importance of evaluating TEFL quality in Venezuela from the pre-service teacher’s perspective to the in-service teacher’s perspective. Therefore, the results of a research done by the author of this paper will be shown in order to demonstrate how important is to evaluate college graduates in TEFL in order to see the strengths and weaknesses of teacher training. This research was done to 14 students of the university UPEL in Maracay, the TEFL Bachelor’s degree, and also to 14 students of the same career and university but in Maturin. This study is based on a field study, which is merely descriptive. Due to this characteristic, the results of the research permitted to analyze the root of the problem of teacher training in ELT at UPEL Maturin.
"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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

ABOUT The Performance Institute
Called “the leading think tank in performance measurement for
government” on OMB’s ExpectMore.gov, The Performance Institute has
been a leader in Performance Management training and policy since the
2000 administration transition. As part of the Government Performance
Coalition, a group of good government organizations, the Institute worked
in 2000 to deliver recommendations to the then new administration on
what would become the President’s Management Agenda.
In 2010, the Institute is leading Innovations in Government: From Transition
to Transformation, or InnoGOV.org, a collection of forums, research
and recommendations to bring insight and transformation to the federal
government. The goal of InnoGOV.org is to centralize the importance
of performance, accountability and transparency in government and to
disseminate the leading best practices to government managers.
The Performance Institute has published several research reports regarding
performance management initiatives and trains over 10,000 government
managers per year on performance-based topics. Dedicated to improving
citizen services and taxpayer transparency, the Institute uses a best-
practices foundation to deliver the most effective and tested methodologies
for improving performance.
