The document discusses Julian Coultas' presentation on mobile learning using Apple devices like iPods and iPads. It covers the functionality of these devices for educational uses like ebooks, cameras, and apps. It also discusses managing devices through carts, syncing, and profiles. Mobile devices are positioned as replacements for computer labs and enabling new forms of active, portable learning.
You’ve used all the server-side caching tricks in the book: memcache, APC, database cache and so on to squeeze every millisecond out, and now your site is as fast as it will ever get. Well guess again!
These technologies are caching and creating the HTML which, if they done correctly, is only 10 – 20% of the user response time, so there is a lot of room for improvement. Learn how to optimize your JavaScript, CSS, Images, Cookies and a whole slew of other things that make frontend caching a magical place.
Many services / applications now a day are ill equipped with handling a sudden rush of popularity, as is often the case on the internet now a days, to a point where the services either become unavailable or unbearably slow.
By taking a chapter from the ant colonies in the wild, where their strength lies in their numbers and the fact that everyone works together towards the same goal, we can apply the same principle to our service by using systems such as
- gearman
- memcache
- daemons
- message queues
- load balancers
and many more, you can achieve greater performance, more redundancy, higher availability and have the ability to scale your services up and down as required easily.
During this talk attendees will be lead through the world of distributed systems and scalability, and shown the how, where and what, of how to take the average application and splitting it into smaller more manageable pieces

Have a High-Impact, Low-Budget Website Now!
March 2, 2011
All museums need a website but not all museums have the big budget to hire IT staff or design companies. Fortunately, it is easier than ever to create low-budget, high-impact participatory websites that will allow you to engage, inform, educate and enrich your constituents. This hands-on workshop introduces you to “best of breed” tools and resources allowing you to create a Web presence that will put you on the map. Learn about hosting, design tools and the new Web 2.0 applications that will allow you to expand your Web reach. Instructors: Jim Angus, Senior Facilitator, NASA Engineering Network, Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Registration Fee: $10. We recommend bringing your own laptop but a limited number of computers will be available for early bird registrants. Transportation not included. Located 0.2 miles from the Hilton Pasadena at the Pasadena Public Library, Central Library Branch, 285 East Walnut Street, Pasadena, CA 91101.

Flipping Screens: Teaching with iPads and Apple TVCIT, NUS
By Johan Geertsema
As part of a CIT trial my students and I each received an iPad last semester. But what is the added value of such technology for teaching? In this presentation, focusing in particular on mirroring screens by means of an Apple TV unit installed in the classroom, I will explain how we used the devices; I will also share the results of a student survey at the end of the semester.
After briefly explaining the classroom setup and the main apps we used, I will consider the chief benefits of teaching with iPads and an Apple TV:
enhanced interactivity through flipping screens, which enables increased discussion of course readings as well as student work (peer review)
community building by subverting teacher/learner hierarchies
the iPad as a vehicle for e-portfolios, with students learning how to record and organize their work
use of back channel to document classes
I will highlight some of the problems that came up, which ranged from technical issues to the pressures of multitasking, and will end by gesturing towards ways of taking this trial forward, in particular the possibility that flipping screens in large classes could help in flipping classes.
The presentation will as far as possible take the form of a hands-on demonstration: I plan to present using an iPad and Apple TV, show a video taken during class, and perhaps ask volunteer members of the audience to mirror their screens.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
