The document discusses Alvin Toffler's concept of future shock and how rapid technological change can psychologically disorient and stress people. It also discusses how Toffler warned that education was "dangerously malfunctioning" because different groups viewed education's purpose differently. The document then asks how concepts from Kevin Kelly's book What Technology Wants, such as the technium and parallel invention, relate to Toffler and Clayton Christensen's views on how education needs to adapt to technological change.

The economics of sharing
This document discusses cognitive surplus and knowledge sharing. It addresses the size of communities, the cost of sharing information, the clarity of knowledge shared, and cultural norms that can impact knowledge sharing. Barriers to inclusion such as cost of transmission can be lowered through technologies like printing presses, computers and mobile phones to increase knowledge sharing. Simplicity and clarity of information makes it easier for more people to participate. Cultural commitments within communities can impact how knowledge is shared while increasing access to knowledge can raise its value.
Triad of Technology
The document discusses three triads that describe evolution: biological evolution has functional, historical, and structural aspects; technological evolution also has three aspects - the semiconductor industry arose contingently but led to Silicon Valley, the ARPAnet network was structurally inevitable and became the internet, and Apple computers were intentionally created to have a graphical user interface.

Hypecycle
The document discusses two frameworks for understanding the diffusion and adoption of innovations - the Hype Cycle and Diffusion of Innovation theory. Diffusion of Innovation theory by Everett Rogers seeks to explain how innovations are adopted by different groups in a population over time. It identifies five qualities that influence an innovation's rate of adoption and categorizes adopters into innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. The Hype Cycle model similarly tracks emerging technologies through phases of a hype cycle from trigger to peak to through the trough of disillusionment.
Social Media Best Practices
Organizations should have an explicit and public social media policy that reflects their code of conduct. The policy should address both internal and external use and make it clear that all social media posts are public. Employees should be familiar with their company's social media policy and use social networks respectfully and appropriately by keeping internal discussions confidential and understanding that anything posted can be viewed publicly.

Cognitive surplus
The document discusses the tension between individuals and groups in an age of increased social production and sharing of information by amateurs. It explores how groups must balance being an effective unit achieving goals with providing satisfaction to individual members. The psychologist Wilfred Bion proposed that groups can take different forms on a spectrum from basic to sophisticated work groups, and that successful groups balance effectiveness at the group level with satisfaction at the individual level.
Organic Paradigm Presentation
The organic paradigm marks a shift away from the traditional industrial paradigm in education, which has informed formal education since the late nineteenth century. It emphasizes four tenets: vitality, creativity, diversity, and customization. Furthermore, it recognizes individuality and allows students to draw upon their strengths as well as improve upon curricular areas where they are not uniformly strong. Customization of course content allows students to develop content areas specific to their professional or educational goals while working toward common objectives outlined by the instructor. This presentation describes the operationalization of an organic educational paradigm in an undergraduate journalism capstone course.
Social Media Policies
This presentation looks at an approach to social media policy, including recent evaluations of recent corporate social media policy by the NLRB.
Gaming
The document discusses how gaming can change the world by engaging over 500 million gamers worldwide. It outlines how games provide goals, rules, feedback and voluntary participation which focus and empower players, unlike many real world jobs that promote employees to levels of incompetence. Common elements of games establish purpose and creativity while providing motivation through feedback on progress towards goals. The document suggests hard fun games provide positive or 'eustress' rather than negative stress.
Ted
This document contains information about STEM education and the role of technology in learning. It includes links to videos about how education needs to change and adapt to new technologies and life experiences. While technology can deliver instruction, it does not influence achievement on its own. When used properly, technology in education can help harness risks for improvement and help systems adapt to emergent changes.
Generation x, y, z
This document discusses the concept of cognitive surplus, which refers to the billions of hours of free time spent online by internet users. It notes that Americans alone spend over 200 billion hours per year watching commercial television that could be used for other purposes. The document uses examples like the Apache web server and Napster platform to illustrate how open participation and sharing of digital information can lead to large social productions when people are motivated and have the means and opportunity to contribute their cognitive surplus.
Introduction to Political Science
Political Science is the study of how power is achieved, shared and used in governance and global relations. It examines concepts like the state, government, politics, and authority. The discipline aims to understand principles of public affairs and help address social issues.
EDUC601_FUTURISM.pptx
The document discusses the philosophy of futurism in education as proposed by Alvin Toffler. It defines futurism and outlines its aims to prepare students for future changes through skill-based learning. A futuristic curriculum focuses on social sciences and scientific inquiry. Teachers help students identify problems and think of alternatives. Schools pioneer societal change. Toffler's trilogy discusses the waves of agriculture, industry, and information in society and how future shock occurs from rapid change. The fourth wave may include biotechnology advances.

The pressure to engage with technology enhanced learning
The document discusses the persistent pressure to engage with technology enhanced learning (TEL) in nurse education, despite a lack of clear evidence that TEL improves learning outcomes compared to traditional methods. While proponents claim technologies can enhance learning, the evidence supporting this is limited. The pressure to adopt TEL seems to stem from "fantasmatic logics" that paint a picture of future fullness through technology, rather than evidence. Studies show nurse educators and students still value traditional approaches, and there are concerns that a focus on technological solutions may not actually improve the learning process. The document calls for a more critical stance toward TEL claims and recognition that technology does not inherently transform teaching and learning.

The Story of Distance Education: The Future Is Not What It Used To Be
Professor Mark Brown gave a presentation on the future of distance education. He discussed 1) failed predictions about the impact of technologies like radio, television and computers on education, 2) tensions around increasing global demand, high dropout rates, and a lack of understanding of returns on online education, and 3) the need for education to serve social change by addressing inequality and promoting inclusion in an increasingly digital world. He concluded by emphasizing that learning analytics should support educational goals and questioned whether new models truly solve problems in higher education when access, quality and cost remain tensions.

Ecological theory of human development
This document provides an overview of Urie Bronfenbrenner's bio-ecological theory of human development. The theory views human development as being shaped through complex interactions between individuals and their surrounding environmental contexts over time. It describes four levels of environmental contexts - the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, and macrosystem - as well as the overarching chronosystem. The theory proposes that development results from proximal processes, which are enduring interactions within an individual's immediate environment, and that developmental outcomes are influenced by personal characteristics, environmental contexts, and exposure to those contexts over time.

INTRODUCING THE NEW PARADIGM AND THE LEAPFROG PRINCIPLE
The document introduces the concepts of a new paradigm driven by globalization, the rise of the knowledge society, and accelerating change. It argues that leadership must embrace the concept of "leapfrogging" to stay ahead of rapid technological advances. Leapfrogging means using new technologies to instantly upgrade human performance and allow students of all ages to be innovative and creative. If applied to education through technologies like smart glasses, leapfrogging could transform schools into global leaders in sustainable innovation within a decade.
Hungary (JTET) Sustainable Innovation
The document discusses designing education around the concept of "Sustainable Innovation" to prepare students for emerging technological changes predicted by the "Technological Singularity". It defines the Singularity as the outcome of converging technologies producing "Trans-Humans" and potentially "Post-Humans". It advocates a "Leapfrog" approach to education using advanced technologies to move from memorization to creative knowledge production, blending formal and informal learning to support Sustainable Innovation.

Introduction
The universe has witnessed change and evolution since the dawn of time. This fact can
never be denied. From biological to cultural, to technological phases, the evolution is palpable to
the observers. The stated factors are interrelated. There is a strong connection between
technological innovations, human & cultural evolution (Ambrose, 2001).
Technological evolution encompasses the shift from stone tools to mechanical to more
sophisticated practices that today’s generation witnesses. Geels mentions in his work,
technological evolution takes place as a result of stipulating and retaining. The innovation along
technological lines shape a system of components where new and modern components are made
from existing ones, and more convoluted components advance from simpler ones. Such
sophistication has led to immense behavioral alteration over a period of time. The adaptation by
human generations confirms the fact that this behavioral change can be termed as cultural, as they
have been transmitted by sociocultural learning. (Joseph Henrich, 2003).
Seeing how and when such socially developed adjustments emerge, requires
comprehension of both behavioral systems that underlie human social learning, and the
transformative elements of social frameworks. This report aims to bring light on the connection of
behavioral change to technological evolution.
Bronfenbrenner’s Model
The model proposes the associations between the individual and their environment, sorted
into different frameworks, that shape their improvement, mental as well as physical, over time.
This model emphasizes the influence of a child’s inherited qualities and the environment provided
to him, cooperate to impact how he will develop with time. Through the Bronfenbrenner
Ecological Theory, Bronfenbrenner focused on the significance of the environment a child is raised
in, with regards to numerous situations in the endeavor to comprehend his advancement. Each
complex layer of environment immensely affects the development of a child (Dede Paquette,
2001).
The model proposes four levels of human interaction. First and the closest to a child is
microsystem. It includes a child's human connections, relational cooperation’s, and instant
environment. A case of this framework would be the connection between an individual and his or
her siblings, friends at school etc. the impact of this level is strongest on the child’s development.
(Dede Paquette, 2001).
Then is the mesosystem, encompassing the microsystem and including the diverse
collaborations between several characters of a microsystem. For instance, the co.

AI & Electronic WarfareMutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Fueling AI with Great Data with Airbyte Webinar
This talk will focus on how to collect data from a variety of sources, leveraging this data for RAG and other GenAI use cases, and finally charting your course to productionalization.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
