Artur Suchwalko “What are common mistakes in Data Science projects and how to...Lviv Startup Club
Common mistakes in data science projects include:
1) Not properly defining the business problem or focusing on optimizing the wrong process.
2) Not adequately preparing the data or understanding how it was generated.
3) Rushing the modeling process or implementation without proper testing.
4) Choosing complex methods or "AI" solutions when simpler approaches may work better.
5) Not involving experienced people or adequately educating the team.
To avoid these mistakes, it is important to carefully analyze the business problem, data, modeling process, and make sure the right people are involved.
There were major issues with the online network and learning management system that prevented students and teachers from accessing online classrooms for an entire day. Email and phone became the primary means of communication until the problems could be fixed. These kinds of technical glitches are common in online environments and institutions should have protocols in place to allow education to continue even if issues persist for weeks or months. Instructors need to be comfortable with the technology used and have alternative plans to keep students engaged during outages.
Do you work in media? Are you interested in digital? Do you care about how social media can go beyond the dependence on platforms or algorithms? This talk briefly covered the development of social media from the protests in Tahrir Square of the 'Arab Spring', to Zuckerberg testifying before the US Senate and Congress in April 2018.
We then follow with breaking the mould of journalism (you don't need to have studied journalism if you want to work in journalism), what are the right numbers to track (analytics) and why engaging with your audience, rather than focusing on pure aggregate growth is a smarter strategy.
Digital World: A Freshmore Course for Computational Thinking at SUTDOka Kurniawan
The document describes the Digital World course at SUTD which teaches computational thinking. It uses a "1D-Big D" pedagogy with hands-on projects each week to reinforce concepts from the foundations subjects of math, science, and humanities. Students provide feedback that they learn practical skills through controlling physical robots. The course equips students through online materials, micro-quizzes, cohort problems, and immediate feedback. It culminates in a final integrated 2D design project applying multiple subject areas.
This document outlines an online presentation about making collaborative groups work in online courses. The presenters are Lynn Pollock from Southwestern Community College, Eric Wilson from Orange Coast College and Kaplan University, and Jill Golden from Orange Coast College who will moderate.

They will provide tips and guidelines for adapting collaborative learning strategies typically used in face-to-face classes to an online environment. The presentation will address questions about the benefits of collaborative learning, how to set up an online collaborative environment, and how to avoid and handle issues that may arise during group work.
This document discusses cross-classroom collaboration and finding the right partner based on comfort levels with technology, teaching styles, and experience collaborating. It provides questions to help teachers assess their comfort levels in these areas and match with appropriate partners and projects. The document also lists potential partners and tools to enable cross-classroom collaboration projects.
This document provides guidance for students on completing a research project, including choosing a topic, writing a paper outline in MS Word, and creating a PowerPoint presentation. The paper outline must include an introduction, cause and effect, compare and contrast, validity and reliability, and conclusion. Students are also instructed on how to insert items like pictures, clip art, movies and sounds into their PowerPoint presentation. The goal is to persuade their audience to take action on the issue.
This document summarizes an agenda for a session on emerging technologies for librarians. It will include 5 scenarios presented by different librarians, followed by a panel discussion. The scenarios include what to do after seeing new technologies at a conference, evaluating requests for new technologies, managing related additional projects, determining ongoing responsibilities after implementation, and gaining support for new ideas. The session aims to help librarians problem-solve challenges incorporating emerging technologies through shared experiences and expert advice.
The document discusses using collaborative observations to improve teaching. It outlines benefits of observations for both teachers and observers, as well as a data-based observation model involving pre-conferences, focused observations to collect objective data, and post-conferences to reflect on the data and identify next steps. The model aims to shift observations from judgment-focused to collaborative professional growth. The document also describes eCOVE, classroom observation software that facilitates the data-based model.
This document evaluates and compares two learning objects: Shift Happens and Copyright.
For Shift Happens, it finds that while the presentation displays text and visuals effectively and varies its format, it does not clearly state its objective, overwhelms viewers with alarming information, and lacks target audience and measurement of outcomes.
Copyright is found to be more organized with an inferred clear objective, limited slides, and interactive elements like a quiz. However, it provides inconsistency in slides and some irrelevant graphics.
Overall, neither learning object is considered an effective training tool as they lack clearly stated objectives and expected outcomes for learners. The document concludes by referencing two sources on creating effective training programs and materials.
This document discusses using OneDrive and Dashboard systems for homework assignments. OneDrive is like Google Drive and works with college logins, while Dashboard allows teachers to set and students to see assignments, deadlines, and ask questions.

Effective Practices in the Online Delivery of Developmental EducationBarry Dahl
This document discusses effective practices for delivering developmental education courses online. It begins by outlining a discussion where an expert claimed completion rates for online developmental courses were much lower than face-to-face courses. However, data from Lake Superior College showed comparable completion rates and passing grades between online and face-to-face developmental courses. The document then lists effective practices for online developmental education, including strong instructor presence, clear expectations, emphasis on time flexibility, timely feedback, early alert systems, online orientations, tutoring, mentors, examples, self-assessment, and frequent assignments. It concludes by discussing alternatives like MOOCs, competency-based models, and personalized learning.
eLearning A to Z - MidSouth Distance Learning Conference 2013Barry Dahl
The document discusses perspectives on online learning from both supporters ("e-learning zealots") and critics ("e-learning atheists"). E-learning zealots tout the benefits of online learning without evidence, often starting sentences with stories of individual students. E-learning atheists are skeptical of online education and believe it cannot replace traditional college experiences. The document also examines arguments about the flexibility and quality of online learning.
Mandatory Web Accessibility Training for Online FacultyBarry Dahl
This document outlines the need for mandatory web accessibility training for online faculty. It discusses how accessibility supports inclusion for people with disabilities and is recognized as a basic human right. Examples of accessibility include alternative text, navigation via keyboard, captions, and color choices that don't hinder users. The document recommends knowledge training in web accessibility be required and suggests using existing online training resources and creating a Desire2Learn course with assessments to provide this training.
1) Studies have found that students are slightly more likely to fail or withdraw from online courses compared to face-to-face courses at community colleges. However, comparisons of completion rates need to account for differences in student demographics and other factors.
2) Expectations for online course completion rates should consider differences in student populations, instructor experience, and course lengths. Shorter online courses may help address interruptions in students' lives from family or work issues.
3) Improving support systems, early intervention, orientation, and professional development can help increase online completion rates. The goal should be enabling student success rather than comparing raw completion statistics between online and face-to-face courses.

It also explains how instructors can utilize intelligent agents to automatically send reminders or messages to students based on defined criteria like lack of login or course activity.
The document provides guidance on building effective home pages in the D2L learning environment. It recommends considering students' needs and wants like course information, materials, and updates. It suggests maximizing the home page with a news section, important dates, content and resource links, and RSS feeds. The document also outlines layout options and using custom web pages as home pages.
Dr. Linda Baer - D2L Keynote Asia-Pac Conference - 9/15/12Barry Dahl
The document discusses several topics related to higher education:
1. It discusses the completion challenge facing higher education institutions, including low completion rates, the need to better align K-12 and postsecondary education to support college readiness, and the need for adults to have opportunities to return to college.
2. It discusses the capacity challenge, including the need to build organizational capacity, attract talent and develop skills, increase collaboration, and shift institutional culture.
3. It discusses the funding challenge facing higher education institutions, including state budget cuts and the rising costs of college leading to increased student debt.
4. It discusses the innovation challenge, including the need to move beyond isolated "islands of innovation" and overcome
Intelligent agents in Desire2Learn can automate notifications when certain criteria are met, such as a student not logging in or entering a course. The agents check for predefined criteria on a set schedule and send customized emails to specified recipients. Examples include sending reminders to students who are inactive or messages with encouragement and resource links after poor performance. While agents increase communication, their use requires effective management to avoid over-messaging students.
Governors Sate U - Are We Amusing Ourselves to Death?Barry Dahl
Postman argued that television had become the primary medium of communication and shaped public discourse in a way that prioritized entertainment over substance. He believed television encouraged passive consumption of information rather than active engagement. While new technologies like the internet could potentially encourage more creativity and interaction, there was also a risk they could further distract and amuse people without adding real value. Postman's final message was that emerging technologies should be evaluated based on whether they enrich public discourse or simply aim to amuse and distract.
The document discusses various aspects of evaluating online learning programs, including comparing the accreditation process to program reviews, defining distance education and correspondence courses, seeking approval from accrediting bodies for offering online programs, applying quality standards to online course design and teaching, and analyzing metrics like student satisfaction, learning outcomes, completion rates, and employment outcomes. It also provides examples of how to structure an on-campus program review that could inform the online program review process.
CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
