This document discusses considerations for implementing digital exams where students use their own devices. It outlines different types of exams that could be taken digitally, as well as challenges around ensuring security and preventing cheating. Solutions for enabling "exam mode" on personal devices are presented, including using virtual desktops, lockdown browsers, or domain control. A report on evaluating technical solutions for large-scale digital exams is summarized, and a checklist of factors to address before, during, and after exams is provided. The document advocates for further work to investigate recommended virtual desktop and lockdown browser approaches.

TXDLA 2015 Presentation: Using Unity3D for Creating Simulations for HealthcareE S
A blended team from Texas State University and University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston used Unity3D to create a training module for Linear Accelerator technicians. The training is comprised of linear presentations of content followed by hands on exercises that immerses the student in a simulated treatment room and allows them to acclimate to the clinic environment as well as familiarizing them with the core concepts of a Linear Accelerator.
ASCILITE 2018: Towards authentic e-Exams at scale: robust networked Moodlemathewhillier
We present the design and user evaluation of a resilient online e-Exam platform that is capable of working without a network for most of the exam session, including the conclusion of an exam, without loss of data. We draw upon the education and technology acceptance literature as a basis for evaluation. The technology approach takes advantage of the Moodle learning management system quiz module as a means to provide an electronic workflow for assessments and builds on a range of open source components to construct the robust solution. The approach also enables rich, constructed assessment tasks by providing authentic 'e-tools of the trade' software applications and a consistent operating system on each student's BYO laptop. The robust Moodle exam deployment was trialled in two undergraduate units (subjects) at an Australian university. Students undertook a sequence of practice, mid term and a final examinations using the platform. Additional software and audio files were utilised as part of the exams. Student feedback on their experience was collected using pre and post surveys covering a range of issues related to technology acceptance.

Webinar CRUI Dell: flexilab, computer classroom made flexible Jürgen Ambrosi
Nella cornice dei seminari CRUI, Dell presenta la piattaforma Flexilab, una soluzione innovativa per le computer classroom, che consente allo studente di accedere alle applicazioni di cui necessita da qualunque dispositivo e da qualunque luogo e alle università di dotarsi delle più recenti tecnologie, in una modalità gestita, flessibile ed economicamente vantaggiosa.
4° Sessione VMware Horizon: la piattaforma per l’erogazione e la gestione di ...Jürgen Ambrosi
Trasformare i desktop statici secondo il paradigma del Digital Workspace: ambienti di lavoro sicuri che possono essere distribuiti on demand. Distribuire applicazioni e i desktop virtuali o remoti attraverso un'unica infrastruttura VDI che include una piattaforma di virtualizzazione delle applicazioni, per ottimizzare la gestione e semplificare il rilascio delle autorizzazioni agli utenti finali.
Consolidare il controllo, la distribuzione e la protezione delle risorse di elaborazione degli utenti con policy che si adattano dinamicamente all'ambiente di elaborazione dell'utente finale. Assicurare un'esperienza d'uso sempre eccellente a qualsiasi tipo di utente, dai lavoratori mobili agli sviluppatori 3D, su dispositivi, postazioni, supporti e connessioni diverse. Sfruttare una moderna architettura di distribuzione di desktop e applicazioni in grado di distribuire desktop in pochi secondi, ridurre i costi operativi e dello storage con desktop realmente stateless e semplificare il packaging e l'installazione delle applicazioni.
Con VMware Horizon è possibile realizzare tutto ciò, trasformando il Digital Workspace degli utenti in modo moderno, flessibile e sicuro.
I created and delivered this presentation at the 2007 PLM World Conference. The topic was a client Teamcenter Community implementation project I managed.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Editor's Notes
Digital exams – when students are left to their own devices. Building support infrastructure for secure BYOD environmentsUniversities are the largest bring your own device (BYOD) institutions in the world, since millions of students bring their own devices to their campus every day. For some use cases there is a need for the university to control the client environment the student operates in. Building BYOD solutions for large scale student use with control over clients changes the current infrastructure. This presentation looks at the requirements for network and security infrastructure needed for digital exams in a BYOD environment.
