Educational Technologies: Learning Analytics and Artificial IntelligenceXavier Ochoa
The document discusses the role of educational technologies like learning analytics and artificial intelligence. It provides examples of how learning analytics can be used to analyze academic data to gain insights about difficult courses, dropout paths, and the relationship between courses. This allows universities to identify issues and redesign programs. It also discusses using learning analytics to build tools like academic advising dashboards that provide personalized recommendations to students about course loads. While artificial intelligence can provide automated feedback at scale, the quality of feedback is still limited and human judgment remains important.

The document presents an analysis of predicting user occupations from Twitter content using machine learning techniques. Key contributions include developing a new dataset linking users to occupations, applying Gaussian process classification to predict occupations at the 1-digit level with over 52% accuracy, and analyzing the most predictive word clusters. Topic analysis found clusters related to arts, health, beauty, and education were highly predictive of certain occupations, while elongated words were less predictive. Non-linear models significantly outperformed linear models in occupational prediction.

This document discusses strategies for economic development, science and technology research and development (R&D), workforce development, and education for STEM, IT, and arts/audiovisual technology and communications clusters. It references the importance of preparing students in K-12 for future jobs that require skills in science, technology, engineering, and math. Examples are provided of modeling, simulation, and gaming being applied across different fields like healthcare, defense, and digital learning. The potential for games and game technologies to be used beyond entertainment is also discussed.
Learning analytics: Threats and opportunitiesMartin Hawksey
Learning analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners and their contexts in order to understand and optimize the learning environment. It involves techniques from computer science, statistics, programming and other disciplines. While learning analytics can provide opportunities to give feedback and improve learning, it also poses threats regarding privacy, ethics, and the misuse of visualizations and absence of educational theory. Overall, learning analytics should be used to start conversations to improve learning rather than make definitive decisions, and it is important that the needs and experiences of learners guide its application.
The document discusses the state of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education in the US compared to other countries. It notes that the US ranks low internationally in terms of STEM degrees earned and test scores. Several initiatives are highlighted that aim to improve STEM education in the US by making subjects more relevant, collaborative, and hands-on. The document advocates for increasing STEM opportunities and encouraging students to take challenging math and science courses.
An expanding and expansive view of computing researchNAVER Engineering
My recent service for five years as the Assistant Director of the US National Science Foundation leading the Directorate of Computer and Information Science and Engineering has afforded me a broad view of computing research and education. The field of computing is in the midst of another “golden age” and is also at another nexus point – a point of change – where future research directions, and new ways in which research will be done, are coming into focus.
In this talk we will discuss these current and future CS research topics and trends, placing them in the context of the longer-term evolution of our field. We will also discuss computer science education (at several levels), as well as the forces that promise to disrupt not just computer science education, but higher education more broadly.

Much prior work has shown the practical value of modeling random variables as IID in order to simplify statistical inference, yet prior work has also shown this assumption to be suboptimal in terms of model performance. Occam’s razor prompts us to simplify explanations, and this talk will present how a very simple transform has been leveraged to improve performance of both generative and discriminative learners, as well as unsupervised learning, in a number of application domains including differentially private community discovery.
Data science is a multidisciplinary field that uses theories and techniques from computer science, mathematics, and statistics to extract knowledge from large amounts of data. It has become an important area due to the exponential growth of data from sources like the web, financial transactions, social networks, and scientific projects. Data scientists analyze this "big data" to discover patterns and make decisions in many domains including business, science, engineering, healthcare, politics and more. They are key to unlocking the value within large and complex datasets. The field of data science has become very popular in recent years and is projected to be in high demand, leading to it being called "the sexiest job of the 21st century."

Weekly discussion response question Carl Solberg provides us with a.docxdannies7qbuggie
Weekly discussion response question: Carl Solberg provides us with a comparative history of agrarian development in Argentina and Canada as both nations entered the twentieth century. Identify one of the differences between Canada and Argentina that Solberg discusses and comment on the implications for each respective country. -this is the first assignment.
THe second assignment is to comment on two student's threads they wrote for the first assignment. Here are two student's threads I just need simple reply to their answer try not to do make it sound too professional, it should be smilar to what the students have written like I like your thread because you mentioned this and blah blah just a regular response. Here are two thread for you to respond to also tell me which student's thread you responded to so I added their name below just say say response to this student's thread and the response only needs to be a paragraph.
1.)
There is no doubt that both Argentina and Canada both flourished from 1870 up until around 1930, but they did so in a different manner. They were both not known to be attractive spots to immigrants up until this time period. It is clear that both countries saw a rapid increase in their migrant population but one difference that I would like to point out is how different the growth rates were and why.
Starting in 1870, Canada's population was almost three times greater than Argentina's. Over the course of the next 40 years their populations would come to much closer numbers, within a million people. Argentina's growth rate was almost twice as high as what Canada was seeing despite they both were equipped with highly funded marketing budgets to bring workers to their respective countries.
These expensive marketing campaigns provided false expectations for immigrants and if they did not like the conditions in Canada there was always the choice to move to the United States.
One of the main reasons for diverse migrant numbers was due to the United States close proximity to Canada. (
Solberg
, 134) Immigrants moving to Argentina likely did not have another alternative once they arrived. Economic growth in both Canada and Argentina would eventually slow down due to either higher land prices or falling commodity prices so the option to move to the booming United States economy became more appealing. Canada also started to see Americans move north to reap the land of its benefits with their agricultural knowledge but they did not stay long and soon moved back to the United States. - William Alexander
2.)
The 1890's to 1920's were a very versatile time for Canada and Argentina. Although in very different geographical areas, both of these countries had sought over lands for agriculture. Due to this, it was a prime spot for immigrants to migrate too for successful futures. Both of these countries were the world's leading exporters at the time. This was due to the massive migration as mentioned, and also foreign inve.
Week5 ET410 Cost Estimation and BudgetingAn important aspect of .docxdannies7qbuggie
Week5 ET410
Cost Estimation and Budgeting
An important aspect of cost budgeting is personnel. A current professional issue in the engineering field is companies using contract engineers like employees but refusing to actually make them employees. Thus, they effectively work for a company for years in a contract status rather than in a full-time employee status. Labor and tax law may motivate the employer and perhaps the ‘employee’ to maintain a contingent status. On the other hand, there can be an ethical issue with refusing to transition an ‘employee’ to full-time status. Discuss what motivates an employer to use temporary or contingent employees, and explain the ethical implications on the individual, society, and the profession of keeping an individual in that status. What criteria might be used to determine when to change an individual’s status? Consider ethical problem solving strategies from ET100 where appropriate. You MUST have references.

Weekly Discussion Board Response
The weekly discussion board response serves as a forum for students to participate and discuss assigned readings with classmates and the professor. This weekly assignment is broken down into 2 parts: (1) your response and (2) commenting on two other posts. The class has been organized to include the same amount of readings as a class that would meet in person. Each student is required to write a response about the Tuesday reading by Thursday – no later than 6:00 PM EST (I am including eastern standard time because several students are taking the class while outside of the country).
Students are expected to write responses that are three paragraphs in length and demonstrate a strong understanding of the themes, events, and people contained in the readings. In addition, each student must pick two other student posts and comment on their response for the week. Comments should be constructive, thoughtful and focused. The purpose of the each student’s comment response is to promote dialogue between students that would typically occur in a classroom setting. Comments should be one paragraph.
Weekly Response Paper
Students are responsible for writing a response paper at the end of each week. The paper’s topic will draw from the readings assigned for that week. The paper’s question (or set of questions) will build off the weekly discussion response. The purpose of the weekly response paper is for students to demonstrate that they have completed the assigned readings and can critically apply the material to larger questions of history and political economy. The paper should follow the basic format of: introduction, body, conclusion, and footnotes that follow the Chicago-style format (do not cite in the body of the text). All papers should contain the student’s own, individual voice that is supported with evidence and facts drawn from the assigned readings. Other secondary sources used to complement or strengthen your argument are acceptable, however Wikipedia entries and blog posts are not acceptable as sources.

Week 9 Assignment
Continue on with building your final application due in week 10. You will submit one cogent paper that combines the previous two applications (Parts One and Two) from weeks 4 and 7, plus the new material mentioned in the week 8 application
Application: Developing a Health Advocacy Campaign
To be an effective advocate and to develop a successful health advocacy campaign, you must have a clear idea of the goals of your campaign program and be able to communicate those goals to others. In addition, it is the nature of nurses to want to help, but it is important to make sure that the vision you develop is manageable in size and scope. By researching what others have done, you will better appreciate what can realistically be accomplished. It is also wise to determine if others have similar goals and to work with these people to form strategic partnerships. If you begin your planning with a strong idea of your resources, assets, and capabilities, you will be much more likely to succeed and truly make a difference with those you hope to help.
You will develop a 10- to 12-page paper that outlines a health advocacy campaign designed to promote policies to improve the health of a population of your choice. This week, you will establish the framework for your campaign by identifying a population health concern of interest to you. You will then provide an overview of how you would approach advocating for this issue.
-In Week 9, you will consider legal and regulatory factors that have an impact on the issue and finally, in Week 10, you will identify ethical concerns that you could face as an advocate.
Specific details for each aspect of this paper are provided each week.
This paper will serve as the Portfolio Application for the course.
Before you begin, review the complete Assignment.
This week, begin developing your health advocacy campaign by focusing on the following:
Week 10 Application
To prepare for this final portion of your paper:
·
Review provisions 7, 8, and 9 of the ANA Code of Ethics in relation to advocacy for population health.
·

Week Eight Homework Exercise
Answer the following questions covering material from Ch. 14 of
Methods in Behavioral Research
:
What is replication, and what role does it play in increasing the external validity or generalizability of a study? In what way is the IRB involved in using participants in a research study?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using college students as participants in research studies?
What potential problems can arise from generalization of results to different cultures or ethnic groups?
What is meta-analysis, and how is it useful to practitioners and scholars?
True or false: In many cases, meta analyses involves calculating an average effect size for a relationship between variables.
True or false: Many constructs, such as physical attractiveness and self-esteem, appear constant across cultures; thus, external validity is less of a concern when conducting research on such constructs. Provide a brief explanation of your answer.

Week 8 -- Provide an example of some form of misrepresentation in me.docxdannies7qbuggie
Week 8 -- Provide an example of some form of misrepresentation in media over the years (includes: staging news, re-creations, selective editing and fictional methods). Give some background for context and answer; why, in your opinion is this an example of misrepresentation and why is it egregious? Provide the link to the example. Additionally for the Week 8 discussion, consider media bias. Both conservative and liberal sides claim that there is media bias (to the other side of their beliefs) yet, it is evident that there is bias on both sides. It is no secret that the traditional views of the following 3 media outlets are as follows: Fox News--Conservative/Right, MSNBC--Liberal/Left, CNN--Moderate. A) Track a relatively current news story and report to the class the way the 3 media outlets presented the story. Were there surprises to you in your findings? B) Also pick one additional media outlet of your choice (perhaps NPR, AL JAZEERA, or BBC) and look at their perspective of the same story.
This is just a discussion but please cite in APA format as usual.
