Stop Telling Designers What To Do: Reframing Instructional Design Education T...colin gray
This document summarizes a study on design judgment in instructional design practice. The researchers observed 8 instructional designers and identified different types of judgments they made. They found that judgments were made continuously throughout projects and were highly situational based on contextual factors. Design judgments occurred in complex, layered ways and involved multiple types of judgments. The researchers believe this study suggests instructional design education should focus less on teaching isolated tools/models and more on helping students develop their ability to make judgments within complex design contexts.

The Quality Dilemma in Education Revisitedcolin gray
This document discusses the concept of quality in education. It explores how quality is defined differently by various stakeholders and outlines some proposed standards for measuring quality. The document also examines a paradigm shift from provider-focused to learner-focused education using other knowledge sources. Some risks of this shift include commoditization of education, but benefits include a new information paradigm and democratization of knowledge. The document concludes by considering standards and the divide between process-oriented and outcomes-oriented approaches to measuring quality in education.
Discursive Structures of Informal Critique in an HCI Design Studio colin gray
Critique has long been considered a benchmark of design education and practice, both as a way to elicit feedback about design artifacts in the process of production and as a high-stakes assessment tool in academia. In this study, I investigate a specific form of critique between peers that emerges organically in the design studio apart from coursework or guidance of a professor. Based on intensive interviews and observations, this informal peer critique appears to elicit the design judgment of the individual designer in explicit ways, encouraging peers to follow new paths in their design process, while also verbalizing often-implicit design decisions that have already been made. Implications for future research in academic and professional practice are considered.
Learners' Strategies for Interpreting Instructional Imagescolin gray
The study examined the strategies learners use to interpret instructional images, identifying both meaning-making strategies focused on deriving significance from the images and decision-making strategies oriented towards selecting answers. It found learners are active interpreters who invoke various strategies together with task demands rather than passively receiving intended messages. Even with context, images were rarely interpreted as designers intended, calling for attention to both image design and task structure.

Raster images are composed of pixels and are best for photo-realistic images like textures, photographs, and effects. Vector images use mathematical formulas to describe objects and are better for illustrations, logos, icons, and scalable drawings like diagrams. Key factors in choosing a file type are whether the image needs unlimited scalability, sharp text, or contains raster-friendly content like photos.
Western powers play an important role in spreading democratic values and free market ideals globally. While some criticize Western intervention, the spread of democracy and capitalism has helped many nations develop in a way that respects individual liberties and economic freedom. However, Western influence must be handled delicately with an understanding of local customs to avoid backlash and promote long-term stability. Overall, the diffusion of Western political and economic models can be positive when implemented judiciously and with respect for all cultures.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
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).

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
