SocialLearn: Bridging the Gap Between Web 2.0 and Higher Education at e-Literate - 0 views

  •  
    Higher education faces a challenge. It may not now it yet, but it does. And the challenge is this - when learners have been accustomed to very facilitative, usable, personalisable and adaptive tools both for learning and socialising, why will they accept standardised, unintuitive, clumsy and out of date tools in formal education they are paying for? It won't be a dramatic revolution (students accept lower physical accommodation standards when they leave home for university after all), but instead there will be a quiet migration. The monolithic LMSs will be deserted, digital tumbleweed blowing down their forums. Students will abandon these in favour of their tools, the back channel will grow and it will be constituted from content and communication technologies that don't require a training course to understand and that come with a ready made community. This may seem like just a technological issue, but it runs deeper than this.

Is SEO the way to make your brand appear high on SERP? - 0 views

  •  
    Search Engine Optimization (SEO), simply means to increase your website visibility on to the Search Engine Result Page (SERP) organically, which means without any paid method. Search Engines like Google and Bing uses bots to go through the pages on the web and collect information about those pages and arrange them in an index. Next, some technical Algorithms analyze the contents or information in the index which finalizes the ranking of the pages in SERP. Google says search algorithms go through many factors "including the words of your query, relevance and usability of pages, the expertise of sources and your location and settings". Google is mostly used because of its most reliable algorithms. How SEO works: Search Engine Optimization simply shows the search engines that your content is the best relevant content for the users because the search engines have the same goals to show the most compatible result to the users. SEO also depends on the type of search engine you are optimizing for. To gain more organic traffic to your webpages you need to understand the search engines' algorithms and to gain more views on videos, you need to practice YouTube SEO. Optimizations For Google: Google uses nearly 200 ranking factors, still, nobody knows the exact ways of Google ranking algorithms. Now, we need to always remember about Google is that it always ranks web pages, not websites. Your page ranks for different keywords. Hence you need to optimize different pages on different keywords. All your pages should not be optimized using one keyword. AntWak videos provide a complete guideline on Search Engine Optimization. Here you can watch videos of working professionals and learn in detail about SEO.

What is Cyber Threat Intelligence? - 0 views

  •  
    Cyber threats aimed at business are identified by Threat Intelligence. IT specialists and complex tools can read and analyze the threats. This information is utilized to plan, forestall, and recognize cyber threats hoping to exploit important organization's assets. Threat Intelligence collects and compiles the raw data about the threats emerging from different sources. Cyber threats can be truly terrifying. Cyber threat knowledge can help associations obtain important information about these threats, build successful defense equipment and relieve the threats that could harm their reputation. People often get confused with Cyber Security terms such as Threat Intelligence and Threat Data. Threat data is a list of likely threats. For instance, Facebook feeds are like a running list of possible issues. It is Threat Intelligence when IT specialists and exclusive complex tools can read and analyze the threats/attacks. Why is threat intelligence important for businesses? Threat Intelligence is a vital part of any cybersecurity. A cyber threat intelligence program sometimes called CTI, can: Prevent data loss With a very much organized CTI program set up, your organization can spot cyber threats and keep data breaches from leaking critical information. Give guidance on security measures By distinguishing and dissecting threats, CTI spots designs utilized by hackers. CTI assists organizations with setting up security standards to protect against future cyber assaults and threats. Educate others Hackers are smarter than before. To keep up, cybersecurity specialists share the strategies they've seen with the IT people group to make a communal database to battle cybercrimes and cybersecurity threats.

"Introduction to Data Science & AI/ML" by + professionals - 0 views

  •  
    Most business Entrepreneurs and Data Scientists can disclose how to triumph with (AI) and ML, yet rarely anyone can share to fail with such technologies. While the innovation is solid and publicised   there is a lot of ways to fall flat with AI. Let's talk about nine innovative approaches to censure any AI startup to bankruptcy. #1 Cut R&D expenses AI requires heavy expenditure in cutting-edge research, experimentation, advanced computing, and computing infrastructure. Any AI startup willing to create helpful AI innovations needs to spend a lot of money on innovative work (R&D). To scale down expenses in this area, cutting R&D expenses will rapidly make way to failure. #2 Technology Bubble operation Technology is confined to the social condition in which it is created. Technology never sustains itself but other various important aspects. AI has failed a few times since the commencement of computer science not for technical reasons but as a result of an absence of social need and interest at that point. Experience has taught that AI advancements can't be made in isolation from the social conditions that make them important (like medical care, Health analysis, and money). It is quite crucial to first engineer people to persuade them. Before designing the actual technology, visionaries and business visionaries convince them to suspend their questions and embrace the novelty and utility of disruptive ideas. Working in a bubble and overlooking the current necessities of society is a certain way to failure. #3 Prioritize Technology over business technique Only technology isn't enough to make progress, regardless of how strong it is. In the end, Tech startups also need a great strategy to succeed in being a business entity. Any startup that comes up short on a technique for recognizing objective business sectors, generating sales, and viably allotting and spending resources, yet gives need only to their technical resources, is destined to fail rapidly.

Martin Dougiamas Keynote at Moodlemoot Canada | Some Random Thoughts - 0 views

  • Martin Dougiamas presented the keynote at the Canadian Moodlemoot in Edmonton.
  • Martin updated us with the current stats on Moodle 54,000 verified sites worldwide. 41 Million users 97 language packs (17 fully complete, the rest are in various states) 54 Moodle Partners who fund the project and its going very well ensuring the project will continue into the future. (such as Remote-Learner who I work for) USA still has the highest raw number of installations and Spain has half of that with much less population. Brazil is now 3rd in the world and has overtaken the UK now in total installs. 3 of the top 10 are English speaking per head of population, Portugal has the largest number of Moodle installations.
  • As many may have seen before, there are 10 steps of pedagogical usage of Moodle, which is outlined on Moodle Docs. It details the typical 10 step progression which looks like: Putting up the handouts (Resources, SCORM) Providing a passive Forum (unfacilitated) Using Quizzes and Assignments (less management) Using the Wiki, Glossary and Database tools (interactive content) Facilitate discussions in Forums, asking questions, guiding Combining activities into sequences, where results feed later activities Introduce external activities and games (internet resources) Using the Survey module to study and reflect on course activity Using peer-review modules like Workshop, giving students more control over grading and even structuring the course in some ways Conducting active research on oneself, sharing ideas in a community of peers
  • ...10 more annotations...
  •  ”a lot of people find that giving students the ability to teach is a valuable learning process” – Martin Dougiamas.
  • A lot of people want that secure private place in the LMS with big gates, with students needing to gain competencies and knowledge.  Many people really want this “Content Pump” focus, becuase it is what they need. Others use it as a community of practitioners, connected activities, content created by students and teachers alike and many methods of assessment. These are the two ends of the spectrum of usage.
  • Moodle has two roles: to be progressive and integrate with things coming up, and a drag and drop UI, with innovate workflows and improve media handling and mobile platforms to be conservative and improve  security and usability and assessment , accredition, detailed management tracking and reports and performance and stability
  • Since Moodle 1.9 came out three years ago,  March 2008 and most are still using the three year old code which has had fixes applied since then (1.9.11 is the current release.) The support for 1.9 will continue until the middle of 2012 as it is understood that it will be a big move to Moodle2.   “If you are going to Moodle2, you may as well go to Moodle 2.1 as it is better with 6 months more work” .
  • However, the ongoing support for each release will be 1 yr moving to the future. Moodle will be released every 6 months which enables the organisations to plan their upgrade times ahead of time.
  • What will be in Moodle 2.1? Performance Restore 1.9 backups Quiz/question refactor Page course format Interface polishing Official Mobile app (there now is a Mobile division)
  • HQ are working on an official app which uses Moodle 2 built-in web services. This provides a secure access to the data in Moodle 2 for people who have accounts in Moodle which greatly benefits mobile apps.
  • Moodle HQ has looked at what is Mobile really good at and identified them one by one and implemented them.  This includes messaging, list of participants in your course, marking attendence (in class roll call). This will be for the iPhone first and then someone will make it for Android so it will lag behind, but will be the same.
  • What is going to happen in 2.2 and beyond?
  • Grading and Rubrics Competency Tracking (from activity level, course level, outside courses to generate a competency profile) Assignment (planning to combine all 4 into one type and simplify it) Forum (big upgrade probably based on OU Forum) Survey (to include feedback/questionnaire – being rewritten currently) Lesson Scorm 2 Improved reporting IMS LTI IMS CC (although it is in 1.9 needs to be redone)
  •  
    An important overview for any one using Moodle, especially useful for those contemplating an upgrade to 2.0 .  (I'll make the move when we have 2.1 or 2.2.)
