Like Moths to a Flame: Unsecured Networks, Tech-Savvy Students, and District Policy

School systems collect and maintain increasingly significant amounts of data and information on students, faculty, and staff and have a duty of care to ensure that sensitive information remains secure. Therefore, sitting and/or aspiring school leaders need to develop at least a basic understanding of data privacy and information security considerations. In this case, students discover a way to log in to internal district information systems and gain access to sensitive school and district data and information. School and district leaders are faced with the challenge of how to respond to such an information security breach and how to discipline the students. This case should cause sitting and/or aspiring school leaders to think deeply about and examine technology policies, information security protocols, as well as related school discipline policies.

Active Perception Network for Salient Object Detection

To get better saliency maps for salient object detection, recent methods fuse features from different levels of convolutional neural networks and have achieved remarkable progress. However, the differences between different feature levels bring difficulties to the fusion process, thus it may lead to unsatisfactory saliency predictions. To address this issue, we propose Active Perception Network (APN) to enhance inter-feature consistency for salient object detection. First, Mutual Projection Module (MPM) is developed to fuse different features, which uses high-level features as guided information to extract complementary components from low-level features, and can suppress background noises and improve semantic consistency. Self Projection Module (SPM) is designed to further refine the fused features, which can be considered as the extended version of residual connection. Features that pass through SPM can produce more accurate saliency maps. Finally, we propose Head Projection Module (HPM) to aggregate global information, which brings strong semantic consistency to the whole network. Comprehensive experiments on five benchmark datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches on different evaluation metrics.

Algorithms and individuals

Artificial Intelligence or really digital algorithms that run our lives are common digital recipes. It is in our nature to recapitulate any successful sequence, but AI often replaces humans in a manner that lacks transparency, design, and accountability, and without empathy. A particular program called Compas, defended with a lot of statistical bravado, is used to make decisions about whether prisoners will be paroled. I find that the predictive power of Compas is slight, less than credit scores.

Usability Evaluation of Virtual Keyboard Supporting Touch Area Optimization Through Input Pattern Learning

Objective: The purpose of this study was to verify the usability of two typical smartphone virtual keyboards that optimize the touch area of each key by learning touch input patterns.BRBRBackground: Virtual keyboards have many limitations due to their small size and lack of tactile feedback. Therefore, many studies have been conducted to improve the usability of the virtual keyboard. Among them, the verification on the usefulness of a virtual keyboard, with which optimizes the user’s touch area by learning his or her input pattern, is still insufficient.BRBRMethod: In this study, the participants performed the task of inputting presented sentences using three virtual keyboards (Nota, AL, and Smartboard) that provide different levels of touch optimization support. Through the experiment, sentence matching ratio and typing time data were collected, and subjective satisfaction were also rated after the typing task was finished.BRBRResults: There were significant differences in the sentence matching ratio, typing time, and subjective satisfaction between Nota, AL and Smartboard. The Nota keyboard showed significantly better performances than the Smartboard in all respects. However, the AL keyboard showed no significant difference in sentence matching ratio and typing time compared to the Smartboard without such optimization function. Rather, the AL keyboard was less satisfied than the Smartboard.BRBRConclusion: Automatically optimizing the touch area based on users
LF+ in Coq for "fast and loose" reasoning

We develop the metatheory and the implementation of LF+, and discuss several applications. LF+ capitalizes on research work, carried out by the authors over more than a decade, on Logical Frameworks. It builds on various conservative extensions of LF, which feature lock-type constructors, and on the new perspectives offered by its novel shallow implementation in Coq. The L^P(N:sigma)[.] constructor, and its binding variant L^P(?x:sigma)[.], capture monadically the concept of  inhabitability up-to. They were originally introduced  for  factoring-out, postponing, or delegating to  external tools the verification of time-consuming judgments, which are morally proof-irrelevant, thus allowing for integrating different sources of epistemic evidence in a unique Logical Framework. Experimenting with locks has shown that they are also a very flexible tool for expressing in Type Theory several diverse cognitive attitudes and mental strategies used in ordinary reasoning. These range from the emerging paradigm of  fast and loose reasoning, which trades off efficiency for correctness, as in naive Set Theory, or in computer architecture and distributed systems, when branch prediction and optimistic concurrency control are implemented. Lock-types naturally express also Typical Ambiguity provisos, squash' types, and many forms of reasoning-up-to.

Natural reading rooms “a strategy to strengthen reading skills”

The following article, arises from the reflection of the research “Natural Reading Rooms - A strategy to strengthen reading competence” part of the Master in Education Deepening modality of the Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia, the general objective was to strengthen the reading competence through the implementation of natural reading rooms with the fifth grade students of the Tomas Vasquez Rodriguez Technical Educational Institution from Paipa in the Sativa and la Bolsa Headquarters. This research was framed within the qualitative approach because it was sought to describe from the creation of natural reading rooms, conceived as a novel and attractive space, where nature is the classroom and the learning environment is created from reading. Within an Action Research design, workshops were implemented where students are integrated with environmental education, seeking to develop Eco-critical thinking. Initially, the causes of the low reading and writing rates in the students were identified, in order to design and implement the natural reading rooms. As a conclusion, the natural reading rooms represent a strategy to strengthen the reading communicative competence, promoting the reading habit to project the students as future readers, interested in reading, who enjoy it in a natural and free environment, infecting students wth the love for reading and taking advantage of all the learning capacity.
A Comparative Analysis of Mobile Applications Development Approaches

As we know there are many approaches are available now a days to develop mobile applications. But it is very difficult to choose by a developer which approach will be better. To understand this a comparative analysis of mobile applications development approaches are needed. Based on this analysis a developer can easily go for best approach. Over the last decade mobile technologies progressed immensely and mobile market went through a very turbulent phase that brought a lot of changes. It is thus important for software developers not to intractably keep to their previous assumptions, technologies and development approaches without studying the situation in context of their current mobile application development approaches.
Design and Development of Integration of Physical and Juridical Data Application in Complete Systematic Land Registration Activities

Collection of physical data and juridical data should be carried out together and simultaneously to reduce the potential for errors in identifying land divisions. The incomparable amount between the physical task force and the juridical task force causes the achievement of the juridical task force to be slower compared tothat of the physical task force. The complete systematic land registration target is increasing year by year and the progress of information technology is a potential solution to overcome the problems of physical data and juridical data integration. This study aims to design applications to speed up physical and juridical data connections, test the feasibility of external factors and the quality of use of ISO-9126. The study method used in the application design integration of physical data and juridical data is the research and development method. It was conducted by testing the results of the user evaluation test questionnaire processing on the external factor of feasibility test ISO-9126 and quality in using ISO 9126 to 26 respondents. The results of this study show that the application design has several stages including (1) planning, (2) design, (3) application construction, and (4)application implementation. Integration of physical and juridical data can be done by uploading juridical data into the application. Then, when the physical task force is in the location of the land division and place a coordinate point in the middle of the land division oriented to satellite imagery, the midpoint of the landdivision is then combined with the measured land division. The feasibility test of the application design on the external factors ISO-9126 has a sufficient value, so that the application can continue to be developed. Meanwhile, the ISO-9126 quality in use test value is high.

The introduction of Canvas at Reykjavík University

The scope of implemented projects differs in size and impact, and this is especially true in new software implementation projects. In 2017 Reykjavik University implemented a new Learning management system (LMS) which replaced the LMS part of the older platform, Myschool. Like its predecessor system Myschool, the objective was to enhance the faculty, administration, and student experience and ensure that the system is accepted by all. The aim of this research is an examination of the process of system implementation at Reykjavik University and to provide lessons learned with the learning management system and its implementation to enhance change processes in the future. To evaluate the implementation, process the theoretical literature of change management combined with IT-related literature was compared to the implementation process as described by the implementation team and the users experience from teachers and students. Data was extracted using qualitative methods in form of nine interviews to examine how Reykjavik University conducted its implementation of Canvas. The main findings from the interviews were that the technological aspect of the implementation was a success. None of the users faulted the implementation team on their work, but two of the teachers did not like the selected system. The students did not miss the old system but complained about teachers not having the skills to fully utilize Canvas. It came as a surprise that the implementation team had a discussion regarding using change management tactics but decided there was not a need for it in this implementation. This research concludes that by not deliberately using change management tactics the implementation team missed opportunities in the form of less user acceptance. It can be argued that the consequence of this is that teachers are not fully utilizing Canvas, which is contrary to the implementation teams’ vision, for the future of teaching habits at Reykjavik University.Keywords: Change management, Information technology, Implementation, User acceptance, Organizational transformation
Extending the self: Player-avatar relations and presence among U.S. and Chinese gamers

This study investigated how player-avatar interaction (PAX) and player-avatar relationship (PAR) are associated with spatial presence, social presence, and self-presence in video games, and additionally how the associations differ between Chinese and American players. American and Chinese players were recruited to answer a survey king about these variables. The survey was translated from English to Chinese for the different samples. Regression models and ANOVA analysis were used to analyze data, and the results revealed several significant associations between dimensions of PAX and the three types of presence. Additionally, results indicated that player-avatar relationships characterized by identity play and extension are generally associated with higher level of presence than the other two relationship types. Cultural differences were also found, with American and Chinese players differing in how PAR associated with social presence. Thus, the present study adds more understanding to presence in video game, avatar-moderated gameplay, and cross-cultural differences in video gaming, and suggests avenues for future research.
