Образовательные инициативы Oracle: нынешние и будущие

Educators worldwide are working to transform education through personalized learning, improved teacher development and performance, enhanced access to information, and more efficient management of the processes that facilitate teaching, learning, and research. The Oracle Academy offers a complete portfolio of software, curriculum, hosted technology, faculty training, support, and certification resources to education institutions globally. Students gain hands-on experience with the latest technologies and develop industry-relevant skills prior to entering the workplace. Oracle Programming Olympics combines two nominations SQL and Java and covers all federal districts of Russia Federation and Ukraine and Kazakhstan as well. The ThinkQuest Competition engages students from schools, colleges and universities to solve a problem using their technology, critical thinking, and communication skill

Leveraging Wireless Broadband to Improve Police Land Mobile Radio Programming: Estimating the Resource Impact

Despite rapid growth in criminological studies of police technology, examinations of police land mobile radios are absent in the literature. This is troubling given the central role mobile radios serve in police operations and their significant management costs. The present study seeks to fill this gap by introducing the functionality of wireless broadband radio programming. Current practice requires a police officer to physically drive to a radio programming location to manage their mobile radio. Wireless programming remedies this burdensome reality, thereby saving officer time and cost. Geospatial analyses are used to estimate distance saved associated with wireless programming. We then conduct a number of calculations to determine time and cost savings related to the observed differences between existing and wireless radio programming within the context of the North Carolina State Highway Patrol. Results suggest wireless radio programming can save significant personnel and financial resources. Implications are discussed

The future of technology enhanced active learning – a roadmap

The notion of active learning refers to the active involvement of learner in the learning process, capturing ideas of learning-by-doing and the fact that active participation and knowledge construction leads to deeper and more sustained learning. Interactivity, in particular learnercontent interaction, is a central aspect of technology-enhanced active learning. In this roadmap, the pedagogical background is discussed, the essential dimensions of technology-enhanced active learning systems are outlined and the factors that are expected to influence these systems currently and in the future are identified. A central aim is to address this promising field from a best practices perspective, clarifying central issues and formulating an agenda for future developments in the form of a roadmap

Analytical modelling in Dynamo

BIM is applied as modern database for civil engineering. Its recent development allows to preserve both structure geometrical and analytical information. The analytical model described in the paper is derived directly from BIM model of a structure automatically but in most cases it requires manual improvements before being sent to FEM software. Dynamo visual programming language was used to handle the analytical data. Authors developed a program which corrects faulty analytical model obtained from BIM geometry, thus providing better automation for preparing FEM model. Program logic is explained and test cases shown
