The Role of Technology in Higher Education

Present status and use for educational purposes, technology is fulfilling an ever increasing role in both the traditional education field, and in other fields which are utilizing technology for educational purposes. Within the educational field we can see technology as a means of removing barriers for students and teachers alike. First, technology can remove financial and geographical barriers through distributed learning. This allows students and teachers to experience educational opportunities that they might have otherwise never been able to encounter. Second, technology is bringing about a new focus on problem and skill based learning. Information databases are being used to assist teachers in the acquisition of new knowledge and provide professional support outside of the traditional professional development seminar. In regards to future action, we should continue to utilize the successful trends in education as a means to fulfil their developmental potential and see increased impacts on our field. In particular, we should continue the use of distance learning as a means of professional development for teachers, by providing more opportunities aimed at improving their job related performance. Distance learning for students should also be an area of focus by providing software that allows for increasing authenticity in simulations, multimedia content, and social connections. We should continue to focus on technology that allows students to interact with other students and environments located outside of their current environment, locality, and culture. Information systems are also in need of continual investment. Information systems perform two important roles for the educational system: Focus on this paper, technology has already served an important role in education in multiple fields. Specifically, technology has been of great use to the educational field in terms of its focus on improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the educational experiences of both students and teachers. Continued use and development of technology can serve to further benefit the educational field and recommendations based on the development of existing trends in education should be pursued for great gains in educational achievement. 

The Scope of Newspaper as a Futuristic Medium for Publicity

The news paper as a medium for publicity and Advertisements is losing its luster and relevance in America and some western countries. But the same medium has shown remarkable growth in India. Circulation increased by more than 23 million copies a day between 2006 and 2016, according to a new report from India's Audit Bureau of Circulation. That's average growth of nearly 5% per year. Meanwhile, circulation came down in major Western countries including the U.S. (-3%), France (-6%), Germany (-9%) and the U.K. (-12%). Despite the strong growth of digital media in India, the traditional formats of television and print still account for the largest portion of total media ad expenditure. India remains somewhat unusual in that print revenues continue to grow, with newspapers specifically still serving as an effective way for advertisers to reach a significant audience. The research reports point out that newspaper growth was really coming from papers published in Hindi and in other local languages and dialects—generally referred to collectively as “vernacular” papers. English is used in India’s largest cities, leaving readers in smaller cities and rural areas with an appetite for content in their local languages. The scope of the present research paper is to identify reasons for this and futuristic scope for news paper as a medium for publicity

INNOVATIVE TEACHING METHODS IN CONTEMPORARY EDUCATION

The main strategy of modern education should focus on the student's independent activity, the organization of self-learning environments and experimental and practical training, where students have a choice of actions and can use initiative as well as flexible training programs where students can work in a comfortable rhythm. Today, we should talk about the use of interactive methods of training, which encourage interest in the profession promote the efficient acquisition of training material form patterns of conduct provide high motivation, strength, knowledge, team spirit and freedom of expression and most importantly, contribute to the complex competences of future specialists. We will give an overview of the modern teaching methods that are most widespread in the scientific and methodological literature and have the potential to form the competences of future professionals. The training, case study, behavioural modelling, peer feedback, play project, metaphor game, storytelling, basket and action learning methods and their potential in professional training are briefly described

TEACHER EDUCATION FROM E-LEARNER TO E-TEACHER

E-learning and e-teaching systems are involved in teachers professional activities and development in several ways (a) If e-learning/e-teaching is the technology which supports the process of teachers learning of university courses, the teacher is in the position of e-learner; (b) If e-learning/e-teaching is the content of the teachers university curricula in order to be applied in the teaching process, the teacher switches from the position of e learner to the one of e-teacher in blended or total e-learning systems. Systematic formal teacher education concerning e-learning/e-teaching implementation, and the structure of teachers ICT competencies and e-competencies, as well as the reasons for their occurrence, are considered. Teachers can be in a position of the creator of e-teaching process or the user of the e-teaching/e-learning attainment. Teachers need to re-think their underlying assumptions about teaching, about learning process, and, most fundamentally, about their role as educators. Teacher activities in e-teaching scenarios can be broken into two major tasks: providing the content for the students and supporting communication between students and tutors. Both tasks pose problems to teachers who are used to follow more traditional teaching methods so far. Therefore, modern teachers and e-teachers must be able to organize different types of e-learning and e-teaching scenarios. E-teaching requires a wide spectrum of e-roles. It is necessary for teachers in e-education environment to acquire sufficient knowledge about e-teaching and e-learning. e-learning can contribute to addressing each challenge by enhancing the preparation of new teachers, providing high quality and readily accessible professional development opportunities for active teachers, and making the teaching profession more attractive. The paper suggests that e-learning potential is a powerful tool for directing the teacher’s quality challenges and obtaining e-teaching competencies. E-learning for teachers must reflect the principles of effective teachers’ professional development

A New Feature Extraction Approach to Extract Area of Expertise from Resumes to Augment the Hiring Process

Text Feature extraction is a process of detecting and discovering promising data from a large unordered textual data set. The main objective of the feature extraction process is to unearth the promising data and transmit them in to acceptable format to help in decision making. With the ever evolving digital technology number of resumes posted everyday seeking for a job increases steeply and this voluminous data intricate the recruitment firms to identify the right candidate for the right job. The main objective of this paper is to deals with a new feature extraction approach using ranking based frequent text occurrences to extract promising texts from the resume dataset and reduces the hiring agencies manual work considerably, reduces the dimensionality of the data to a larger extent and thereby reduces the running or execution time and memory footprints required largely when compared with the existing approaches

An Enhanced Cuckoo Search for Optimization of Bloom Filter in Spam Filtering

Bloom Filter BF is a simple but powerful data structure that can check membership to a static set The tradeoff to use Bloom filter is a certain configurable risk of false positives The odds of a false positive can be made very low if the hash bitmap is sufficiently large Spam is an irrelevant or inappropriate message sent on the internet to a large number of newsgroups or users A spam word is a list of well-known words that often appear in spam mails The proposed system of Bin Bloom Filter BBF groups the words into number of bins with different false positive rates based on the weights of the spam words An Enhanced Cuckoo Search ECS algorithm is employed to minimize the total membership invalidation cost of the BFs by finding the optimal false positive rates and number of elements stored in every bin The experimental results have demonstrated for CS and ECS for various numbers of bin

Anti Homomorphism in Fuzzy Subgroups

On the basis of fuzzy sets introduced by L.A. Zadeh, we first gave the definition of fuzzy subgroups and fuzzy normal subgroups. This paper proves a necessary and sufficient condition of fuzzy subgroup (normal subgroup) to be fuzzy subgroup (normal subgroup). We introduced the notion of anti fuzzy subgroups and their related properties. Finally, behaviour of these anti fuzzy subgroups (normal subgroups) under group homomorphism have been discussed. We define a notion of homomorphism and anti homomorphism of multi L-fuzzy subgroup and investigate some of its properties. This paper contains the definition and result of anti L-fuzzy normal subgroup is being given using homomorphism and anti homomorphism
