Camino Browser Download Exams camino browser download Exams. We assess our students on a regular basis, but we rarely stop to evaluate the assessment! Does your test assess student knowledge at the level you intended (e.g., descriptive, evaluate, apply, analyze)? Does it address the most important learning objectives of a unit or the course? Will the exam preparation and test itself encourage students to consolidate their knowledge and even extend their understanding of the material? Evaluating tests—usually those tests with true-false, multiple choice, and short answer questions—includes investigating the test—e.g., measuring reliability and validity—and the individual questions—e.g., measuring difficulty and discrimination. The following descriptions offer more detail about each method of measurement: Reliability – How consistently does the test assess student achievement of the learning outcomes? Validity – How well does the test represent the knowledge or skills students need to achieve the learning outcomes? Difficulty – How hard is each question to answer? Calculated as the percentage of students who answered the question correctly. Discrimination – How well does each test question differentiate between students who perform well on the test—e.g., highest quartile—and those who perform poorly—e.g., lowest quartile? Evaluating your tests does not mean you are trying to make the tests easier. It means you are making sure each test is fair, covers material students should have experienced through your class, and consistently assesses achievement of specific learning outcomes. Learning management systems like Canvas (SCU's Camino) simplify the process quite a bit, by allowing you to review statistics related to the quiz results and even download a quiz item analysis . If analysis shows a question is very difficult, check the wording of both the question and response options. If the question itself is misleading, then you may choose to throw out that question. If a response option other than the correct one is partially true or correct in a different context, then you may choose to rescore that question and count the other response as correct or partially correct. In some cases, you may be drawing from pools or banks of test questions provided by a textbook publisher. Be sure to vet the questions before using them in a test, or evaluate those tests when you first use them. Online Exams. Facilitating an online exam can present some unique logistical challenges. Below are a few tips to consider when creating an online exam. Camino Quizzes. Use these steps to differentiate your quiz if you need to alter due dates or times for one or many students. This is for students who will be taking the same quiz but at a different day or time. Use these steps to moderate your quiz if you need to provide additional time or attempts for an individual student. This is for students who receive additional time, for students who inadvertently submit their quiz, or for students who need additional time or attempts due to technical difficulties occurring during the quiz. Make sure the quiz does not close before the additional time for a student is up. The "Available Until" date and time should be the time the last student has to complete the quiz. Avoid fill-in-the-blank questions. Students are provided unlimited options for entry, but their answer will have to match the answer character-for-character in order to be marked as correct. Make sure to use settings so that students cannot see the correct answers after the quiz . A good strategy is to create a date range to display the correct answers after every student has taken the quiz, set a start date in the Show field, and set an ending date in the Hide field. Set a due date and time for the quiz. Students will see the time for the time zone of your class , and they can change that setting for their account. Essay Questions. Within Camino quizzes, you can include essay questions. Keep in mind, though, that if students spend a long time writing in the text box and then experience network connectivity issues, they could lose their work. There are two safeguards for this. You can recommend students write their responses in a separate document and then paste it over to the quiz, or you could create a File Upload question where students upload a PDF, Doc, or docx response. If you want to let students choose from a list of essay prompts, the best way to do this is to set up the essay as an assignment in Camino. This way, you can post the prompts and your grading criteria, and students can respond in a Google Doc or Word file. If you set up multiple essay prompts in a Camino quiz and ask students to only respond to a portion of them, they will automatically lose points for not filling out all the prompts. LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor. See this guide for detailed information about using LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor. Share the software link and Respondus guide with students well before the actual test so that they have time to prepare. Give students a low-stakes practice exam before the high-stakes assessment for them to work out any tech issues. Provide alternative assignments for students who are unable to use the software. Take a practice exam (available in the “Keep Calm and Carry On” Camino course ) to experience the software for yourself. Additional Resources.

'Camino' is a Web browser that combines two flavors: Mac OS X and Mozilla. This browser uses the same engine that is implemented in the FireFox browser. This browser is a true Mozilla product. The result of the Acid2 test confirms that too. This browser is a fast implementation of the Mozilla engine, Gecko. I am referring to the possibility to start this browser very quickly and to the Webpage's fast rendering speed. This is one of the fastest browsers for Mac OS X. Most of the fast browsers that I tested on this Mac had issues. Some of them were poor implementations of the Apple engine and some weren't ergonomic at all. This browser has an efficient and highly customizable interface. I was disappointed, when I found out that Camino doesn't have a session saving functionality. However, since Google is my friend, I found that there is a CaminoSession program, which enables that kind of functionality in Camino. This browser doesn't have some features that Firefox does. Camino doesn't have the extension support, it doesn't support search plug-in, and it doesn't have an auto-completion feature for the text boxes on the Web pages that you visit. However, you can find features like pop-up blocking. The notification is not very intuitive, so you have to be careful when you need to enable a requested pop-up. The 'Preferences' panel is quite simple. It just gives you the minimal set of options that you need to customize the behavior of this browser. If you used Firefox before, configuring this panel won't be an issue at all. Pluses: It's fast. It uses low resources. It's ergonomic and it's highly customizable. Drawbacks / flaws: It doesn't have a session saving functionality, by default. It doesn't have a good auto-completion feature. Opening links that target into a new window open a new window of the browser, instead of just opening a new tab inside the browsing window that you currently use. In conclusion: If you want a really fast browser and you can live without some features that you can find in Firefox, Opera, or OmniWeb, then Camino is a good option. It also provides a good user interface unlike other Mozilla products. Well, SeaMonkey, a Mozilla product, is a browser that isn't that customizable. version reviewed: 1.0.3. Camino Publisher's Description. Camino (formerly known as Chimera) is a web browser for Mac OS X that has a Cocoa user interface, and embeds the Gecko layout engine. It is intended to be a simple, small and fast browser for Mac OS X. Considered one of the fastest Web browsers on Mac OS X, Camino also integrates tightly with the platform, adopting the refined style, user- focused. Why I Still Use the Camino Browser Almost Every Day. Camino is a port of Netscape specifically to Mac OS X. It began in late 2001 when Mike Pinkerton and Vidur Apparao launched a proof-of- concept project to embed Netscape’s Gecko rendering engine in a Cocoa application. Cocoa is Apple’s native object-oriented application programming interface (API) for Mac OS X and is rooted in NeXTstep, which Apple acquired along with Steve Jobs at the end of 1996. Dave Hyatt, one of the co-creators of Firefox (the next generation of Netscape), joined the team in early 2002 and built Chimera, a small, lightweight browser wrapper, around their work. A chimera is a mythological beast with parts taken from various animals, and the new browser was a hybrid of C++ and Objective-C, combining Netscape’s Gecko engine and other traditional Netscape bones and muscles under a Cocoa and Carbon skin. (Carbon was a programming environment that supported both the Classic Mac OS and OS X; Cocoa is OS X only.) Low End Mac probably looks just like this in your modern, up-to-date browser.

    INTRODUCTION Arguably the most popular search engine available today, Google is widely known for its unparalleled search engine technology, embodied in the web page ranking algorithm, PageRanki and running on an efficient distributed computer system. In fact, the verb “to Google” has ingrained itself in the vernacular as a synonym of “[performing] a web search.”1 The key to Google’s success has been its strategic use of both software and hardware information technologies. The IT infrastructure behind the search engine includes huge storage databases and numerous server farms to produce significant computational processing power. These critical IT components are distributed across multiple independent computers that provide parallel computing resources. This architecture has allowed Google’s business to reach a market capital over $100 billion and become one of the most respected and admirable companies in the world. MARKET ENVIRONMENTS Search Engine Internet search engines were first developed in the early 1990s to facilitate the sharing of information among researchers. The original effort to develop a tool for information search occurred simultaneously across multiple universities is shown in Table 1. Although functionalities of these systems were very limited, they provided the foundation for future web- based search engines. TABLE 1.

Search Industry During the 1990s, the Internet experienced exponential growth with thousands of new web pages being created daily. Online document search became the chief method of navigating the ever- expanding World Wide Web, as Internet users sought useful information among the largely disorganized pages.

  • Tls Performance
    TLS PERFORMANCE Masterarbeit zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Master of Science Verfasser: Richard Fussenegger, BSc Vorgelegt am FH-Masterstudiengang MultiMediaTechnology, Fachhochschule Salzburg Begutachtet durch: Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Peter Meerwald (Betreuer) Mag. (FH) Hannes Moser (Zweitgutachter) Thal, 1. Juni 2015 I Eidesstattliche Erklärung Hiermit versichere ich, Richard Fussenegger, geboren am 27. Juni 1985 in Bregenz, dass ich die Grundsätze wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen einge- halten habe und die vorliegende Masterarbeit von mir selbstständig verfasst wurde. Zur Erstellung wurden von mir keine anderen als die angegebenen Quellen und Hilfsmittel verwendet. Ich versichere, dass ich die Masterarbeit weder im In- noch Ausland bisher in ir- gendeiner Form als Prüfungsarbeit vorgelegt habe und dass diese Arbeit mit der den BegutachterInnen vorgelegten Arbeit übereinstimmt. Thal, am 1. Juni 2015 1210695017 Richard Fussenegger Personenkennzeichen II Kurzfassung Verschlüsselte Kommunikation ist ein Muss im Internet, die neuen Protokolle SPDY und HTTP/2 verpflichten quasi sogar dazu. Eine wichtige Frage die bleibt, ist, wie stark die Verschlüsselung sich auf die Leistung der Webkommunikation auswirkt. Vor etwas mehr als zehn Jahren variierte der Mehraufwand für den Einsatz von Transport Layer Security (TLS) zwischen einem Faktor von 3,5 und 9 gegenüber einer unverschlüsselten Kommunikation. Die Anforderungen an verschlüsselte Kommunikation sind in den letzten Jahren stark angestiegen und sehr viele Verfahren haben sich als unsicher und problematisch erwiesen. Schlüssellängen sind angewachsen und aufwendigere Verfahren kommen zum Einsatz für den Schlüsselaustausch. Es stellt sich somit die Frage ob schnellere Hardware, Webser- ver, Algorithmen und Implementierungen – wie damals angenommen – den Mehraufwand verschwindend gering machen, oder gegenwärtige Technologien nicht mit den erhöhten Anforderungen mithalten können.

  • Goodger: I Work at Google Contributing to the Mozilla Project
    Goodger: I work at Google contributing to the Mozilla project, primarily to Firefox and I continue to do the sort of the work that I’ve done for the past few years which is to play an active role in the development of new versions of Firefox from the early stages of each release cycle where we figure out what we want out of the next release through the planning, documentation and development, bug fixing and release, so a whole bunch of different things. OR: How did you come to work at Google for Mozilla? Goodger: Towards the end of 2004, we were shipping Firefox 1.0 and it was around that time that I had come in contact with several of the engineers here at Google and just was generally impressed by the enthusiasm of the people here, even over things that I thought superficially were boring tasks. They seem to make everything fun and it wasn’t long before in the process of working with them on these things that they sort of became fun for me, too, and I thought that was sort of infectious and I thought maybe after working with— working closely with the same set of people for the previous number of years which is about four years, maybe slightly more at the time, that if I were to come and work at Google I could potentially still work with those people but then also be exposed to a whole bunch of new people with different ideas and enthusiasm, so that was one of the reasons why I chose to come here.

  • Formerly Microsoft Internet Explorer, Commonly Abbreviated IE Or MSIE
    INTERNET EXPLORER Windows Internet Explorer (formerly Microsoft Internet Explorer, commonly abbreviated IE or MSIE) is a series of graphical web browsers developed by Microsoft and included as part of the Microsoft Windows line of operating systems, starting in 1995. It was first released as part of the add-on package Plus! for Windows 95 that year. Later versions were available as free downloads, or in service packs, and included in the OEM service releases of Windows 95 and later versions of Windows. Internet Explorer has been the most widely used web browser since 1999, attaining a peak of about 95% usage share during 2002 and 2003 with Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Explorer 6.[citation needed] Since its peak of popularity, its usage share has been declining in the face of renewed competition from other web browsers, and is 34.27% as of January 2012. It had been slightly higher, 43.55% as of February 2011, just prior to the release of the current version. Microsoft spent over $100 million USD per year on Internet Explorer in the late 1990s,[1] with over 1000 people working on it by 1999. Since its first release, Microsoft has added features and technologies such as basic table display (in version 1.5); XMLHttpRequest (in version 5), which aids creation of dynamic web pages; and Internationalized Domain Names (in version 7), which allow Web sites to have native-language addresses with non-Latin characters. The browser has also received scrutiny throughout its development for use of third-party technology (such as the source code of Spyglass Mosaic, used without royalty in early versions) and security and privacy vulnerabilities, and both the United States and the European Union have alleged that integration of Internet Explorer with Windows has been to the detriment of other browsers.
