II (Sep-Oct. 2014), PP 88-95 www.iosrjournals.org Different Hype Cycle Viewpoints for an E-Learning System Logica Banica1 1Faculty of Economics, University of Pitesti, Romania Abstract: This paper uses Gartner Group’s Hype Cycle as an analysis tool for the e-learning platform integration process at the University of Pitesti. The platform was installed three years ago and during this time there were many points of view (by major user groups) regarding the usefulness and adoption rate. Based on this fact, according to us, the e-learning Hype Cycle has two graphical representations, two variation curves that have the first part identical but differ significantly in the following two stages, differences that disappear in the end. Based on our analysis, we found necessary to improve the management strategies, to better motivate the teachers in order for them to reach the same level of interested shown by the students in using the system, and thus bringing the two educational groups to the same opinion. We have depicted all this evolution and the different points of view by the Hype Cycle curve, that should be only one for the 5th year of system presence in our institution, a convergence reached a bit too late in the IT world, where software solutions have a limited life cycle. Keywords: Hype Cycle, e-learning, academic collaboration I. Introduction This paper is a new approach of our research on learning systems related to the academic domain: e- learning.

  • Pervasive Data Analytics, Uncertainty and Policy Intervention in Disruptive Technology and Its Geographic Spread
    International Journal of Geo-Information Concept Paper Taming Disruption? Pervasive Data Analytics, Uncertainty and Policy Intervention in Disruptive Technology and its Geographic Spread Roger C. Brackin 1,*, Michael J. Jackson 1, Andrew Leyshon 1 and Jeremy G. Morley 2 1 School of Geography University of Nottingham, Nottingham NG7 2RD, UK; [email protected] (M.J.J.); [email protected] (A.L.) 2 Ordnance Survey, Southamption SO16 0AS, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 25 November 2018; Accepted: 10 January 2019; Published: 16 January 2019 Abstract: The topic of technology development and its disruptive effects has been the subject of much debate over the last 20 years with numerous theories at both macro and micro scales offering potential models of technology progression and disruption. This paper focuses on how theories of technology progression may be integrated and considers whether suitable indicators of this progression and any subsequent disruptive effects might be derived, based on the use of big data analytic techniques. Given the magnitude of the economic, social, and political implications of many disruptive technologies, the ability to quantify disruptive change at the earliest possible stage could deliver major returns by reducing uncertainty, assisting public policy intervention, and managing the technology transition through disruption into deployment. However, determining when this stage has been reached is problematic because small random effects in the timing, direction of development, the availability of essential supportive technologies or “platform” technologies, market response or government policy can all result in failure of a technology, its form of adoption or optimality of implementation.

  • Philosophy, Emergence, Crowdledge, and Science Education
    Themes in Science & Technology Education, 8(2), 115-127, 2015 Big Data: Philosophy, emergence, crowdledge, and science education Renato P. dos Santos [email protected] PPGECIM- Doctoral Program in Science and Mathematics Education, ULBRA-Lutheran University of Brazil, Brazil Abstract. Big Data already passed out of hype, is now a field that deserves serious academic investigation, and natural scientists should also become familiar with Analytics. On the other hand, there is little empirical evidence that any science taught in school is helping people to lead happier, more prosperous, or more politically well-informed lives. In this work, we seek support in the Philosophy and Constructionism literatures to discuss the realm of the concepts of Big Data and its philosophy, the notions of ‘emergence’ and crowdledge, and how we see learning-with-Big-Data as a promising new way to learn Science. Keywords: Science education, philosophy of Big Data, learning-with-Big-Data, emergence, crowdledge Introduction The growing number of debates, discussions, and writings “demonstrates a pronounced lack of consensus about the definition, scope, and character of what falls within the purview of Big Data” (Ekbia et al., 2015). The usual ‘definition’ of Big Data as “datasets so large and complex that they become awkward to work with using on-hand database management tools” (Snijders, Matzat, & Reips, 2012) is unsatisfactory, if for no other reason than the circular problem of defining “big” with “large” (Floridi, 2012). In (dos Santos, 2016), we have already discussed a possible comprehensive definition of Big Data. Among the many available definitions of Big Data, we find the following one a most insightful for the purposes of this study: “Big data is more than simply a matter of size; it is an opportunity to find insights in new and emerging [emphasis added] types of data and content, to make your business more agile, and to answer questions that were previously considered beyond your reach” (IBM, 2011).

  • The Next Big Thing We Won't Be Able to Live Without? Fulbright's Half-Life
    2015 ASCUE Proceedings The Next Big Thing We Won’t Be Able to Live Without? Fulbright’s Half-Life Theory Gives Us Some Ideas Ron Fulbright University of South Carolina Upstate 800 University Way Spartanburg, SC 29303 (864)503-5683 [email protected] Abstract My great-grandparents lived one-half of their lives without electricity. My grandparents lived one-half of their lives without a telephone. My parents lived one-half of their lives without a television. My sister has lived one-half of her life without a computer and I have lived one-half of my life without Google. Today, we could not imagine life without these must-have technologies. With the current college student being about 20 years old, we ask ourselves what must-have technology will this generation live one-half of their lives without? Whatever it is currently is in research labs, will probably be an early product in the 2020-2025 time frame, and become a life-changing technology in 2030-2040. It will change the way we live, work, recreate, and will make billions of dollars. But, it won't be anything we know and love and use today. What are some of the possibilities? This subject yields wonderful in-class discussion in any college-level course and gives students a different way to perceive their place in history. Introduction Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, each generation has witnessed the advent and mass adoption of technologies we now view as indispensable to our daily lives. At some point in their lives the “must-have” technology was not available.

  • Trends Driving the Next Wave of Technologies
    Trends driving the next wave of technologies By Brian Burke Supporting technological innovation (Image credit: Shutterstock / carlos castilla) As technology innovation leaders, CTOs and CIOs progress through different stages of digital transformation much earlier than the rest of society. It is becoming imperative for their roles to stay up to date with emerging technologies that will impact their industries and create opportunities their organization can leverage for growth. Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies explores the opportunities for organizations in their search for technology-enabled business transformation. This year’s Hype Cycle highlights 30 technology profiles that will significantly change society and business over the next five to 10 years. Present in each emerging technology are five drivers driving trends that, if harnessed in day-to-day business, will make sure your company is ready to ride the next wave of technology innovation. Trust in algorithms As the amount of consumer data increases rapidly, organizations have been exposed for implementing biased AI, sharing customers personal data, and distributing fake news. This has ultimately led to consumer distrust for central authorities within organizations when it comes to privacy issues, resulting in a shift from trusting organizations to trusting algorithms. Algorithmic trust models ensure the privacy and security of data, provenance of assets, and the identities of people and things. To start rebuilding trust with your customers, employees and partners, organizations should examine the following technologies: Secure access service edge (SASE) Differential privacy Authenticated provenance Bring your own identity (BYOI) Responsible AI Explainable AI For example, the use of blockchain technology is being applied for “authenticated provenance”, authenticating assets to ensure they’re not fake or counterfeit.

  • Planes, Cars, and Ancillary Revenues Car Rental Moves Ahead As a Lucrative Source of Ancillary Revenue for Airlines and the Travel Industry
    Issued: January 31, 2011 Planes, Cars, and Ancillary Revenues Car rental moves ahead as a lucrative source of ancillary revenue for airlines and the travel industry. Four Wheels and No Wings Most airline executives know as much about the car rental business as any business traveler. They might even know less. For those in the car hire business, the opposite is true. The success of any car rental company has traditionally been determined by the health of the airline industry. When the airline industry sneezes, car rental companies usually catch a cold. Car rental executives have always been very aware that air travel is almost always booked first. When is travel booked? Air travel 44.1 days before travel Hotel accommodations 41.7 days before travel Car rental 19.4 days before travel Source: Amadeus study referenced in Travolution Summit 2009 by Gillian Gibson April 2009. That‟s why car rental companies are eager to secure exclusive distribution deals with airline websites and aggressively seek participation in frequent flier programs. These deals have been good for car rental companies . but might not be the most lucrative for airlines. This report will help airline executives learn how car rentals can contribute more ancillary revenue for carriers. Similar to the airline industry, very humble beginnings marked the car rental industry‟s birth. Martin Sixt started renting cars in Munich in 1912 with a fleet of seven vehicles.1 The company continues to carry the name of its founder almost 100 years later. A fellow in Nebraska named Joe Saunders is regarded as starting the business in America.
