  • Online Experimentation at Microsoft
    This is a public version of a Microsoft ThinkWeek paper that was recognized as top-30 in late 2009 Online Experimentation at Microsoft Ronny Kohavi Thomas Crook Roger Longbotham [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Brian Frasca Randy Henne Juan Lavista Ferres Tamir Melamed [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Controlled experiments, also called randomized experiments and A/B tests, have had a profound influence on multiple fields, including medicine, agriculture, manufacturing, and advertising. Through randomization and proper design, experiments allow establishing causality scientifically, which is why they are the gold standard in drug tests. In software development, multiple techniques are used to define product requirements; controlled experiments provide a valuable way to assess the impact of new features on customer behavior. At Microsoft, we have built the capability for running controlled experiments on web sites and services, thus enabling a more scientific approach to evaluating ideas at different stages of the planning process. In our previous papers, we did not have good examples of controlled experiments at Microsoft; now we do! The humbling results we share bring to question whether a-priori prioritization is as good as most people believe it is. The Experimentation Platform (ExP) was built to accelerate innovation through trustworthy experimentation. Along the way, we had to tackle both technical and cultural challenges and we provided software developers, program managers, and designers the benefit of an unbiased ear to listen to their customers and make data-driven decisions. A technical survey of the literature on controlled experiments was recently published by us in a journal (Kohavi, Longbotham, Sommerfield, & Henne, 2009).

"The store customers have already been sent guidance on the issue and suggested immediate actions," the spokesman said, adding that Microsoft was "diligently working to remedy the issue and keep our customers protected." Two years ago, cyber-attackers identifying themselves as the "Pakistan Cyber Army" hacked the website of India's top police agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation. Indian IT specialists have long lamented what they say is a lack of awareness about Internet security across the country. Microsoft India's retail website was down after reportedly being hacked by a Chinese group calling itself Evil (c) 2012 AFP Shadow Team. Microsoft said Monday it was investigating an attack by hackers on its Indian retail website, reportedly carried out by a Chinese group called the "Evil Shadow Team." The team struck at www.microsoftstore.co.in late Sunday, stealing login IDs and passwords of people who had used the website for buying Microsoft products, the Times of India newspaper said. After hacking the site, the Evil Shadow Team posted a message saying that the "unsafe system will be baptized," the Times of India said. The Microsoft site was running a message Monday saying that the "Microsoft Store India is currently unavailable" and that the world's largest software company was working "to restore access as quickly as possible."

  • International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning Volume 4, Number 1
    Vol 4 No 1 April 2003 International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning Volume 4, Number 1. ISSN: 1492-3831 April – 2003 Reflections on Student Support in Open and Distance Learning Alan Tait, Guest Editor Faculty of Education and Language Studies Open University UK This is a very interesting moment to reflect on Student Support in Open and Distance Learning (ODL). After some 10 years of the radical intrusion of a range of technologies, principally those grouped around what has been broadly termed ICT, we have the chance to see if and how the world of ODL has qualitatively changed. I suggest that those of us who began our careers more than a decade ago are like those survivors in a landscape painting of a battle, peering about the field while some wisps of smoke still hang in the air from earlier cannon barrage. But the battle that the picture represents is over. There are new authorities in place, and of course there are losers: those who have lost power if not their lives. We look to see who has died, which amongst the wounded can be given help, while those who walk away wonder if the world has really changed. Have we just substituted one set of powerful rulers for another? Or has the way we live our lives been altered forever? To begin with a historical perspective on the European context, as is well known correspondence education is said to have begun in England in 1844 with Isaac Pitman's shorthand course delivered by correspondence, using the new postal system, enabled in its turn by the rail system that was beginning to make travel and communication across England quicker than ever before (Shrestha, 1997).
