Launch of Tendring's District Council e-learning TREVORPaul McElvaney
Ìý
Tendring District Council developed an online learning resource called TREVOR (Tendring's REVolutionary Online Resource). They promoted TREVOR through posters around the council buildings without revealing what it was, generating curiosity. On the launch day, staff could indicate which courses they wanted on TREVOR. The most popular requests gave the council leverage to request those courses from department heads. Branding TREVOR helped promote online categories. The low-cost launch was successful due to help from an IT team and promotions that generated interest without revealing details.
ºÝºÝߣShare is a website that allows users to upload, view, and share presentation files. It can be accessed at http://www.slideshare.net, where users can search for presentations by topic, author, or category. To use ºÝºÝߣShare, one creates an account to log in, uploads presentation files, saves them, and then posts them to share. While it provides inspiration and easy viewing and sharing of presentations, ºÝºÝߣShare can also lead to viewing inappropriate content or wasting time browsing without direction.
The document discusses the Java Technology for Wireless Industry (JTWI) Specification and Certification. It defines requirements for Java ME APIs that help create portable applications for wireless devices. The JTWI specification defines requirements over APIs like CLDC, MIDP, WMA, and MMAPI. It also sets minimum hardware requirements for things like screen size, number of colors, memory and more. The document provides an overview of the key areas covered in the JTWI specification and certification.

The document discusses a survey conducted by the American Library Association and University of Illinois on behalf of the DeWitt Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund regarding youth programs offered by public libraries. Key findings include:
- Nearly all libraries offer reading programs, while over 80% offer cultural programs and many collaborate with schools and community groups. However, only about 1/3 offer computer classes and fewer than 25% offer homework help or career development programs.
- Programs are largely geared toward elementary students, with fewer for middle and high schoolers. Very few target low-income communities.
- While libraries are committed to serving youth, budgets for youth services are not always adequate and librarians are stretched thin in coordinating
The document discusses KDE as a professional desktop environment. It provides an overview of KDE, including that it is a free software community project that has been developing open source desktop and application software for 15 years. It also outlines some of KDE's key applications and discusses how KDE can be used as a solution for business environments.
The document discusses safeguarding adults in Warwickshire. It provides an overview of national safeguarding policies, feedback from a national consultation, and proposed updates from the Law Commission. It then outlines steps Warwickshire is taking to implement national guidance, including developing a multi-year strategy, improving training through e-learning modules, and emphasizing that safeguarding is a shared responsibility.
The Surf Life Saving Association of Wales (SLSAW) aims to prevent drowning through lifesaving and competition. It currently has 2500 members across 26 clubs in Wales. Training is delivered manually by club trainers with testing done in beach environments. SLSAW plans to develop an e-learning system to provide more consistent, accessible training given the geography of Wales. The initial system will include online learning modules, tests, and materials for surf lifeguard and junior surf lifesaver awards. This is hoped to improve consistency, interaction, pass rates, and retained knowledge to produce better lifeguards. In the future, the system may expand its content to other awards and open materials to other organizations and schools.
The document discusses several LayoutManagers in Java - FlowLayout, BorderLayout, CardLayout, and GridLayout. FlowLayout lays out components in left-to-right rows that wrap as needed. BorderLayout divides the container into five regions (north, south, east, west, center) that each hold one component. CardLayout stacks components like cards where only the top is visible and methods allow changing the visible component. GridLayout arranges components in a rectangular grid specified by rows and columns.
Applets are Java programs that are embedded within web pages. They are executed remotely by Java-enabled browsers and allow web pages to be interactive and dynamic. Applets have limited access to resources for security reasons. They have lifecycle methods like init(), start(), stop(), and destroy() that are called at different points in the applet's execution. Creating an applet involves subclassing the Applet class and overriding methods as needed, then embedding the applet in an HTML file using applet tags.
This document discusses Java AWT features for setting fonts, cursors, and creating menus. It includes code examples for setting fonts on a label, setting the cursor on a button, and creating a menu bar with menus and menu items for color, font name, and font style options. The document explains how to obtain toolkit and graphics environment objects in Java and the steps for creating a menu, including adding menu items and menus to the menu bar.

The Battle at Louisburg was a conflict between the French and British over power and land in Nova Scotia and the Ohio River Valley from 1754 to 1761. The French started it by refusing to give up control of the strategic fortress at Louisburg, which was the gateway to the St. Lawrence River. After James Wolfe took command of the British forces, they were able to conquer Louisburg from the French in July 1761, gaining control of the area. The British victory resulted in their gaining control of the mouth of the St. Lawrence River and weakening French power in North America.
