This document discusses learning analytics (LA) practices at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). It describes UTS's goal of becoming a "data intensive university" to solve problems like student attrition, improve student engagement, enable personalized learning, and allocate resources more effectively. The university uses LA to identify "killer subjects" with high failure rates and understand factors contributing to student failure. UTS also utilizes a student dashboard in its learning management system and provides data literacy training for staff and students. The document is part of a larger OLT-commissioned research project examining LA practices across Australian universities and comparing them to international examples to develop best practice guidance.

The document discusses how microfinance has helped boost rural demand for consumer packaged goods in Bangladesh. It describes how microfinance borrowers have used loans to set up modern grocery stores in villages, providing villagers access to a variety of packaged products. This has deepened the rural reach of consumer companies by facilitating supply of their products to new areas through the village stores. The microfinance model is seen as mutually beneficial, providing economic opportunities in villages while aiding consumer companies' penetration into rural markets.

BadSekta is a record label that specializes in electronic music from independent artists working on the extreme edges of the genre. The label operates as a semi-collective and aims to continue releasing music until integrating back with the collective consciousness. It features artists like Acid Burp who produces melodic braindance tracks while based in Manchester, and Ascetic who leads an austere lifestyle focused on contemplation and self-denial. As there are no famous stars on the label, it does not define itself by a specific music genre.

Closed loop - Software Estimation to DeliveryAhsan Saleem
?
This document discusses a closed loop process for project estimation and delivery. The process involves:
1. Creating a work breakdown structure (WBS) by defining project modules, user stories, and tasks.
2. Estimating the effort for each WBS item.
3. Creating a project plan.
4. Having a project kick-off meeting.
5. Executing sprints, logging hours against tickets, and gathering metrics on estimates versus actuals.
6. Analyzing variance data to improve future estimations and catch issues.
Smartphones are shifting from a screen that complements PCs (and tablets) to the main online activity screen. As a result, we must now shift our design, content and communications strategies to ones that see mobile as a first and engagement and, sometimes, only screen for engagement.

This document discusses the potential benefits and necessity of supplements. It presents data showing that many Americans and Europeans do not meet recommended daily intakes of certain micronutrients from diet alone. Studies suggest magnesium intake may help reduce risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and heart disease by improving insulin sensitivity and metabolic markers. A randomized controlled trial found that oral magnesium supplementation improved insulin sensitivity in non-diabetic adults with insulin resistance. Overall the document argues that supplements may help fill nutritional gaps and support health, though over-reliance on supplements rather than whole foods is not ideal.
The document discusses the history and evolution of massive open online courses (MOOCs). It notes early predictions about how technology would revolutionize education, such as allowing students more freedom over their learning. However, many early efforts to implement online and distance education, such as Fathom, struggled financially. While MOOCs grew rapidly in the early 2010s, expectations about their financial viability and impact on universities were often unrealistic. The document advocates that universities focus on their educational niche and consider outsourcing non-core functions, to adapt to changes in higher education.
