This study presents our experiences in designing, implementing and deploying an on-line evaluation scheme to measure the English and information technology skills of new entrants to Sri Lankan universities at point of entry in 2011. Over 15,000 students from 25 districts of the country were subjected to the on-line evaluation. The test was
conducted by using a learning management system, in 24 consecutive days in twenty six centres scattered across the country. This paper sums up the experiences we gathered in conducting the evaluation of a larger group of students spread across a wide geographical area and the lessons learned.

The document discusses different types of broadcasting technologies and media, including electromagnetic waves, radio, TV, video tapes, satellites, and digital technologies. It also categorizes media as one-way or two-way, with examples such as print, audio, images, video, email, and blogs. Finally, it outlines asynchronous tools like discussion boards and blogs that enable delayed communication, as well as synchronous tools like audio/video conferencing and chat that allow for live interaction.

Improving student learning through assessment for learning using social media...Gihan Wikramanayake
This document summarizes a study on improving student learning through assessment using social media and e-Learning 2.0 on a distance education degree program in Sri Lanka. Specifically:
- The study examines the Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) program at the University of Colombo School of Computing, which has high failure and dropout rates.
- Currently exams focus on factual recall through multiple choice questions, encouraging rote learning. Language barriers also negatively impact some students' performance.
- The program aims to improve learning and reduce failure/dropout rates by designing new assessment methods using social media and e-Learning 2.0 to promote higher-order thinking. Data on student experiences will inform the redesign.

This paper proposes an approach for indexing multimedia clips by speaker using audio segmentation, speaker recognition, and metadata indexing. Segmentation is done using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and silence detection. Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) are trained for each speaker using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) as features. An ensemble of 3 GMMs is used to reduce errors from stochastic GMM training. Indexing utilizes sampled MFCC features from segments as metadata linked to speaker models. The system achieves a 20% true miss rate and 10% false alarm rate on segments 15-25 seconds, with performance decreasing for shorter segments.

This document discusses how modern teaching methods focus on producing employable graduates through active learning. It provides the example of the University of Western Sydney, which identifies learning objectives before content to emphasize application skills. Their assessments evaluate continuous learning through practical work rather than only testing theoretical knowledge via exams. This process allows graduates to directly apply their skills in employment without additional training.

The Pala kings were people-protectors. In fact, Gopal was elected to the throne only to end Matsya Nyaya. Bhagalpur Abhiledh states that Dharmapala imposed only fair taxes on the people. Rampala abolished the unjust taxes imposed by Bhima. The Pala rulers were lovers of learning. Vikramshila University was established by Dharmapala. He opened 50 other learning centers. A famous Buddhist scholar named Haribhadra was to be present in his court. Devpala appointed another Buddhist scholar named Veerdeva as the vice president of Nalanda Vihar. Among other scholars of this period, Sandhyakar Nandi, Chakrapani Dutta and Vajradatta are especially famous. Sandhyakar Nandi wrote the famous poem of this period 'Ramcharit'.
The *nervous system of insects* is a complex network of nerve cells (neurons) and supporting cells that process and transmit information. Here's an overview:
Structure
1. *Brain*: The insect brain is a complex structure that processes sensory information, controls behavior, and integrates information.
2. *Ventral nerve cord*: A chain of ganglia (nerve clusters) that runs along the insect's body, controlling movement and sensory processing.
3. *Peripheral nervous system*: Nerves that connect the central nervous system to sensory organs and muscles.
Functions
1. *Sensory processing*: Insects can detect and respond to various stimuli, such as light, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
2. *Motor control*: The nervous system controls movement, including walking, flying, and feeding.

3. *Behavioral responses*: Insects can exhibit complex behaviors, such as mating, foraging, and social interactions.
Characteristics
1. *Decentralized*: Insect nervous systems have some autonomy in different body parts.
2. *Specialized*: Different parts of the nervous system are specialized for specific functions.
3. *Efficient*: Insect nervous systems are highly efficient, allowing for rapid processing and response to stimuli.
The insect nervous system is a remarkable example of evolutionary adaptation, enabling insects to thrive in diverse environments.

How to track Cost and Revenue using Analytic Accounts in odoo Accounting, App...Celine George
Analytic accounts are used to track and manage financial transactions related to specific projects, departments, or business units. They provide detailed insights into costs and revenues at a granular level, independent of the main accounting system. This helps to better understand profitability, performance, and resource allocation, making it easier to make informed financial decisions and strategic planning.
APM event hosted by the Midlands Network on 30 April 2025.
Speaker: Sacha Hind, Senior Programme Manager, Network Rail
With fierce competition in today’s job market, candidates need a lot more than a good CV and interview skills to stand out from the crowd.
Based on her own experience of progressing to a senior project role and leading a team of 35 project professionals, Sacha shared not just how to land that dream role, but how to be successful in it and most importantly, how to enjoy it!
Sacha included her top tips for aspiring leaders – the things you really need to know but people rarely tell you!
We also celebrated our Midlands Regional Network Awards 2025, and presenting the award for Midlands Student of the Year 2025.
This session provided the opportunity for personal reflection on areas attendees are currently focussing on in order to be successful versus what really makes a difference.
Sacha answered some common questions about what it takes to thrive at a senior level in a fast-paced project environment: Do I need a degree? How do I balance work with family and life outside of work? How do I get leadership experience before I become a line manager?
The session was full of practical takeaways and the audience also had the opportunity to get their questions answered on the evening with a live Q&A session.
Attendees hopefully came away feeling more confident, motivated and empowered to progress their careers
