Engage in Learning Offers Ten Predictions for E-Learning in 2019

0
0

Gloucester, United Kingdom, December 21, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Engage in Learning, the e-learning supplier, has followed the well-honoured tradition of offering ten predictions for the e-learning sector in 2019.

Published and amplified on the company’s website, the predictions are:

1. The key "elephant in the room" issue, from a UK- and EU-perspective, is Brexit – and the positive and/or negative effects it will have on learning and development (L&D) activities.
2. There will be lots of investment money looking for a home in the online learning sector around the world.
3. Adaptive learning will mature – and will be a pre-cursor to the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) in learning.
4. Where AI is concerned, watch for smart vendors of online learning materials and systems integrating with the technology giants.
5. Those catering for the learner experience (LxP or LEP) market will continue to make lots of noise.
6. Many LMSs will integrate with other parts of the corporate technology stack, especially in the new and fast-emerging financial technology (Fintech) market.
7. The trend towards greater consolidation in the online learning sector, begun over the last few years, will continue.
8. The long-running xAPI saga will continue.
9. Several new platforms focused on augmented reality (AR) and/or adaptive learning will emerge.
10. Despite these market changes, little of the ‘fabric’ of the corporate online learning industry will change. Compliance and regulatory online learning materials will continue to comprise some 80 per cent of all online learning activities – and, thus, will continue to be the major justification for the industry’s existence.

Kate Carter, Engage in Learning’s Operations and Marketing Manager, commented, “These predictions – complied by the industry commentator, Bob Little and published on the Engage in Learning blog - are not only based on personal observations and deductions but also on views expressed by a straw poll of industry specialists and practitioners.

“Looking into the next 12 months, there seems to be a continuing need for high quality e-learning materials, especially relating to compliance and regulatory online learning requirements.

“Engage in Learning already has plans to augment its already extensive portfolio in this field. It will have the first few of these new courses available on stand H05 at the Learning Technologies event in London’s Excel, on 13th and 14th February 2019.

“So, as we move towards the holiday season, it’s time to wish a ‘Happy and Prosperous 2019’ to all learning and development professionals – and to all learners – whoever and wherever they are!”

br.A.I.n Hack 2018 - the Competition for an AI-Driven Society

0
0

Bucharest, Romania, December 21, 2018 --(PR.com)-- During the competition, the participants prototyped and presented revolutionary solutions that have the potential to positively change the business and social ecosystem. This year’s hackathon was truly challenging given the difficulty of AI-based solutions that have only recently started to mature.

“Think about 12 hours spent trying to actually train neural networks and even employ deep learning to produce meaningful results. We are now at a point where AI technology has remarkable applications in a wide range of industries. It’s amazing what you can learn from such an event, a very condensed experience where you meet extraordinary people.” - Marius Hanganu, Tremend Managing Partner.

The winning team focused on the social aspect of Artificial Intelligence, showcasing a solution for children with special needs suffering from autism or Down syndrome. The interactive application, which can be used in multiple languages to develop cognitive and people skills, analyzes a child’s drawing, figures out the drawn object and associates it with a real-life object. Leveraging technologies such as neural networks, Python, Django, TensorFlow and Keras, NumPy and Swift, the application has a high degree of feasibility and a solid business model that can soon make this solution a reality for many families and children around the world.

The runner-up team designed another social solution, presenting a mobile application that can identify a baby’s needs when crying and alert parents. The third place winner team developed an integrated speech-to-text and translation prototype that can summarize conversations from meetings or audio recordings. Other innovative solutions were developed for various industries and scopes such as retailers (shelf management), travel, citizen rights (integration of GDPR, road rules and human rights into one single app) marketing and sales automation, human resources (employee retention software), consumer-centric apps (recipes and receipt management) and infrastructure security.

The main technologies employed by the participants were leveraging AI domains, such as Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and even Deep Learning, by employing either locally developed models (in TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-learn) or Cloud-based solutions (IBM Watson, Google's Natural Language API), in Python, Django or Swift. However, all the projects powered at least 5 integrated complex technologies, which encouraged a highly creative, analytical and organizational approach for each project. It comes as no surprise that the professional jury had to thoroughly evaluate each prototype based on its degree of innovation, uniqueness, social and financial impact and overall technical complexity.

“I was eager to see what creative minds can do in 24 hours when they join forces and face a challenge like conquering the uncharted territory of AI. Results were impressive, giving all of us a practical sense of the real power and the spread of AI. The competition resulted in 12 completely different solutions tackling needs from social, healthcare, technology, business and legal and security areas. It is clear that the 'show must go on,' as all the participants, jury and organizers gain important practical learnings to further capitalize on.” - Bogdan Rotunjanu, IT Director at Orange Romania

br.A.I.n Hack 2018 is a fast-track learning experience with a diverse set of applications that will become mainstream in software development in the near future. The event gathered 12 mixed teams with experts from Tremend and Orange. Beyond the opportunity to showcase exceptional local talent and transform Romania into an AI hub, events like this have the power to alter the course of our society and make revolutionary solutions real, available and affordable at a global scale.

Councilmember Rishi Kumar at Elon Musk's Loop Tunnel Opening

0
0

Hawthorne, CA, December 21, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Elon Musk, Founder of The Boring Company, unveiled the first underground tunnel - referred to as the Loop - under the city of Hawthorne. Musk’s vision is to create an underground network of tunnels to reduce traffic congestion, which he refers to as “soul destroying.” Councilmember Rishi Kumar of Saratoga, California, was present at the launch, and congratulated Musk as he emerged from the Loop in a Tesla Model X to address the dignitaries, press, and an exclusive list of “invitation only” guests.

Councilmember Kumar, a senior executive at Silicon Valley’s Solix Technologies, a Big Data Analytics company, had taken a ride in the tunnel earlier that evening and emerged from the tunnel fascinated about what the Loop could mean for Silicon Valley.

“It was quite an experience, a bit bumpy though,” said Councilmember Kumar. “We were traveling at about 40mph in a Model X, guided by car-wash like skates or ‘tracking wheels’ situated by the front tires. Our car was dropped 30 feet into the 12 feet diameter tunnel via an elevator. This prototype clearly demonstrates that we can cut travel time based on the projected speed of up to 150 mph. This is the type of innovative transportation we need in Silicon Valley. It offers tremendous possibilities for Silicon Valley to spread out new housing, spread the wealth and jobs to other far flung, economically disadvantaged communities. This will reduce the pressure to build more and more housing here in Silicon Valley that impacts our quality of life and leads to very frustrating traffic congestion. Our rush hour travel times have tripled and are showing signs of increasing further. A grid of 3-D tunnels crisscrossed with compact street level elevators that drop cars in can be the panacea for our traffic congestion and quality of life woes, connecting Silicon Valley to all parts of the Bay Area and even further.”

Councilmember Kumar envisions these very same tunnels, should they meet the economies of scale, being used for multiple other purposes, such as a 3-D public transportation grid for all of the United States that could enable fast transportation systems such as the Hyperloop.

“We can cut travel time from San Jose to L.A. down to approximately 45 minutes, or from San Jose to Modesto or Stockton to 17 minutes,” said the councilmember. “Such rapid transportation can allow residents to find affordable housing and also reach their place of work in a timely manner. Will it drop homelessness in our state that was gone over the top these past few years? I believe it can definitely help!”

Another important possibility for Councilmember Kumar is the potential to minimize greenhouse gas emissions through the use of the underground tunnels, in which only electric cars are used. “Minimizing traffic logjams will have considerable effects on overall energy waste and air quality,” he said.

Councilmember Kumar stated, “If we can can build a tunnel that costs $1 million a mile, as Elon envisions, or even $10 million a mile, which is what today’s Loop cost to build, then we have to seriously consider the pros and cons of California’s high speed rail system, which will cost almost $77 billion to build 800 miles. Elon Musk’s Loop project could be accomplished for a lot less money and will withstand earthquakes and other inclement weather conditions.”

Musk is currently planning to build Loop systems in both Chicago and Los Angeles, and hopes to have an extensive network of tunnels sprawling underneath Los Angeles before the 2028 Olympic Games are to be held in the city, with one of the early projects planned for Dodger Stadium.

These marketing materials become the face of a business, a representation of the organizational ethos that is made visible to potential clients, prior to their association with the brand.

Research shows that 44% of an organization's customers make their first visit to a brand's website only after they receive direct mail marketing from them. Something as simple as a monthly newsletter or the occasional postcard can encourage more people to visit the organization’s website than say, an email can. Once they are on the website, these customers take less than 50 milliseconds to form an opinion about the organization’s brand and will either continue to browse the website or exit immediately. A study by Adobe indicated that over 59% of all website visitors continue to browse through and eventually engage with organizations whose web designs are colourful and interactive, over those whose web designs are plain, monochrome and static.

VELV Design & Printing’s wide range of print marketing and web design services have been created with great care, keeping in mind consumer psychology. Powered by their experience as designers of professionally-reliable print materials and superb website landing pages, VELV Design & Printing has hand-picked specific services which can help organizations effectively tap into different consumer groups belonging to varied geographic, demographic and psychographic segments.

Currently, VELV Design & Printing is running their annual Holiday Season Christmas Deals.

The organization’s other services cover a wide spectrum starting with outdoor signage to label design to website maintenance to Every Door Direct Mail services to SEO marketing.

With visitors pouring in from across the world to experience the effervescent magic of Los Angeles, the city is a fertile hub for organizations looking to jump-start their business ventures. This extremely competitive and highly-demanding market expects the quickest turnaround time, the highest quality services and the most competitive prices from their marketing material vendors.

Kannaki Ramamoorthy Joins Arteric as Quality Assurance Manager

0
0

Summit, NJ, December 21, 2018 --(PR.com)-- “Looking for trouble?” Ask this question of Kannaki Ramamoorthy, and she’ll say with a broad smile and cheerful expression, “I most certainly am. Every minute of every day at Arteric. And loving it.” Unbridled joy at probing for flaws in software drives the person who now leads the quality assurance (QA) team at Arteric, an award-winning healthcare digital marketing agency in Summit, NJ.

Arteric’s QA team searches for software defects throughout development by applying a continuous QA process that begins prior to kickoff. At traditional digital agencies, QA begins late in the product development cycle. Unfortunately, their late start allows software bugs to accumulate and cause domino effects that delay development and increase cost.

Kannaki originally planned to build software, not to become a relentless exterminator of software bugs. After obtaining a master’s degree in computer science and applications, Kannaki joined the development team in an organization that developed enterprise solutions. During a rotation through the quality assurance department, Kannaki discovered her passion for analyzing software in ways that produced a final product that would excel without fail. Her talent for flushing out software defects that would blemish performance or the user experience fueled her rise to team leader and to manager of quality assurance functions.

"Arteric's mission requires that we produce software that works everywhere, every time," states Lloyd McGarrigal, software development manager. "We achieve this mission by applying a mixture of rigorous manual and automated testing. Kannaki's experience and attention to detail help us to implement testing programs that ensure product performance and delight clients.”

Kannaki shares these thoughts on joining Arteric. “Arteric’s emphasis on quality is palpable. From the top of the organization on down, nobody compromises on performance for any reason. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen in my career. These attitudes create an inspirational environment for quality professionals. The hours are long, but the pride in our products’ performance and the feedback from our clients make it worthwhile.”

Work with Arteric
For 2 decades, Arteric has helped pharmaceutical brands, biotechnology brands, and healthcare organizations create life-changing experiences through feature-rich, defect-free software. Contact Hans Kaspersetz at 201.546.9910 to advance your brand with personalized marketing solutions that work everywhere, every time.

About Arteric
Arteric is a pharmaceutical and biotechnology digital marketing agency renowned for its expertise in digital brand strategy, software engineering, data, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, CRM, and analytics. Arteric is the digital agency that will propel your clinical trials recruitment, premarket shaping, disease state education, brand launch, or brand revitalization forward with digital insights and execution that cannot be matched.

Fairfax, VA, December 22, 2018 --(PR.com)-- 321 Web Marketing, a NOVA dental marketing agency, recently released a guide providing readers with steps on how to perform a successful dental internet marketing campaign. Understanding the underlying principles of effective marketing can help dental practices make better marketing decisions for their businesses.

There are a variety of services from which to choose when developing a dental marketing campaign. Social media, email, content, and SEO marketing may all be worth pursuing, and designing a website that is visually pleasing and easy to navigate is critical. Speak with a dental Internet marketing agency to come up with the best combination of services for your needs. Some may be optional, while others should be a part of any marketing plan. The mix of services used may depend on your ideal audience, geographic location, competition, and other factors.

Successful marketing campaigns typically look like the following plan. Websites should be optimized not only for SEO, but for maximum user engagement and ease of navigation. It is important to conduct keyword research to determine which words should be highlighted throughout the site and to inform the creation of engaging and relevant content. Continually generating high-quality content draws in new readers and encourages previous clients to continue visiting the site. Establishing KPIs, or key performance indicators, can help define goals and show what steps may be needed to reach those goals. Successful marketing plans may also include a range of extra marketing efforts, such as email, social media, and search engine marketing, depending on each dental practice's needs. These can help target specific segments of an audience or provide the perfect format for different types of content.

Speak to a professional dental marketing agency for more information and to schedule a free dental Internet marketing consultation. 321 Web Marketing considers each client's goals, target audience, competition, and more to create customized marketing plans that work. Each plan is carefully monitored after it is launched, and the agency's team of marketers will make changes to it as necessary to ensure success. 321 Web Marketing can be contacted online at https://www.321webmarketing.com/ or by phone at 703-810-7557.

Patient at Swedish Medical Center Finds Relief from New Robotic Procedure

0
0

Englewood, CO, December 22, 2018 --(PR.com)-- HealthONE/HCA’s Swedish Medical Center Surgical Robotics Institute announced their first robotic-assisted ileal conduit urinary diversion with cystectomy last month. The surgery to remove the bladder and to divert urine through a pathway created with a portion of small intestine, is just one of several new advanced robotic-assisted procedures introduced at Swedish through the Institute this year.

“The Swedish Surgical Robotics Institute continues to bring advances like this to the Rocky Mountain region,” said Tyler Hood, vice president of operations at Swedish Medical Center. “Together with our physician partners, we are committed to expanding the use of minimally-invasive robotic surgical techniques to benefit our patients.”

Brianna Robinson, the first patient at Swedish Medical Center to receive this new minimally invasive procedure, suffered from interstitial cystitis, or IC, a very painful chronic bladder health issue that is often mistaken for a urinary tract infection. “I was going to the bathroom over 100 times per day. It was excruciating pain and it took over my life.” Robinson is one of over 200,000 people diagnosed yearly with this painful, yet common condition - a condition that is often left untreated due to the wide range of symptoms and severity.

To find solace in her pain, Robinson reached out to online support groups, tried over the counter remedies, and researched treatment that would help ease her continued discomfort. Brianna underwent several other procedures and was prescribed different medications over the course of five years. Thankfully, she learned about a less invasive procedure for her complicated condition and now hopes her story can help others find relief too. “It was horrendous and it went on for five years. I am very fortunate that I did find Dr. Dagenais and Dr. Jones because I’ve become friends with a lot people who have this as well. They can’t find doctors who are willing to help because they don’t know what causes it. I’m very lucky to have these amazing doctors,” said Robinson.

The procedure was performed by urologists Julien Dagenais, MD, and Mark Jones, MD, of The Urology Center of Colorado, “We’re excited to be able to offer this minimally invasive surgical option to the patients at Swedish Medical Center,” said Dr. Dagenais. Dr. Dagenais completed a fellowship in advanced laparoscopy and robotic surgery at the Cleveland Clinic’s Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute.

“The cystectomy and diversion performed on Brianna was completely robotic. Typically the bladder is removed robotically, but the diversion is completed through open surgery,” stated Dr. Jones. “The ability to do the entire surgery robotically decreases recovery time for the patients. We are very happy we can help relieve Brianna’s pain and discomfort. This is the outcome we work for.” Dr. Jones completed his Fellowship training in advanced laparoscopy, robotic surgery and urologic oncology at the University of Minnesota.

A robotic-assisted cystectomy is a minimally invasive technique performed using the da Vinci Xi® Surgical System, a specialized surgical tool that allows the surgeon better visualization and improved fine motor control. Patients benefit from a shorter hospital stay and an even faster return to a normal level of activity with fewer noticeable scars.

“I am doing amazing,” said Robinson, who received the surgery on November 1, “I was up and walking the next morning. I showered the next morning. I feel like I did before I developed IC. I feel normal. If there are other patients out there that have IC I want them to know you don’t have to suffer forever.”

Saelig Introduces Flicker Spectrometer to Quantify Light Flicker Measurements

0
0

Fairport, NY, December 23, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Saelig Company, Inc. (www.saelig.com) has introduced the GL Spectis 1.0 Touch Flicker Spectrometer, an upgraded version of the very successful handheld Spectis 1.0 Touch Spectral Light Meter. This device can now measure the increasingly important parameter of light flicker in addition to the extensive range of standard photometric and colorimetric values already available. The Spectis 1.0 Touch Flicker Spectrometer is now equipped with additional electronics and a fast photodiode to measure flicker frequency, flicker index, and flicker ratio. Designed and developed in consultation with industry leaders and standards committees, this device provides all the measurement quantities required to accurately measure and understand flicker.

With new LED lighting applications, the problem of flicker in slow-motion video has resurfaced. Previously, this was a very common phenomenon with fluorescent lighting, but as technical improvements were made to the ballasts, the problem was largely eliminated. Today the main source of such flicker is LED lighting, caused by the driving circuitry supplying power to the lights. For sports facilities, having optimal illumination with minimal light flicker is important to consider when installing LED lighting. For instance, at FC Chelsea's famous Stamford Bridge Stadium (Fulham, London, UK) the existing lighting was recently replaced with LED fixtures that can create unique illumination effects and light displays.

The new mobile GL Spectis 1.0 Touch Flicker spectrometer from GL Optic is suitable for measuring flicker in the signal range 0.1Hz – 12.5kHz. The user can take measurements of light sources and LED floodlights. To fully characterize and compare light sources, the GL Spectis 1.0 T Flicker can process recognized flicker parameters such as flicker frequency, flicker index and flicker factor. The instrument can also be used to capture other photometric and colorimetric data such as illuminance, colorimetric locus and color rendering index, displaying the analysis results on the color touchscreen. The GL Spectis 1.0 Touch Flicker can be used to detect, characterize, and ultimately avoid flicker issues. Covering an exceptionally wide range of frequencies, this device offers accuracy equal to many laboratory devices.

Flicker-free lighting is extremely important for slow-motion replays that show home TV viewers exactly what happened, something which is now taken for granted in professional sports. At frame rates up to 480 fps for slow-motion sequences, modulation of the artificial light output can produce perceptible brightness variations. Normally, up to a certain frequency, human persistence of vision compensates for light modulation, which is why fluctuations in light caused by the alternating current powering lights are not normally noticed. During the planning and design phase, the use of a professional light meter like this is essential to verify the proposed lighting system has minimal flicker.

GL Optic light measurement instruments were recently used during installation of the new LED playing field lighting at Chelsea Football’s Stamford Bridge Stadium , UK. Mike Simpson, Director of Engineering & Design at Philips Lighting, stressed that "The GL Optic device allows us to rapidly and accurately assess the quality of LED-based lighting installations. The GL Spectis 1.0 Touch is a very fast spectrometer and easy to use in the field.”

Designed and made in Europe by GL Optic, a leading supplier of standardized light solutions, the GL Spectis 1.0 Touch Flicker Spectrometer is available now from GL Optic’s USA distributor SaeligCompany. Inc. (NY).
