Recent research on video data analytics by TSYS Endowed Chair in
Cybersecurity Paul Wang and his
colleague William Kelly of Metonymy Labs may lead to a revolution in online
learning by increasing interactions between students and online learning
systems. The system, known as inVideo,
transforms linear videos into interactive learning objects without the need for
initial viewing by a human. As they
explain in their recent publication in the Journal
of Learning Analytics, inVideo uses an indexing engine that is capable of
analyzing language and video frames, while its time-stamped commenting and
tagging properties facilitate more meaningful interactions for students. The early evidence, gathered from use in the
cybersecurity program at the University of Maryland, indicates the inVideo is
an adaptive assessment tool that boosts both student-to-student and
student-to-faculty interactions in the online learning environment.
Officials in the Turner College's Butler Center for Research and Economic Development recently put the finishing touches on an extensive report on trends in educational programs and occupations in the Columbus area. The report also includes data on business and technology trends. According to Fady Mansour , Director of the Butler Center, there are several key takeaways from the report regarding 10 occupational gaps that currently exist in the Columbus area. First, software development occupation exhibits the biggest labor shortage, with the report adding that the TSYS School has a bachelor's degree program in information technology along with a new AI track for the bachelor's degree in computer science, both of which can qualify students for this occupation. Other educational programs are in demand, such as computer programming and cloud computing. Second, there is a gap of 30 employees per year in general and operations management. This gap could be addressed by the Turn...
