#We need to respect and utilize multiple strategies to disseminate information

[bijoumikhawal]

leftists talking about how everyone needs to read theory to be in the movement in a country where the adult reading and comprehension rate struggles with the books they valourize. While not creating community teaching opportunities. While dismissing lived insights as "identity politics", the bastardized use of a term from theory. While the government wants to defund and destroy the education system to privilege the wealthy even more. Staunchly refusing to learn from revolutionaries who had ranks of legitimately illiterate comrades. Being offended when people say literacy is a privilege and taking it as an attack rather than a call to diversify tactics. Unironically upholding isolationist, sink or swim ideals about learning instead of communal teaching, discussion, and debate to ensure understanding.

G-d we are fucked

Building a Positive Work Environment: The Power of Clear and Open Communication

Why Clear and Open Communication Matters

As an employer or team leader, creating a positive work environment is crucial for fostering employee productivity, satisfaction, and overall success. One key component of achieving this is through clear and open communication. In this blog post, we will explore how cultivating transparent and effective communication can contribute to a positive work environment and provide practical tips for implementing it in your workplace.

Clear and open communication is the foundation of any healthy work environment. It allows employees to understand their roles and responsibilities, provides them with the information they need to perform their tasks effectively, and promotes collaboration and teamwork. Here are some reasons why clear and open communication is essential:

Enhanced Employee Engagement: When employees feel informed and involved, they are more likely to be engaged in their work. Clear and open communication keeps employees updated on organizational goals, changes, and expectations, which helps them align their efforts with the company’s vision and mission.

Improved Collaboration and Teamwork: Transparent communication encourages employees to share ideas, feedback, and concerns openly. It fosters a culture where employees feel comfortable expressing their opinions and collaborating with their peers. This creates a collaborative work environment where teamwork flourishes and employees can work together towards common goals.

Increased Trust and Morale: Open communication builds trust among team members and between employees and management. When employees feel heard, valued, and respected, they are more likely to trust their leaders and have higher morale. This, in turn, leads to increased job satisfaction and employee retention.

Effective Conflict Resolution: Miscommunication or lack of communication can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings in the workplace. Clear and open communication can help identify and address issues early on, minimizing the negative impact of conflicts and facilitating their resolution in a timely and effective manner.

Tips for Cultivating Clear and Open Communication

Foster a Feedback Culture: Encourage regular feedback from both managers and employees. Provide constructive feedback in a timely and respectful manner, and create opportunities for employees to share their feedback and suggestions openly. This creates a culture where feedback is seen as a valuable tool for growth and improvement.

Use Multiple Communication Channels: Utilize a variety of communication channels, such as in-person meetings, emails, chat tools, and project management software, to ensure that information is disseminated effectively to all team members. Choose the appropriate channel based on the type of information being communicated and the preferences of your team members.

Be Transparent: Share information about company goals, strategies, and decisions with employees openly and honestly. Avoid withholding information or keeping secrets, as this can lead to mistrust and rumors. Transparency builds trust and fosters a sense of ownership and accountability among employees.

Listen Actively: Effective communication involves not just speaking, but also actively listening. Encourage employees to express their thoughts, opinions, and concerns, and make sure you actively listen to them. Show empathy, validate their perspectives, and respond in a respectful and timely manner.

In conclusion, cultivating a positive work environment requires clear and open communication. By setting expectations, fostering a feedback culture, utilizing multiple communication channels, being transparent, actively listening, and leading by example, you can create a workplace where employees feel empowered, engaged, and respected.

Remember, effective communication is a continuous effort that requires consistent practice and commitment from everyone in the workplace. By prioritizing clear and open communication, you can create a culture where employees feel heard, valued, and motivated to contribute their best work.

Lupine Publishers | One plus One is More Than Two? Reaping From the Synergy between Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge to Climate Adaptation in Ghana

.

Abstract

The rapid escalation and dangers of global climate change is bourgeoning astronomically and thus places colossal demands on stakeholders to marshal innovative ways and processes for connecting knowledge systems to tackle its negative upshots. These demands in contemporary climate related discourses have led to calls for the integration of indigenous knowledge (IK) and scientific knowledge (SK) sources in climate adaptation efforts. However, studies that advocate and utilize the co-production of IK and SK as the way forward to climate adaptation efforts in Ghana remain scanty. This paper supports by reporting promising outcomes in economies that have embraced the co-production of IK and SK into their adaptation action plans. It is envisaged that this paper will spark stakeholder discussions and subsequently galvanize efforts leading to the integration of both IK and SK into adaptation policies in Ghana. Thus, one plus one can be more than two should Ghana thread on the path of knowledge co-production in climate adaptation initiatives.

Keywords: Global climate change; Indigenous knowledge; Scientific knowledge; Climate adaptation

Opinion

Copious evidence supports climate change-induced decline in crop and livestock productivity in the global landscape [1,2] , more especially in weather-sensitive agricultural production regions such as sub-Saharan Africa where those most vulnerable to these impacts are the indigenous people whose source of livelihood depends solely on small-scale farming. Presently, the agricultural sector contributes 22% of Ghana’s GDP [3] and employs 42% of the economically active workforce [4]. In 2017, Ghana’s GDP recorded a growth rate of 8.5%, with the agriculture sector expanding from a growth rate of 3.0 percent in 2016 to 8.4 percent in 2017 [5]. Nonetheless, the agricultural sector is extremely imperiled as the EPA of Ghana predicts that the country stance to lose about 81.3 square meters of arable land yearly, and yields of maize and other cereal crops will reduce by 7 percent by 2050. This creates the urgency for best-fit climate adaptation practices to aid adaptation efforts by small-scale farmers, on whom the whole country depends mostly for food supplies. Thus, contemporary adaptation planning necessitates access to the preeminent available knowledge, whatever its source. Unfortunately in Ghana, there exists low levels of awareness and poor understanding of climate change impacts coupled with significant knowledge gaps about climate change processes [6]. These realities have mired effective societal decision making of climate change adaptation and mitigation. There is therefore the need to create such awareness and also integrate indigenous climate change adaptation and mitigation planning with sustainable development and poverty reduction goals [7].

In the light of this, countless developmental projects are known to have been created, funded and accomplished by outside resources and presented into rural communities with the hopes and promises of impacting the lives of small-scale farmers. Assessments indicate that these projects failed to recognize the culture of the people and resulted in low participation and success rates [8,9].As a consequence of these letdowns, there was a growing interest in the incorporation of indigenous knowledge (IK) and traditions to increase project participation rate and provide environmentally sound approaches to development. The main reasons for this paradigm shift towards indigenous knowledge and practices were (i) IK stem from the cultural context of the people concerned, (ii) IK evolves in close contact with the specific environment conditions and, (iii) IK is based on intimate knowledge of the environment in the traditional societies Mathias, 1995. Also, according to Adugna [10] and Woodley [11], IK adds value to climate change studies in the following ways; (i) IK systems create a moral economy, (ii) identifies a person within a cultural context, therefore providing decision-making processes or rules of thumb to be followed based on observed indicators or relationships within events, (iii) indigenous knowledge is progressively demonstrating a semblance with scientific methods as many ideas in indigenous knowledge that were once viewed as primitive and misguided, are now seen as appropriate and sophisticated, and (iv) indigenous knowledge systems provide mechanisms for participatory approaches. Valuable local knowledge of relevance to climate change assessment and adaptation is held by rural societies [12]. Thus, these sources see farmers in the agriculture sector as innovators with a sophisticated body of ‘indigenous knowledge’ comprised of practices gained through experience and transmitted through members of a community [13,14].

Extensive evidence of academic literature that documents how smallholder farmers use knowledge systems to adapt to climatic trends in Africa exist [15-17]. Owusu Ansah [18] in a study that examined indigenous knowledge sources, potency and practices to climate adaptation in the small scale farming sector cited 49 sources to indigenous knowledge in an article for the Journal of Earth Science and Climatic change. Crate [19], referenced 136 sources on climate change and culture in an article for the Annual Review of Anthropology. The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the United Nation University (UNU) [20] cited over 300 references in the 2012 report “Weathering Uncertainty: Traditional Knowledge for Climate Change Assessment and Adaptation”, which offers a synopsis of key issues and areas of research on indigenous knowledge. UNFCCC [21] ascertained the importance of indigenous knowledge conservation as key to the benefits of an ecosystems-based approach to climate adaptation.

The rapid acceleration and enormity of global environmental change places colossal demands on humanity to marshal innovative ways and processes for connecting knowledge systems that are conducive to sustainability learning and recognize the convolutions of socio–ecological systems and the challenges of the anthropocene [22,23]. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness that scientific knowledge (SK) alone is inadequate for solving the climate crisis [24] which has led to growing recognition of local, indigenous, traditional knowledge as an important source of climate knowledge and adaptation strategies. Byg [25] contend that it is erroneous to understand social ecological issues based on SK alone. Thus, the role of indigenous knowledge in climate adaptation in Ghana is required to buttress scientific knowledge adoption [26]. On the other hand, the challenges brought on by global climate change are beyond the lived experience of all knowledge holders, whether scientific or indigenous [27,28]. Owusu Ansah [18] opined that the utilization and efficacies of IK remained indubitable for decades but owing to recent unpredictability in the observed changes in the environment, coupled with the fast increasing susceptibilities of communities to climate change, absolute reliance on the sources of indigenous indicators for correctly predicting environmental changes have become more difficult and obsolete for farmers. Also, the potencies of the identified IK adaptation practices for yielding perfect responses to changes in the environment have become riskier and challenging as time goes by. Even though the relevance of indigenous knowledge sources and practices remain indispensable in the struggle to adapt to climate change, efforts will be more promising should there be a co-production of other knowledge sets (science based) to buttress established positive practices in IK Owusu Ansah [18]. This has led to several calls for interdisciplinary climate change research in modern studies [29-31]. Gratani et al. [32], show that integration of traditional knowledge through scientific validation can be respectful and empowering. To succeed, we cannot afford to lose insights and information originating from multiple knowledge systems [33].

However, studies that advocate and utilize the co-production of multiple knowledge systems that integrate IK and SK as the way forward to climate adaptation efforts in Ghana remain scanty. Aside from the relatively significant physiognomies of spatial locations in climate change manifestations on the global scale, existing literature on the subject is unsatisfactorily scanty in the context of sub-Saharan Africa and Ghana in part [18]. Thus, this paper reviews studies that have presented promising findings from the incorporation of IK and SK elsewhere to inform new approaches to climate adaptation in Ghana. In the face of climate change risks and impacts that remain uncertain and unpredictable, there is a growing need for policies and action that foster the co-production of new knowledge sets, based upon collaborative efforts involving IK and SK holders. Co-management regimes that bring communities and the State together to jointly manage natural resources, have provided an important arena for the development of knowledge coproduction [34-36].

Reaping From the Synergy: One Plus One is More Than Two

Studies by scholars provide examples from across the globe where the recognition of complementarities across knowledge systems have advanced the understanding, and in many cases improved management, of ecosystems, critical natural resources, and biodiversity. In Africa according to Guthiga and Newsham, (2011) and Kalanda Joshua et al. [37], rainmakers in the Nganyi community of western Kenya and farmers in Nessa Village in southern Malawi have worked in partnership with meteorological scientists to create integrated forecasts that are being disseminated by both indigenous and conventional methods to enhance community resilience to climate change and its adversarial upshots. Uganda [38] highlighted the maintenance, protection and continuity of the use of indigenous knowledge in the management of natural resources as a project in its National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA). Also, Ethiopia included the documentation and advancement of indigenous rangeland resource management as a way to enhance resource management practices. Mozambique incorporated the role of local forecasting knowledge in strengthened early warning systems for detecting changes in the environment. The United Republic of Tanzania [39] encouraged the promotion of indigenous knowledge in the agriculture sector.

In Cape Verde, the Ministry of Environment and Agriculture promoted the need to understand traditional knowledge in relation to variations in the water cycle and agro-silvo-pastoral production systems. In 2008, Liberia recognized the necessity to better integrate indigenous and effective coping strategies into its national development policy and planning in order to better respond to the growing incidence and intensity of climatic shocks so that the country will be in a better position to address the situation within the context of its existing sustainable development policy processes. In West Africa, an initiative has been piloted by the Association for Indigenous Women and Peoples of Chad, the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Coordinating Committee and UNESCO, which brought together pastoralist M’bororo weather forecasting knowledge with scientific seasonal and long-term forecasts. This initiative is grounded on a sequence of discussions and exchanges between indigenous and scientific knowledge holders, with the support of indigenous knowledge experts [40]. This initiative occasioned instances where Meteorological services integrated indigenous knowledge, such as phenological data, into their projections to provide users with more broadly based information [41]. In Kenya and Ghana, multiple avenues of culturally appropriate communications are used to ensure that advisories and forecasts are disseminated to farmers and livestock keepers [42]. Also, CARE International’s “Joto Afrika: Climate communication for adaptation” provides an example of a platform where SK provides data for IK holders to assess their decision-making on when to plant. By providing the capacity to develop rainfall records from their own community rain gauges, agro pastoralists can take informed decisions on planting dates.

Based on a report by ACIA [43], The Arctic Council’s Arctic Climate Impact Assessment is a successful approach to the collaboration of IK with SK that resulted in the incorporation of a broad set of observations from indigenous peoples alongside a regional assessment of the impacts of climate change in the Arctic. This brought together representatives of IK and SK holders on the Artic Council to cooperate and integrate both knowledge sources into a report that produced two chapters on indigenous perspectives and incorporated nine case studies into the final report. Such collaboration led to a robust knowledge base on the impacts of climate change on the Arctic, with indigenous and scientific knowledge supporting each other [43,44].

Conclusion

Transforming governance of biodiversity and ecosystems toward sustainability will require a rich understanding of the complex interactions of people and nature at different scales, and of the drivers and feedbacks that affects these interactions [45]. The rapid acceleration and enormity of global environmental change places colossal demands on humanity to marshal innovative ways and processes for connecting knowledge systems that are conducive to sustainability learning and recognize the convolutions of socio– ecological systems. We argue that to achieve this, the science-policy community needs to embrace a diversity of knowledge systems, and when connecting to knowledge from local or indigenous communities, it must think beyond aspects that can easily be fitted into conventional models and frameworks. Also, the partial success of the use of traditional knowledge in coping with climate change leads to the conclusion that a healthy relationship between scientific knowledge and traditional or indigenous knowledge – which both have their limitations – is desirable, especially in developing countries where technology for prediction and modeling is least developed [46]. We therefore suggest that, in the face of climate change risks and impacts that remain uncertain and unpredictable, there is an increasing need for procedures and measures that nurture the coproduction of new knowledge sets, grounded on collaborative energies encompassing community-based knowledge holders and natural and social scientists to tackle the climate change bottlenecks that engulf Ghana [18]. Our study demonstrates that understanding and use of climate adaptation strategies should be overarching in the context of Ghana to incorporate indigenous and scientific knowledge to achieve a counterbalance. Through this, the strengths of both knowledge sources will combine to produce promising returns that could be achieved individually; one plus one is more than two [47,48]. Therefore, an understanding established on multiple evidences can afford stronger confidence in conclusions where knowledge and understanding converge across knowledge systems. Our findings accentuate the quintessential requirement for efforts that embrace continuous training and education on climate-smart farming practices, on-hand provision of extension officers and up-to-date meteorological data, constant supply of farm inputs and inculcate partnerships and periodic organization of regional-district-community workshops or forums that bring together IK and SK holders to forge new set of measures and mitigating strategies to adeptly tackle climate-induced challenges on the agriculture sector of Ghana.

Phone Reactions to Review your Wellbeing Against Covid-19

Artificial intelligencemight help beat the covid-19 by using applications among them people screening, announcements of when to seek medical help, and checking how infection spreads. The COVID-19 episode has generated intense focus on such applications, but it will take time before final results will become obvious. A digital response towards the Covid-19 pandemic can take multiple shapes and bring significant worth. A single crucial region in which there have been rapid advancements within the last few weeks can be new software programs of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for testing of the population and assessing an infection dangers. Screening the populace to identify who's potentially ill is vital for that contains Coronavirus. In China, which was hit 1st, typical infrared image resolution scanning devices and portable thermometers were introduced in multiple open public locations, specifically in Beijing. Asian AI corporations have finally introduced more advanced AI-powered temperature verification systems in locations including subway and railway stations. The advantage of these systems is certainly they can display screen folks from a range and within a few minutes can test hundreds of individuals for fever. In China fresh AI-powered cell phone software are being produced to monitor person's overall health and track the regional spread for the virus. Such programs aim to anticipate which areas of citizens and towns are most vunerable to the detrimental impacts of the coronavirus outbreak, to allow patients to get real-time waiting-time information off their medical providers, to supply people with advice and updates about their condition without them having to visit a hospital personally, and to notify people of potential infection hotspots in real time so those areas could be avoided. These technologies generally need usage of data transmitted by cell phones, including location data. While the tools are being created, it is important to also develop a framework so they can be as effectual as possible in practice. For this, close coordination between specialists, telecoms providers, high tech markets and analysis institutions is needed. High-tech firms and leading educational institutions can provide the tools, telecoms firms can provide usage of individual's data, and authorities should ensure that data writing conforms with privacy rules and does not make risks the data of individuals will end up being misused. For instance, in Belgium, sets of data from telecommunications providers are combined with wellness data beneath the supervision of the Belgian Personal Data Safety Authority to be able to generate aggregate and anonymity territorial-level datasets you can use to determine how the virus spreads and which areas are high risk. Comparable initiatives are underway far away. In Austria, the largest telecommunications operator obtained an understanding using the authorities to provide anonymity statistics, while, an identical anonymity customer data-sharing mechanism continues to be put in place to monitor and assess people movements. Basic Strategies to Protect Private Data Educational analysis can also be useful in illustrating how knowledge sharing can be planned while preventing personal privacy dangers. The Human Dynamics Group at MIT Press Testing center for instance, spent some time working extensively with cellphone data to investigate the behavior of individuals while respecting high level of privacy standards. It suggests secure multiple parties calculation to keep customer's secrecy. MIT's secrecy-friendly personal data mechanisms could be a basis for designing a data-sharing standard to limit the spread of Coronavirus. A consortium of doctors, technicians, data scientists, personal privacy activists, teachers and researchers from different parts of the globe are working on an open-source mobile phone app to avoid the spread from the disease without building a surveillance state government. The software program probes for overlaps of personal GPS trails with the trails of all infected patients (whose anonymity personal data is provided by health professionals), when cryptographic solutions are used and there is no sharing of live data (personal data will not leave the device). This technique provides early alerts and personalized info that allow individuals who signed up to the app to understand their own direct exposure and risks, predicated on earlier contact with infected patients. Disposition is using cutting-edge data mining ways to gather information regarding the rapidly changing situation from multiple sources. These include case reviews from health regulators, details of symptoms in patients and also fresh academic analysis on the disease. Each time there's a fresh outbreak, they are able to use the brand-new data to test and improve their models. We are collecting data about instances from all over the world with as very much details as is possible, the onset of signs of illness, the travel they produced, contacts that they had. The crew after that combines this with information regarding human routines, such as daily routines and travel behaviour, so they can analyze where else the virus may spread.

At first we were utilizing air travel data to work through the way the coronavirus can disseminate of Asia. Among the teams around the project in addition has been using location data from cell phones in China to look at how people shifted around and comunicated with one another. Technology is meant to be a tool, it is designed to give you superpowers. That isn't what we're carrying out at this time. click through the up coming post All of us are passing over our values to a non-human entity that will not have our interests in mind. The business isn't suggesting people delete their Facebook accounts and toss their phones and laptops in to the bay. Neither is it suggesting Facebook or Google spent hundreds of billions of dollars in market value and become nonprofits. The center is entirely about hoping to make all of these products we like even more gentle. The target is to bring together policymakers and doctors and technologists to speak about the dark side of social media marketing and additional apps that are on smart phones. The company hopes to educate users and influence tech management to improve business behaviour that don't help clients. Facebook's latest problems more than election manipulation, hate talk and data leaks are assisting to concentrate more attention on the center's messages. It is time for a deeper, broader discussion about the info, who is the owner of it, who gets paid for it. We must challenge the leaders of these companies and leaders of societies to be sure these technologies will work for us. Vendors like Facebook and Google offer their technologies free. Which means they depend on increasing time allocated to their apps and internet sites to increase advertising profits or to mine information about users behaviors and preferences. Pattern-changing concepts became important as they competed against each other for the interest of users. While using such information as an input, study on (social) networks is trying to forecast how also to what level the virus will disperse, given a set of pre-determined variables and attributes. Authorities can use these scenarios to get ready their contingency plans in time. Highly recommended Internet page Using information on enough time individuals spend in a particular location and on the amount of infections that occur there, scientists produce spatial types that depict the advancement of associates between contaminated people, to be able to capture how transmission evolves. One of the preliminary results of such efforts is that predicting the transmission of Coronavirus is harder than for past infections because individuals can carry the pathogen without teaching signs of illness, and their health problems are therefore difficult to identify. A lot of the issues in Wuhan appear to have already been transmitted through such asymptomatic carriers. Therefore, intensive COVID-19 testing programmers (like that implemented in South Korea) can be helpful by providing data for the better efficiency of these models. AI may also be applied to the automatic detection and removal of misinformation linked to the malware posted on internet sites; producing highly accurate and timely CT scans for the detection of virus-induced pneumonia; 3D printing to produce the tools necessary for rigorous healthcare; search engine optimization of clinical tests of medicines and potential vaccines; advancement of robotic systems to sanitize infected areas; and on-line systems for the medical examination of individuals. Timing, of course, is critical (a report around the 1918 influenza pandemic shows that U.S. towns that used non-pharmaceutical methods at an early phase had peak death rates 50% lower than those that didn't). Authorities have been criticised for failing to grasp the severity from the coronavirus circumstance rather than imposing coordinated methods early.

With the rise of technological advancements in diverse areas including human interactions, tourism, industrial sectors, businesses and most importantly is the dominance of technology in the education sector. Nowadays, the education industry would be enhanced to $252 billion by 2020.

Today, learning has become the most captivating source of attaining experiences, both within the internal or outside of the classroom environment. Hence, with the stable implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) associated with Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, it isn’t the case with having hands-on experience with learning trends has flourished to the next level. However, the question of arises that what are significant alternations that are mostly faced by the people. Hence, in this article, we have highlighted the reasons that explain the impact of AR & VR in the education industry.

Students Having Knowledge Of Coding Fundamentals

Certainly, software development and coding trends have already been initiated with mere focus on open-source tools for education and relevant industries. Therefore, students are exposed to coding as it is the part of their curriculum and technology is now considered as an integral part of the classroom and even more prevalent than the conventional approaches and elements i.e. chalks, markers, blackboards, and whiteboards.

It is obvious that programming and coding principles and its hands-on exposure with various coding languages and frameworks aims to prepare the student to have clear comprehensive experience of latest technology pertaining to AR and VR trends constituted in a more useful and effective way because when that student grows up and steps further in advanced classes, the nature of the job that he or she chooses to work would most probably be related to technology and relevant genre will certainly require coding tools and techniques to perform your work in timely and effective way.

Improved Engagement within the classroom environment

It must be kept into consideration that over 30 years of applications of AR and VR has been a questionable subject of conducting academic research and development strategies. Significantly, the applications of AI including AR and VR provides various techniques that assist you to expand your knowledge and understanding regarding using various tools and techniques for the development of the more accurate and detailed illustration of how the human mind works in a precise way.

With the dynamic expansion of AR & VR trends, students can be possibly engaged in several distinctive ways to make expansion across the reach of outdated textbooks or classified classrooms. The recent reports support this fact, explaining the ways in which AR and VR will respectively transform the insights pertaining to the education industry in the upcoming decades.

For Instance, in a class of history, the teachers want to speak about the wars happened during the independence time frame, students can figure out an animated battle via Google Glass or VR Glasses, so that students can travel to the virtual world of when the time period of dinosaurs existed and walked amongst various creatures to learn about specific topics in detailed understanding and planned pace.

Furthermore, AI applications pertaining to AR and VR tools and resources will be soon accessed in classrooms via desktop computers, laptops or smartphones.

Distinction among online platforms and traditional classrooms

With the advancement of wide online educational platforms including Coursera, Udemy, Khan Academy, Allision and others. Likewise, we mostly see quite a lot of people involved in attaining education from renowned institutions, universities, and training centers. Now, anyone can get remotely enrolled in a university which is thousands of kilometers away with just tapping a single click.

Significantly, Universities, Institutions, and Colleges are starting to provide quality based and real-time education in the form of online courses, certification and training programs will be provided to the people located at remote cities, countries and nations. By 2019, Almost 50% of all higher education courses and trainings will be provided online.

Furthermore, in 2017, the research indicates that 9 out of 10 deans expected the number of online courses, certification and training programs to be increased in the upcoming decades.

Providing Concise Information

It is essential to provide essential details and information that helps people those who use smart content that uses the knowledge of various areas of AI particularly AR and VR helps people to disseminate and breaks down your conceptual framework of textbook content into concise “smart” study guide that comprises of chapter summaries, fill in the blanks, multiple choice questions (MCQs), true and false questions, and practical tests.

Hence, all of the detailed information will be prevalent to provide concise and accurate information for students to excel in their studies that will result in their personal growth and knowledge to expose their skills for their career growth in their respective stage of products and services.

Always remember that technology is the best companion

It should always be kept into consideration that technology is the key aspect that brings up to a lot of situations perceiving the association of conventional roles and practices. Honestly, when it brings up education, there is no any alteration for predicting human-computer interaction, and in these situations, the role of the teacher becomes quite essential than ever.

Hence, with the consumption of AI applications such as AR and VR, we make the transition from simply learning a subject or specific topic and we switch into the feeling and experiencing the visualized content which is taught as a subject in the smart classrooms.

Significantly, smart automation helps to streamline its basic tasks, leaving teachers and educationists to get involved in such important guidelines. Moreover, it will provide essential relationships between the student and teacher throughout maintaining personalized education strategies.

Furthermore, teachers will be able to focus on assisting their students to develop the personalized features needed into 21st century based non-cognitive skills.

Wrap Up

As discussed in the article AR & VR is revolutionizing the education industry, and maintaining real-time communication is constantly revolutionizing E-Learning by empowering real-time based on engaging experiences via performing smart automation is anticipating educationists to take relevant advantages associated with technological advancements in the dimensions of AR and VR.

Hence, by utilizing live communication with video streaming aspects, educationists can reach at any scale along with providing online tutors which deliver in-depth facial recognition and personalized experience that students respondto work well in a classroom. Thus, popular companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Double Robotics are providing enormous online learning and real-time communication.

Hence it is proven that AR and VR are the game changers of the education industry. Click To Tweet

A search marketer’s guide to using paid social media

The battle between those who specialize in certain marketing practices is prevalent throughout the industry. Individuals, departments and indeed agencies are all involved.

After all, they are often competing for the same budget, beating their chests and promoting their own channel as the most valuable. It is understandable. We all need to make a living.

But in reality they should all be working together to deliver economies of scale. Fully integrated campaigns can deliver far better results than the sum of its component parts.

SEO and social media would at first appear to be very different practices, especially when taking into account paid social advertising. However, there are significant SEO benefits to be gained from utilizing social media advertising as both an outreach platform and also as an analytics platform. Let’s jump straight into it.

We are assuming a certain level of knowledge when it comes social media advertising. For those not ‘in the know’, you can be pretty darn specific in regards to your demographics when advertising on major platforms such as Facebook.

Make the most of your content

For years now content has been one of the major focal points of SEO campaigns, giving birth to potentially the most irritating and overused saying in SEO: “Content is King”! Jayson Demers noted back in 2015 that SEO is now synonymous with content marketing and that as a result SEO teams are investing heavily in content creation.

Let’s assume you are doing all the right things. You have a solid grasp of your buyer personas and inbound funnels. You have thoroughly researched content opportunities within your specific market, using this research to help influence your strategy. You’re also ensuring that your on-site optimization for each article is top notch so that you attract that ever growing portion of traffic from long tail keywords.

This is great, genuinely it is. Although are you missing a trick by not integrating additional marketing channels into your content strategy? Email is awesome at disseminating content to both prospective and current clients, but what of social media advertising?

To paint an industry with an awfully large brush, content creation is sometimes too heavily focused on gaining traffic directly from search engines due to the user intent associated with those actively searching, and the fact that often this is what the client is basing payment of their invoice on!

However, taking a quick step back, if this content is aligned to your conversion funnel then surely getting in front of as many eyes as possible (via other channels) should therefore still have a significant benefit. SEO teams can utilize social media advertising platforms to push this content to users that fall within their buyer persona profiles which should ultimately produce conversions (it may require a few more touch points, but you get the point).

Of course the advertising spend would have to be included in your cost per acquisition calculations but hopefully the following points show how you can use social media advertising to make your investment into content pay a higher rate of dividends.

Keep them coming back

Inbound marketing often works best through multiple touch points during the buyer’s journey. If your traffic is converting to customers directly from a single piece of content then that’s awesome, good for you! For the rest of the world that aren’t unicorns we need to keep our readers coming back in order to help them find their way down our own sales funnels.

Re-targeting the traffic to your website via social media with awesome content is one such tactic to keep your traffic returning. Use retargeting tools on social media to maintain your touch points with users, building brand authority and trust.

Some friendly persuasion

Sometimes people just need a little nudge. Ultimately you don’t want people clicking on your retargeting posts, consuming your content and then leaving time and time again. That can be a costly ego boost. Eventually you want them to convert!

Assess how your content strategy aligns with your sales funnel. Do you have set pieces of content that lead on from one another which will help you become more specific with your retargeting? Does this pathway eventually lead to a conversion?

Your conversions may not be in monetary form. They may involve the user providing some additional contact information in order to download a brochure or them signing up to a free trial. Whatever that conversion looks like, don’t be afraid to ask the question. If you don’t ask, you don’t get. When the time is right, your social retargeting campaigns should include conversion related posts that relate to said individual’s status in your sales funnel.

We all love a good link

We covered the benefits that social media provide for a link building campaign in a recent article, so jump over there for a deeper look.

Suffice to say that again, if you are investing heavily in content, then why not use social media to spread the net even wider and potentially earn links? Paul Shapiro had an interesting tactic for Marketing Land of targeting employees at specific publishing companies as a link building tactic!

Gain analytics insights!

When it comes to analytics tools for SEO, data from the website and SEO specific platforms steal the limelight. The likes of Google Analytics, Search Console and those offered by Moz, SEMrush and Majestic may be the first ones off the tongue but we should also be using analytics gained from other channels in our decisions. You guessed it, social media advertising can be particularly useful in this respect.

In fact, you don’t even need to be using social advertising to get these insights but the specific demographic targeting within social advertising should help provide a higher level of actionable data.

Understanding how to drive clicks

In much the same way as Google Adwords, via Facebook Insights or other social media analytics tools, you can view your click-through rate per post. Whilst this is also influenced by other factors such as time of post, engagement or demographic targeting, you can also draw insights into what content is proving most popular with your audience.

Is the subject matter performing or does the content strategy need to be revisited?

Are titles really attention grabbing or lack the ability to drive enthusiasm?

This type of data can be used to influence your content strategy, even if it is as simple as creating article titles that increase click through rates.

Just starting out?

Some content pieces can be spectacularly well researched and written but receive far less traffic than expected. There are additional factors that will dictate the ability of your website’s content to rank in search engines including the overall authority of your website, the link profile of that article or load speed.

More often than not a lack of traffic will mean that the analytics associated with that content piece becomes less reliable, subsequently preventing you from really fine tuning your content strategy.

Social media advertising can be incredibly valuable in driving ‘pay per play’ traffic to your content and therefore allowing you to capture that all important data. It doesn’t need to be specific to your content either. Conversion rate optimization is an important part of any digital marketing campaign so you can also capitalize on social traffic to help identify opportunities within your website’s user flow.

So there you have it. Yet another reason to make sure that your social media and SEO teams are working together.

Of course, you don’t need to try to implement of the above points at once – in fact we would advise taking them one step at a time. The most important point? Move away from marketing channels operating within their own silo.

Integrate your marketing, share data, use content across multiple channels and collaborate to increase your results across the board!

A search marketer’s guide to using paid social media

The battle between those who specialize in certain marketing practices is prevalent throughout the industry. Individuals, departments and indeed agencies are all involved.

After all, they are often competing for the same budget, beating their chests and promoting their own channel as the most valuable. It is understandable. We all need to make a living.

But in reality they should all be working together to deliver economies of scale. Fully integrated campaigns can deliver far better results than the sum of its component parts.

SEO and social media would at first appear to be very different practices, especially when taking into account paid social advertising. However, there are significant SEO benefits to be gained from utilizing social media advertising as both an outreach platform and also as an analytics platform. Let’s jump straight into it.

We are assuming a certain level of knowledge when it comes social media advertising. For those not ‘in the know’, you can be pretty darn specific in regards to your demographics when advertising on major platforms such as Facebook.

Make the most of your content

For years now content has been one of the major focal points of SEO campaigns, giving birth to potentially the most irritating and overused saying in SEO: “Content is King”! Jayson Demers noted back in 2015 that SEO is now synonymous with content marketing and that as a result SEO teams are investing heavily in content creation.

Let’s assume you are doing all the right things. You have a solid grasp of your buyer personas and inbound funnels. You have thoroughly researched content opportunities within your specific market, using this research to help influence your strategy. You’re also ensuring that your on-site optimization for each article is top notch so that you attract that ever growing portion of traffic from long tail keywords.

This is great, genuinely it is. Although are you missing a trick by not integrating additional marketing channels into your content strategy? Email is awesome at disseminating content to both prospective and current clients, but what of social media advertising?

To paint an industry with an awfully large brush, content creation is sometimes too heavily focused on gaining traffic directly from search engines due to the user intent associated with those actively searching, and the fact that often this is what the client is basing payment of their invoice on!

However, taking a quick step back, if this content is aligned to your conversion funnel then surely getting in front of as many eyes as possible (via other channels) should therefore still have a significant benefit. SEO teams can utilize social media advertising platforms to push this content to users that fall within their buyer persona profiles which should ultimately produce conversions (it may require a few more touch points, but you get the point).

Of course the advertising spend would have to be included in your cost per acquisition calculations but hopefully the following points show how you can use social media advertising to make your investment into content pay a higher rate of dividends.

Keep them coming back

Inbound marketing often works best through multiple touch points during the buyer’s journey. If your traffic is converting to customers directly from a single piece of content then that’s awesome, good for you! For the rest of the world that aren’t unicorns we need to keep our readers coming back in order to help them find their way down our own sales funnels.

Re-targeting the traffic to your website via social media with awesome content is one such tactic to keep your traffic returning. Use retargeting tools on social media to maintain your touch points with users, building brand authority and trust.

Some friendly persuasion

Sometimes people just need a little nudge. Ultimately you don’t want people clicking on your retargeting posts, consuming your content and then leaving time and time again. That can be a costly ego boost. Eventually you want them to convert!

Assess how your content strategy aligns with your sales funnel. Do you have set pieces of content that lead on from one another which will help you become more specific with your retargeting? Does this pathway eventually lead to a conversion?

Your conversions may not be in monetary form. They may involve the user providing some additional contact information in order to download a brochure or them signing up to a free trial. Whatever that conversion looks like, don’t be afraid to ask the question. If you don’t ask, you don’t get. When the time is right, your social retargeting campaigns should include conversion related posts that relate to said individual’s status in your sales funnel.

Hence, with the stable implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) associated with Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, it isn’t the case with having hands-on experience with learning trends has flourished to the next level. However, the question of arises that what are significant alternations that are mostly faced by the people. Hence, in this article, we have highlighted the reasons that explain the impact of AR & VR in the education industry.

Students Having Knowledge Of Coding Fundamentals

Certainly, software development and coding trends have already been initiated with mere focus on open-source tools for education and relevant industries. Therefore, students are exposed to coding as it is the part of their curriculum and technology is now considered as an integral part of the classroom and even more prevalent than the conventional approaches and elements i.e. chalks, markers, blackboards, and whiteboards.

It is obvious that programming and coding principles and its hands-on exposure with various coding languages and frameworks aims to prepare the student to have clear comprehensive experience of latest technology pertaining to AR and VR trends constituted in a more useful and effective way because when that student grows up and steps further in advanced classes, the nature of the job that he or she chooses to work would most probably be related to technology and relevant genre will certainly require coding tools and techniques to perform your work in timely and effective way.

The recent reports support this fact, explaining the ways in which AR and VR will respectively transform the insights pertaining to the education industry in the upcoming decades.

For Instance, in a class of history, the teachers want to speak about the wars happened during the independence time frame, students can figure out an animated battle via Google Glass or VR Glasses, so that students can travel to the virtual world of when the time period of dinosaurs existed and walked amongst various creatures to learn about specific topics in detailed understanding and planned pace.

Furthermore, AI applications pertaining to AR and VR tools and resources will be soon accessed in classrooms via desktop computers, laptops or smartphones.

Distinction among online platforms and traditional classrooms

With the advancement of wide online educational platforms including Coursera, Udemy, Khan Academy, Allision and others. Likewise, we mostly see quite a lot of people involved in attaining education from renowned institutions, universities, and training centers. Now, anyone can get remotely enrolled in a university which is thousands of kilometers away with just tapping a single click.

Significantly, Universities, Institutions, and Colleges are starting to provide quality based and real-time education in the form of online courses, certification and training programs will be provided to the people located at remote cities, countries and nations. By 2019, Almost 50% of all higher education courses and trainings will be provided online.

Furthermore, in 2017, the research indicates that 9 out of 10 deans expected the number of online courses, certification and training programs to be increased in the upcoming decades.

Providing Concise Information

It is essential to provide essential details and information that helps people those who use smart content that uses the knowledge of various areas of AI particularly AR and VR helps people to disseminate and breaks down your conceptual framework of textbook content into concise “smart” study guide that comprises of chapter summaries, fill in the blanks, multiple choice questions (MCQs), true and false questions, and practical tests.

Hence, all of the detailed information will be prevalent to provide concise and accurate information for students to excel in their studies that will result in their personal growth and knowledge to expose their skills for their career growth in their respective stage of products and services.

Always remember that technology is the best companion

It should always be kept into consideration that technology is the key aspect that brings up to a lot of situations perceiving the association of conventional roles and practices. Honestly, when it brings up education, there is no any alteration for predicting human-computer interaction, and in these situations, the role of the teacher becomes quite essential than ever.

Hence, with the consumption of AI applications such as AR and VR, we make the transition from simply learning a subject or specific topic and we switch into the feeling and experiencing the visualized content which is taught as a subject in the smart classrooms.

Significantly, smart automation helps to streamline its basic tasks, leaving teachers and educationists to get involved in such important guidelines. Moreover, it will provide essential relationships between the student and teacher throughout maintaining personalized education strategies.

Furthermore, teachers will be able to focus on assisting their students to develop the personalized features needed into 21st century based non-cognitive skills.

Wrap Up
