The widespread use of the Internet for knowledge acquisition is commonplace in the developed world. However, in developing countries, where resources are limited, the infrastructure to support networking could be scarce. This pilot project is a design for implementing a program to train teachers to use laptops in their classroom instruction, and for students to have access to the laptops for as...

This work explored mechanisms to asynchronously distribute video objects to intranet users. The primary application driver was to disseminate lecture videos created by the instructor as well as annotated videos from students. The storage requirements made remote storage mechanisms as well as local infrastructure storage impractical. Hence, we investigated the feasibility of distributing video c...

The ubiquity and capability of off-the-shelf laptop computers offer AI educators remarkable opportunities to reach broadly across the subfields of AI. By leveraging student laptops, instructors can make so-called low-level subfields of artificial intelligence – for example, computer vision and robotics -almost as accessible as investigations into higher-level topics that might rely less on sens...

1. Implement Pin2 + TPM on laptops. Under this alternative, a user will be prompted for a Pin before the computer boots. Once the user authenticates, they will be prompted for the OS password to gain access to the computer. This authentication scheme is very strong, but is slightly disruptive because users may need two credentials instead of one to access their device. 2. Implement TPM only on ...

As a tendency to use new technologies, gadgets such as laptop computers are becoming more popular among students, teachers, businessmen and office workers. Today laptops are a great tool for education and learning, work and personal multimedia. Millions of men, especially those in the reproductive age, are frequently using their laptop computers on the lap (thigh). Over the past several years, ...
