My efforts and experiences have given me a unique perspective on the systems and processes of successfully designing and delivering curriculum from both the technical and instructional design perspectives. I am passionate about creating highly dynamic and immersive learning opportunities for students. Collborating with instructors to create innovative educational experiences that are individualized and engage students to become active empowered learners is incredibly rewarding on multiple levels. As people in the educational process access and come from a place of curiousity, enthusiasm, and creativity to connect with each other, find solutions, and collaborate on meaningful endeavors, they become more and more cabaple of contributing to their own well-being, their families, their places of employment, and their communities. ~ Tracy Kornienko
"ChatGPT can be a valuable tool in a new paradigm of education. Because ChatGPT responds to an individual learner’s questions and allows them to guide the conversation, it can adjust to each student and their needs, providing a learner-centered dynamic. A learner-centered approach is vital in a post-industrial educational system. Also, since it is responding to the person forming the prompts, by its nature, ChatGPT will adapt to learners' pacing, responding to their understanding, which aligns perfectly to create personalized learning experiences, an essential aspect of a new instructional system. A new paradigm of education draws on the students' interest. Because ChatGPT is a new, dynamic, and unusually responsive tool, there are many opportunities for it to be a more enjoyable learning experience that promotes intrinsic motivation in learners." ~Tracy Kornienko
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of interconnected physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity. These "smart" objects can collect and exchange data with each other through the internet, enabling them to communicate and perform various functions without the need for direct human intervention. As technology continues to advance, the IoT is expected to play an increasingly significant role in shaping the way we interact with the world around us.
Edge computing, in simple terms, refers to the practice of processing and analyzing data closer to the source of that data, rather than relying on a centralized cloud server. Instead of sending all data to a distant data center for processing, edge computing brings computational power closer to where the data is generated. This can be visualized as the "edge" of the network, which is closer to the devices and sensors producing the data.
Edge computing brings the processing power closer to where the data is generated, leading to faster responses, more efficient use of bandwidth, and enhanced privacy and security, especially in the context of the growing number of connected devices in the IoT era.
Biometrics is the measurement and statistical analysis of people's unique physical and behavioral characteristics. These characteristics are used to verify or identify individuals. Biometric systems are commonly employed for security and access control, replacing or augmenting traditional authentication methods like passwords or identification cards.
