D3 Tips and Tricks by Malcolm Maclean. D3.js can help you make data beautiful. D3 Tips and Tricks is a book written to help those who may be unfamiliar with JavaScript or web page creation get started turning information into visualization. Data is the new medium of choice for telling a story or presenting compelling information on the Internet and d3.js is an extraordinary framework for presentation of data on a web page. Is this book for you? It's not written for experts. It's put together as a guide to get you started if you're unsure what d3.js can do. It reads more like a story as it leads the reader through the basics of line graphs and on to discover animation, tooltips, tables, interfacing with MySQL databases via PHP, sankey diagrams, force diagrams, maps and more...
Why was D3 Tips and Tricks written? Because in the process of learning things, it's a great way to remember them if you write them down :-). So here we are! What's in the book? But wait! The awesome that is Open Source. Enjoy. "Thanks, super helpful! " "Thanks!! Text Mining Tool | Theory and Applications. Edited by Shigeaki Sakurai, ISBN 978-953-51-0852-8, 226 pages, Publisher: InTech, Chapters published November 21, 2012 under CC BY 3.0 licenseDOI: 10.5772/3115 Edited Volume Due to the growth of computer technologies and web technologies, we can easily collect and store large amounts of text data.
We can believe that the data include useful knowledge. Text mining techniques have been studied aggressively in order to extract the knowledge from the data since late 1990s. Even if many important techniques have been developed, the text mining research field continues to expand for the needs arising from various application fields. Research projects : Melbourne CSHE.

DATORN i UTBILDNINGEN. Text:Jan Hylén E-Post: jan@janhylen.se Ny trend: Skolutveckling med egna frågor och dataanalys Hur kan skolans personal själv använda data på ett strukturerat sätt för att åstadkomma skolutveckling? Det är en trend som är i stark tillväxt. Men kan denna trend inrymmas inom modetermen Learning Analytics, eller är den lärardrivna analysen något annat?
Nacka och Stockholm har utforskat en metod för datastödd skolutveckling. Det har skett i ett tvåårigt EUstött projekt tillsammans med nederländska forskare, som DIU berättat om i nr 7, 2013. Modellen har två grundpelare. Exemplet från Stockholm och Nacka kan ses som en jordnära och konkret tillämpning av begreppet Learning Analytics, vilket förekommer allt oftare. Fenomen på frammarsch Oavsett benämning så räknar många experter med att fenomenet snart kommer att prägla utbildningsväsendet. Engelsmännen är inte lika övertygade om att det kommer att få en så stor påverkan på utbildningssektorn som den amerikanska Horizon-rapporten antar. Key Takeaways Applying the principles of business intelligence analytics to academia promises to improve student success, retention, and graduation rates and demonstrate institutional accountability. The Signals project at Purdue University has delivered early successes in academic analytics, prompting additional projects and new strategies.
Significant challenges remain before the predictive nature of academic analytics meets its full potential. Academic analytics helps address the public’s desire for institutional accountability with regard to student success, given the widespread concern over the cost of higher education and the difficult economic and budgetary conditions prevailing worldwide. Purdue University’s Signals project applies the principles of analytics widely used in business intelligence circles to the problem of improving student success within a course and, hence, improving the institution’s retention and graduation rates over time. Toward Accountability Figure 1. The Experience API (xAPI): A GPS for Learning by Michael Hruska. “We are about to change the game through interoperability of data about human experience as the xAPI expands in the world. We need to keep finding ways to work together to bring the GPS for learning into the world.”
Learning has changed. Today, our interconnected lives are filled with technologies and new ways of connecting to information and one another. This shift, created by mobile and social along with nearly ubiquitous connectivity, has evolved the world as we know it—and, more importantly, it has given birth to new capabilities for the learning ecosystem. Today’s learning ecosystem is rapidly growing, extremely complex, and overflowing with potential data. Individual employees can access multiple systems on and off the job for formal and informal learning—anything from LMSs to MOOCs to virtual worlds to simulations to classrooms to mobile devices to YouTube.
Yet, while this is possible, learning the right thing at the right time is the real challenge.
