"But Nguyen-Bull said her company was uninterested in signing the [CISA] pledge, calling it meaningless without any clear cybersecurity standards. Yet she also balked at the idea of regulations that would set specific cybersecurity requirements.
“We’re not just going to sign random pledges that ask for slightly different things if we don’t know if we can track those things,” she said. “As a small family-run business, we don’t have five compliance people tracking all of the different pledges and ensuring that we check all of the boxes.”
Is it your campus' #LMS, #CMS, #Portal, #Email, etc. that provide value, or your academic programs, faculty, research, etc.?
"Actors in the private sector [#HigherEducation] need to distinguish between the algorithmic technologies and data that are key to their intellectual-property and business model and the secondary ones that eventually support the former."
Mentimeter.com was my favourite go to-page for quick measuring of understanding or student well being in the classroom. As several other services even this service is now some kind of freemium, from free for most use cases.
What's your best free alternative for polling in the classroom or faculty?
Because these posts scroll away, I have posted something on DataBreaches.net about the discrepancies between what Raptor Technologies has told school districts and WIRED and what we know about the incident -- and what we don't know yet:
(1) Fowler's notification to Raptor was weeks after I sent RAPTOR multiple notifications that they had not responded to appropriately. And I verified: Fowler was notifying them about the same blob I had been notifying them about. So we know that blob was first exposed no later than November 3 when a researcher notified me about it. Did Raptor tell school districts when the blob was first unsecured?
(2) I have sent an inquiry to Raptor asking why they claim only Fowler and their staff had accessed files, as the first (November) researcher had accessed files in November and I had accessed them in December to verify and to check to see if Raptor locked it down after I notified them. I have now asked Raptor if they really have access logs.
Amazingly, I have gotten no response so far. Again.
(3) I also reached out to Ann Arbor Public Schools to ask what they did in response to the security alert I sent them on December 3 that they never responded to.... and to ask if Raptor told Angell Elementary that there was a file with every student's picture and information -- including parental phone numbers and emergency phone numbers that was leaking and downloaded.
So far, I haven't heard back from AAPS or Angell Elementary School either.
Diffit is my #edtech tool of the year already! Create resources on any topic using #AI! Or use a pre-existing resource and change the reading level for students in need! Check out my latest video now on how to use Diffit today! #googleedu#teachingresources@EdTechNews@edtech#aiintheclassroom
[T]he definition currently requires regular and substantive interaction between #students and instructors; substantive interactions with machines or other forms of technology that do not involve in [an] instructor would, therefore, not qualify.
