			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a id="aptureLink_E7WLYgr4PH" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZuFUZpEZ-A">Pivot</a> is an experimental technology that allows people to <a id="aptureLink_fDNejqnMaN" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20visualization">visualize data</a> and then sort, organize and categorize it dynamically. The result is that correlations, exceptions and trends become immediately apparent in ways they can’t when information is stuck in rows and columns.</p>

<p>The program is designed to provide a much more natural way for humans to digest large palettes of information without losing their way — an idea that anyone who has analyzed giant spreadsheets may welcome. And while it has something in common with spreadsheets and many other technologies, <a id="aptureLink_HlJiYfHp5j" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT_x9s67yWA">Flake</a> says Pivot is so new and different that it’s difficult to even picture what it does without seeing it in action.</p>

<p><strong>Presentation Transcript</strong></p>
<p><strong>Elearning has not changed</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> elearning or “<a id="aptureLink_VTIG1UnWs6" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic%20learning">electronic learning</a>” is very broadly classified as a learning imparted using some electronic media .</li>
<li> Basic delivery methodology has not changed.</li>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Content has moved from <a id="aptureLink_AuKPoffZeg" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web-based%20training">WBT</a> (CDs) to Web</li>
<li> More <a id="aptureLink_60vcib0XSs" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning%20management%20system">LMS</a> functionalities developed</li>
<li>Some development in reporting and assessment has been made</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>3. Why eLearning is not so effective</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Human being learn when we want to learn for whatever motivation there is for learning. eLearning will fail when it is pushed</li>
<li> Difficult to assess and report</li>
<li> Emotionless</li>
<li> Not action oriented</li>
<li> Generally a lot of theory and boring</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>4. New eLearning</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> <a id="aptureLink_JYbFe2bCeL" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3WLJq5BucM">Immersive learning</a>: using technology that would use visual, tactile, auditory, olfactory, and gustatory stimuli</li>
<li> <a id="aptureLink_usx90HiE82" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0874255392">On demand learning</a>: learn when I want to learn and what I want to learn (bio- technology)</li>
<li> <a id="aptureLink_MWrkYoPt4f" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented%20reality">Augmented reality</a> learning: creating imparting content using augmented reality and game technology (more fun)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>5. How to Measure</strong></p>
<ul>
<li> Compare: teach the same content with both, old fashion e-learning and the new elearning techniques and assess the trained person</li>
<li> Effectiveness can be compared by knowing how the person is performing in the field after imparting the content</li>
</ul>

Currently we are in the phase where the database is been created. At present, it is used mostly in airports and hospitals however I think it will be a gradual rollout of the biometrics system.</p>
<p>In few years time, I think people would start using biometrics systems just beyond criminal justice system.</p>
<p>Handprints are also different for each individual along side of the figure prints. The machine records the vain and arteries in your hand that is another means of confirming you are who you say you are. The latest recognition tool that is in research is to identify individual by recognizing their <a id="aptureLink_pjNS5HC7D8" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Pattern">walk pattern</a></p>
