Open Campus ushers in new era of learning by empowering lifelong learners with control over their educational identity and data

Terminal 3

Open Campus, the pioneering community-led Web3 education protocol dedicated to transforming the education sector, announced today a significant milestone: more than 100,000 learners worldwide have now claimed their Open Campus ID. Launched on 23 January 2024, Open Campus ID is a decentralized identifier that empowers learners by providing full control over their educational identities, reputations, and data. The Open Campus ID system facilitates the creation of unique online profiles, along with the issuance of on-chain educational badges and credentials, setting a new standard for digital learning and identity management. Yat Siu, the co-founder of Animoca Brands and a member of the EDU Foundation Council, said: "The core mission of Open Campus is to empower the next generation of lifelong learners. With Open Campus ID, educational credentials will be verifiable and immutable on blockchain, affirming individual skills and experiences to employers and institutions. Learners will have full control over their academic achievements, driving forward a new era for decentralized education." Open Campus ID is secured by Terminal 3’s trusted data platform and cryptographic applications. During user onboarding, personally identifiable information is encrypted and decentrally stored across a network of independent nodes. Institutions then gain use-access to data with a learner’s permission, but only in a privacy-preserving environment where data is never exposed, copied, or transferred. This high level of security is achieved through structured encryption and zero-knowledge cryptography, allowing enterprises to verify personal information without ever seeing the underlying data. “Personal user data, including one’s learning history, achievements, and credentials, should be self-sovereign,” said Gary Liu, Co-founder and CEO of Terminal 3. “Open Campus ID will allow educational credentials to be freely composable while remaining fully private, creating more trust and security in the talent market.” Holding an Open Campus ID will grant learners with a unique.edu identifier, allowing individuals to store their user profile and educational data in a self-sovereign and decentralized vault. Users can control and manage their academic certifications, skills, and achievements, prove their identity in a privacy-preserving manner with verifiable credentials, and unlock access to all Open Campus educational content.

ACD/Labs Launches a New Era of Analytical Knowledge Management in Support of Digital Transformation at Pittcon 2024

ACD/Labs

Cloud-enabled Spectrus Manager JS—the next application in the Spectrus JS family—will help R&D organizations enable analytical data access to all scientists. Multi-technique, vendor agnostic data, uniformly assembled with chemical context, is now broadly accessible to scientists for decision-support and suitable for machine access (AI/ML applications). ACD/Labs, an informatics company that develops and commercializes software in support of digitalized R&D, today announced the continuing evolution of their software to browser-based applications with the release of Spectrus Manager JS. The software will help unlock the value of instrument data for lab and data scientists, and help organizations meet digital transformation goals. Spectrus Manager JS provides scientifically intuitive querying of assembled, contextualized experimental results; and interactive access to LC/UV/MS, GC/MS, NMR, Optical, and other analytical data from all major instrument vendor formats. The capability to store interpreted spectral and chromatographic data with metadata creates a centralized database of knowledge; and data can be reprocessed and re-interrogated in the same browser-based application. Heterogenous analytical data is standardized to be machine accessible for data science applications, and available beyond ACD/Labs’ ecosystem. On premises or hybrid cloud deployment ensures the security of data and intellectual property. “We have been supporting R&D labs with tools to digitalize chemical and analytical data-centric workflows for 30 years,” says Richard Lee, Director of Core Technologies at ACD/Labs. “We continue to migrate and enhance our tools that have been central to scientists’ decision-making for decades to improve accessibility, ease IT overhead, and meet the needs of the lab of the future with an API-forward tech stack. Browser-based, searchable access to digital twins will empower scientists with on-demand access to the data they need to make decisions, eliminate barriers to collaboration, improve productivity, and ultimately accelerate innovation.” Digitalization projects often reduce analytical data to abstracted text and images due to its heterogeneity, limiting usability. Re-use is also difficult due to the number of software interfaces necessary to interact with the different types of raw data. While ACD/Labs’ applications on the Spectrus Platform already addressed these challenges, Spectrus Manager JS further eases data access, software deployment, and maintenance. Deployed in conjunction with Spectrus Conduit, ACD/Labs’ recently introduced low-code/no-code application for workflow automation, Spectrus Manager JS helps organizations achieve FAIR-compliance in analytical data digitalization while meeting their productivity goals. For more information about Spectrus Manager JS, visit ACD/Labs at Booth 2042 in the Pittcon exhibition or visit www.acdlabs.com/SpectrusJS. About ACD/Labs ACD/Labs is a leading provider of scientific software, aiding decision-making and digital transformation in chemical and pharmaceutical R&D. Our science-centric solutions offer harmonized, AI-ready analytical, structural, and molecular information, with FAIR-compliance. Our cloud-enabled technologies enable proliferation of chemically intelligent knowledge and workflow automation. For 30 years, we have partnered with global organizations to enhance productivity and accelerate scientific innovation. For more information, please visit www.acdlabs.com.

New Report Shows Impact of Pandemic-Era Funds for Students Experiencing Homelessness, Calls for an Additional Year for Schools to Use Funds

SchoolHouse Connection

This week, national non-profit SchoolHouse Connection released “Overlooked and Almost Out of Time,” a report showing the impact and reach of pandemic-era relief funds for students experiencing homelessness, as well as the challenges that are preventing schools from using these funds at a time of heightened need. Congress provided the funds, known as the American Rescue Plan – Homeless Children and Youth (ARP-HCY) funds, through a bipartisan amendment to the American Rescue Plan Act, in March 2021. ARP-HCY funds must be obligated by September 2024. “ARP-HCY funds are changing lives – even saving lives. But the limited timeframe for using the funds, combined with administrative restrictions, have created barriers to using funds. Now time is running out,” said Barbara Duffield, Executive Director of SchoolHouse Connection. “Urgent action is needed so that we don’t miss this historic opportunity to help students break the cycle of homelessness through education. We urge Congress to extend the ARP-HCY obligation deadline for one more year, and we implore all education agencies to prioritize ARP-HCY funds.” The report is based on a survey of more than 1,400 school district homeless liaisons from across all 50 states and the District of Columbia, as well as on analyses of federal data. The report found: Child and youth homelessness has increased since the pandemic, creating a greater need for targeted support for students experiencing homelessness. The number of school districts receiving dedicated funding to support students experiencing homelessness has more than doubled as a result of ARP-HCY funding, reaching over half of all school districts nationwide. School district homeless liaisons report many positive impacts of ARP-HCY funds, including increased school stability, identification, and attendance. Still, despite these positive impacts, the report found: One quarter of school district homeless liaisons express concerns about meeting spending deadlines due to administrative hurdles and limited time. An additional 25% of liaisons were unaware they received ARP-HCY funds, potentially making it difficult to meet spending deadlines. Even though liaisons are legally responsible for identifying and supporting students experiencing homelessness, they are often excluded from key decisions about use of funding. Public schools are a critical source of help for children and youth experiencing homelessness, offering stability, services, and the education necessary to permanently escape homelessness and secure a brighter future. Yet homelessness creates barriers to education – many of which can be directly removed with ARP-HCY funds (for example, transportation, store cards to meet basic needs, and short-term emergency motel stays). In addition to administrative barriers getting in the way of effectively using ARP-HCY funds, educational agencies have prioritized spending the $122 billion in ARP Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds at the expense of a focus on ARP-HCY dollars. SchoolHouse Connection’s analysis shows that states have spent ARP ESSER nearly 50% faster than ARP-HCY funds, despite the fact that ARP-HCY funds are less than 1% of ARP ESSER funds. The report lays out recommendations for Congress, the U.S. Department of Education, state and local education leaders, and state legislatures. “While the pandemic is officially over, the crisis of homelessness is unabated and growing. Leadership and action is needed at every level — federal, state, and local – to ensure that these funds are used effectively now and sustained into the future,” Duffield said. A link to the report, including methodology, can be found here. About SchoolHouse Connection SchoolHouse Connection is a national non-profit organization working to overcome homelessness through education. We provide strategic advocacy and practical assistance in partnership with schools, early childhood programs, institutions of higher education, service providers, families, and youth. Our vision is that children and youth experiencing homelessness have full access to quality learning, birth through higher education, so they will never be homeless as adults, and the next generation will never be homeless.

Unveiling Mike Johnson's Vision for the Evolving Cryptocurrency Era in Finance

ZEX GLOBAL MEDIA

The financial landscape is undergoing a substantial metamorphosis, characterized by a growing exodus of individuals diverting their capital from conventional banks towards the realm of cryptocurrencies. This phenomenon has triggered a range of reactions from banking institutions, with some appearing to discourage this shift. This article explores the underlying reasons behind these reactions, bridging the complexities of traditional banking and the allure of digital currencies. Furthermore, it incorporates insights from Mike Johnson, an accomplished investor and former banker who has made a remarkable transition into a fervent advocate for the world of cryptocurrencies. Traditional Banking at a Crossroads: Navigating Challenges Amid the surge in Cryptocurrencies The cornerstone of traditional banking is built upon established models like the fractional reserve banking system, in which client deposits function as a lever for lending and investment activities. However, this system faces challenges when significant sums of money flow into the volatile realm of cryptocurrencies. The redirection of said funds doesn’t just diminish the lending capacity of banks but also presents potential threats to liquidity and their overall financial stability. Banks' concerns extend beyond the present financial repercussions, encompassing the shadow of instability stemming from a widescale shift toward investments in cryptocurrency. The cagey or repressive stance taken by financial institutions in this context can be perceived as a measured strategy for risk management, serving the both the purpose of protecting individual investors, as well as the financial institution. Mike Johnson's Perspective: Shifting from a Banker to Becoming a Crypto Advocate" Providing a unique viewpoint on the ever-shifting financial terrain, Mike Johnson, a former banker-turned-passionate advocate for cryptocurrencies, illuminates the profound shift taking place. Johnson contends that embracing cryptocurrencies goes beyond mere financial decision-making; it signifies a cultural transformation. He passionately states, "It's about seizing ownership of your financial future." In his view, traditional banks, while offering stability, exemplify a system which is intrinsically inflexible and generally slow to embrace innovation. According to Hyman, not only do cryptocurrencies promise significant gains, but they also represent a more flexible and inclusive financial system. While confirming the intrinsic risks that correspond with cryptocurrencies, he maintains that said risks are an essential part of their transformative appeal. He recognizes the tentative stance adopted by banks as a characteristic defensive tactic, but encourages an approach that is more forward-thinking, proposing that banks explore the integration of cryptocurrency based solutions as part of their services. Striking a Balance Between apprehension and Opportunity This prudent approach taken by financial institutions, as previously emphasized, may lead to behavior that might appear to discourage the movement of funds into the cryptocurrency realm. These actions can take the form of increased risk advisories, the implementation of more stringent regulations on transfers, and even categorical measures of discouragement. At this juncture where conventional banking meets the expanding cryptocurrency landscape, the fine equilibrium between caution and the myriad of possibilities that cryptocurrencies offer become all the more apparent. Drawing Insights: Balancing the advancing Financial Landscape The shift from conventional banking to the world of cryptocurrencies represents a significant upheaval in the world of finance. As banks proactively adopt measures to protect their own interests as well as the interests of their clients, these actions form a crucial part of a larger equilibrium within a constantly changing financial environment. Mike Johnson's perspectives serve as a passionate call to remember the importance of adopting a balanced stance. This approach recognizes the stability that traditional banking offers, while also embracing the inherent transformative potential of cryptocurrencies. In an environment where the financial landscape constantly morphs, the strategies that financial institutions and investors rely on must remain adaptable, each navigating through the ever-changing and evolving landscape with foresight and agility.
