To make the battery life longer

Read the following tips to make the battery life longer.

• Use the power saving function.
  Your computer has two distinct power saving modes which apply to the computer not in use: Sleep mode and Hibernate mode.
  To place the computer into Sleep mode, press the power button (with the default setting). To place the computer into Hibernate mode, press and hold the Fn key and press the F12 key.
  Place the computer into Sleep mode as often as possible and into Hibernate mode when you do not use it for a while, and turn it off when you do not intend to use for an extended period of time.
  The computer goes back to the previous work state from Hibernate mode in a shorter time than it takes for the computer to run after you press the power button, and the computer comes out of Sleep mode in a shorter time than Hibernate mode.
• Adjust the LCD brightness of your computer screen.
• Decrease the volume of the speakers or headphones.
• Disconnect any peripheral devices not in use.

About battery life and the remaining battery level icon in the pop-up window

While your computer is running on battery power, the window containing battery life information (battery life and the remaining battery level icon) is displayed when you click the power status icon in the Windows desktop notification area.

This information may significantly change right after you disconnect the AC adapter or depending on the computer status just before you check the information, because it is calculated based on the computer status. In such a case, wait for a while, and then check it again.
Battery life, described in specifications, is measured with the designated power saving mode.
Battery life in the Windows desktop notification area is displayed shorter than the one in the specifications, because the computer is delivered with the default settings that enable you to use it with the optimal performance.

To maintain the battery health

Your computer has the battery care function. By setting the maximum charge level lower with the function, you can slow battery degradation and maintain the battery health.

Moodle sebagai salah satu platform LMS (Learning Management System) sudah banyak dikenal dan dimanfaatkan. Potensi Moodle yang digunakan masih sebatas untuk menyajikan informasi yang terstruktur dan hanya bisa dibaca (dimengerti) oleh pengguna (manusia), belum banyak digali potensi supaya mesin juga bisa mengerti informasi yang tersedia.

Ada banyak manfaat ketika mesin terlibat dalam mengekstrak informasi, seperti mesin bisa terlibat dalam mengendalikan managemen pembelajaran, membuat rekomendasi sesuai aturan yang diterapkan, memfilter informasi yang dibutuhkan, melakukan penalaran konten pembelajaran, atau merelasikan satu konten dengan konten pembelajaran yang lain [1]. Untuk kebutuhan tersebut perlu ditambahkan aturan dan kemampuan semantik pada Moodle.

Tulisan ini akan mengulas apa yang dibutuhkan untuk menyisipkan aturan dan kemampuan semantik pada Moodle.

Saat ini teknologi web semantik masih relatif sulit diterapkan pada LMS sehingga pengguna belum merasakan manfaatnya secara luas [2]. Untuk membantu memperkaya konten dengan semantik biasanya menggunakan standard tertentu, misalkan RDFa [3] atau Microformats [4]. Tulisan ini mempunyai fokus pada standard RDFa.

Pada dasarnya konten pembelajaran pada Moodle berisi banyak informasi yang dapat digunakan untuk menjawab beberapa permintaan tapi dengan cara konvensional (membuat query). Semantik seharusnya bisa diekstrak dan aturan-aturan atas data terstruktur yang didefinisikan bisa dieksekusi. Untuk ini dibutuhkan:

1. Salah satu platform reasoning, misalkan Jena 2 (Framework web semantik) [5], berguna untuk melakukan penalaran (reasoning) di level atas dari basis fakta RDF dengan aturan tertentu.
2. Moodle Information Model yang diturunkan dari Platform Specific Model (PSM) dari skema basis data Moodle [2]. Model ini berisi sejumlah kelas-kelas dan relasi-relasi yang akan membantu RDF-izing konten Moodle eksisting.
3. Representasi RDF diturunkan langsung dari kebutuhan no. 2. Setiap kelas UML pada diagram (model) berhubungan dengan kelas skema RDF yang dibuat dan setiap atribut UML berhubungan dengan property skema RDF. Basis fakta RDF dapat diupdate dari basis data Moodle secara otomatis dengan script yang dijalankan secara periodis [2].

Ketiga kebutuhan dasar itu menjadi penting ketika akan dilakukan penyisipan aturan dan kemampuan semantik pada Moodle.

Tulisan berikutnya akan berisi proses/tahapan yang diperlukan.

Fujitsu Limited established the Fujitsu Scholarship Program in 1985 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of its founding. The aim was to provide the opportunity for people from the Asia-Pacific region to contribute to the region through studying different values, cultures, and global business. This has been a Fujitsu’s key initiative for deepening the relationships between the countries and citizens of the Asia-Pacific region. This scholarship has since enabled 420 professionals from 18 countries to study cross-cultural management at JAIMS, the Japan-America Institute of Management Science, in Hawaii, U.S.A.

The Fujitsu Scholarship provides full financial assistance for postgraduate education and cross-cultural management training in the East-West Knowledge Leaders Program (EWKLP) at JAIMS. The EWKLP has a three-month curriculum, which synthesizes the best practices of both the East and West. The participants will sharpen their global management knowledge and skills, and build the confidence necessary for success in global business situations. Selected Fujitsu Scholar will attend the EWKLP beginning in April 2012, followed by a week-long Japan Portion.

Moodle is one of Learning Management System (LMS). Moodle developed in Linux using Apache, MySQL, and PHP (also sometimes known as the LAMP platform), but is also regularly tested with PostgreSQL and on Windows XP, Mac OS X and Netware 6 operating systems

The requirements for Moodle are as follows:

• Web server software. Most people use Apache.
• PHP scripting language (version 4.1.0 or later). PHP 5 is supported as of Moodle 1.4.
• A working database server: MySQL or PostgreSQL are completely supported and recommended for use with Moodle.

Most web hosts support all of this by default.
If you want to run Moodle on your own computer and all this looks a bit daunting, then please take a look at the administrator documentation.
