Green switch: an IoT based energy monitoring system for mabini building in De La Salle Lipa

<p>Building energy management systems (BEMS) are critical tools for managing and controlling a facility's technical systems and services, such as lighting, ventilation, heating, and air conditioning, to ensure that the building operates at peak efficiency while decreasing energy waste. The Mabini Building at De La Salle Lipa has nearly a hundred rooms, 70 of which are used by college students for lecture and laboratory classes. From 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., these rooms are available. In a daily class schedule, air conditioning units and lights are used an average of 10 hours per day, while fans and power outlets are used an average of 5 hours. Even when no classes are being held, the aforementioned equipment is frequently left open in these rooms. The researchers created and constructed an IoT-based energy monitoring system to monitor and control the lights and outlets in a room. The system will also record the number of kilowatt-hours (kWh) consumed. The system employs NodeMCU, current, and voltage sensors, a Raspberry Pi 3, and the school's existing network to send and receive data from the server. The building administrator will use the collected data to give consumption statistics and reduce the carbon footprint.</p>

COORDINATING THE INSTRUCTION OF FOUR ONLINE COURSES

The University of British Columbia Vantage College offers a pathway for academically qualified international students who do not yet meet the English language admission requirements fordirect entry into UBC. In the summer of 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we taught four courses to a cohort of 64 students scattered across the globe. The courses were taught online and asynchronously, raising coordination challenges in terms of class schedule and delivery, assessment, and student support. To address those challenges, we developed a highly structured weekly schedule, specifying lecture and assessment days, as well as regular, synchronous office hours. We met weekly to keep each other updated about the progress of students. Students falling behind in multiple courses were reported in an “early alert” system: a university-specific resource through which students are contacted by health and wellness staff. A midterm survey was conducted and the feedback was generally positive. Final results in the courses were varied, with some comparable

A Year of Online Classes Amid COVID-19 Pandemic: Advantages, Problems, and Suggestions of Economics Students at a Bangladeshi Public University

Though there have been works highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of online learning, no study focused on university-level economics students. None of the studies explored students' opinions about improving the quality and effectiveness of online classes. Many used questionable samples, closed-ended questions, and all those researches were carried out at the beginning of online classes. In this paper, we overcome these limitations of earlier studies. Using a convenience sampling technique and open-ended questions, we collect data from 154 university-level economics students after being exposed to the online class for a year. Some advantages of online classes are: students can do classes from home without being exposed to health risks, easily accessible, flexible class schedule, students remained connected with the study, it saves costs, reduce the likelihood of semester loss, easy to understand, less stressful, and learning new technologies. Major problems from students' perspectives include network problems, difficulties in understanding the topic, unsuitable for mathematical courses, concentration problem, class not interactive, financial constraint, adverse health impacts, device issues, power outages, unfamiliarity with digital technology, internet problem, and unfixed class-schedule. Disadvantages outnumbered advantages. Students made several suggestions to improve the quality and effectiveness of online classes. Some of the vital suggestions are: using state-of-the-art digital tools, recording and uploading lectures, resolving internet issues, holding classes regularly, higher efforts to make the topics easier, resolving network issues, lowering class duration, institutional support, implementing a fixed class schedule, and introducing online evaluation system.

A Comparative Analysis of the Online Scheduling System

Scheduling system is developed based on customers, individuals or organizational preferences in order to create an efficient and effective management of arrangement in prioritization, tasks, place and time. Some of scheduling systems will integrate a database for effective access of editing, viewing and recording amount of data. However, poor scheduling practices would cause undesirable time redundancy and inefficient process just to schedule a timetable for the lecturers and students. Poor scheduling also can cause a misunderstanding between lectures such as double-assignations of lectures, cancellations of presentations, clash in class schedule, prolonged postponement as well as inefficiency in terms of resources and time. A good scheduling system could generate optimal presentation of timetables and enable a direct interaction between lecturers and administration staff that will take into account all the constraints such as to check availability of time and place of events and real-time updates that will help data handling accuracy, cost effective and efficient time management. Therefore, this study will make a comparison and execute a standard process of scheduling framework for future practice in academic industry. This paper presents a practical method for making a comparison based on the studies on existing scheduling system.
