A security researcher says Microsoft Azure and Canonical are creating a privacy issue by allowing sales reps to track users spinning Ubuntu Linux on Azure. Bentley Systems advisor Luca Bongiorini was stunned when a Canonical sales rep contact him shortly after he spun an instance of Ubuntu 18.04 on Microsofts cloud platform.

Just three hours later, he received a message from a rep saying, I saw that you spun up an Ubuntu image in Azure. Bongiorni was stunned that a salesperson was able to track him in such a manner. It is worth noting Canonical is the developers behind Ubuntu.

Outraged by this breach of privacy, the security expert was less than diplomatic in his response: What the f*** is happening here? WHY [did] MICROSOFT FORWARDED TO UBUNTU THAT I SPUN A NEW VM!?! Customer privacy, whats that?

The situation provided Microsoft rivals with a chance to score some free points against the company. Corey Quinn, Chief Cloud Economist for Duckbill Group but also a pro-Amazon Web Services (AWS) blogger suggests Microsoft is playing fast and lose with user information:

@azure had a GOLDEN opportunity to pull a we dont mine your data, we dont compete with you, WHO KNOWS what @GCPcloud and @awscloud do with your confidential cloud info! Instead, they legit did exactly what their competitors dont, but we worry about.

So, is Microsoft allowing third-party services to have almost instant access to Azure data? ZDNet reached out to the company for an explanation. According to a spokesperson, its withing Azures T&Cs to allow service/app publishers to access customer data when their product is used:

Customer privacy and trust is our top priority at Microsoft. We do not sell any information to third-party companies and only share customer information with Azure Marketplace publishers when customers deploy their product, as outlined in our Terms and Conditions. Our terms with our publishers allow them to provide customers with implementation and technical support for their products but restricts them from using contact details for marketing purposes.

Canonical confirms this is what happened in this instance:

As per the Azure T&Cs, Microsoft shares with Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu, the contact details of developers launching Ubuntu instances on Azure. These contact details are held in Canonicals CRM in accordance with privacy rules. On February 10th, a new Canonical Sales Representative contacted one of these developers via LinkedIn, with a poor choice of word. In light of this incident, Canonical will be reviewing its sales training and policies.

Microsoft also adds:

If you purchase or use a Marketplace Offering, we may share with the Publisher of such Offering your contact information and details about the transaction and your usage. We will not share your Customer Data (as defined in this Section 3) with any Publisher without your permission.

One problem here is Microsoft is clearly offering a blurry privacy setup that may confuse Azure customers. For example, how does contact information (which can be shared) not fall under the same classification as Customer Data (which requires consent)?

This probably means the original Azure wrap up agreement you know, the one no-one reads but agrees to anyway is all the consent Microsoft needs to share contact information. As for Bongiorini, once was enough and he is jumping to another cloud provider.

Tip of the day:

Do you get flooded by notifications in Windows 10 from apps and want to disable them completely or just the notification sound? Our tutorial shows you how to do this. As an alternative you can also configure Windows 10 Focus Assist (Do Not Disturb Mode) and set quiet hours.

Stephen Tierney, from Locks Heath, spent five years practising daily with former World Champion Stephen Hendry and was doubles partner to four-time World Champion John Higgins.

Now hes channelling his energy into something entirely different and he is making his mark with his Portsmouth-based firm Mindcell Sales Training

I started playing snooker at the age of four, said Stephen.

Read More

Snooker was my obsession. I turned professional and mixed it with the very best in the world.

In my snooker career I had seen how the very elite professionals thought and operated.

I became hugely interested in what set them above the rest and so I studied and qualified as a sports psychologist and decided to apply my skills to sales training.

Stephen said that becoming an elite salesperson is similar to becoming an elite sportsperson.

The 46-year-old said: I have developed a specific program called The Profitable Sales System. Its based on psychology, emotional intelligence and trust-based consultative selling.

I help change the sales peoples current thinking and focus which is so important during this pandemic, coach the new acquired sales skills, then inspire and motivate them to get elite performance. Its how great coaches work.

And he said the world of sport had lots of practical lessons to teach business.

Stephen, who is originally from Glasgow, said: I took a truck worker who was working on the tools for Macs Trucks Ltd and wanted to get into sales.

He had great product knowledge from working on the tools but had never sold anything in his life before, so we were starting at ground zero.

I spent three days with him setting up and training everything from the fundamentals of selling, frameworks, phone work, face to face, persuasion, influencing and closing the deal.

After the three days onsite I worked with him for three months through online coaching. The result was, he became the top seller in month two and sold over 844,000 worth of truck sales in his first three months.

I worked with one chap in telecoms and in the first five months of the lockdown he closed over 600,000 worth of contract business.

As well as being a sports psychologist, Stephen also draws on his qualifications of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), executive coaching and hypnosis practitioner.

The married dad-of-three said: The mind is extremely powerful. Sometimes it takes time to unlearn bad habits.

Our training programs are usually six to 12 months because single training days simply dont work.

Firms that want to have elite performers on board understand that this investment leads to huge increases in sales and is well worth it.

This closure applies to remote learning as well and will be counted as a snow day.

However, teachers will allow for full credit for late work.

Original, posted Feb. 12 at 2:29 p.m.

Due to potentially icy road conditions, all Humble ISD employees and middle and high school students will work and learn remotely Feb. 15, district officials announced Feb. 12.

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) is looking to set up an e-learning platform with participation from both government institutions and ed-tech startups to offer a wide range of online professional courses to students and mid-career professionals.

AICTE will also streamline e-learning options, delivery and regulations, in sync with the National Education Policy which seeks to adopt technology and offer flexibility in tertiary education. A formal announcement of the plans is expected to be made on Tuesday.

The regulator believes that the move will personalize learning models and prioritize them to meet the needs of every student. AICTE member secretary Rajeev Kumar said the use of technology in education is inevitable, reshaping the way people learn. AICTE members believe the move will be able to provide accurate education technology solutions directly to students and offer a huge choice of courses to suit their requirements, which will improve the overall learning outcome".

A government official, seeking anonymity, said an attempt was made in late 2019, but this time, the plans will be firmed up to provide a contemporary touch. The move follows the covid-led disruptions in education, which in turn made online-blended learning options more acceptable to the masses. The official mentioned above said some 25 ed-tech firms will be on board for the initiative.

The intention of the move is great and it brings private and government players in higher education space together. It also shows that the government is willing to capitalize the momentum gained post-covid outbreak. But we must promote this initiative and ask universities to join in," said Mayank Kumar, co-founder of upGrad, an ed-tech firm that is providing industry-linked and job-oriented courses in collaboration with several leading universities and institutions.

We have to bring students and institutions on board in large numbers and make the new platform more useful for credit transfer and driving flexibility," said Kumar, adding that upGrad is part of the initiative.

The Economist expands education offering with the launch of "Executive Education" - PRNewswire

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Long before the COVID-19 pandemic, the trend toward digital online learningin both education and businesswas growing at a steady pace. As the pandemic surged, tens of millions were forced to work from home and college classrooms were shuttered, and the trend turned to a tsunami, leaving many businesses completely unprepared for the new normal. Now both the present and the future of learning and work has moved online, and whole ecosystems must move to e-learning to survive. Demand has surged for customized and scalable online learning products in a single, easy-to-use format. This is the sweet spot for AmesiteInc. (NASDAQ: AMST)(Profile), an award-winning artificial intelligence (AI) software company that delivers online learning ecosystems for business, higher education and K-12. Amesite's product portfolio is complemented by a robust suite of services that help partners implement new programs and improve existing ones. Most recently, Amesite introduced Manage, a creative new functionality that enables schools and businesses to efficiently build and customize new courses, or onboard existing ones, at their own pace. In September, Amesite completed its initial public offering, joining peers such as 2U Inc. (NASDAQ: TWOU), Stride Inc. (NYSE: LRN), Chegg Inc. (NYSE: CHGG) and Pluralsight Inc. (NASDAQ: PS) that strive to improve learning environments with their technology and services.

Recognizing the Need, Providing the Solution

Business and education have historically been conducted in person and offline, in offices and in classrooms. That dynamic has certainly changed. Among other things, 2020 taught the world that many interactions can be efficiently and effectively accomplished in a virtual format. One of the biggest impediments to more rapid uptake is that workforces are unprepared to learn online. Sure, Zoom and other communication platforms serve a purpose, but these aren't the type of comprehensive platforms that will properly shepherd in the next generation of educating people in a process that is easily accessible, affordable and engaging.

To achieve education transformation, technology must be able to easily address both new and legacy programs. Gone are the days of "one size fits all" video cassette sessions or, even worse, wasting money on printed material to provide information. People simply don't learn, retain or have the opportunity to excel under those moribund modalities. Furthermore, there's a necessity today to be able to teach a multiplicity of individual complexities such as safety and compliance Issues or new skills in data management delivered digitally and customizable in a single ecosystem with the ability to track and enhance efficacy.

Easing into the Digital Age

AmesiteInc. (NASDAQ: AMST)was founded for the exact purpose of overcoming these challenges and bring businesses, schools and universities easily into the digital age. Dedicated to improving the way the world learns, passion and technology drive Amesite, with the whole team committed to ensuring that education is accessible to all. Not just accessible, Amesite is intent on making education better, making teacher's jobs easier and encouraging engagement, which is when the best learning transpires. Considering that COVID-19 caused the loss of between 500 million and 1 billionschool years worldwide, the value of Amesite's platform becomes obvious.

Online education will almost certainly co-exist with traditional in-class learning even on the other side of the pandemic. "Online learning has the potential to transform all of education, and online tools are crucial for supporting all kinds of learning," stated Amesite CEO Ann Marie Sastry. "Online offers flexibility, engagement and customization for students. Most importantly it's often the only practical way that professionals can upskill. So it's absolutely essential that the best technology be deployed, to support growth for individuals and for enterprises."

Tech Teaches

Amesite builds and delivers unique artificial-intelligence software products designed to improve learning across any industry or educational discipline. For business, AMST provides a single, easy-to-use platform for compliance and training that increases productivity and up-to-date certifications. Amesite couples this success with best-in-class analytics to analyze trends with 24/7 dashboards and autogenerated daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports. With Amesite, businesses may gain invaluable insights that go beyond teaching and training employees. They can track employee progress and obtain insight on course corrections that work, break down analytics at multiple levels, and make data-based decisions while teaching employees with actionable, real-time analytics.

In K-12 education, Amesite's technology and focus on the user experience help solve the key challenges in K-12 learning. Stale, outdated interface design and complicated multiclick platforms can be boring and confusing for students and teachers. Amesite's social-media-inspired interface attracts and engages students. Updated content keeps education fresh and engaging, allowing instructors and students to interact with each other using upvotes and endorsements. The platform also delivers first-class communication tools with built-in video conferencing and messaging functionality and intuitive interface design.

In addition, AMST offers AI-driven, out-of-the-box scalable solutions for higher education. Universities and other higher education facilities can reduce training times often to zero minutes with intuitive interface design and transition effortlessly with full vendor support from Amesite. Amesite provides custom-branded turnkey programs on a cutting-edge learning platform.

Amesite provides universities, businesses and K-12 schools with essential tools to launch the products they need to upskill students and staff in whatever the core curriculum may be in a key trend, and it does so in a way that learning can go on at anytime, anywhere.

Empowering Learning

Amesite continues to demonstrate product excellence in creating and launching courses and programs tailored to its partners across diverse sectors. The company's new Manage feature now allows organizations to develop, establish and administer as many courses as they wish all in one place and on the same system. Manage is a category maker that empowers learning and development teams to launch with a solution for the whole company rather than a single course covering one topic or an unfamiliar new platform for existing materials. In fact, the ease of use may be unprecedented. Customers can create offerings using a "build-as-you-go, drop-and-drag" format, taking full advantage of the flexibility to customize and build as time allows. Plus, the AMST system's architecture allows for easy management as well as tracking new and existing programs without leaving the program.

Amesite's technology and passion support critical workforce goals such as high engagement, low turnover and high loyalty. It's not a tremendous surprise that AMST products deliver a remarkably high retention rate. The retention rate is an astounding 98% across all its enterprise, higher education and K-12 programs.

Amesite offers the passion, products and service that wins and keeps customers, while making a positive impact on communities worldwide.

The New Age Is Here

There was a growing movement towards digital learning long before anyone had even thought about a COVID-19 pandemic. As it unfolded, a seismic shift occurred for education and businesses to stay operational, a dramatic transition that quite possibly reshaped culture forever and certainly changed the way the world learns. A new sector seems to have developed around the new normal in education.

2U Inc. (NASDAQ: TWOU)operates under a mission to eliminate the back row in higher education, building, delivering and supporting more than 475 digital educational offerings, including undergraduate and graduate degrees, professional certificates, Trilogy-powered boot camps and GetSmarter short courses. This month, the company partneredwith the Institute for Management Development, a Swiss-based academic institution with global reach created by business executives for business executives, to expand online programs.

Stride Inc. (NYSE: LRN)is active in philanthropies with a mission centered on reimagining learning as a lifelong and deeply personal experience. The company provides innovative, high-quality, tech-enabled education solutions, curriculum and programs directly to students, schools, the military, and enterprises in primary, secondary and postsecondary settings. The company has learners in all 50 U.S. states and more than 100 countries. COVID was a boon for business, with revenue during the third quarter surging 46% year over year to reach $376.1 million.

Chegg Inc.(NYSE: CHGG)operates under the mantra of "A Smarter Way to Student(R)," striving to improve educational outcome by putting the student first. The company came into the national spotlight more than a decade ago when it acquired "Shark Tank" participant Notehall, an online marketplace where students can buy and sell class notes, ultimately incorporating it into the Chegg Homework Help site. In general, Chegg's business is all about supporting students through high school to college and into careers by helping them succeed in classes through services available online 24/7/365. Like Stride, Chegg caught investors' attention with a jump in revenue during the coronavirus economy, which resulted in raising 2021 guidance.

Pluralsight Inc.'s (NASDAQ: PS)Skills unithelps enterprises build technology skills at scale with expert-authored courses on today's most important technologies including cloud, artificial intelligence and machine learning, data science, and security among others. The Skills product also include tools to align skill development with business objectives, virtual instructor-led training, hands-on labs, skill assessments and one-of-a-kind analytics. Flow complements Skills by providing engineering teams with actionable data and visibility into workflow patterns to accelerate the delivery of products and services.

Common threads run through what these companies, which are leaders in the new normal education sector, are doing. Technology is imperative to provide individuals, institutions and businesses the tools that they need to teach or learn on demand. As Amesite's Sastry indicated, digital education isn't going anywhere when the pandemic is a thing of the past. In fact, it is probably only going to become even more mainstream.
