This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. 00;00;28;21 - 00;00;57;26 Speaker 2 Welcome to Oracle Academy Textured, where we discuss how Oracle Academy prepares this next generation's workforce. I'm your host. Sajeel Shahzad In this episode, I'm joined by Lorilyn Owens, director, innovation Programs and Member Services. We speak about the new Oracle Academy community platform, what it is, and how Oracle Academy members, faculty and ambassadors can use it. 00;00;57;28 - 00;01;00;13 Speaker 2 Welcome, Lorilyn. 00;01;00;16 - 00;01;02;05 Speaker 3 It's nice to see you. 00;01;02;07 - 00;01;15;00 Speaker 2 It's fantastic to have you here as we kick off this exciting chapter of Oracle Academy. Can you give me a bit about your background and your role at Oracle? 00;01;15;02 - 00;01;45;23 Speaker 3 Sure. Thank you for having me, Sajeel. So in my role as director of Oracle Academy Innovation Programs and Member Services, I oversee many of the programs and services that help our faculty members innovate in their teaching and get the most out of their membership. Our team is responsible for curating Oracle Academy program benefits, promoting member success, deepening member engagement, and supporting members throughout their membership lifecycle. 00;01;45;25 - 00;02;18;10 Speaker 3 One of the favorite things that we get to do is to share our member success stories. I'm passionate about empowering educators and students to thrive in this ever evolving tech landscape. I love seeing how innovative teaching and collaboration can truly transform learning experiences and help students gain real world skills. Gosh, I spent over the last 25 years working at the intersection of technology and education. 00;02;18;12 - 00;02;54;08 Speaker 3 Whether that's developing and rolling out new learning initiatives or supporting faculty communities globally. But before joining Oracle Academy, I worked in human resources. I've worked in Oracle Consulting and also in Oracle support. All of that taught me the value of collaboration, connection, community building and helping the next generation of learners be ready. One of my treasured memories is from a few years ago, when we published a video celebrating the 25th anniversary of Oracle Academy. 00;02;54;10 - 00;03;31;09 Speaker 3 We've been around for almost 30 years now, but when we celebrated the 25th, I just loved seeing faculty members from different countries share their Oracle Academy stories in their own words. That was special. It really brought home the global impact we could have when we work together. I am just constantly inspired by the dedication and creativity I see in our Oracle Academy members, and I'm always eager to learn from their experiences and support their work in any way that I can. 00;03;31;11 - 00;03;41;25 Speaker 2 Starting to start? What is the Oracle Academy community and what makes it distinct from other forms of communications? 00;03;41;27 - 00;04;13;04 Speaker 3 The Oracle Academy community is really special because it's not just another online forum or email list. It's a dedicated space where Oracle Academy faculty and ambassadors can connect, collaborate, and share ideas. It's tailored specifically for those who teach with Oracle Technologies. So the conversations are relevant and everyone understands the unique challenges and opportunities our educators face in the classroom. 00;04;13;07 - 00;04;42;27 Speaker 3 So, unlike more general platforms, everything here is focused on helping educators grow and support each other with resources and advice they can use. It's a curated, secure environment where participants can discuss best practices, get support, and collaborate on projects with peers who share a passion for helping to advance student technology, education and skills. 00;04;43;00 - 00;04;56;09 Speaker 2 Interesting up. Could you describe the unique ...

This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. 00;00;28;22 - 00;00;46;13 Welcome back to Oracle Academy Tech Chat, where we discuss how Oracle Academy is helping prepare the next generation's workforce. This episode is part two of Transforming Database Operations MCP server and OCI generative AI in action. 00;00;46;16 - 00;01;02;05 So here is the code which we have built it. And I'll start my server. Okay. So first thing is like we can just do list all the databases. 00;01;02;07 - 00;01;28;22 So you can see like how many databases we have. So here are all the databases which we help you see. Database 123. Okay. And we can see what are the prompts. So let's say the first prompt I am using. Connect me to the database and list user tables. Okay. So I'll just go ahead. 00;01;28;25 - 00;01;42;24 Connect me to the I will connect to the first database and list all the user tables. 00;01;42;26 - 00;02;03;17 And meanwhile it does it operation. I'll also show like how you can build your own resources. So you see here I am using this open AI. If I wanted to use I can use this okay. Okay. So these are the things and these are the databases connections which I have used. So basically consist of the resources grants and the tools. 00;02;03;18 - 00;02;26;27 So this is some thing you can think like a resource. This will just turn to you okay. These are the resources which I am using it. And then I was also talking like a you can build your own provider. So I have been like OCI provider. This is my OCI provider. Similarly I have built open a provider. Here is my opening a provider. 00;02;26;29 - 00;02;50;28 And when you build your own provider you can also build like as I said MCP server consists of the prompt state prompt also tool and resources resources. I already shown these are the prompts. If you see here you are an expert Oracle DB which has this access for database operation. Perform these operations. So these are the prompt which you have to provide okay. 00;02;51;00 - 00;03;11;18 And there are certain means. There are the tools which we have already discussed. I will show us in the code. And that tool you can invoke. So yeah. So here you can see I have like within the prompt only I have added these tools stuff. Use this for SQL query to use this for this connection for list like that. 00;03;11;21 - 00;03;35;21 So if you see here I give the prompt connect me to the PUC database and list all the users tables. What it basically does it it basically with the first option it does it it basically connects me to the database automatically. Then it runs this again. It gets the response. It sees that response, and then it runs the query. 00;03;35;24 - 00;04;06;05 And you can see for the user table. So first it does the connection. Second it does the user query to get the response. So if you can see there are two operations which it performs after getting the response it performs another one operation. So total two task has been performed. Successful two okay. So yeah. So here you can see now I will just go to the next prompt list user table. 00;04;06;05 - 00;04;32;24 We already shown you. Now I just run this one list user table list transition event skills in separate tables. So if anyone has to build their own MCP server by using our good, I'll be sharing this code. This is available in the GitHub ...

Without further ado, I turn you over to Pankaj Tiwari. 00;01;55;12 - 00;02;23;25 Hi, my name is Pankaj and I'm part of Rakel Cloud Action Development team. I'm here to talk about, like, The topic is transformation of database operations using Amqp seven OCI identity in action. So. And I will not delay further I'll just move ahead with the next slide before starting directly to the like, going directly to the topic, I just wanted to know, like, I mean, maybe there are people who may not be, knowing about, like, what is MCB? 00;02;23;27 - 00;02;43;24 So I'll just give a small brief. Like, what is MCP? So MCP is nothing, as anybody might be aware. It is like a model context protocol. So model is something like the NLM, Gemini Cloud. Whatever the model you wanted to use the context, the context which we provide to the model and the protocol, whether it's Http, IO or Http. 00;02;44;00 - 00;03;10;17 So these are the things to which the combination is MCP. So what it basically does it it basically offers a documented standardized way for a computer program to integrate from external sources. What I can just say is like, you might be building some, cloud services, you might be building some of the stuff in the real time applications, and there are customers who are going to use your services, right, that you can see. 00;03;10;17 - 00;03;36;14 Right? They are customers. And you wanted to like those people wanted to use your services, how they can use it so they can use it as well as some public API. Why some tools? So that is where I'm coming here as a part of like external source through which you can integrate it. It also supports as integrate. So it integrated like when you see a normal you put a normal prompt, you get a response that's any a stuff. 00;03;36;14 - 00;03;58;24 Right. But once you get the response and over the top of the response, you ...

  • Bringing the Cloud to You: Security and Control with Exadata
    Dec 16 2025
    In this episode, we'll talk about Security and Control with Exadata We'll explore how organizations can benefit from cloud innovation while keeping full control over their data — a critical challenge in today's digital world. ---------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:44:19 Unknown Welcome to the Oracle Academy Tech Chat. This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Welcome to Oracle Academy Tech Chat, where we discuss how Oracle Academy prepares next generation workforce. I'm your host, Alba Joven, and today I am joined by Sylvia Adrdilo an Exadata Cloud customer Service Specialist at Oracle. 00:00:44:21 - 00:01:11:21 Unknown In this episode we will talk about bringing the cloud to you. Security and control with Exadata. We will explore how organizations can benefit from cloud innovation while keeping full control over the data. A critical challenge is to date digital work. So let's get started. To start off, Sylvia, I would love you to share a bit about your background and your current role at Oracle. 00:01:11:22 - 00:01:47:10 Unknown Absolutely. And first of all, thank you so much for having me here. It's, it's absolutely a pleasure. So my journey started with my graduated as a telecommunications engineer from the University of Malaga in Spain in 2014, and after I finish my studies, I jumped straight into the IT world. And it's been over ten years now. So early on I worked on several companies like IBM and U next and Indra, and during those years I mainly worked as a backend developer in several technologies. 00:01:47:12 - 00:02:16:08 Unknown And I have to say that it was a great foundation because you really get to understand how systems talk to each other behind the scenes, which later became super valuable. And after that, I moved into a more operational role. I was a support lead for UCS as Smart Metering Implementation Program, or MIP in Accenture, and as me was at the time, and still is actually a massive national project to modernize how energy usage is tracked across the country. 00:02:16:10 - 00:02:45:03 Unknown And in that role, I supported everything from from manufacturing the smart meters to getting them delivered to warehouses, activating their SIM cards, installing them in homes, and even managing the returns under the activation processes. It was it was a lot about ensuring that that such a massive operation run smoothly, run securely. I was solving incidents quickly, but but also you had to make sure that they were solved correctly. 00:02:45:05 - 00:03:08:21 Unknown So that millions of people were affected. And that really taught me how critical operation, security and resilience are when you're dealing with important data, national infrastructure. And then in in 2021, I joined Oracle as a cloud systems solution engineer. And in that role I started working much closer with customers. I was involved in the pre-sales side of the deals. 00:03:08:23 - 00:03:36:19 Unknown I was doing technical presentations, workshops. I was learning about all kinds of different Oracle technologies. Oracle's hardware portfolio, and also about data center setups and and the needs from different industries. And then last year, in 2024, I moved to my current role as an Excel Data Cloud customer specialist. And in this role I continue supporting our sales team from from a technical standpoint, during the pre-sales process. 00:03:36:22 - 00:04:06:21 Unknown But now I'm more focused or solely focused on Exadata Cloud customer. So basically I help customers and I help internal teams understand what Exadata Cloud Customer is, how it fits into their IT strategy, and especially how it can meet their security and operational needs. So I deliver workshops, I answer technical questions, I join customer meetings, create documentation, and also help train our internal teams so that everyone stays sharp on the technology. 00:04:06:23 - 00:04:32:18 Unknown So to summarize, my my whole career has been about understanding technology deeply and then helping people use it safely and effectively. So now let's talk about a crucial topic that is data security. Can you explain what data security is and why it's so important in today's world? Think of data security like the lock and the alarm system of your home. 00:04:32:20 - 00:05:10:17 Unknown So you keep your doors locked. Maybe you have cameras, sensors, alarms, whatever. All because what's inside your house is valuable and personal. Now, in the digital world, your data, whether it's research papers, personal information or medical records, business transactions and so on is just as valuable, if not more. So data security is the set of practices and technologies that we use to protect that digital...

  • Tips and tricks for better usage of Oracle Academy teaching resources – guideline from practical experience, with special focus on solutions for frequent challenges
    Dec 9 2025
    In this podcast, Dusa Vukovic, Principal of the Grammar School for Computer Science, Oracle Academy Teacher and Oracle Academy Instructor speaks from her experience using Oracle Academy materials in the classroom, as well as an instructor for Oracle Academy. She speaks about practical things teachers will discover while using Oracle Academy curriculum in their classrooms. ------------------------------------------ Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:37:04 Unknown Welcome to the Oracle Academy Tech Chat. This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Welcome to Oracle Academy Tech Chat, where we discuss how Oracle Academy helps prepare the next generation's workforce. 00:00:37:06 - 00:01:10:06 Unknown I'm your host, Ljiljana Krkić. Oracle Academy program manager. In this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Dawsonville College principal of the Grammar School for Computer Science. Oracle Academy teacher and Oracle Academy instructor. She will speak about her experience using Oracle Academy materials in her classroom with her students, as well as an instructor for Oracle Academy. She will speak about practical things teachers will discover while using Oracle Academy curriculum in their classrooms. 00:01:10:08 - 00:01:37:02 Unknown Hi, Dusa. Welcome. Could you please tell us a little bit about your background and your current role? Hello. And also coach, I'm the principal of the grammar school for computer science. It's a school with a especially demanding curriculum designed for students talented in computer science. I have more than 20 years of experience in teaching programing in database topics. 00:01:37:04 - 00:02:06:17 Unknown I'm also author of the several textbook, on computer science since 2010. I have been an instructor for teacher courses within the Oracle Academy program, leading training sessions in Serbia, Montenegro, Turkey, Austria and the Czech Republic. This is really impressive. And could you please describe in more details your early experience with Oracle Academy, and what led you to become an Oracle Academy member as a teacher? 00:02:06:17 - 00:02:36:23 Unknown I'm aware that, especially in the past, but even today, education often provides a lot of theoretical knowledge without giving students a clear sense of how it's applied in the real world. When I first heard about the Oracle Academy program, I immediately thought, this must be different. Oracle is known for its excellent software solutions. So I assumed that their courses would be packed with real world examples and content that could be applied immediately. 00:02:37:01 - 00:03:04:22 Unknown Online courses and training are now a standard part of daily life. Back in 2007, when I took my first Oracle Academy course, very few people had ever experienced online training. Many couldn't imagine what it's like. The online portion of the training back then was nothing like we have today. It involved live chat sessions with only occasional image, and the internet connection was dial up. 00:03:05:00 - 00:03:30:01 Unknown I still remember the sound of the modern screechy as it connected to the landline. It's so funny to think now about the landline. Most people don't even use today. For me, it was an incredibly experience that back in 2007, I was able to follow from my home and online course with instructor Pat Hays was teaching from her office in the United States. 00:03:30:03 - 00:03:56:11 Unknown It really showed me how Oracle was not just keeping up with technological advancements, but actively applying them. That experience inspired me to be a part of that kind of innovation. I wanted to offer my students the opportunity to stay on the cutting edge of technology, learning skills that could be immediately applied in real world scenarios. Yeah, these were really very specific times. 00:03:56:17 - 00:04:23:22 Unknown And tell us, what were some of the key challenges you experienced and how did you overcome them? This is an excellent question. One of the biggest challenges when working with students is capturing their interest and keeping their attention. Many people myself included, agree that this issue is even more pronounced today, largely because kids are surrounded by technology and endless distractions on the internet. 00:04:24:00 - 00:04:52:21 Unknown However, the question of attention and engagement is an essential part of the teaching and learning process. When students are engaged, then focus. The results are always better. They don't just learn a single lesson. It's not about that. It's about developing a desire to keep learning and discovering new things throughout their lives. The Oracle Academy materials play a significant role in sparking students interest and keeping them engaged. 00:04:52:22 - 00:...

If I'm open for me to be here with you and to share my knowledge in Oracle Apex and the Oracle technology in general, because I'm very, enthusiast of these environments. 00:01:34:01 - 00:02:37:17 Unknown And I try to explain why. My name is Roberto. I'm, I'm an engineer, and, I've been working in, in I.T for about 30 years. I started, focusing in databases or relational databases and, application development that many years ago for multi utility companies, also in, service sectors company. At the moment I work with mainly exclusively in apex project because they're a when I found the apex about 15 years ago, I thought that it was the, the only take for developing application in, in my career and the, in the the following of this podcast, I try to explain, explain why I also collaborators, 00:02:37:19 - 00:03:14:13 Unknown as a trainer and the also a consultant with companies and also education institution. So, I'm, I'd like to explain to student mainly to student and school because I think that at the moment the there is the need of this kind of, example of code of, the middle word technology, because, Oracle technology is suitable for company and also for educational institutions. 00:03:14:15 - 00:03:48:01 Unknown Thank you, Roberto, for that. And what is apex and what are the benefits of using Apex? Okay. In the apex is the, so-called low code development platform. Why low code look on? Because it the code at the moment is, mainly. And the hype word because the when you say low code, do you want to say that everybody can develop, quick and dirty applications. 00:03:48:03 - 00:04:30:01 Unknown And if you want, the apex can also do that. You can, develop in about an hour a very simple application. But the, the secret is that is also low code application. So it's suitable for business user, for student, for junior developers and also for enterprise applications or grades of housing because the technology that is below apex, that is the Oracle database is an enterprise platform. 00:04:30:01 - 00:05:16:07 Unknown So every company can leverage of database and the, the, low code, the environment, the to develop to develop application. So the secret is that, if you know, languages, if, you know, business problem, apex can without writing, single frontend code, the frontend means all the code that you have to write to create the web application that that usually it's not simple for also, for all the, old style, developers, apex do it for you. 00:05:16:07 - 00:05:51:11 Unknown So you can have to write frontend code. Also business code that you know that also or developers can do in they career and they don't know, web application because they are doing another job with apex. You can develop it quickly. Business application. So why is this the world's most popular low code application platform? I think for, for several reasons. 00:05:51:11 - 00:06:24:12 Unknown First of all, apex is included inside the, he tried the the Oracle database license, if you haven't to pay for apex because, apex is the database. Oracle is an extension of the database Oracle. So if you have a database, you data but you have to pay nothing to have Apex.
