Mind Mapping tool     Challenge :   I ’m a member of an association that organizes educational courses in the areas of Technology ,   Sustainability , Entrepreneurship . I experienced a great application of the Mind Mapping tool when   me and my peers were working on a new educational course .    Some time ago we wanted to organize a new course for digital skills but we had not decided the   topic and the structure of it .    Also , the internet is plenty of thousands courses for Technology and Digital competences people   can afford easily , so it was very hard to produce something creative , useful and economic .   The challenge consisted in producing an attractive course in the Digital area for recently graduates   and young professionals , which could spread some technical knowledge and could let them to   extend their network meeting people with same interests and passions .     Selection :   For our purpose we used the Mind Mapping tool .    In design thinking , this tool is used at the end of What Is phase , to process the large amount of data   collected and look for patters and insights among them . Through Mind Mapping you can establish   criteria for the idea generation step , which is explored during the What If phase .    Mind Mapping is pivotal because it provides guidelines for the idea generation , that becomes cleaner   and faster . In the book Designing for growth , the process is well explained and it becomes clear that   Mind Mapping is not used to design , while it ’s useful to design criteria , on which the ideas will be   based .     Application & Insight :   We launched a survey to our network asking basically questions on : 

 -   Why they should choose a face - to - face course instead of online ones 

 -   What they did and did not appreciate about online courses 

 -   How is the best way to learn ( through game experiences , face - to - face lessons , practical   sessions ) 

 -   Which topic they preferred and what level of knowledge they had 

 -   What they did expect from our course 

 -   Etc . 

 The data collected were analyzed through the Mapping Tool in this way .   We found three macro categories among the answers : 

 1 . Object of the course   2 . Modality and structure of the course   3 . Other interests / passions of the users 

 The tool was useful to visualize all the categories , to address the answers and to find the   communalities in order to list the major trends / requirements , and the minor ones .     Finally , we discovered the following main patterns : 

 -   The majority of users had not specific knowledge on the newest digital competences   ( blockchain , machine learning , data analysis , etc ) but had strong interest in these topics and   wanted to learn some basics . 

 -   Due to the complexity of the topics , users would prefer a dynamical course , with many case   studies , new learning techniques , enjoyable environment . 

 -   Online courses are boring , you do n’t have the opportunity to ask questions directly . 

 -   Users would take the opportunity to expand their network , to share their passions with people   with different background 

 These and other insights were very useful to understand the needs of our network and it was a   crucial point for the idea generation phase . Mainly , this tool allowed us to focus our attention , in the   next phase , just on ideas that matched those macro - patterns . It allowed us to save a lot of time .        Approach   The potential of the tool is incredible indeed for the reasons explained above , even if it requires a   well - structured data gathering , that is very difficult and time / cost consuming , especially when you   are a small organization .    Also , if the data collection is not done in the right way ( there is an important knowledge on how to   gather information and tools to use ) , the Mind Mapping could get you into wrong patters , destabilizing   the whole process .   The point is , I found it not so flexible , because it is actually based on the database you collected .   This is good when you face problems with many available data . While during innovation processes   with low quantity of data , I think it ’s better to not limit so much the ideas generation with the output   guidelines of the Mind Mapping , and move on to the next phase ( What If ) .

### Task: You are a PII (Personal Identity Information) Detection. Given a essays written by students, you have to identify ONLY the following:
NAME_STUDENT - The full or partial name of a student that is not necessarily the author of the essay. This excludes instructors, authors, and other person names.
EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
