BSHS 352 Week 1 Summary
352/BSHS-352-Week-1-Summary

Some people believe that taking online college classes are an easy
way out; in losing the interpersonal aspect of the face to face
teaching environment, classes are more watered-down. As online
students at UoP, you know differently. Some would say there is a
mirroring of the process for human services professionals; many
workers believe unless there is face to face involvement, the
relationship is watered down. Yet if we were to honestly ask our
clients about the impact of seeing us, say for one hour a week vs.
having access to us in "real time" through technology (IMs, chat
rooms, etc.) we might find that at times, we are the only ones who
believe the face to face experience is better.
Think of the ways in which you have worked to make the online
college experiencemore beneficialto you. Using the readingsand the
preparation for your assignments this week, explain how you might
use the techniques you use for school in your most recent human
services experience, or if you do not have a recent experience,
discuss how you would interact with a client in a homeless family
shelter using the technology we have available. As your experience
allows, think outside the traditional views and develop a way to
embrace the technology we have.

Think back to when you first started using computers; for some of you that was
when you were in elementary school, for others of us, computers were not part of
the mainstream until after graduate school! Some of you probably fall in between.
Regardless, we learned about technical terms in various methods along the way.
Look at the following list of terms related to computers and technology. Please
choose 5 of the terms below; answer the questions that are asked as if you were
explaining it to one of your clients who either does not own a computer, has
never used one, or if s/he has, s/he doesn't really don't know how it works.
 What is RAM & ROM? Which designates the amount of space available in
the memory of your computer’s CPU?
 What does the term "megs" stand for?
 What is a CD-ROM? What is now replacing the CD-ROM as a storage
medium and why?
 What are newsgroups? How do you find them? Examples?
 Operating systems -- What do they do? Examples?
 Internet and Web Browsers – What is a web browser? Examples? What is
uploading and downloading? What are crawlers or spiders? What is a
bookmark?
 What is a domain?
 HTML?
 Netiquette – What is shouting? What is flaming?
 Viruses – What is a virus? How do you protect yourself from a virus? What
do you do if you get a virus?
 Search engines – What can you do with them? How do they work?
Examples? What is a wildcard?
 Utilities – What is a back up?

 What is encryption?
 Email – What is a filter? How do you use address books? How do you use
attachments? How do you create a signature?
 Newsgroups – What are they? How to use?
 Mailing Lists/LISTSERV – How do they differ from newsgroups?

Presentation on Web-Based Software for
Human Services
352/BSHS-352-Week-2-Learning-Team-
Presentation-on-Web-Based-Software-for-
Human-Services
Explain what are some of the functional areas of a human services
organization.You can discover what these areas are by researching
them on the Internet or in the University Library.
Examples of functional areas include:
· Client services
· Operations

· Finance
· Human Resources
· Marketing
· Administration and IT Support
Explore web-based software for one of the functional areas you
researched.
Review two to three web-basedprograms that address the functional
area you have chosen.
Describe the software you chose to apply within the functional area.
Summarize in 1,050 - 1,400 words the following:
· Explain how the software could enhance a functional area
within a human service organization.
· How would you utilize the software within the functional area
you chose?
· Describe the advantages/disadvantages (if any) of using the
software.
· Explain if the size of the organization helps determine the
software package chosen. Why or why not?
· Provide 2-3 other issues related to choosing human services
software packages and explain how they affect your choice of
software.

1. What non-electronic databases (such as lists, calendars, phone directories,
address books) do you use regularly?
2. What electronic databases do you use?
3. How have you seen these applications used in your organization? Give
examples.
Word processing
Presentation
SpreadSheet
Database

Think of a brief cohort of people that you would want to create a database for.
Come up with the fields and data that you would need in order to get the best
information for your study design. Give your best hypothesis of what you think
you would find out. I'm not looking for a detailed study, but I am looking for you
to have the understanding of some type of study design.
For example, perhaps you wanted to study women between the ages of 18-35 and
their attendance at a gym, and the corresponding effect on their mood, before
and after their workout. You would collect: Name, age, marital status, children or
not, working or not, time of day, date of workout, smoker or not. I would have the
women fill out a 5 point rating scale, rating from 1-5 (with 5 being the highest) the
mood they were in. Compare it to before and after.
Then for my hypothesis - According to data that I have read, I would expect that
the moods would be better after the workout. I would expect that married women
had better moods regardless, I would expect that those who worked out earlier in
the day would have better moods in general. I would be excited to see if mothers
fared better or not, whether working outside the home increased mood, and
whether smokers had slightly worse moods, with their nicotine use.

Describe some examples where your clients may have hit barriers in the system
and how you have helped your client(s) navigate through those barriers. If you do
not have human services examples, then use times at other jobs, or while you
were volunteering, in school, etc. Please cite at least two times where you have
intervened, and explain your thought process in how you helped to navigate that
change.

Have you known people that have used pirated software? What is the justification
for doing so? What are the ethical implications of using pirated software?
