2 cultural issues in communication
Cultural, gender, and political differences can impact communication effectiveness. Language, customs, time zones, and ongoing disputes must be considered to avoid offense and build understanding between parties. Effective communication requires awareness of audiences and adapting style to respect various cultures, such as using less aggressive language with Japanese business partners or considering gender roles in decision making.
LM Report Final V2.0 5-11-2011 JS CTH
This report proposes using information technology solutions to address African food security issues, using Ethiopia as a pilot site. It identifies eight key areas where GPS and other technologies could help: climate change adaptation; agricultural inputs; famine detection; micro-insurance; pastoral/land management; environmental conservation; disaster detection/response; and overall food security. The report conducted interviews and research in Ethiopia to identify opportunities, such as creating a shared data platform to integrate disparate datasets across organizations working in these areas. This could help promote food security, drought response, and sustainable practices. The report concludes there is potential to expand technology uses beyond crisis prediction to proactively improve Ethiopian food security, with lessons applicable globally.

Innovating Africa - Technology solutions for African challenges
Africa is experiencing strong economic growth and the rise of a large middle class. Over the next decade, Africa will likely contribute more to global growth than developed economies. Innovative solutions leveraging renewable energy and mobile technology are powering this growth by addressing critical needs. Solar lamps and chargers are improving lives by providing lighting and power while reducing costs, health issues, and emissions. Mobile networks are expanding access to the internet, financial services, healthcare, and more across Africa as data and mobile services surpass voice. This positions Africa for further prosperity and economic development driven by its growing consumer base and new technologies.

Technology Consumption and Cultural Dysfunction
I was a guest speaker for the University of Toronto / Sheridan College Web Culture and Design program in March 2015. My presentation looks at web design through the lens of this new web culture and proposes that technology consumption has a direct impact on culture. The hypothesis is that consumption, especially among youth, tweens and teens has created a cultural dysfunction. As a guest speaker for the Web Culture and Design classes, my intention was to provide new insights that will challenge their existing design paradigms and foster new ways of thinking and approaching design.

Sport nelle forze armate e di polizia
Lo sport ha da sempre avuto una stretta relazione con il mondo militare, si può dire che è una rappresentazione dell’“arte della guerra”. Se si intende l’aggressività come componente antropologica ineliminabile, non si può negare che lo sport è nella sua forma attuale un campo di battaglia sostanzialmente pacifico, dove l’uomo può esprimere la sua voglia di primeggiare sull’altro.
Se fin dall’antichità il rapporto era fondamentalmente di utilizzo da parte dei militari della pratica sportiva come un allenamento o una riproposizione mascherata della battaglia e della vittoria, una volta che lo sport a partire dal secondo dopoguerra ha assunto una sua caratterizzazione come fenomeno a sé stante con le sue regole e i suoi valori, è stato esso stesso ad usufruire delle istituzioni militari per ottenerne supporto e sostegno, economico ed organizzativo. Questo è avvenuto nei Paesi del blocco sovietico in chiave ideologica, ancora legata ad un’idea bellicosa dello sport, ma anche in chiave soprattutto utilitaristica in Italia, con un sistema che negli anni è andato rafforzandosi sempre più.
Puntualmente ad ogni edizione dei Giochi Olimpici si aprono le polemiche sugli atleti italiani appartenenti ai diversi gruppi sportivi militari, stipendiati dallo Stato e quindi a carico dei cittadini, che appare un’ulteriore spesa pubblica. Nonostante le vittorie sportive e le medaglie olimpiche, che rappresentano la maggior parte di quelle conquistate dalla delegazione italiana, possono appagare un senso di orgoglio nazionale, c’è sempre un serpeggiante malcontento pensando ad atleti a tutti gli effetti soldati ed agenti, ma esonerati dal mestiere ovvero pagati per svolgere l’attività sportiva professionale a tempo pieno. Il sistema è divenuto indispensabile per lo sport italiano di vertice, in quanto i grandi gruppi polisportivi militari sono gli unici, salvo alcune eccezioni, a garantire un sostegno pieno e di livello assoluto per permettere ai migliori atleti di primeggiare nelle grandi manifestazioni internazionali.
Il seguente lavoro si distinguerà in tre parti. Nella prima verrà messo in luce come la nascita delle pratiche sportive sia strettamente legata l’attività della guerra, e l’utilizzo in chiave di educazione militare e ideologica dello sport nel corso della storia. Nella seconda parte verrà analizzato il sistema del sostegno pubblico italiano dello sport di alto livello tramite i Gruppi sportivi delle Forze Armate (Esercito, Marna, Aeronautica, Carabinieri) e di Polizia (Guardia di Finanza, Polizia di Stato, Polizia Penitenziaria, Guardia Forestale e Vigili del Fuoco) dal punto di vista organizzativo e legislativo. Nella terza ed ultima parte verranno posti in esame i diversi modelli del sostegno militare di tre potenze sportive europee come Francia, Germania e Russia.
Technology as a Cultural Practice
How do you design a mobile money service for people in rural Uganda who’ve never had a bank account?
How do you test the usability of a mobile phone’s address book for users in rural India who’ve never had an address… yet alone an analog address book?
As cheap PCs and inexpensive mobile phones flood the global market, usability and user experience professionals will encounter more and more questions like these. Questions that challenge not only our research tools and methodologies, but our fundamental assumptions about how people engage with technology.
In this keynote, Rachel will share her thoughts on the challenges and opportunities the current cultural watershed will present to our industry as well as the metamorphosis our field must undergo in order to create great experience across different cultures.
Technological Determinism
This lecture looks at Determinism and Technological Determinism. This lecture is part of the Media and Cultural Theories module on the MSc and MA in Creative Technology and Creative Games at The University of Salford.
Mediated discussion: culture & technology
Slidedeck for a conversation that was part of a full day educational workshop on the intersection of technology and culture.
Impact Of Technology In Our Culture
The document discusses the impact of technology on modern culture and human life. It outlines how technology has become intertwined with daily life and examines both the positive and negative effects. Some benefits highlighted are faster communication, transportation, and information sharing, while some risks mentioned are increased health issues, addiction to devices, and the development of more lethal weapons. The document concludes by stating that technology should serve humanity rather than humanity becoming subservient to technology.
Page Plans
The document outlines how to create page plans for a product. Page plans provide creators with detailed information about what needs to appear on each page so they know how to design the product without prior knowledge. The plans should include titles for each main page and sub-pages to guide production.
Delivery formats
There are several formats for delivering interactive content including websites, CDs/DVDs, information kiosks, interactive TV, and apps for mobile devices. Each format has benefits and limitations in terms of accessibility, ability to update content, features that can be included, and data limitations. Websites allow global accessibility but must work across browsers and devices and consider data limitations. CDs/DVDs allow portability but not easy updating. Kiosks cannot link to external sites or easily update. Interactive TV requires regular updates and may include links and HD video. Mobile apps must be optimized for small screens and allow convenient updates with only essential information.
Production process
The document outlines the production process for creating a digital product which includes receiving a brief from the client, brainstorming ideas and discussing them with the client, planning the product including design, storyboards, and asset details, acquiring and collecting necessary assets like text, images, and videos, developing the product using the chosen software while carefully organizing files, thoroughly testing all aspects of the product, and finally evaluating if the finished product meets the client's needs and is of suitable quality.
Sources
This document provides instructions on recording sources for a project. It advises to set up a sources table in Word and start collecting various media like images, videos, animations, text and sounds to include in the final product. The sources should be properly documented in the table.
Curriculum virtae
Laura Smith's curriculum vitae provides information about her education history, skills, work experience, and hobbies. She attended English Martyrs School from 2007-2012 where she achieved high marks, and is currently studying history, English literature, law, and IT at English Martyrs Sixth Form College. Her work experience includes basic administration and customer service skills from an internship at Hartlepool Central Library in 2011. She enjoys playing sports like tennis and badminton as well as reading in her free time.
Questioningv2
The document discusses different types of questions: open questions, closed questions, probing questions, and leading questions. Open questions allow for wordy answers to understand feelings and opinions. Closed questions require brief factual answers to control conversations. Probing questions are used to clarify answers and explore topics in more depth. Leading questions aim to persuade the responder to agree with the questioner's point of view through assumptions and phrasing that imply a single correct answer.
2 questioning techniques v1
This document discusses different questioning techniques that can be used in various situations. It describes open questions, which allow for lengthy answers and different perspectives; closed questions, which elicit short responses and help analyze responses from groups; probing questions, which ask people to expand on their original answers; leading questions, which influence the way people answer through assumptions; and rhetorical questions, which are asked for effect rather than expecting an actual response.
Principles and barriers
The document outlines several key principles for effective communication, including listening actively, making eye contact, speaking enthusiastically, asking questions, and being aware of body language. It also discusses potential barriers to communication such as language differences, overuse of jargon, irrelevant topics, differing viewpoints, cultural differences, noise interference, and emotional barriers like prejudice. Some ways to overcome these barriers include clarifying any misunderstandings, using simpler language, keeping discussions relevant, finding common goals, adapting to different cultures, and setting up meetings in quiet locations.
P4 showing ideas for the website
The document provides instructions for students to produce mockups of the layout and design of the main pages for a social media site, including a home page and members information page. Students should carefully plan the layout, include all necessary features, and either draw the mockups by hand or create them digitally, describing the intended color scheme. The mockups will be evaluated on imaginative ideas and visual appeal.
P4 ideas for a social media site
The document outlines ideas for developing a new social media site, including defining the site's purpose from sharing information with friends to uploading content, identifying the intended audience such as a particular age group or those with special interests, and producing a detailed written plan covering the site's purpose, audience, features, and color scheme and style.
P1 social media products
The document discusses analyzing existing social media products. It lists common social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. It describes typical features of social media like sharing information and communicating with friends. It discusses different types of social media like blogs, photo sharing, and video. The document outlines audiences for social media like professionals, photographers, and interest groups. It also discusses advertising methods and legal/ethical issues to consider like privacy, bullying, and intellectual property. The task is to research and describe the purpose, content, users, revenue sources, and legal issues for three different social networking websites.
P3 commercial uses of social media sites
This document discusses the commercial uses of social media websites. It describes pay per click advertising where advertisers pay each time an ad is clicked. It also discusses banner ads where payment occurs when an advertiser's website is visited. Additionally, it covers impression advertising where payment happens each time a page with an ad is accessed. The document also explains how viral marketing uses social media to promote products through shared videos and games. Finally, it tasks the reader with describing advertising, viral marketing, and product reviews on specific social media sites.
