8 Ways a Digital Media Platform is More Powerful than “Marketing”New Rainmaker
You may have heard that “media not marketing” is the future of online business … but what does that actually mean, what can it look like?
As you’ll see in this SlideShare, examples of a media-first approach done very well are all around us, it only takes a simple shift in thinking to see them.
Can this "media not marketing" approach to building an audience have an actual effect on the bottom line revenue of your business, or is it just more philosophical wordplay?

Emotional Data: hipsters, human beings and mapping of taste dataTara Hunt
As personal expression grows through social web tools, we are seeing the true diversity and complexity of human beings. However, most recommendation engines and marketing tools are stuck in mass market mentality. ‘People who bought this, also bought this’ just doesn’t quite cut it anymore.
Fortunately, a field of evolutionary psychology that starts to explain the signals of personal expression is picking up steam. Taste Signaling explains the type of signals that people are practically screaming out to the world through posting to social networks. Could this be the key that maps data to our emotional selves and could unlock the future of truly personalizing our web experiences? Come find out what the Big Five Indicators are and how data can be emotional, too.

Practical Connection Assignment
At UC, it is a priority that students are provided with strong educational programs and courses that allow them to be servant-leaders in their disciplines and communities, linking research with practice and knowledge with ethical decision-making. This assignment is a written assignment where students will demonstrate how this course research has connected and put into practice within their own career.
Assignment:
Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study.
Requirements:
Provide a 500 word (or 2 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.
Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.
Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course.
Demonstrate a connection to your current work environment. If you are not employed, demonstrate a connection to your desired work environment.
You should NOT, provide an overview of the assignments assigned in the course. The assignment asks that you reflect how the knowledge and skills obtained through meeting course objectives were applied or could be applied in the workplace.
The Cult You’re In
by Kalle Lasn
A beeping truck, backing up in the alley, jolts you out of a scary dream-a mad midnight
chase through a supermarket, ending with a savage beating at the hands of the Keebler elves.
You sit up in a cold sweat, heart slamming in your chest. It was only a nightmare. Slowly, you
reintegrate, remembering who and where you arc. In your bcd, in your little apartment, in the
very town you grew up in.
It's a "This Is Your Life" moment-a time for mulling and stock-taking. You are still here.
Just a few miles from the place you had your first kiss, got your first job (drive-through window
at Wendy's), bought your first car ('73 Ford Torino), went nuts with the Wild Turkey on prom
night and pulled that all-nighter at Kinko's, photocopying transcripts to send to the big schools
back East.
Those big dreams of youth didn't quite pan out. You didn't get into Harvard, didn't get
courted by the Bulls, didn't land a recording contract with EMI (or anyone else), didn't make a
mi1lion by age twenty-five. And so you scaled down your hopes of embarrassing riches to
reasonable expectations of adequate comfort-the modest condo downtown, the Visa card, the
Braun shaver, the one good Armani suit.
Even this more modest star proved out of reach. The slate college you graduated from left

Part four explores 16 popular writing genres and provides an original example of each. Four of these illustrations are first-time attempts by this writer to compose a script in a foreign discipline that is outside his comfort zone and areas of interest. May these modest, raw offerings embolden you to likewise experiment at becoming a complete writer.
The penultimate chapter, Part five, explores six topics that may aid writers to answer the holy grail writer’s question, as defined by this author. These topics in order are: Spelling, scripts, styles, solo writing, champions (i.e., role models) and circulation.
This book does not aim to teach readers how to develop most technical skills required of competent writers. Open-access and commercial literature available on these topics are mature. Engaging these topics are best served by a medley of resources such as handbooks, video presentations, college curricula and years of dedicated writing practice.

Premise
Every once in a blue moon, we may be lucky to engage a person who shares a simple,
memorable idea that guides us positively for life. A June afternoon in Sydney, Australia
2008 is an exemplary example of such rare encounters.
“Got the day off from work today have ya?” I said to our building’s newest
resident with a warm smile in the underground garbage depot. It was the first time that
we had crossed paths within speaking distance since he moved in a few weeks prior.
I rarely accost unknown people for casual banter nowadays. Maybe it’s me, but I
often receive a subtle frown, silence, a stony-faced vague reply, or a combination thereof.
“Nah, buddy” the stranger replied with a more generous grin. “I work-from-home
and write best sellers” he said.
It was refreshing to receive a positive energy reply, even a showoff one like this. I
could tell from his instant mega smile that this neighbor is a people lover – an extrovert.
Mister mid-40s in flannelette pajamas proudly produced a check out of his shabby
once white bathrobe pocket and flashed it before my face. “I just got this $25,000 advance
today from my publisher for my next bestseller” he boasted shamelessly.
A modest man I thought. I intuitively liked him less than I did five seconds prior.
“Cool” I replied. “What sort of books do you write?” I asked as we walked in synch
towards the elevator.
“Detective crime stories and that sorta stuff” he said.
“I admire fiction book writers” I replied earnestly as we entered the elevator. Must
be a lot harder than just writing short academic articles like I do” I said.
“Academic hey”, he said, eyebrows raised as he made intimate eye-to-eye
contact for the first time. “I’m studying English Lit at Sydney and would love to pick
your brains for ideas sometime soon” he said.
“Yeh, let’s meet up over drinks and swap notes” I said.
“Definitely. How about the Bank Bar?” he answered.
“Great choice” I said as my neighbor fumbled his keys in Apartment 501’s keyhole.
“How about today after lunch at 3?” he asked.
“Sure, see you in the garden bar at three” I said as I walked towards my door, 506.
Recognitions
The lives and accomplishments of individuals and entities can be acknowledged and
celebrated in public domains in several ways. Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) is
an example of a famed institution that no longer exists since 1991. RIP Pan Am.
Obituaries and eulogies are popular written formats that celebrate the lives of people who
have passed. The 408 words article overleaf titled ‘Motown Chic’ is a tribute to the late
Nina Simone. The word ‘tribute’ may convey a less morbid connotation than alternatives
such as In Memoriam. Public tributes may honor the living and those who have passed.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

49. ….can stop bad presentations from

Editor's Notes
We could easily spend 3 hours here talking about presentations: we could talk about avoiding text, about creating graphics, proper image placement and use…but we don’t have 3 hours, we have 30 minutes. So, instead, I’m going to start with the foundation of the presentation (your information) and then move on to some very simple color theory, text use, and font choices. We’ll also talk about images and where to find them, as well as two other presentation options besides powerpoint.
Before we can get into the part where we make your presentation look nice, we need to talk about the foundation: the information you’re presenting, and how you’re presenting it.
Before we begin thinking about our content, we should begin by thinking about our audience.
http://blogs.haverford.edu/haverblog/2013/12/12/being-a-haverford-house-fellow/
Contrary to what you’re probably thinking, the first thing you should consider is your audience. What do they know? What do they need to know? Are you presenting to peers? Advisors?
Consider the atmosphere and level of understanding in the room.
When a knowledge gap is present, try to view your presentation as a teaching moment. This will help you frame your content in a context that everyone in your audience can understand.
Start thinking about the material that you need or want to present. If you’re presenting a paper, then most of this has already been done, and your presentation will be a summary of your paper.
Make sure you’re summarizing your paper, or report if it’s already written. You’re not writing another report within your presentation. If you’re having trouble doing this, take a look at the background information in your abstract.
CITE YOU SOURCES.
Caption your figures and tables, and do it correctly.
This is one time when your audience should be reading the screen- make your captions descriptive, and make sure your graphics are easy to decipher.
Use bright and bold colors carefully. Limit them to accents, and avoid using colors like red, yellow, and orange as backgrounds.
Use bright and bold colors carefully. Limit them to accents, and avoid using colors like red, yellow, and orange as backgrounds. Do you really want to stare at this color for the next 15 minutes?
Using a bright, bold color in a gradient lets you keep the color, but doesn’t hurt your audience’s eyes.
The rule of 4 by 5: four bullet points with five words each.
The rule of 33: no more than 33 words per slide.
This is why powerpoint gets such a bad rap: too many words. Sometimes you’ll need to include a lot of text. If your rubric requires that you explicitly detail your entire methodology, DO THAT! It’s ok! Do what the assignment asks! But, if you can avoid it, don’t put your entire script onto your slides. It’s ok to have notes, or note cards, but your slides should not be your crutch. They should not be your script. You shouldn’t need to look at the screen every few seconds to see what you should say next.
You need to find a good balance between text, speaking, and images. Viewers shouldn’t feel like they have to take time to read your slides in order to understand your presentation.
Don’t use low quality photos.
Don’t overuse animations, and don’t use word art. If it looks cheesy, it is.
If you Google “bad presentation examples,” you will literally find thousands of bad examples, so much more than what I could cover here. Cheesy, bad, terrible, presentations.
