Using Community Heuristics for Crowdsourcing Platforms Interface EvaluatioMathew_Ryan
Crowdsourcing is growing rapidly in both industry and academia, introducing new ways of conducting work and improving our understanding of how to utilize the potential of crowds. Related research has emphasized on how to improve crowdsourcing platforms and related practices to foster collaboration, motivation, trust, quality and creativity. However these challenges don’t seem to be as apparent in vibrant online communities. Research in how to make online communities work provides insights in how to address the challenges crowdsourcing is facing right now

The OLnet project has developed a software tool for effectively gathering, sharing and judging the evidence around key issues of OER. The Evidence Hub distills key insights from the cloud of discussion and opinion creating a thematically indexed, structured ecosystem of organisations, project, issues, recommendations and evidence for the use of those who form the Open Education movement.

Attitude towards Using Internet among B.Ed., Students in Thanjavur Districtijtsrd
The Internet is a storehouse of knowledge. General Knowledge is an essential part of education. The Internet is the best means for acquiring know how. The students can learn very interesting things by accessing the internet. The access to Internet is very useful for the students to develop their innovation capability in their subject and knowledge of the world. The Internet can give us a clear idea of the current events of the country and the world. The Internet also brings out the plans and policies of the corporations and the government. The Internet is the best medium of advertisement concerning business, trade and industry in all over the world. V. Vijayalakshmi | Dr. R.

Abstract
The importance of social media for companies has been stressed by many researchers. Many
researchers have also discussed the differences and similarities between product and service. These
two things can be seen as the starting point of this research, which looked for differences and
similarities in multi-channeling and the use of social media by companies from both typologies.
Drawing on a sample of 384 randomly chosen companies, the results demonstrated that there is a
significant difference in the use of social media between the two typologies. We recommend the use
of social media tools and discuss why it can be of great value for both typologies.
1 Introduction
“Do you already like us on Facebook?” and “Are you following us on Twitter?” are questions
people encounter daily while browsing the internet, reading the newspaper, or watching television.
Many research papers have stressed the importance and value of social media for organizations
today (Wilson et al, 2011; Kaplan & Haenlein, 2010; Laroche et al, 2013; Lukes, 2010). The
importance of social media for companies is not only indicated by writing about the new possibilities
of social media, but also by identifying shifts in the use of existing concepts. Such a shift has
happened, for instance, with the term Willingness To Pay (WTP) which is commonly used term in
organizational and marketing literature. Instead of searching for the WTP, companies are now
searching for the Willingness to Participate (Parent et al, 2011). Goals concerning advertising,
organizing contests, distributing information, building communities etc. have been made easier for
companies by social media like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube.
Social media can both be internally and externally of significant importance for companies.
Internally, social media can play a role as social tool for knowledge sharing (Sultan, 2012). It is stated
in a research conducted by Cross et al (2001) that employees often prefer asking work-related advice
informally to colleagues rather than looking up information in a system. Externally, Social Media can
contribute very well to the Customer Relationship Management(CRM) activities of a company. With.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
