Emerging technologies refer to new technologies, especially those being adopted for educational use, such as wikis, blogs, and social networking sites. These technologies are characterized as being participatory, networked, two-way, interactive, flexible, and potentially experiential or mobile. While emerging technologies generate hype about improving education, their impact remains uncertain as technologies and ideas go through cycles of adoption and use. Both opportunities and challenges are presented by these diverse technologies and abundance of online content and participants. For learning, emerging technologies allow learning to extend beyond the classroom and for learners to have more control, through exploring, networking, participating, and reflecting on their experiences using blogs or other personal online spaces.
This document discusses various collaborative tools for learning, including social media platforms, blogging, microblogging, networking, and wikis. It explores how these tools can be used to form personal learning networks and notes both opportunities and challenges to using these tools for teaching and learning. While these technologies provide many abilities to create, comment on, and tag content, educators are advised to thoughtfully consider how to leverage these tools to recognize students' control over their own learning outside the classroom.
The document discusses an MSD investigation into a complaint. It states that the complaint was closed with no further action taken. The complainant was informed of the closure in writing.
Mr. Rakesh Sharma joined Modern Industries Ltd. as a trainee after graduating with a degree in paint technology. He performed well initially but later developed a negative attitude after his request to end training early was denied. His behavior deteriorated and he became difficult to work with. As a result, he was no longer considered suitable for placement in the paints department upon completing training. The Training Manager now faces a dilemma over whether to terminate Mr. Sharma or consider alternative options.
