Team Project Guidelines
Objective
This capstone course concludes with a research Team Project that starts during the first week and continues throughout the duration of the class. It culminates with the submission of a formal team report and an oral presentation by each team during Week 7, and Peer Reviews in Week 8.
Each team will identify and explore an emerging technology. This will be a technology that may already exist, but is drawing attention because of new applications, anticipated impacts or potential controversies. Examples could include:
· nanotechnology in manufacturing,
· genetically modified organisms,
· remote/robotic surgery, or
· wireless electricity.
The team will explore the technical, social, cultural, moral and ethical issues presented by the technology.
Guidelines:
Teams
All teams will be assigned at the start of the first week. The first deliverable is due on the Sunday of Week 1, so students must get organized and into the project immediately. Each team will select a Team Leader, who will be responsible for the coordination of the research and the submission of assignments. Team members will remain on the assigned team throughout the duration of the class (in the project world, project managers seldom have the opportunity to select their own team members!). It is highly recommended that each team develop its own Team Contract to clearly define expectations, strategies, and timelines.
Emphasis is placed on both individual contributions and the final product of teams. You will communicate with your team through team meetings (online) and team discussion threads. Team members who fail to participate in an assignment will not get points for that assignment.
With those parts of the Team Project where a group grade will be assigned, all team members must submit a copy of the team’s work. When an assignment is completed, the Team Leader will distribute the finished product to all team members, and each team member must submit this copy to the Dropbox,
The Task
The primary focus of the team is to research and assess the issues associated with a specific emerging technology. The team will produce a formal research paper in APA format, with each team member contributing 10 pages of text. The paper will provide the basis for a 20-minute team presentation.
The following Required Elements must be researched and included in the final project. What follows is a list only, and is in no way an outline:
· A brief description of the technology and an explanation of the associated science
· The historical development and context of the technology
· Political and legal influences
· Economic questions and considerations
· Psychological considerations and sociological effects
· The technology in its cultural context, media influence
· Implications for the environment

SUMMARYThe Internet was first created out of the needs to commu.docxmattinsonjanel
SUMMARY:
The Internet was first created out of the needs to communicate over long distance by the United States government. It became a disruptive technology that changed the world’s landscape and brought about the information age and globalization. At first, the internet was connected by coaxial wire that can travel long distance. Today, most advance countries citizens enjoy wireless Internet in their own home. Our team will examine the wireless internet and its effects on our society.
THESIS:
The Wireless Internet was first used in corporate organizations, but now covers entire neighborhoods with uninterrupted networks. The wireless internets quickly become a major innovation, along with other electronic devices, which has significantly reduced the time it takes to perform mundane tasks. Everywhere you go people are using wireless internet. Whatever you think about the advancement in technology, wireless internet has changed our lives in a positive way. We believe wireless internet is ingrained in every aspect of our lives from political, economic, cultural context to psychological and sociological matters.

Pedagogical objectives of a simulation game in marketing/ business education
Simulation games in marketing and business education are important as they help in presenting events that occur in real time in the form of a game. Some of the objectives of simulation games are training, to help in predictions and for analysis. Simulation games in marketing enable company’s to change various factors that can affect the penetration of a product to determine the impact it will have on the company sales (In Riis, 2005). They are important in teaching business as they help learners to improve their business skills. It enables to test various scenarios in business sectors such as finance, management, human resources and organizational behavior. These are in various forms such as board games and computer generated simulations. By using simulations, one is prepared for any eventuality that might arise in the course of the business. Learners will know the right strategy and planning that should be used while making business decisions. In marketing, simulations can be used to create an imaginary business environment and then various decisions can be made. Some of the important decisions that can be experimented are on advertising, price, targets and production, all of which are crucial business decisions. An executive or a learner will input their choice, and the simulation will offer feedback. Usually, the game involves a series of interactive steps.
The company’s simulation game objective
Silver Tech produces two brands of voice recognition devices, Core Talk and Core Talk 2. The company can make use of simulation games to help in evaluating which advertising option is most feasible for the two products or and the price level for each of the products. Silver Tech may be wondering whether to set the same price for the two voice recognition devices or to have different prices. The simulation will give the company the opportunity to estimate the demand for the products based on different price levels. Additionally, it will assist in making decisions on the marketing and advertising approach that should be adopted by the organization.
Based on the above factors, simulations will provide Silver Tech can present a financial analysis of the two products. As such, the financial information will provide a platform for the organization to make budgets and financial forecasts (Mayer & Mastik, 2007). It will also know how to allocate the various resources within the two products to maximize the profits of the organization.

Ecotopia Project Guidelines
The Ecotopia Project consists of two phases, (I) a group presentation, and (II) an individual research
paper.
I. Group Presentation
In the group presentation, students will collaborate to create an ecologically-sustainable society. The instructor
will randomly place students into groups named after the six major biomes:
1. Temperate Deciduous Forest
2. Temperate Grassland
3. Northern Coniferous Forest
4. Tropical Rain Forest
5. Tropical Grassland
6. Tundra
Each group will create a PowerPoint presentation to be shared with the class. Groups should think of a
creative name for their society (for example “Green Paradise”). Each participant should prepare at least two
slides for each responsibility (“secretariat/cabinet position”) in their portfolio (group of cabinet responsibilities).
Each group should begin their presentation with a brief description of their biome. The presentation should
include some collaborative slides that explain overall themes and ideas, in addition to the slides created by
each member to cover their particular cabinet responsibilities. The presentation should also include
introductory and concluding slides.
Individual group members will be responsible for several aspects of creating their sustainable society within
the biome—their portfolio. (For the second part of the project, each individual will write a research paper on
their portfolio of responsibilities.) Since everything in nature and the environment is connected to everything
else, each individual will need to coordinate and negotiate the details of how the entire sustainable society will
be created. For example, the geography, ecology, and weather conditions of the biome will determine which
sustainable forms of renewable energy should be used in that society. The type of energy used will determine
waste and ecological protections necessary. For example, if you use nuclear energy, then you will have to
figure out how to deal with radioactive waste for tens of thousands of years! Moreover, your agricultural,
fishery, and livestock decisions will impact your land use planning, waste recycling, food supply, and ocean
ecosystem health, and your policies regarding global climate change will impact environmental security.
Ecotopia cabinet positions (responsibilities): Students are responsible for their portfolios and coordinating
with other members of their teams to make sustainable decisions in their biome. There will be overlapping
responsibilities and concerns. You can form ad hoc task forces to negotiate sustainable solutions.
Equally divide up the following cabinet positions into portfolios. Each student will have several cabinet
positions in their portfolios. Negotiate within your group for your choices of positions. All cabinet positions must
be filled:
1. Secretary of Sustainable Energy
2. Recycling Czar (waste, toxic waste, nuclear waste, environmental hazards) ...

Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper.
The landscape of higher education is constantly changing to respond to internal and external factors such as shifting demographics, federal and state government
regulations, state funding, educational system changes, and costs. These factors produce both planned and unplanned changes in the higher education
organization, which, in turn, impact students, employees, and organizational health. To be effective leaders, higher education administrators must be astute in
recognizing, naming, planning for, and responding to these changes that impact the sociotechnical, structural, and cultural systems of university organizations.
For the final project, you will create a research paper on a contemporary national issue addressing the current shifts and changing role of higher education in the
twenty-first century. You will analyze the historical and current impact of the issue and associated trend on higher education institutions, using empirical data to
illustrate how and why the trend impacts higher education institutions now and in the future. You will conclude your research paper by reflecting on the impact
of the issue on your personal educational and professional experiences and pursuits.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Six. The final submission will be due in Module Nine.

SOC 320 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a position paper to illustrate the position of a social advocacy group on a gender-related issue. You will assume
the role of a researcher for a social advocacy group that focuses on issues related to gender. You will assume that your manager has tasked you with writing a
position paper that clearly articulates the group’s stance on a given gender-related issue in an attempt to justify the ultimate goal of the social advocacy group.
You will select an issue from the options provided or submit your own issue for instructor approval. You will then analyze the issue through the incorporation of
evidence and the application of sociological theory.
You are encouraged to choose your own topic to address in the position paper and will be guided through this process in the early modules of the course. Some
gender-related issues to you might consider focusing on in this project include the following:
• Fraternity hazing
• Equal pay for women
• Allowing children to transition to their self-identified gender
• Adoption rights for same-sex couples *******************
• Gender-neutral bathrooms in the workplace
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to provide you opportunities to conduct research and
work on elements of your paper. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final product will be submitted in Module Seven.
In the position paper, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
• Analyze views of gender from a historical perspective for their impact on today’s societies and individuals
• Challenge current stereotypes of various gender expressions using evidence from observations and other resources
• Determine how reactions to expressions of gender and gender identity have evolved over time supported by sociological theory
• Communicate results of analyses on gender issues adhering to ethical requirements and other best practices regarding sociological research
2
Prompt
For your position paper, you will represent the position of your social advocacy group on a specific issue related to gender and support that position through the
application of sociological theory and evidence. Your position will challenge preconceived notions around this issue by investigating its history and how it has
evolved over time. The goal of this paper is to promote awareness around your chosen issue and encourage support for your social advocacy group.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction: In this section, you will introduce your audience to the gender issue you have chosen. You will develop a statement that establishes your
position on your chosen issue. Be sure to employ appropriate ethical considerations and best practice.
Technology and Project Management (MGMT7020)Assignment 1 Speci.docxbradburgess22840
Technology and Project Management (MGMT7020)
Assignment 1 Specification: Technology Topic Paper
Context for this Assignment:
The Technology module assesses your ability to apply the EBM approach to understanding information technology systems and their management. The course learning outcomes for this module are all addressed by both assignments and the exam, with different emphases.
Assignment 1, completed individually, focuses on the earlier parts of EBM. Its objective is to show that you understand general technology principles by applying them to a specific topic, critically researching the literature on that topic and presenting a coherent multi-faceted analysis of it. Assignment 2, completed in a team with other students, focusses on the later parts of EBM. Its objective is to demonstrate the application of your technology understanding to evaluate a specific case study. You should work on both assignments in parallel as they are mutually supportive.
The assessment items have been designed to allow you to acquire and use the concepts in the course as a way to better understand your world and to act in it in a more knowledgeable and responsible manner.
The Assignment:
The Technology Topic Paper will present your individual examination of a current topic in information systems and technology. The paper will be well grounded in the concepts discussed in the Technology module and in the academic literature. The paper will use the Kangaroo Island case study to demonstrate the practical impact of the topic. Each member of your team for Assignment 2 will examine a different topic for Assignment 1. The technology topics are:
Cyber Security
Artificial Intelligence
Data Science
Internet of Things
Drone Technology
Other topic approved by the lecturer
Assessment Schedule:
Your paper will be presented in 2 parts,
Outline Due: Friday 9 August at 23:55 (week 3) for quick feedback, ungraded
Paper Due: Friday 23 August at 23:55 (week 5)
Return:Two week after submission (depending on student numbers).
Weight:25% of the total grade.
Size:The paper will be around 2500 words excluding references & appendices.
Approach to Assignment:
At the start of the module you will not have the knowledge and skills you need to understand, far less do, the assignment! Don't be concerned about that. As we cover the lecture topics week by week you will be able to build your assignment step by step. After each week's class you should use the knowledge you have just gained to do some research and writing on assignment 1.
Your friends and colleagues are a great source of discussion - BUT - they are not experts and are not likely to have much more knowledge than you do! So, best to check with people who know...
1. use the appropriate discussion forum on Wattle to start a discussion - others will have similar issues and the lecturer can make useful comments to the whole class.
2. contact the lecturer - in class, in consulting hours or by email.

SOC 320 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a position paper to illustrate the position of a social advocacy group on a gender-related issue. You will assume
the role of a researcher for a social advocacy group that focuses on issues related to gender. You will assume that your manager has tasked you with writing a
position paper that clearly articulates the group’s stance on a given gender-related issue in an attempt to justify the ultimate goal of the social advocacy group.
You will select an issue from the options provided or submit your own issue for instructor approval. You will then analyze the issue through the incorporation of
evidence and the application of sociological theory.
You are encouraged to choose your own topic to address in the position paper and will be guided through this process in the early modules of the course. Some
gender-related issues to you might consider focusing on in this project include the following:
• Fraternity hazing
• Equal pay for women
• Allowing children to transition to their self-identified gender
• Adoption rights for same-sex couples *******************
• Gender-neutral bathrooms in the workplace
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to provide you opportunities to conduct research and
work on elements of your paper. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final product will be submitted in Module Seven.
In the position paper, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
• Analyze views of gender from a historical perspective for their impact on today’s societies and individuals
• Challenge current stereotypes of various gender expressions using evidence from observations and other resources
• Determine how reactions to expressions of gender and gender identity have evolved over time supported by sociological theory
• Communicate results of analyses on gender issues adhering to ethical requirements and other best practices regarding sociological research
2
Prompt
For your position paper, you will represent the position of your social advocacy group on a specific issue related to gender and support that position through the
application of sociological theory and evidence. Your position will challenge preconceived notions around this issue by investigating its history and how it has
evolved over time. The goal of this paper is to promote awareness around your chosen issue and encourage support for your social advocacy group.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction: In this section, you will introduce your audience to the gender issue you have chosen. You will develop a statement that establishes your
position on your chosen issue. Be sure to employ appropriate ethical considerations and best practice.
Technology and Project Management (MGMT7020)Assignment 1 Speci.docxbradburgess22840
Technology and Project Management (MGMT7020)
Assignment 1 Specification: Technology Topic Paper
Context for this Assignment:
The Technology module assesses your ability to apply the EBM approach to understanding information technology systems and their management. The course learning outcomes for this module are all addressed by both assignments and the exam, with different emphases.
Assignment 1, completed individually, focuses on the earlier parts of EBM. Its objective is to show that you understand general technology principles by applying them to a specific topic, critically researching the literature on that topic and presenting a coherent multi-faceted analysis of it. Assignment 2, completed in a team with other students, focusses on the later parts of EBM. Its objective is to demonstrate the application of your technology understanding to evaluate a specific case study. You should work on both assignments in parallel as they are mutually supportive.
The assessment items have been designed to allow you to acquire and use the concepts in the course as a way to better understand your world and to act in it in a more knowledgeable and responsible manner.
The Assignment:
The Technology Topic Paper will present your individual examination of a current topic in information systems and technology. The paper will be well grounded in the concepts discussed in the Technology module and in the academic literature. The paper will use the Kangaroo Island case study to demonstrate the practical impact of the topic. Each member of your team for Assignment 2 will examine a different topic for Assignment 1. The technology topics are:
Cyber Security
Artificial Intelligence
Data Science
Internet of Things
Drone Technology
Other topic approved by the lecturer
Assessment Schedule:
Your paper will be presented in 2 parts,
Outline Due: Friday 9 August at 23:55 (week 3) for quick feedback, ungraded
Paper Due: Friday 23 August at 23:55 (week 5)
Return:Two week after submission (depending on student numbers).
Weight:25% of the total grade.
Size:The paper will be around 2500 words excluding references & appendices.
Approach to Assignment:
At the start of the module you will not have the knowledge and skills you need to understand, far less do, the assignment! Don't be concerned about that. As we cover the lecture topics week by week you will be able to build your assignment step by step. After each week's class you should use the knowledge you have just gained to do some research and writing on assignment 1.
Your friends and colleagues are a great source of discussion - BUT - they are not experts and are not likely to have much more knowledge than you do! So, best to check with people who know...
1. use the appropriate discussion forum on Wattle to start a discussion - others will have similar issues and the lecturer can make useful comments to the whole class.
2. contact the lecturer - in class, in consulting hours or by email.

Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provokin.docxDIPESH30
Please submit a minimum of five (5) detailed and discussion-provoking questions based on the recent reading assignments, video clips and the other websites assigned.
Only complete questions will earn credit. Therefore, it is important for you to think carefully about formulating the kinds of questions intended to stimulate conversations. Ask detailed and specific, rather than broad, general questions. Do not ask, for example, ‘When was the first Mission established in California?’ Instead, ask something like ‘What is the ideological agenda behind maintaining figures like Father Junipero Serra as heroic in California textbooks?’
Other examples include:
Does recent news media coverage of the “riots” in Baltimore, Ferguson and other cities promote a message that is pro-police? If not, how does it engender understanding of the root causes of many of the frustrations of local residents?
In the film “Banned in Arizona,” why does Superintendent Tom Horne argue in favor of “individualism” and why does he say that the Mexican American Studies program encourages radical thinking? What, if anything, is radical about the way those courses teach students in Tucson, Arizona?
If the U.S. reinstated a Vietnam War era-like military draft instead of relying upon the current all-volunteer force, would current public support for war change at all? If so, how?
Please consider these guidelines in composing your questions:
1. Make certain to ask at least one question from each source.
2. Ask questions about things that interest you.
3. Write your questions as though you were asking them to the entire class.
4. Be sure to make specific reference to the readings in each question. Many good questions require at least two sentences.
5. Try and use the questions to critique the author's opinion.
6. These homework questions should attempt to raise larger issues and---when possible---to relate the readings to issues in our current world.
"This week, I want us to think about the concept of
bias
, and its application in the places we consume information. This is tricky territory because even the very presentation of this unit is fraught with bias—my personal bias, or frame of reference. I’m going to ask you to read a collection of articles that I think are important, but they all clearly have a perspective and an agenda that comes from a particular worldview. So let’s get that out in the open. Maybe nothing in your liberal arts education is free from bias, but that does not mean we shy away from considering the information, ideas, arguments and critiques.
What is bias? For the purposes of our consideration, bias is really just about a set of values that can color or distort fair judgment. We can sometimes recognize obvious bias in others, especially when people use overtly discriminatory or offensive language, or have a clear political or ideological perspective that makes everything they present go through that lens. But more than anything else, I want us to think a.

Tort Law Problem
Andrew Black is the owner of Confederation Mall (“Mall”) located in New Minas, Nova Scotia. Mr. Black leases out many retail spaces in the Mall to a wide range of businesses. He prides himself as a local success story. The people of New Minas truly admire his entrepreneurial success.
George Orange, owner of Guppy World, a pet fish store, has been a long-time tenant of Confederation Mall. Colin and Darren work for Mr. Orange. Colin was repairing a ceiling fan when he asked Darren to toss him a screwdriver, as Colin was up on a step-ladder at the time. Darren, standing 15 feet away, underhand tosses the screwdriver to Colin. Darren overshoots the toss and the screwdriver shatters a glass fish tank containing a piranha fish. At the same time a customer, Sally, was walking towards the check-out to purchase fish food, when she slipped on the water from the broken tank, fell to the floor and fractured her wrist. She is also bitten on the ankle by the piranha. When Mr. Orange tried to assist Sally, he smelled a strong smell of alcoholic beverage coming from her mouth. Colin noted that Sally appeared to be staggering slightly before falling.
Sally was transported to the hospital by paramedics. The doctor determines that Sally’s foot needs to be amputated due to the piranha bite and she needs to wear a cast on her wrist for 6-8 weeks due to the fracture.
Word of the piranha bite spreads like wild fire throughout the Mall. Evelyn, who suff.

THIS ISTHE CASE STUDY ATTACHED IS THE DIRECTIONS ON OW TO COMPLETE THE TASK.
Case Study Analysis
When it comes to planning events how many of us take the proper steps and put in the time and how many of us wait till the last minute to plan our event? What's the outcome of an event that has had the proper planning? Usually, a properly planned event is a huge success, and people leave-taking away information that will help them either improve, grow as a person or be successful at their job. People who try to plan events without taking the proper steps find themselves running into many problems along the way. Before they know it, they are out of time to fix any issues or problems that arise. Running out of time can lead to frustration, panic, and eventually the thought of “what am I going to do". Even though the steps to planning an event can be time-consuming, proper planning can ease frustration and anxiety, and lead to a successful event. Proper planning can eliminate the “What am I going to do” question.
Background
In the case study, Carl Robins did not plan for his event very well. He hired 15 new trainees and wanted to schedule a new hire orientation on June 15
th
. His goal was to have the new hires working by July. Carl had only been at his job for six months, and this was his first recruitment effort, so it is crucial for this event to work in Carl’s favor. Carl was contacted by Monica Carrolls, the soon to be Supervisor of the new hires, on May 15
th
. Monica was following up with Carl on how the planning for his orientation was going. She asked him about physicals, drug tests, the training schedule, orientation, manuals, and policy booklets. Carl told Monica that everything would be fine and ready to go in time for orientation. After Memorial Day, Carl finally decided to start planning for his event. Unfortunately; because Carl did not do any planning after hiring the fifteen new trainees and waited till the last minute to plan his event, he ran into multiple problems. When Carl finally decided to start planning for his event, he found that the training room where he was going to hold his orientation was booked for the whole month of June by a fellow associate named Joe. Joe was from technology services and needed the room for computer terminals. When he went to finalize the paperwork for his event, he found that some of the new hire trainees did not have completed transcripts or applications on file; nor had they gone to the clinic for their physicals and mandatory drug screenings. He then checked the orientation manuals and found that there were only three and that those three had missing pages. By now, Carl is very concerned, his anxiety is at a level high, and he is so frustrated that he sits with his head on his desk with the thought of “What am I going to do”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Team Project Guidelines
Objective
This capstone course concludes with a research Team Project
that starts during the first week and continues throughout the
duration of the class. It culminates with the submission of a
formal team report and an oral presentation by each team during
Week 7, and Peer Reviews in Week 8.
Each team will identify and explore an emerging technology.
This will be a technology that may already exist, but is drawing
attention because of new applications, anticipated impacts or
potential controversies. Examples could include:
· nanotechnology in manufacturing,
· genetically modified organisms,
· remote/robotic surgery, or
· wireless electricity.
The team will explore the technical, social, cultural, moral and
ethical issues presented by the technology.
Guidelines:
Teams
All teams will be assigned at the start of the first week. The
first deliverable is due on the Sunday of Week 1, so students
must get organized and into the project immediately. Each team
will select a Team Leader, who will be responsible for the
coordination of the research and the submission of assignments.
Team members will remain on the assigned team throughout the
duration of the class (in the project world, project managers
seldom have the opportunity to select their own team
members!). It is highly recommended that each team develop its
own Team Contract to clearly define expectations, strategies,
and timelines.
Emphasis is placed on both individual contributions and the
final product of teams. You will communicate with your team
through team meetings (online) and team discussion threads.
2. Team members who fail to participate in an assignment will not
get points for that assignment.
With those parts of the Team Project where a group grade will
be assigned, all team members must submit a copy of the team’s
work. When an assignment is completed, the Team Leader will
distribute the finished product to all team members, and each
team member must submit this copy to the Dropbox,
The Task
The primary focus of the team is to research and assess the
issues associated with a specific emerging technology. The team
will produce a formal research paper in APA format, with each
team member contributing 10 pages of text. The paper will
provide the basis for a 20-minute team presentation.
The following Required Elements must be researched and
included in the final project. What follows is a list only, and is
in no way an outline:
· A brief description of the technology and an explanation of the
associated science
· The historical development and context of the technology
· Political and legal influences
· Economic questions and considerations
· Psychological considerations and sociological effects
· The technology in its cultural context, media influence
· Implications for the environment
· Moral and ethical implications
To properly analyze the various elements of the project,
research will cut across disciplines and include academic,
scientific and industry sources. Complete project guidelines and
suggestions can be found in DocSharing.
Deliverables
All students submit the project individually, not just the Team
Leader. With respect to graded group work the Team Leader
must distribute the finished project to the team so that each
member may submit it individually to the dropbox. With respect
to individually graded segments of the project, each team
member is responsible for compiling his/her own assignment
3. and submitting it to the dropbox.
Rubrics: All rubrics for the Team Project can be found in
DocSharing.
Week 1:Research Topic and Outline (possible 50 points, group
grade)
Each team will select a topic for research and a Team Leader.
Using the list of required elements for the project, each member
of the team will take responsibility for researching specific
aspects of the technology. The team will then produce a detailed
outline for the project, noting each team member’s research
sections. Please note, the list of required elements is just that –
a list – and does not constitute an outline.
Thesis Statement:
Each outline assignment should begin with a thesis statement.
This thesis sentence presents the central idea of the paper. It
must always be a complete, grammatical sentence, specific and
brief, which expresses the point of view you are taking towards
the subject. (You will need to collaborate with your group on
the perspective of the thesis.) This thesis statement will be
included in the introduction of your final report and the opening
of your presentation.
Detailed Outline:
In the outline, each heading and subheading is given in single
words or brief phrases. To subdivide a heading into
subheadings, there must be at least two subsections. Use
numbers and letters to indicate the level of your headings, for
example:
I. Description of the Technology
a. Science that drove the technology
b. Applications of the technology
II. History of the Technology
a. A brief timeline
b. An analysis of social factors that drove the technology
Be consistent with your choice of phrases, making sure they are
4. grammatically parallel (where possible).
Each member of the team is to take responsibility for sections
of this report. Indicate the assigned sections by placing the
student’s name next to each section. When assigning the
research try and match up personal strengths or interests. Once
again, the required elements are:
· A brief description of the technology and an explanation of the
associated science
· The historical development and context of the technology
· Political and legal influences
· Economic questions and considerations
· Psychological considerations and sociological effects
· The technology in its cultural context, media influence
· Implications for the environment
· Moral and ethical implications
The finished assignment should be 2 – 3 pages in length, not
counting the title page. Although this assignment will result in a
group grade, each person is required to submit a copy to the
dropbox by the due date. The Team Leader will distribute the
finished product to each team member, whereupon each team
member will submit the same assignment to the dropbox.
Making the Connections for Your Team Research Project
If you have the following section, you might want to explore the
connections that comprise that discipline:
Pure Sciences: How does this technology work? Try to avoid the
“How Things Work” website as your resource for this portion of
the paper. Instead cite real scientists and fundamental scientific
laws (e.g. laws of gravitation, Boyle’s law, laws of
thermodynamics, etc.) underpinning the technology. Cite
technical manuals, using scientific explanations, but work to
express the scientific concepts in lay terms. Use physics,
chemistry, biosciences, mathematics, etc. Try to sound “nerdy”
5. but clear. If you need to provide a glossary at the end of your
paper, that’s okay.
History: Trace the major events along the path to where we are
today with the technology. You have to include a timeline as
part of your discussion or in the Appendix. You also have to
discuss in detail the most recent developments while trying to
give a macro perspective. What happened sequentially,
chronologically, and what led to the innovations that we see
today? Who were the major players? What issues presented
themselves as obstacles, and what were opportunities that
advanced the technology? What factors (economic, scientific,
etc) drove the technology. Tell us the story of how “blank”
came to be.
Political Causes/Effects: Look at government policy,
government intervention, government involvement (support or
lack of support, funding), both nationally and internationally.
Consider Congress, the President, the Supreme Court
(decisions), the rate of change, liberalism, conservatism,
legislation, litigation, etc. What political factors are at work in
the progression or regression of the technology (e.g. lobbyists,
special interest groups, partisan views, vocal advocates or
spokespersons)? For example: The Americans with Disabilities
Act was designed to prevent discrimination and encourage
accessibility to public facilities; it impacted architects,
companies, organizations and persons with disabilities through
the installation of ramps (wider doors, lower knobs/handles,
larger restroom stalls), the use of assistive devices in schools
and in the workplace, hiring practices and lawsuits against
employers, etc.
Economic Issues: Consider production, consumption, costs,
variables of supply-demand, corporations, private enterprise,
impact on the nation’s economy (employment, displacement,
outsourcing). Are certain industries impacted more than others?
Look up financial projections—expectations for growth, startup
6. companies, the stock exchange, etc.—anything related to
business and the U.S. and global economy. Who are the chief
players in the business environment, and what is their role?
How much has been invested in research and development? How
will the price fluctuate? What economic trends are to be
observed? Who will make money from the technology? Who is
funding the research and development? Who controls the purse
strings, and why? Look at foundations and charitable
organizations, the outcomes and the nature of consumers. Be
sure to use charts and tables and quantitative data in this
section. Tables, figures, and data and statistics must be current,
valid and used appropriately.
Psychological Effects: How has this technology been received,
accepted, rejected? Why? Is it feared or favored? What is the
attitude toward change? How are the developers trying to “sell”
the technology to the general public? Look at attitudes, feelings
(emotions), behaviors, personality, and the ways humans change
as a result of this technology. What is being thought and why?
Is the human mind impacted? How? Are interactions between
people changing as a result? Who is included or excluded and
why? Use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Piaget or some other
theorist. What psychological needs are met by the technology
(e.g., cell phones once granted status and now promote a sense
of belonging or connectedness) or created by the technology?
Consumerism?
Sociological Effects: Look at groups and organizations that
have arisen and prospered because of this technology. Are these
groups supportive or antagonist, and why? (An example is
genetically modified foods [GMOs] and the backlash against the
Monsanto corporation. Another is cochlear implants which
allow the deaf to hear, yet reduce the deaf population that calls
itself a community.) How does the technology change society,
or how does society change in response to the technology? What
7. factors in society led to the development in the first place?
What do class, gender roles, race, norms, etc. mean in this
context? Who will benefit from the technology, and who might
be harmed (this might also belong in ethics/morals section)? For
example, prosthetics enable people to participate more fully and
actively in society (some persons are competing in triatholons
and marathons), and the “war” has brought about the need for
advances in prosthetic technology as casualties with missing
limbs return home to the United States. Look at the workplace,
new companies and/or jobs created, jobs lost (or save this for
economics?). Look at roles—subgroups, people’s interpersonal
and intrapersonal relationships. Consider crime, healthcare,
schools. Surveillance cameras, for example, have recently been
installed inNew York City, and the result has been a decrease in
the amount of crime, purse-snatching, pickpocketing, etc. Yet
some fear the “big brother” effect of always being watched and
tracked and concerns over “Who will guard the guards?”
Cultural Considerations: This is a really important section.
Consider the elements that comprise the culture and subcultures.
Compare the United States use of the technology with that of
other nations around the world. What is about Americans that
brings about innovation, or has America declined in terms of
technical innovation, scientific research and development? Look
at advertising for the technology, the use of celebrities or stars
or heroes, the applications (e.g. sports and nanotechnology) and
the values represented by the culture. What has priority and
why? An example: IBM was spelled out in xenon atoms. Why
were these letters chosen instead of something else?
What new words have been added to our vocabulary from this
technology? “Horseless carriage” was used long before the term
“automobile.” “Wireless” preceded Wi-Fi, and webcasting
preceded podcasting. “Broadcast” was a term adapted from
agriculture long before it was used for radio and television.
Artistic Links: How do musicians and artists react to the
8. technology or use the technology or incorporate the technology
in their artistic productions? For example, fiber optic lighting
has been used on the stage and in parades (Disney) for
costuming. The drama term “In the limelight,” for example, was
derived from a lens/lighting system used in lighthouses. Look at
literature—perhaps science fiction or fantasy stories—that
predate the technology (Jules Verne, for example, wrote about
submarines before they were actually invented and used—
though Leonardo da Vinci had sketched the idea centuries
before Verne). Are there any songs, short stories, poems, plays,
TV shows, or films that directly make reference to the
technology? Are there any “related” literary works that apply?
Is the artifact in a museum or will it be? Why? How does the
technology relate to concepts of beauty and novelty and human
creativity? How can people express their humanity through this
technology? An example: scientists experimenting with nano
made a “nano guitar” that actually played a tune, though it was
subthreshold human hearing.
Environmental Effects: Consider such things as dangers to
humans, the depletion of resources, air and water pollution,
discovery before inventions, impact on wildlife and humans
(health and safety), long-term and short-term effects, waste
disposal, aesthetic considerations (how the technology changes
the landscape). Look also at the positive effects (savings of raw
materials or fossil fuels, low environmental impact,
enhancement to the environment). For example, some thought
the Alaskan Pipeline would impact the caribou population and
its ability to migrate; the scientists discovered that the
population actually increased and was healthier because they
had “shade” from the above-the-ground pipe, fewer biting flies,
and less physically stressed females.
Other negative examples: the spotted owl and deforestation in
Washington State; the snail darter and the dam, endangered
species and loss of habitats, extinction, over-mining,
overproduction, pollution of ground water, landfills, toxic
9. wastes, stripping the soil of nutrients, over fishing, over
hunting, over harvesting.
Moral and Ethical Considerations: Consider quality of life,
human rights, codes of ethics, privacy, accountability, corporate
responsibility government responsibility, individual
responsibility (e.g., ways of dying and rights of dying). What
ethical values are expressed implicitly or explicitly by this
technology? Pride (being the first-to-get-to-the moon kind of
thing)? Greed? Power? Fraud? Theft? Deception? Lies? Whose
rights are violated? Whose rights are honored? Consumer
rights? The rights of the general public? Freedom? Authority?
Control? What are the major moral concerns associated with the
creation and adoption of this technology? Remember the e-
Waste example in the reading I gave you—the disposal of
dangerous toxins in “poorer” countries, the not-in-my-backyard
phenomenon. What do religious groups have to say (this group
thing may fit better in the sociology section)? For example,
contraceptives generally prevent pregnancy but for some this
technology violates what they call “natural law” and their
religious belief in God’s command to “be fruitful and multiply.”
Look at corporate code of ethics, professional codes of ethics
(IEEE, etc.) available through websites such as Illinois Institute
of Technology’s and Case Western Reserve University’s
(compilation) or ethicsonline.org. Look at the companies
developing the technology and check out their “codes of ethics”
to determine whether the technology they are developing is in
keeping with their mission and values. Who is responsible if
something goes wrong or if critical information is withheld
from the public? Example: asbestos and cigarettes
Apply ethical theory on your own—utilitarianism, act
utilitarianism, rule utilitarianism, Kant’s categorical imperative,
ethic of care, deontology, teleology, ethical egoism, absolutism,
Fletcher’s situation ethics, ethical relativism, etc. Consider an
encyclopedia of ethics for terms and applicable concepts. Check
out the reading in our textbook on morality and technology.
10. Week 2: Resource Review (90 possible points, individual
grade)
Each member of the team will assemble at least 5 scholarly,
academic references that will be used to write the paper (refer
to Week 1’s tutorial on Scholarly References). Each student will
list his/her references using APA format, and provide a brief
explanation of each resource indicating how that resource will
be used. The focus should be upon the student’s specific
research assignment. An approximate length of this
bibliography is between 2 - 3 pages.
An example reference:
Brenner, Joel (2011). America the Vulnerable: Inside the New
Threat Matrix of Digital Espionage, Crime, and Warfare. New
York: The Penguin Press
In my section of the report, I will be researching security issues
associated with collaborative online tools. Brenner’s book
explores the events surrounding the WikiLeaks scandal and the
issues associated with security. He also examines the legal
challenges that the incident presented. This material could be
used by my team in another section of the report. He makes
some recommendations that we will consider for our conclusion.
General reference works such as encyclopedias, dictionaries,
wikipedia, howstuffworks.com will not be considered as sources
meeting this requirement. The list could include books, journal
articles, industry reports, authoritative web sites,
manufacturers’ sites or sites from research groups. Remember,
all quotations, paraphrased material, images, graphics and
statistics must be referenced in your report, so make note of all
sources while compiling your research!
Textbook Readings:
It is expected that students will bring into their report concepts
and ideas from their weekly assigned textbook readings. Part of
11. your grade is determined by your ability to synthesize these
concepts with your other research. Consequently, these authors
must be properly cited and the articles included in your final
bibliography.
Each student will submit his/her assignment to the dropbox by
the due date, and provide a copy to the Team Leader.
Week 6: Submit Rough Draft to TurnItIn (no points, but
required)
Each Team Leader will submit a single team paper to TurnItIn
this week, leaving enough time for instructor review and team
corrections. This is mandatory, as no papers will be accepted
without having been submitted to TurnItIn. After the instructor
reviews the paper through TurnItIn, general comments and
suggestions for the paper will be directed back to the team.
Week 7: Final Draft of the Paper (200 possible points,
individual grade)
All written sections will be compiled into one, cohesive team
paper. All students should review the paper to ensure that the
transitions are smooth, that the sections fit together, and that
the bibliographies are compiled correctly.
The paper should conclude with recommendations for further
research or possible solutions that could be evaluated. A
complete list of references, in APA format, should follow along
with any Appendices.
· Title Page (not included in page count)
· Table of Contents – indicating student sections (not included
in page count)
· Abstract - 200-word summary of the entire paper; it is not a
restatement of the introduction (not included in page count)
· Report
· Introduction that provides background information, establishes
the context and significance of the issues and the technology
(your thesis statement) and generally orients your reader to the
12. entire project. It should outline the scope of the investigation,
and comment on any challenges the team faced with respect to
research sources.
· Report sections, organized using at least level-1 and level-2
headings.
· Proper documentation throughout the report using APA style.
(Each member is responsible for documenting properly, and
undocumented or poorly cited material will count as
plagiarism—a failing grade for the paper.)
· Appropriate visuals/graphic aids in the document that are
discussed in the body of the report and support the thesis (e.g.,
a table, graph, chart, illustration, photograph, diagram, map,
etc.); mathematical or statistical data is appropriately used to
support conclusions. All visuals/graphic aids also need to be
properly documented.
· Conclusion that effectively synthesizes the sections of the
report. It should summarize key issues. Included in this section
should be Recommendations for Further Research, following up
on any questions that were uncovered during your research or
suggestions for groups/events to follow.
· Bibliography and appendix (not included in the page count but
significant in showing you “found” relevant stuff that would not
fit into the body of the text—brochures, charts, handouts,
samples of materials or products, or team process reports, etc.).
Wise groups begin the bibliography early and start gathering
related materials for the Appendix.
All teams must plan to leave enough time for peer review, to
check transitions and write an effective conclusion.
Remember, final papers must be submitted to TurnItIt before
submitting to the dropbox. Papers that have not been submitted
to TurnItIn will not be accepted.
Although this assignment will result in one cohesive team
paper, each person is required to submit a copy to the dropbox
by the due date. The Team Leader will distribute the finished
product to each team member, whereupon each team member
13. will submit the same assignment to the dropbox.
Team Oral Presentations (150 possible points, group grade)
Each team will conduct a live team presentation with all
classmates present. Students are required to attend the entire
presentation session, which should last approximately 2 hours.
Online students will use a Web Conferencing tool, and must
have their own computer microphones.
Important note about attendance: This presentation is worth 150
points, and if you fail to attend, you will not receive credit for
the presentation. Exceptions to this policy will be made only
forthe following unique emergency situations:
· In the event that the area in which a student resides
experiences an extended power outage due to a natural disaster
(hurricane, flood, storm, etc.)
· A student is on active military duty and cannot complete
coursework
· A student has a verifiable (documented) medical or other
personal emergency
Each presentation should begin with an introduction of the team
members, then move to a discussion of each of the elements of
the team assignment using Power Point slides.
The presentation is NOT simply a regurgitation of the written
report. Students should NOT read from the written report. The
focus should be on a presentation of the issues. Avoid
generalized statements and unsubstantiated claims. If “some
people believe that this technology will….”, tell us who they
are! If “experts believe that this will result in an increase of….”
- be specific! Give us the data and tell us who these experts are.
All direct quotes, statistics, and visuals/graphic aids need to be
properly documented. Make sure to note the source on you
PowerPoint slide.
After the slides are presented and the sections have been
discussed, the team members are to ask the class 2- 3 questions
about their technology that will promote discussion among the
other class members. The presentation should end with
14. recommendations for further research or assessments pertaining
to the technology. Presentations should be 20 – 25 minutes in
length.
Evaluations of other teams: students are expected to evaluate
one other team presentation and complete a Peer Evaluation
form for submission. Know which team you are to evaluate and
take notes during the presentation so that these forms can be
appropriately completed.
Week 8: Peer Review (30 possible points, individual grade)
Students will find a Peer Evaluation form in DocSharing. Each
student is required to fully complete the evaluation of one other
team’s presentation. The team to be evaluated should be clearly
identified, and all questions should be answered using full
sentences with correct spelling and grammar. Assessments
should be respectful and professional in nature. Each student
will submit this assignment to the dropbox by the assigned due
date.

Team Project Guidelines
Objective
This
capstone course concludes with
a research Team Project that starts during the first week and
continues throughout the duration of the class.
15. It
culminates with
the submission of a formal team report
and an
oral present
ation by each team during Week 7, and Peer Reviews in Week 8.
Each team will identify and explore an emerging technology.
This will be a technology that may already
exist, but is drawing attention because of new applications,
anticipated imp
acts or potential controversies.
Examples could include:
·
nanotechnology in manufacturing,
·
genetically modified organisms,
·
remote/robotic surgery, or
·
wireless electricity.
The team will explore the technical, social, cultural, moral and
ethical issues pre
16. sented by the technology.
Guidelines
Teams
All teams will be assigned at the start of the first week. The
first deliverable is due on the Sunday of Week
1, so students must get organized and into the project
immediately. Each team will select a Team Leader,
who will be responsible for the coordinat
ion of the research and the submission of assignments.
Team
members will remain on the assigned team throughout the
duration of the class (in the project world,
project managers seldom have the opportunity to select their
own team members!). It is highly
r
ecommended that each team develop its own Team Contract to
clearly define expectations, strategies,
and timelines.
Emphasis is placed on both individual contributions and the
final product of teams. You will communicate
with your team through team meetings
(online) and team discussion threads.
Team members who fail to
participate in an assignment will not get points for that
assignment.
With those parts of the Team Project where a group grade will
be assigned, all team members must
submit a copy of the tea
m’s work. When an assignment is completed, the Team Leader
will distribute the
17. finished product to all team members, and each team member
must submit this copy to the Dropbox,
The Task
The primary focus of the team is to research and assess the
issues ass
ociated with a specific emerging
technology. The team will produce a formal research paper in
APA format, with each team member
contributing 10 pages of text. The paper will provide the basis
for a 20
-
minute team presentation.
The following
Required Elemen
ts
must be researched and included in the final project. What
follows is a
list
