The Social Network: Employers and Social MediaDavid Kight
The document summarizes key findings from Spencer Fane's 2011 social media survey and discusses questions that employers commonly ask about social media policies and liability. Specifically:
1. The survey found that while personal social media use by employees is common, organizations are tightening policies around work computer access and encouraging social media use.
2. Common legal questions from employers include whether they can prohibit employee-client social media connections, how to guide employee social media posting, and addressing out-of-date job titles on sites like LinkedIn.
3. Employers generally have the right to govern social media policies but must consider legal protections for things like protected speech and off-duty conduct. Addressing harassment or criminal posts

Towards a multi published student atlas molyneux-cartwrightCraig Molyneux
The student atlas is something we’ve grown up with at school, teaching us the principles of geography and the power of location. As the internet and mobile technology sweep into the modern classroom, publishers require a ‘design once, publish many’ approach to creating this fundamental tool. This paper will introduce you to the research done to date on a multi-published workflow and will tease from you your thoughts on the fundamental design characteristics - what works and what doesn’t.
The document defines key poetic elements and literary devices including:

- Elements of a poem such as words, lines, verses, stanzas, and point of view.
- Literary concepts like allusion that rely on a reader's background knowledge.

Understanding Web Accessibility and Its DriversYeliz Yesilada
The document discusses a survey conducted to understand perceptions of web accessibility. The survey found that definitions from standards/regulatory bodies were most accepted.

An ideal definition would be realistic, concise, proactive, and applicable to various contexts and groups.

The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of e-governance services provided by Akshaya telecentres from the perspective of users. Akshaya is an ICT project in Kerala that established telecentres to provide e-literacy training and access to government citizen services. The study found that while awareness of services was high, usage was relatively low. Most users visited for browsing and email rather than government services. Key barriers to use included lack of awareness, telecentres being too far, and unsuitable operating hours. The study concluded effective communication strategies are needed to increase community participation and involvement in such projects.

Delvinia Digital Diseases Presentation SmeiDelvinia
Adam Froman identified the six common missteps made by digital marketers that Delvinia calls “digital diseases” which can be found lurking online that wary customers avoid contact like the plague; they are as follows: Widget-it is, Obsessive Content Disorder or OCD, Data-pox, Ad-theria, Mono-typosis and Navigation Deficiency Virus (NDS).
Social media is everywhere and companies and consumers alike are constantly looking for effective ways to utilize online communities, blogs, wikis and the latest social media tools to engage audiences. With more than 300 million people engaged in social media, failing to leverage online mediums is often interpreted as taking a step backwards. It is the age of the consumer and social media has been the catalyst, effectively shifting control from management to the customer. Understanding your customer, giving them a voice and most importantly, listening to what they have to say is key to succeeding in the new digital world.
You will learn:
To effectively engage the audience. Digital marketing and social media in particular is a powerful platform that can create lasting customer relationships and generate millions of dollars for marketers, but you must make things interesting and meaningful.
How to listen to your audience(s). If someone that you do business with offers you advice on improving your business/customer relationship – listen. Maintaining an existing relationship is easier than spending time and money searching for a new one.
To be innovative. The biggest mistake a business can make is not experimenting or developing their digital marketing capabilities. If you’re not doing it, someone else will.
