This document discusses a study on using social networks in Saudi Arabian education. The study aims to assess how Saudi Arabian higher education students currently use social networks and their potential educational usage. A social education model is proposed to understand factors influencing student behavior. The study found students are highly engaged with social networks and most think they could improve learning if integrated into education. Recommendations include developing a dedicated educational social networking site and ways teachers could leverage existing sites. Further research is needed to understand what most distracts students and how a tailored site could best support Saudi education needs.

Services Marketing Chapter 4 Planning and Producing the Service PerformanceDr. John V. Padua
The document discusses planning and producing effective service performances. It explains that service performances are multifaceted events that occur over time through a sequence of interactions. The document also describes techniques for customizing, scripting, and blueprinting service performances to differentiate services and ensure quality. Scripting lays out a service from the customer's perspective while blueprinting uses a graphic to identify customer and employee touchpoints and back-end processes.
Most of the research which investigates writing in university contexts focusses on student writing, and the social practices of writing as part of student learning. In this seminar we present selected findings from our research project (see http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/acadswriting/), which examines the writing of academics in three English universities. We have spent the last 18 months working closely with academics across different departments, universities, and disciplines, and used repeated interviews and observations of writing processes to explore their cultures of professional writing. Specifically for this seminar, we focus on elements of our data where our academic participants recall how they became acquainted with the demands and conventions of their professional writing; in short, how they learned to write as academics.
We outline the management of ongoing and ‘on the job’ learning to write, new challenges of collaboration and digitisation, developing strategies to cope with changes, and mastering an increasing diversity of genres and text-types.
We hope that this seminar will stimulate an important discussion about the choices academics make about their writing, and the most appropriate ways of approaching professional development for academics, both at the early career stage and throughout their professional lives.

The document discusses market segmentation strategies used by marketers. It explains that consumers have heterogeneous needs and motivations, so marketers break the market into more homogeneous segments. Different types of segmentation are described, including demographic, geographic, psychographic, behavioral, and business-to-business versus business-to-consumer. Marketers must understand the marketplace and gather customer information to identify meaningful segments to target. Common segmentation strategies include breadth, depth, and tailored approaches. The goal of segmentation is to create tailored marketing mixes that better meet the needs of different customer groups.
Principles of Management Chapter 1 Business in GeneralDr. John V. Padua
The document provides an overview of business concepts including:
- What is business and its relationship to the economy. Business produces goods and services to meet consumer needs in exchange for profit.
- The key factors of production are land, labor, capital and entrepreneurship. Business uses these factors to produce goods and services for the economy.
- There are different types of businesses including industries, commerce and services. Different economic systems like capitalism and socialism are also discussed.
- Factors like profit motivation, prestige, and fulfilling needs drive people to engage in business. Feasibility studies evaluate the viability of business ventures.
Principle Management Chapter 9 Management Information SystemsDr. John V. Padua
This document discusses information systems and their components. It defines key terms like data, information, and systems. It explains that computer-based information systems take in data as input, process it, and produce information as output. A system is defined as a set of components working together to achieve a common goal, and can include subsystems and be either closed or open. The four stages of data processing are described as input, processing, output, and storage. Reasons for studying information systems include careers in the field and because computer literacy is becoming essential in modern society. Some ethical issues with information systems are also outlined, such as privacy concerns and social inequality.
Culture, management styles and business systemsluispachon
This document discusses how culture affects management styles and business systems. It outlines several cultural factors that influence authority, decision making, communication, formality, and ethics across countries. Relationship-oriented cultures prioritize building trust and personal connections, while information-oriented cultures focus more on tasks and results. Understanding these cultural differences is important for adapting management practices and conducting ethical business internationally.
Photolithography uses ultraviolet light to etch designs onto silicon wafers coated with photoresist. There are two types of lithography used to make microfluidic chips: photolithography and soft lithography. Photolithography involves using UV light to create molds on silicon wafers, while soft lithography uses those molds to make chips from PDMS polymer. The photolithography process involves priming, coating, exposing, and developing the wafer using a photomask to transfer the desired pattern to the photoresist. There are two types of photoresist - positive and negative - which determine whether the exposed or unexposed areas are removed during development.
This chapter discusses the staffing process which includes recruiting, selecting, and training employees. It defines staffing as putting the right employees in the right jobs through evaluation and development. The key aspects of staffing covered are the recruitment process, selection steps, types of training, identifying training needs, human asset accounting, and movements of personnel such as transfers, promotions, and separations. Staffing is important for organizational effectiveness and efficiency.
This chapter discusses directing, which involves motivation, communication, and leadership. It defines motivation as using rewards and penalties to influence behavior. Several theories of motivation are described, including Maslow's hierarchy of needs and McGregor's Theory X and Y. Communication is defined as the transfer of meaningful information, and types of communication like formal, informal, and upward are outlined. Barriers to communication that can reduce effectiveness are also provided. Leadership is defined as influencing followers to achieve group goals willingly. Different types of leadership styles are described like democratic and laissez-faire. The chapter also covers management skills, roles, and Filipino styles.
This document discusses the philosophy of realism in education. It defines realism as portraying life as it is and focusing on the real world. It describes different forms of realism including humanistic realism, social realism, and sense realism. It discusses how realism influences the aims, curriculum, teachers, and view of children in education by emphasizing practical knowledge, vocational subjects, and preparing students for real life. However, it also notes disadvantages like neglecting imagination and over-focusing on the physical world.

virkelighed og de projekter som Energinet.dk løser
dagligt.”
4. Kort om Maria og hendes rolle
• Maria Loman
• Læser Medievidenskab (KA) i Odense
• Drevet af faglig interesse i projektet
– Spildesign
• Erfaring:
– Teoretisk: designprocesser, grafik/æstetik, brugertests, formidling
– Praktisk: kodning af et adventure spil og en platformer
• Interesse:
– Spillet computerspil siden jeg var 8 år gammel, kodningsnerd
– Ingeniør?
5. Projektplan
• Projektet løber fra d. 1. september – d. 19.
december 2014.
• Der bliver udviklet en funktionel prototype med
(mindst) en bane, som kan fremvises på messer
og bygges videre på i fremtiden.
• Maria arbejder mest hjemmefra, men fremviser
undervejs forskellige versioner af spillet og
udfører brugertests blandt studerende (bl.a.
ingeniør- og kommunikationsstuderende)
• Løbende statusopdateringer til Jes og
interessenter
13. Workshop 1
• Tænk over, hvilke af de tre muligheder du mener ville
være bedst med henblik på formålet (messeprodukt),
og skriv gerne din argumentation ned (ca. 5 minutter)
• Diskuter i gruppen (ca. 15 minutter). Prøv at stå åben
for alt! (J tager tiden, Maria skriver ned hvad der bliver
sagt)
• Tag en kort pause (ca. 5 minutter), lad det synke ind
• Afstemning (alle minus Maria)
14. Workshop 2
• Forestil dig at der ikke kun skulle lave én bane,
men et helt spil. Hvad kunne du tænke dig skulle
være med? Skriv i 5 minutter alt ned, som du kan
tænke på. (Det kan være alt fra elektriske
komponenter til tegnestil, farver, brug af
tidselement, konkurrencemulighed, økonomi…)
• Diskuter i gruppen (15-20 minutter). Maria
skriver alt ned der bliver sagt.
15. Afslutning
• Hvad sker der nu?
– Maria analyserer
– Maria tager evt. undervejs kontakt med Puk og
Tina omkring det praktiske (brug på messer og
visuelt design)
– (Telefon/mail) Møder omkring spillets indhold:
• Hvordan vil I gerne fremover involveres i projektet?
(mail, telefon, møde?)
tænke på. (Det kan være alt fra elektriske komponenter til tegnestil, farver, brug af tidselement, økonomi…)
Diskutter i gruppen. Maria skriver alt ned der bliver sagt.
