Online networks & the traditional university a prospectusDavid C Roberts
The subject of this report is the development of online learning and how it might affect the university sector. The aim is to consider the potential and threat represented by this technology. To achieve this it is necessary to consider the strengths of the new online learning approaches, their likely development and plausible market reactions. It is a deliberate scenario-setting, written in order to facilitate strategic analysis and responses. The only judgments made are that, first, this is an important topic and that, second, this is in part because teachers have a responsibility to use technology well. No other position of judgment is taken as to what will happen in the coming years but instead four scenarios are described, each conveying a different level of impact upon UK higher education.

The document discusses the differences between learning and education. It argues that while e-learning is effective for acquiring new skills, it does not provide the same outcomes as traditional education. Traditional education leads to a transformation in how people think and process information through immersion and interaction that challenges beliefs. It proposes a map showing that different learning models like asynchronous, synchronous, and classroom-based lead to different outcomes. While e-learning is valuable for job skills, traditional education provides a foundation for developing analytical skills and world views.

2) It provides context on the history of internet piracy legislation including the shutdown of Napster and legal cases between the RIAA and Verizon.
3) The key concerns with SOPA and PIPA are that they give the government too much power to censor the internet and threaten innovation by collateraly affecting sites like Google, YouTube, and Wikipedia in addition to targeting piracy.
Managing stakeholder expectations is one of the most important tasks for a project manager. It involves identifying all stakeholders, understanding their interests and level of influence, and communicating with them throughout the project. Key tools for managing stakeholders include stakeholder analysis grids to categorize them, expectation management matrices to clarify priorities, and issue logs to track concerns. Project managers must also decentralize decision-making, be transparent with information, and treat all stakeholders equitably regardless of their level of power or interest. While technology can aid communication, the most important skills are listening to understand stakeholders and building trust through clear, concise dialogue.
The document is an outline and draft essay arguing that burning the American flag should not be protected as free speech under the First Amendment. The author proposes that the 1989 Supreme Court decision ruling flag burning as symbolic speech was made in error. The outline includes sections refuting opposing arguments, and the draft essay further develops the position that burning the flag is an act of sedition, not protected speech, and should be considered illegal.
This document discusses using an interdisciplinary approach to address the complex issue of human sex trafficking. It draws on the disciplines of information technology, general business, and organizational leadership. Information technology can help by using data mining and security techniques to identify patterns and track traffickers online. General business principles can provide insights into the market dynamics of trafficking. Organizational leadership is needed to manage collaborative efforts across different groups working on this issue. While conflicts may arise from other disciplines, an interdisciplinary team incorporating these three areas could help reduce and prevent trafficking by utilizing technological tools and data, understanding the business of trafficking, and coordinating organizational responses.

DEFINITION
According the AAC&U, integrated learning is defined as “an understanding and
disposition that a student builds across the curriculum and co-curriculum, from making simple
connections among ideas and experiences to synthesizing and transferring learning to new,
complex situations within and beyond campus” (Rhodes, 2010). It is evident that students at
Texas Tech University (possibly other universities as well) arrive on campus with basic
understanding of what the next four years will hold. Truth be known, they are in for a rude
awakening. Veronica Boix-Mansilla states that integrated learning is “when [students] can bring
together concepts, methods, or languages from two or more disciplines or established areas of
expertise in order to explain a phenomenon, solve a problem, create a product, or raise a new
question” (Tanner, p.3). Additionally, my definition of integrative learning, would also include
life's learning experiences on multiple levels. Take for instance my three and a half year old.
The result of his learning is monumental to him. However, to me as an adult, those same results
would be taken for granted. As someone who has lived and worked in different states, different
environments and different cultures, integrative learning was beneficial for me through
experiencing being taken out of my comfort zone [shelter] and then applying my knowledge of
those experiences of brand new sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and even touch (the sensory touch,
as well as the touch that impacts my life). This enabled me to solve issues that arose in my new
and ever-changing environment that surrounded me.
EDUCATION
Early in my college career I was aspiring to be an artist. Like every young aspiring artist,
still green to the real world, I had hopes of one day working for Marvel or DC comics. Much to
my dismay, my idea of an art degree was completely different from the school’s plan. I could not
3. WHAT IS INTEGRATIVE STUDIES 3
be Superman and a commercial art student at the same time. Computers [software] were just
beginning to replace freehanded artists.
This led me to my next train stop in life - computers. Kolb's experiential learning theory
shows four stages that we must go through to learn. Stage one is diverging, meaning concrete
experience. Stage two is assimilating or reflective observation. Stage three is convergent, which
is concluding learning. Stage four is accommodative, which is active experimentation (Tanner,
27). I found myself in stage one. This would be me learning a new skill - computers. I took a
different approach than most and dove in feet first; I took a hands-on approach to learning. I first
learned how to operate the computer then how to build/rebuild one. In the beginning I thought I
was going to be a PC Support Specialist [a.k.a. computer geek].
Often we take side roads and find ourselves in a different theater doing a completely
different act than what we thought we would be doing. After working in the IT sector for some
time, I grew tired of it and tired of the stereotype [computer geek] so I ventured out to find a new
career. This led me to the business world of Chicago. I always had an interest in the business
world so I explored my options and fell into an opportunity to become licensed and bonded by
the Chicago Board of Trade to sell and buy bonds. Even though my computer skills had taken a
back seat, they once again resurfaced and my skills were used to develop my company’s website.
This ignited a desire to blend the business world with my computer skills, which led me to return
to school to pursue this career.
Jumping forward to present time, I enrolled in the Rawls School of Business seeking a
degree in Business Management Information Systems. This seemed like a happy marriage
between business [a passion] and computers [a hobby]. While working for the Chicago Board of
Trade and working with computers I realized the sensitivity of the information that is being
4. WHAT IS INTEGRATIVE STUDIES 4
transferred from one computer to the next or from one network to another - unlike the former
secretary of state. One thing I have learned in all my experiences is that all you have in this
world is your name and your credit. Without a good character your name holds no merit and
without good credit then you lose privileges such as buying a house, a car or the possibility of a
good job. These two things nowadays are directly tied to computers. Computers hold all this
information and supposedly keep it safe. From here I want to take my education [training] and go
to work for an IT securities firm.
COMPLEX PROBLEM
As I previously stated, people and several organizations have become fully dependent on
technology. The problem we face is the safety of our personal identity or that of a company.
Security is vital issue of concern in our ever-changing world of technology. The problem is that
everyday there is a growing threat to security and privacy online. Computer viruses are some of
the common computer security threats; they can be very miniscule and they can also be big
enough to bring down an entire network like DoS (Denial of Service). DoS is an attempt to make
a machine or network resource unavailable to its intended users (Webopedia). Another problem
posing a threat to the security of users, banks, or companies is phishing. Phishing is an attempt
to steal sensitive financial or personal information (McAfee).
Many of the cyber-issues we face today involve several factors like economic, political
and social. The average computer user has very little allurement [interest] to secure their
personal computers with the technology available. These cyber-issues have to be addressed, not
from just a technical standpoint but a political, social and strategic as well.
Looking at it from a consumer’s point of view one might turn to Google for the answer -
these days the phrase “Google It!” seems to be the answer to everything. YouTube would be
5. WHAT IS INTEGRATIVE STUDIES 5
another avenue one might explore to solve a complex issue such as a security threat to the
information technology that we hold so dear. Seeking out other professionals (Geek Squad), or
networked connections in like-minded situations would also be a resource for solving complex
problems.
CONNECTION
Each step that I took, whether was in life or in the MIS program prepared me for
undertaking a career in IT Securities and the threats at various levels and complex issues that go
along with it. I know that with my background, new training and education I can be a great asset
to my future employer. With my background in Information Services I knew enough to get so far
within a corporation. However, with my new training and education I can go even further. The
thing with any career you choose there will always be more training and more to learn to stay
ahead of the curve and keep business flowing.
My knowledgebase, experiences, and skillsets are what I would consider to be assets. All
of the aforementioned are things that I have collected throughout my lifetime. Each one of these
have a value that you could put a price tag on. Invaluable experience was gained no matter the
job and allows you as the employee to prove your worth. My plan upon graduation is to be
employed by USAA (United Services Automobile Association) as a Systems Analyst. USAA is a
Texas-based Fortune 500 diversified financial services group of companies (USAA). At USAA I
have the opportunity for advancement. I can take charge of the direction of my professional
career at USAA and move upwards into a managerial position. I like the fit of this of this
company because of the flexibility they offer. They encourage growth, furthering your education
and strongly involved in the community.
6. WHAT IS INTEGRATIVE STUDIES 6
My areas of concentration in business administration, information systems (database
management, business intelligence, networking) and Information Systems Project Management
have a strong role to play, as previously stated, in my future career.
Sometimes what we learn along the way without formal education can take us far, but
after a while we realize, that in an economy that changes more often than we change socks, we
need to increase our bottom dollar through education to do more than keep our head above water.
Obviously, if you continue to improve on your skills and knowledge you will be a not only is an
asset to your company, but also a valuable resource to your community.
