The Value of User Experience (from Web 2.0 Expo Berlin 2008)Niko Nyman
Companies and brands should think about (user) experience to find new competitive edge for their business. Better experiences create more value for users, which can be in turn transformed into business value for the company.
User experiences are your everyday experiences--anything from operating a car, to making a pot of coffee, to ordering a pair of shoes online. User experience is the result of your interactions with a product or service, specifically how it's delivered and its related artifacts according to the design.
In this presentation Nick Finck and Raina Van Cleave will explore the ten characteristics of a great user experience. They will cover all aspects of user experience design such as user research, information architecture, information design, technical writing, interaction design, visual design, brand identity design, accessibly, usability and web analytics. Nick and Raina will also explain how following the ten commandments can boost your web sites, web app, or mobile app's ease of use, appeal, conversion rates, and more.

Template for MBR Empirical Findings Article (EFA) Submission
Overview
An MBR EFA article is expected to:
· Identify a research question of practical importance to managers
· Present the results of an experiment, survey or other study that provides insights into that question
· Explain why the results do not simply confirm what a manager would normally expect
· Where possible, place the results in the context of existing theory or propose an alternative theory
· Identify the implications of the findings in terms of broader research questions
Such an article would normally be around 5 to 15 pages.
Acceptance of an MBR EFA submission will take into consideration:
· The significance of the question being asked.
· The degree to which the findings being examined are likely to be either novel or confusing to practicing managers.
· The degree to which the analysis or theory being presented offers a convincing explanation for the findings.
· Presentation of findings in a manner likely to engage readers. Instructions
· Save this document under the name to be used with the EFA submission
· Delete the “Instructions” page
· On the first page, replace the generic information with your specific information:
· Leave the “Empirical Findings Article” heading

Tagline
In this section, place a 25-50 word paragraph that captures the importance of the research question and the findings to be presented. This will not appear in the article itself, but will be used in the contents. Since the question itself is the title, it should not be repeated in the tagline.Keywords
Put 5-10 keywords that will be used to index the article and make it easier to find when a search is done.Executive Summary
A 150-250 word summary that summarizes the importance of the research question and the degree to which the findings being presented appear to offer value to managers in their decision-making. This will appear at the beginning of the article.
Empirical Findings ArticleEmpirical Findings: The Title Goes Here
Introduction
An EFA article will normally begin with a brief description of the context of the business problem that motivated the investigation being described. Where these findings are analyzed in the context of a particular theory, that theory should also be described—hopefully in half a page of less. Th.
Episode 11 : Research Methodology
In discussing how and when objectives will be accomplished, it is important to denote clearly the responsibilities of the various personnel involved in the proposed project.
The Personnel section should describe all professional staff, state how much time each of the staff will spend on the project, and what the specific role of each will be.
In describing personnel, the proposer should carefully point out the competence and experience of each related to his/her project assignment.
The proposal should include resumes for key personnel, emphasizing background and relevant current publications which substantiate personnel ability to conduct the particular project.
Those papers which are in preparation, submitted, or in press, and which pertain to the project should
also be listed. Preprints may be included in an appendix.
It may, in fact, be necessary to prepare resumes suitable for the specific project.
Although resumes need not be included for support staff who play minor roles, it is essential to explain their tasks and to justify their appointments.

Reports
For many of your assignments, you will be asked to write a report. However,
it is important to understand that the structure of a report depends on its
purpose. Therefore, any general advice about report writing needs to be
balanced with the specific requirements of your assignment, as presented in
the course outline, and any instructions given by your lecturer.
A sample report has been included in the Appendices.
The Purpose of a Report
The most common purpose of a report is to provide comprehensive
information and analysis about a situation. Quite often – but not always – you
will be asked to provide recommendations based on that analysis. In a real
world context, this information and analysis would provide management with a
foundation to making decisions, planning future strategies, evaluating current
strategies, or measuring the progress of existing plans. In writing for your
lecturer, keep this approach in mind.
The Difference between a Report and an Essay
There are some identifiable differences between a report and an essay, which
can give you a general idea about what a report should look like. The
differences are summarized in this table:
Report Essay
Purpose Presents information and analysis
about a problem, and often suggests
a solution.
Argues a position in
response to an issue or a
proposition, drawing
conclusions about it.
Structure &
Format
Has Preliminary pages, including an
executive summary & table of
contents (see below);
Has Clearly divided sections with
numbered headings (and often sub-
headings); cohesion (“flow”) of ideas
is often achieved by the logic of these
headings;
Brief paragraphs and dot points are
acceptable so the reader of a report
can extract information quickly;
Tables and figures are often included
as a way of showing information
quickly and easily;
Often makes recommendations
Has Introduction, body and
conclusion; sometimes you
may be asked to provide
headings for these;
Cohesion is achieved by the
flow between paragraphs,
and strong paragraph
structure;
Dot points are not
appropriate because an
essay aims to provide a
more reflective reading
experience.
Essay discussions may
sometimes include a table or
figure, but not usually.
Page 50
General Report Structure
The structure of a report is generally divided into sections.
Preliminary Pages
Check with your lecturer about whether
all of these items are necessary for your
assignment.
The convention is to use small case
Roman numerals (i, ii, iii, iv) for page
numbering in this section.
Letter of Transmittal (if required)
Assignment cover sheet
Executive summary (or abstract)
A contents page
A list of tables (if relevant)
A list of figures (if relevant)
Main Text
Use decimal outlining for numbering
sections in the main text.
Number the pages of your assignment
using Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3…)

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
2. Title page
The title of the report should tell the reader
exactly what the report is about:
The sleepsuit: The design and evaluation of an innovative new
sleeping bag.
The feasibility of adopting the RX 90 in-flight entertainment
system for the Qantas international fleet.
Also include any relevant details [name, course and assignment]
as required by your subject.
3. Abstract or Executive Summary
• A summary of the report’s essential information
• 100 to 200 words in length
• Presented on a separate page.
The abstract / executive summary should summarise:
• the background to the problem
• the purpose of the report
• the goal of the work reported on / the scientific or commercial
objective
• brief details of the approach, procedure and/or methods
• important results and/or findings
• Conclusion(s)
• Recommendations
4. Abstract or Executive Summary
• Information included in the abstract or executive
summary depends on the information that has
been included in the report
No recommendations in report > no
recommendations in executive summary.
• Remember!!
Not just an outline of the points
Should include outline of analysis and conclusions
you have reached.
5. Examples of good and poor executive summaries or abstracts
A good example of a executive summary from a design/feasibility report
6. A POOR example of a executive summary from a
design/feasibility report
Background problem
This report should analyse and
evaluate, not hard sell. Language is
again inappropriate for a formal
report.
7. Table of Contents
• Reports more than a few pages should include a table of contents.
Helps the reader to locate information quickly
Gives the reader a schematic overview of the structure and contents of the report.
• What should be included?
all section headings and subheadings:
worded exactly as they appear in the report
numbered exactly as they appear in the report
The table of contents should be on its own page.
As well as a table of contents, you may wish to include:
List of figures
List of Tables List of appendices
Nomenclature
9. Introduction
• gives the reader the necessary background
information and can include:
statement of the problem/s;
description of main aim/s, objective/s and scope (the parameters)
of the report;
review of previous work/research in this area and identification of
the relationship between this research and the current project (i.e.
you need to identify the importance of the current project for
scientific knowledge or commercial operations);
an overview of the report’s sections and their relationship to the
research problem;
explanations of terminology if necessary;
method(s) of approach;
indications of scope and limitations of the study;
outline of material presented in rest of report.
10. Difference between Introduction and
Executive Summary?
• There will be some duplication in the contents
of the executive summary and the
introduction
• However, the purpose of the executive
summary is to provide a summary of the
findings of each section of the report.
• The purpose of the INTRODUCTION is to
outline what the report will cover and how
these issues address the research problem.
12. Body of the report
• expands and develops the material in a logical and coherent
manner
• reflects the structure outlined in the Introduction
• contains a description of the findings and a discussion of them.
• relates the findings to any theory of relevance.
The following questions are examples of some of the types of
questions the body of your report should seek to answer:
• What were the most significant findings or factors involved in the
topic/ problem?
• Did the findings support the theory?
• Have you found some disagreement with the theory?
• Did you uncover any unexpected or new issues that need to be
considered?
14. Conclusion
• summarises the major inferences that can be drawn from the
information presented in the report
• answers the questions raised by the original research problem
• states the conclusions reached
• also attempts to show the significance of the findings
reported and their impact
• must not introduce any new material.
15. Conclusion
• should summarise the main points clearly.
• This section also may include:
key-bullet reference to original aim(s) and objective(s) of report,
key-bullet application(s) of results,
key-bullet limitations and advantages of the findings,
key-bullet objective opinion, evaluation or judgement of the evidence
• Quite often the present tense is used in the conclusion:
“the cement tested in this project is a good candidate for the dense-
phase mode of pneumatic transportation”.
• The conclusion should NOT tell the reader what to do
this job is performed by the recommendations section.
(NOTE: Sometimes the conclusion
and recommendation can be
presented together in one section
but they should be presented in
separately labelled subsections).
16. Examples of good and poor Conclusion sections
An example of a good conclusion section from a design/feasibility report
17. An example of a POOR conclusion section from a
design/feasability report
18. Recommendations
• If required, recommendations should emerge from the
conclusions of the report.
• Recommendations tell the reader what to do:
what decision to make
what course of action to take
what alternative solution is superior
what further work needs to be undertaken
• Recommendations should be feasible and appropriate to the
problem.
• The recommendations section provides your opinion on the
course of action to be taken.
• Sometimes you may recommend that NO action be taken as
this, in your opinion, is the best course of action to take.
