This presentation deals with social learning and social media and the possible use of social learning tools to enhance employee engagement. It was presented to public service
Abstract: Social media tools such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube have become common place for personal use, but how do we leverage these free tools to not only connect with our clientele but promote Extension to new audiences. Currently, there are 25 million Twitter accounts, over 500 million active Facebook users and 2 billion videos watched daily on YouTube, therefore, it makes sense for Extension to have a presence where users are spending time. For Extension personnel, understanding the benefits and learning the uses of social media tools is a tremendous opportunity to transition our past outreach excellence into a new, non-traditional format for the future. Join us to learn how to engage your clients, colleagues and supporters in social networks as well as exposure Extension content to a new demographic.

Using ICTs to Promote Cultural Change: A Study from a Higher Education Contextac2182
The document summarizes Anthony Cocciolo's research on how the introduction of a Web 2.0 technology impacts the culture of learning within a community.

Results showed evidence that the technology provided a space for a participatory subculture to form, as users were more likely to both consume and contribute content than on other sites. This visibility of contributions online may impact users' decisions to participate and the overall culture. Future research could explore how to specifically design technologies to support participatory cultures and cultural change.

Scientific researchers faced with extremely large computations or the requirement of storing vast quantities of data have come to rely on distributed computational models like cloud computing. However, distributed computation is typically complex and expensive. The Social Cloud for Public eResearch aims to provide researchers with a platform to exploit social networks to reach out to users who would otherwise be unlikely to donate computational time for scientific and other research oriented projects. In this paper we explore the motivations of users to contribute computational time and examine the various ways these motivations can be catered to through established social networks. We specifically look at integrating Facebook and BOINC, and discuss the architecture of the functional system and the novel social engineering algorithms that power it.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
