DIY Podcasting: Benefits for Teaching and LearningRodney B. Murray
Podcasts are audio or video recordings designed to be downloaded and played on portable media devices. Podcasting has its roots in early MP3 music player (pre-iPod) and RSS (really simple syndication) technologies. This presentation will outline the history of podcasting, benefits of podcasting for teaching and learning, how podcasts are created and used, and discuss the basic tools to help anyone get started on creating podcasts.
This is the presentation which I have helped to put together with Simon Smith from BBC Training. It's intended to introduce various staff in BBC Vision who work within factual programming to social media. It covers the things which might be important to think about when creating a branded social media presence.
Social Media Consultant and Freelance Journalist Karen Kefauver will present ten tips on boosting your Facebook marketing — tips you may not have considered before!
Presentation given for Tennessee Association of Museums 2013 Conference in Franklin, TN.
Most museums are involved in social media as a part of outreach. But, in this constantly shifting field—and in museums with a small budget—how do you sustain a social media program, and how do you know if the precious staff resources you are investing in your outreach are really working? This session will investigate how "listening" and learning from one's audience on social media, coupled with a few free tools, can provide you with the right information to implement a social media strategy. Measuring your museum’s social media successes will also be discussed through the deployment of simple, free tools, such as Google Analytics and Excel.

Session from the Florida Housing Coalition's annual conference on Social Media Capacity Building for Nonprofits.
Online Community on the web is no longer solely designated to your website’s forum or email list. You must now learn how to address and engage with your community in many locations across various social media channels. This session will introduce the basics of the must-have tools, and introduce a few lesser-known tools that will help your organization more efficiently manage your community of volunteers and supporters. We will explore the common pitfalls and give you a leading edge on how to avoid them. We will also look at time-saving, third-party listening tools, so you can quickly and easily have a bird’s eye view into all conversations about your organization and respond to the questions about your organization that are being distributed throughout the social web.
Beyond the basics, most social media initiatives crash and burn because of the lack of a cohesive strategic process. Learn the details to creating and implementing a social media plan that produces tangible results and accomplishes critical objectives.

Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.
KEY WORDS: employability skills, industries, and partnership

“To be integrated is to feel secure, to feel connected.” The views and experi...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

Non-Financial Information and Firm Risk Non-Financial Information and Firm RiskAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how ESG disclosure and risk disclosure affect the total risk of
companies. Using cross section data from 355 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, data regarding
ESG disclosure and risk was collected. In this research, ESG and risk disclosures are measured based on content
analysis using GRI 4 guidelines for ESG disclosures and COSO ERM for risk disclosures. Using multiple
regression, it is concluded that only risk disclosure can reduce the company's total risk, while ESG disclosure
cannot affect the company's total risk. This shows that only risk disclosure is relevant in determining a
company's total risk.
KEYWORDS: ESG disclosure, risk disclosure, firm risk

The Challenges of Good Governance and Project Implementation in Nigeria: A Re...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study reveals that systemic corruption and other factors including poor leadership,
leadership recruitment processes, ethnic and regional politics, tribalism and mediocrity, poor planning, and
variation of project design have been the causative factors that undermine projects implementation in postindependence African states, particularly in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that successive governments of
African states, using Nigeria as a case study, have been deeply engrossed in this obnoxious practice that has
undermined infrastructure sector development as well as enthroned impoverishment and mass poverty in these
African countries. This study, therefore, is posed to examine the similarities in causative factors, effects and
consequences of corruption and how it affects governance, projects implementation and national growth. To
achieve this, the study adopted historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. The
study among others suggests that the governments of developing countries should shun corruption and other
forms of obnoxious practices in order to operate effective and efficient systems that promote good governance
and ensure there is adequate projects implementation which are the attributes of a responsible government and
good leadership. Policy makers should also prioritize policy objectives and competence to ensure that policies
are fully implemented within stipulated time frame.

35. “Steve Rubel in his blog The Revolution Won’t Be Televised; It Will Be
Instagrammed, categorises the three reasons that he believes images are
increasingly becoming the way in which people are sharing and consuming
information online:
1. Images are global. They eschew all language and cultural boundaries.
2. Images are distributable. The bandwidth required to transmit photos is
minimal, yet the opportunities for quick, creative expression are
plentiful.
3. Images are digestible. You can glance at a picture for as short or as long
as you want. Photos are a non-linear, shared consumption experience.”
