This document discusses selecting a content management system (CMS). It recommends that both IT and marketing be involved in the decision. The goals for the website and future content needs should drive the selection, not just the design. If the current CMS is over 3 years old, it may be time to reassess the solution. When selecting a new CMS, considerations should include templates, administration, hosting, content deployment, support services, user testing, and references. The selection of a CMS is an investment that will require financial resources and staff time to implement.
The document outlines an agenda for a lecture on social media consulting and ROI. It discusses:
- An overview of the history of the internet and social media.
- Examples of popular social media platforms like social networks, blogs, microblogs, photos and videos.
- Strategies for using social media, including defining objectives, target audiences, and integrating various technologies.
- Ways to measure social media success through analytics and qualitative feedback.
- Recent developments like Google Wave which aims to integrate different communication tools.

This document discusses ethics and values, focusing on returning lost property, making ethical choices, expressing personal values, and discussing honesty. It introduces returning someone else's lost property and then lists discussing ethical choices, expressing personal values, and discussing honesty as further topics to examine regarding ethics and values.
1) Class discussions in virtual learning environments occur through discussion boards rather than traditional in-class hand raising.
2) Asynchronous discussions allow students to comment and respond to each other and the instructor's prompts without participating at the same time.
3) When posting responses, students should contribute thoughtful, concise, and respectful comments to move the discussion forward rather than brief or off-topic remarks.
This document discusses building scalable web applications. It covers topics like common database bottlenecks, using asynchronous tasks like Celery to improve performance, and building an API to optimize access to data stored across multiple databases and caches. The document provides examples of using Django, Redis, and other tools to architect a Twitter-like application called Tweeter to be scalable from the start.
This document discusses managing live chats on a digital learning environment. It covers what web chats are, including that they are text-based and synchronous. It also discusses structuring chats as one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many. Examples of using chats in e-learning include asking experts questions, discussing issues to enhance understanding, and post-course support. It provides tips for making chats successful, such as having a facilitator and purpose, recognizing contributions, typing fast, seeding content, and letting debate happen.
This document contains a table listing English verbs in their infinitive, past tense, and past participle forms along with their Spanish translations. The table is organized alphabetically and includes over 100 common English verbs such as "abide", "arise", "awake", "be", "beat", "become", "begin", "bend", "bet", and others.
This document discusses issues related to local government, including whether councils should ban certain things, ways for councils to generate revenue, networking opportunities for like-minded people, sharing information and signposting resources, engaging in two-way communication that evolves and is effective, humanizing interactions, sustainability, effectiveness and contact information for further discussion. The document poses questions about what is not known, who reads certain information, and whether certain approaches are sustainable or working.
Disqus talks about how they scale their Python web application to over 500 million visitors a month.

People need a single communication tool to contact others in real-time across different devices. A uniform communication system uses HTTP/API routes and nodes to enable conversations between phones, web, tablets, and IM clients while also supporting applications like online support, alerts, integration, and location services.
The document discusses whether enjoyable e-learning is an oxymoron. It outlines Mihaly Csiksczentmihalyi's eight components of enjoyment, including confronting achievable tasks, concentration, clear goals, and immediate feedback. The document also notes potential issues with e-learning like no interaction, irrelevant content, and lack of feedback. Finally, it provides five suggestions to make e-learning more enjoyable, such as challenging conventions, telling stories, and providing engaging challenges instead of only self-study.
Totara is proposed as a learning management solution for Wendy Henry's organization to improve learning and performance management processes. It would consolidate learning records, enable managers to more easily track team development, and give learners more control over their plans and evidence. The benefits include automated practices, reduced costs, improved appraisals, a learning content repository, and more efficient processes. A phased implementation strategy is recommended to prepare the environment and roll out aspects gradually that engage users and promote improved processes over the technology.
The document discusses emerging e-learning techniques and technologies, barriers to their adoption, and trends for the future of public sector learning. It explores tools like social networking, eBooks, augmented reality, games, and data visualization. Barriers to adoption include only engaging tech-literate users, concerns over value, and internal policies limiting media use. E-learning now combines self-study, online resources, community projects, instructor interaction, assessment, and transferring learning. Mobile technologies and augmented reality show promise to further learning.
