I am on in the morning and then again at night, with the afternoon set aside for telecommuting and taking care of my daughter. I provide you with these times to make it easier to communicate with me, and not to limit our contact. I want you to know that, should you need to contact me outside this timeframe, you should not hesitate to do so via my University of Phoenix e-mail. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND e-mailing me with your questions or concerns, since it is best to document our conversations with a paper trail. I have yet, in nine years of being a UOP instructor, found a student who has a question or concern that couldn’t best be discussed via e-mail. If you need to call me, then please e-mail me first to schedule a time and to leave your phone number.

...Memo To: Manager CC: Manager From: Jack Steward Date: [ 2/25/2013 ] Re: Web Conferencing Programs I have been researching the web conferencing programs and come up with Infinite Conferencing. The services will cost $35.00 per month. This program is easy to use but the only problem that this site is that it has no tutorial. The video of this program gives you many settings that you are able to adjust it to what suits everyone needs. The audio for this program is set up where both or all sides are able to talk at the same time without taking turns. The security for this program is top rated because it will give you an unique URL for each of the online meetings. It also is encrypted using 128-bit AES encryption. I have also researched the web conferencing programs: ClickMeeting and InterCall. These other two web conferencing programs either lack in the audio, video, or the security is the reason I didn’t choose these other two. ClickMeeting I see will have audio and security issues while in the middle or beginning of the conference. InterCall I see will be lacking in the audio during the web broadcasting in the conferencing. Web Conferencing Programs Comparisions | | Infinite | InterCall | ClickMeeting | Video and Interactivity | 10/10 | 9.4/10 | 9.3/10 | Audio and Teleconference | 10/10 | 8.8/10 | 8.3/10 | Security | 10/10 | 10/10 | 7.5/10 | Help and Support | 8.3/10 | 9.4/10 | 10/10...

...Owner's Manual Critique (HTC 8x Windows Phone) Marc J. Sierra ENG221 November 4, 2013 Nancy Feldman Owner's Manual Critique (HTC 8x Windows Phone) The HTC Windows phone is relatively new in the market. In comparison to other phones in the market it is quite versatile and user friendly. This phone in particular comes with an owner’s manual right in the box, whereas the iPhone, for example, does not. The HTC’s online user manual is what I will be critiquing in this paper. At first glance the manual is pleasing to the eye. It uses a very soft, low glowing green color for all its titles and subtitles which was what first caught my attention. This color along with the font type and size made the entire manual easy to navigate. The “contents” section also makes good use of the larger font and attractive color for the subtitles, making it easier to navigate to specific page of the manual if needed. The next thing that caught my attention was the initial explanation and use of illustrations that the author used to make sure that the reader was going to understand the symbols that were to be used with certain instructions. This was done in the first few pages. Not having done this in the beginning would have certainly created confusion as these symbols pertain to the manual and not the phone itself. The author also makes great use of illustrations along with descriptions which he strategically places alongside of the illustration which allows the reader for a “one glance”...

Our team would benefit greatly from most of them, but their value varies greatly by cost, usability, and resource usage. I have selected three different programs for your review. Software Selection Firstly, all of our onsite users are currently using the Microsoft Windows operating system. Some users located offsite use Macintosh OS X. This would have presented a problem in the past, but luckily almost every choice today allows for use in both cases. Software Number 1: Cisco WebEx This software is excellent. It allows for almost any application that could be desired in a business setting. The price is $19.99 a month for the annual plan, it allows for HD video conferencing, desktop sharing, mobile phone access, remote control, VOIP, and can be initiated by a single host computer. Software Number 2: Adobe Connect This software also allows for basically anything we could expand to use. It’s price is $45.00 a month per host. The service offers HD and SD video conferencing, desktop sharing, mobile phone access, remote control, VOIP, great document sharing support, and like all others listed here, a virtual shareable whiteboard...
