...powerful their message is. In Andrew W. K’s article, “How Can I Talk to My Bigoted Friend?”, he was able to demonstrate an amazing rhetorical analysis using more of a blunter pathos based approach. Meanwhile William Wan and Sarah Kaplan’s, “Why are people still racist? What science says about America’s race problem.”, was able to use a more professional informative approach to demonstrate the effectiveness of their analysis. Though the authors discussed the same topics, their purposes on the other hand were quite different due to their situation. W.K is an American hard rock singer, and a current motivational speaker who was attempting to mainly address racism within a one-to-one conversation in his advice column. While addressing that conversation, he was also able to promote his main purpose which mainly was to demonstrate how powerful...

The assessment of content quality (CQ) in social media adds a layer of complexity over traditional information quality assessment frameworks. Challenges arise in accurately evaluating the quality of content that has been created by users from different backgrounds, for different domains and consumed by users with different requirements. This paper presents a comprehensive review of 19 existing CQ assessment related frameworks for social media in addition to proposing directions for framework improvements. Keywords: content quality assessment, social media, discussion forums, wikis, weblogs. 1 Introduction Information quality (IQ) has been widely defined in literature by its fitness for use. Existing research in the field of assessing IQ within traditional information systems is relatively mature and has led to the discovery and validation of numerous quality dimensions and metrics [2, 15, 17, 29, 35]. Knight & Burn (2005) have presented a comprehensive review of literature in the realm of assessing IQ frameworks. Common IQ dimensions that were identified from their review are presented in Table 1. The definitions of these dimensions have been included from Wang & Strong (1996)...

...VARK Analysis Rhonda Chrestman Grand Canyon University Family Centered Health Promotion NRS-429V-0191 Barbara Trabelsi November 17, 2013 VARK Analysis VARK is an instructional preference model of a learning styles inventory that differentiates students by the way in which they best acquire information (Marcy, 2001, para. 3). Neil D. Fleming developed the VARK questionnaire in1987 to help students become better learners and to improve the way teachers teach and develop their courses. VARK is about modality preference or the preferences that we each have for taking in and expressing learning (Fleming, n.d., para. 5). VARK is an acronym for visual, aural, read/write, and kinesthetic preference modalities. It is made up of a questionnaire that determines a person’s sensory modality preferences (Marcy, 2001, para. 4). A student may have a preference for one modality or be multimodal. A learner’s preferences do not necessarily equal what they consider to be their strengths (Marcy, 2001, para. 4). The VARK questionnaire was easy to take, informative and gave strategies to improve study habits and increase learning. After taking the questionnaire the results were calculated and came out as follows: aural-ten; kinesthetic-four; read/write-three; visual-one. Aural (or hearing) was the learning preference that was preferred. After reading about the various preferences and their study strategies the results were determined to be accurate. Aural learners should take in...
