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)...

...Training and Development Project Week 4 Yonette Bailey DeVry University HRM 420 In order to determine if the training that the cashier and food prep employees is receiving is effective there will be training evaluations done. Training evaluation checks whether training has had the desired effect. Training evaluation ensures that whether candidates are able to implement their learning in their respective workplaces, or to the regular work routines. The main purposes of training evolutions include but are not limited to: Feedback: It helps in giving feedback to the candidates by defining the objectives and linking it to learning outcomes. Research: It helps in ascertaining the relationship between acquired knowledge, transfer of knowledge at the work place, and training. Control: It helps in controlling the training program because if the training is not effective, then it can be dealt with accordingly. Power games: At times, the top management uses the evaluative data to manipulate it for their own benefits. Intervention: It helps in determining that whether the actual outcomes are aligned with the expected outcomes (Training and Development, 2007). Training evaluations should be completed before, during, and after training. The learner's skills and knowledge are assessed before the training program. During the start of training, trainees generally feel it as a waste of resources because at most of the times trainees are unaware of the objectives and learning outcomes...

...burnout are complexity, structure, administrative processes, and interpersonal relationships. A manager can create an environment that would help minimize these factors by setting realistic goals, prioritizing work, balancing undesirable with preferred tasks, recognizing achievement of personal and departmental goals, and to create supportive networks. 3. Even though a manager can never be sure a system is legally defensible, there are several steps that can help ensure nondiscrimination. Some legal factors that a manager might consider when designing a personnel appraisal system are that the contents of appraisal should be in writing. It should be at least one per year and should be based on the job analysis. Standards, results, an appeal process, and anti- discrimination laws should be communicated to personnel. Employees should have an opportunity to respond in writing to appraisals. The organization in which the therapeutic recreation program is housed greatly influences the manager’s role in performance reviews. An organization usually uses or recommends the use of standardized forms and or review processes during formal evaluations. Within any organization, personnel carry out their...

...EVALUATING QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTS Abstract Purpose Despite the abundance of research on quality management there is no universal consensus on how best to measure quality in higher education. This paper undertakes a critical evaluation of the different methods used to assess the quality of provision in higher education departments in the UK. Methodology Drawing on relevant literature, the authors develop a quality audit tool that incorporates all key components of effective quality management programmes and apply it to a single UK case study department. Findings The findings suggest that the potential for quality enhancement is determined by the manner in which the evaluation is conducted and subsequent change implemented. Perhaps unsurprisingly there is currently an emphasis on internally derived quantitative data and there is potential to enhance the management of the quality of HE programmes. Research Limitations/Implications This article has concentrated on the development of the quality audit tool and tested this within one UK department. Work is underway to now test the tool on an international basis. Paper type Research paper Key Words quality, higher education EVALUATING QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENTS Introduction In many countries and many cultures, the issue of quality management has been firmly on the agenda of higher education institutions for quite some time.

...Int. J. Services and Operations Management, Vol. 7, No. 4, 2010 465 An AHP framework of supplier evaluation with reference to high-value and critical items: a case study Debadyuti Das* Faculty of Management Studies University of Delhi 110 007 Delhi, India E-mail: debadyuti_das@yahoo.co.in *Corresponding author Deepak Barman Faculty of Management Studies Banaras Hindu University 221 005 Varanasi, India E-mail: dbarmanbhu@rediffmail.com Abstract: This study developed a simple two-stage decision framework for evaluating suppliers of high-value and critical items with reference to a heavy engineering organisation by employing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The first stage involved examining the qualifying criteria of the items on quality, while the second stage was concerned with identifying all other relevant attributes, including quality concerning high-value and critical items applicable to the organisation under study, and with finding out the relative importance of the same. The attributes were organised in a two-tier hierarchy showing four major criteria in the first tier and 17 subcriteria in the second tier. This enabled us to employ AHP to find out the relative importance of each individual subcriterion through pair-wise comparison between all major criteria and subcriteria by eliciting opinions from three experts. The findings indicated the quality/reliability of the items to be the most important criterion, followed by price and then technological capability...

...EDU 225 Comprehensive Classroom Technology Plan My mission is to incorporate technology strategies in the classroom as much as possible, while following the guidelines set out by the state curriculum. My vision is to create a classroom/environment where all students are excited and anxious to learn and that students be able to show what they have learned at the end of each lesson. As technology continues to grow, there will be more and more of a need and demand for technology use in the classroom. When using computer technology in the classroom, one must find the course of action to correctly guide lessons for the curriculum so that students can reach their optimum goals. Ultimately to mark how each student is doing in the classroom we must locate software for formative and summative assessments. After all, a teacher’s ultimate goal to be able to teach our students and also be able to document what those students have learned. In that light one, the teacher must look a number of things, how can technology assist in efforts to assess student learning? What are formative assessment and summative assessment and how do they compare and differ? What are the pluses and minuses of using technology in the classroom? Should only technology be used in assessing learning? These are the questions that teachers seek to answer and justify. First, let us explore assessments in the classroom.

...literate by the time they reach the eight grade. Evidence exist within the Houston County School District that A grant was written in 2009 requesting two million dollars to bridge the digital divide within our community. The grant was approved and a motion to coordinate a curriculum develop project has been accepted by the schools board committee. The goal of this project is to integrate technology among all middle schools that is at present an underserved community with limited access to technology. All stakeholders will be compiled into committees and a point of direct contact will be delegated for each group. After all decisions have been made and the implementation phase begins, the program will receive formative and summative evaluations that will continue to occur as for the duration of the program. Power in Technology The Houston County School District, plagued with a high crime rate, high unemployment, and extreme poverty, has found itself deficient of the skills needed to perform day-to-day-tasks. Many of the people in this community have been impacted by deficiencies passed down from generation to generation. For example, some of the women who currently receive governmental assistance (public housing, welfare and food vouchers) are descendents of those who received the same assistance. This sometimes extends as far back as 4 generations. With this taken into consideration the Houston County School District (HCSD) has hired, Bridgett Standring, to...
