...Personal Learning Management Array Structure Giovonnte J. Tate PRG/211 March 31, 2014 Travis Sprouse Object-Oriented Programming Parallel array structures can be used for many instances where the programer wants to input information that is different to them, such as keeping track of their important items of learning. The whole process of creating a program is of a structured nature. Code does not have to be difficult and can be written in simple English. What programmers need to do is input the data into the program and if it is functioning properly, a result based on that data and output will appear. All results come from a calculated list of items that have a represented value declared by the programmer. Arrays have been used in lots of problems to arrive at solutions for tasks and routines that people are involved in day to day. The For Loop and data sharing elements make the structure a desirable solution to any situation where programmers need to write codes and programs for a problems with many working parts, such as the me with several classes with a value rating applied. The data shared between the elements, assignments and projects completed, has to be shared in order to get your results. The most logical solution is the use of a parallel array structure. To test this conclusion, a pseudo code has been written and executed and is operating with satisfactory results. The pseudo code for this particular program is written as follows: Economic Value...

...and develop your professional capabilities. Competition among people for professional advancement in both position and salary is high and being able to successfully manage your priorities and personal development is a cornerstone in achieving this. Without professional development you will find yourself left behind in the promotion race and missing out on all the 'plum' and challenging roles that you seek. This applies to all types of employees in every facet of business or industry but it is particularly relevant to office-based workers and managers who don't have the strict structures controlling their every task like a process or factory worker does. There are many different things to consider when thinking about managing priorities and professional development but to begin with you need to formulate a plan. The plan should include your performance as a role model, developing your traits as an effective leader, ensuring your work goals and plan reflect the organisation's, meeting your job responsibilities, measuring and maintaining your personal performance, prioritising your work, use of technology, maintaining a work/life balance, meeting competency standards, determining your developmental needs, taking advantage of learning opportunities that best match your personal learning style, seeking and using feedback, using networks and maintaining your competitive edge. Creating, following and updating your plan is an ongoing process that requires constant reflection and...

...definition of the confidentiality. Wikipedia, encylopedia states confidentiality as follows, “Confidentiality has been defined by the International organisation for standardization (ISO) as ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to have access” The organisation is legally responsible to collect, manage, use and disclose personal information and to comply with legislative requirements, for instance Data Protection Act 1988, Common Law rules and the organisation’s rules of Ethical Conduct. According to Data Protection Act 1988, any personal data collected in the course of business activities will be treated in accordance with that Act. In an organisation, human resource department holds the information of the employees. The importance of confidentiality procedures which should be followed by a human resource manager will be evaluated. When dealing with some of the areas, for instance, Personnel Records/Files, Credit and Financial Information, Education Information and Wire, Oral and Electronic Communications, there are effects with regard to an employee’s privacy. Staff members must not disclose personal or other information unnecessarily. Protection of confidentiality includes ensuring files and work areas are organised so that information is not inadvertently disclosed. It is a duty of a human resource manager to...

...FOR E-LEARNING SYSTEM READINESS ASSESSMENT Ali Abdul-Fattah Alshaher Lecture, Department of Management Information System, College of Administration and Economics, University of Mosul, Iraq. ABSTRACT These study it is necessary to can be used as a theoretical foundation upon which to base decision-making and strategic thinking about e-learning system. This paper proposes a new framework for assessing readiness of an organization to implement the e-learning system project on the basis of McKinsey 7S model using fuzzy logic analysis. The study considers 7 dimensions as approach to assessing the current situation of the organization prior to system implementation to identify weakness areas which may encounter the project with failure. Adopted was focus on Questionnaires and group interviews to specific data collection from three colleges in Mosul University in Iraq. This can be achieved success in building an e-learning system at the University of Mosul by readiness assessment according to the model of multidimensional based on the framework of 7S is selected by 23 factors, and thus can avoid failures or weaknesses facing the implementation process before the start of the project and a step towards enabling the administration to make decisions that achieve success in this area, as well as to avoid the high cost associated with the implementation process.

...residents use social networking sites in asynchronous distance learning? Hubert Maisonneuve1*†, Juliette Chambe2, Mathieu Lorenzo2 and Thierry Pelaccia3*† Abstract Background: Blended learning environments - involving both face-to-face and remote interactions - make it easier to adapt learning programs to constraints such as residents’ location and low teacher-student ratio. Social networking sites (SNS) such as Facebook®, while not originally intended to be used as learning environments, may be adapted for the distance-learning part of training programs. The purpose of our study was to explore the use of SNS for asynchronous distance learning in a blended learning environment as well as its influence on learners’ face-to-face interactions. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study and carried out semi-structured interviews. We performed purposeful sampling for maximal variation to include eight general practice residents in 2nd and 3rd year training. A thematic analysis was performed. Results: The social integration of SNS facilitates the engagement of users in their learning tasks. This may also stimulate students’ interactions and group cohesion when members meet up in person. Conclusions: Most of the general practice residents who work in the blended learning environment we studied had a positive appraisal on their use of SNS. In particular, we report a positive impact on their engagement in learning and their participation in discussions during face-to-face instruction...

...instructor for educational purposes is an online education or distance learning. Online educations provide a way of developing better credentials for applying for higher salaried jobs. Adults with families that work full-time jobs use distance learning to acquire higher educations. People who use traditional educations may disagree with using online educations because of classroom structure, anxiety, and student achievement. Students seeking a higher education should consider using online educations because online educations offer advantages that traditional educations do not. Even though online educations are not for everyone, online educations are growing in popularity; offer flexibility; low costs; accreditation; and are as effective as traditional educations. Online educations are growing in popularity; therefore, people can acquire a college education without quitting work. One study (Table 1) shows how online learning has grown in one-year from 3.15 million to 3.5 million students enrolling in online education courses. “More than two-thirds of all higher education studies show how online educations are growing in popularity with students as well as institutions. (Allen & Seaman, 2007). Families with one or both parents working full-time jobs find online educations as a way of acquiring a higher education because he/she needs to work to provide for the family. Students believe the flexibility of online learning is an advantage (Payne & Johnson, 2005). One student states he/she...

...Student learning: an individual or group responsibility? Even though there has been a rise in enrollment of online education courses, there has been a decline in education completion. In May 2007, the article “Read-Only Participants: A Case for Student Communication in Online Classes” was written as a result of a 8 week research study to examine how interactions among individuals in the online classroom contributed to the completion of courses and retention of information. To acquire data for the study, 22 students enrolled in a computer integrated education course from the University of Pretoria were selected to participate being almost 30 and not quite 50 years old. Primary and secondary research were included in the findings while participants completed content research individually and later assembled into smaller groups. Researchers L. Nagel, A.S. Blignaut, and J.C. Cronje’ explored completion of an online course among the factors of classroom participation, collaborative community interaction, and student individual communication. The article suggests that everyone that crosses the virtual classroom threshold holds a responsibility to student success. Facilitators aid in student learning by engaging students with pondering questions, feedback, reading assignments and are available to students for classroom related issues. The responsibility of the student involves valued participation to discussions that add worth to the learning community, working together to achieve...

...types of professional development is needed (Archambault & Crippen, 2009). The purpose of this exploratory study was to compare differences in online teachers’ selfreported frequency and confidence in performing online teaching tasks between teachers who had completed a comprehensive preparation program and teachers who participated in a one-day face-to-face workshop. Results found no differences between the groups and challenge conventions related to the nature and role of teacher preparation in online teaching. (Keywords: teacher education, online teaching, professional development, online learning, teacher preparation) nline learning at the K–12 level grows substantially each year. The issue is no longer whether or not online learning is or should occur, but rather how it is implemented. Watson, Murin, Vashaw, Gemin, and Rapp (2011) reported that, as of late 2011, online and blended learning opportunities exist for at least some students in all 50 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia and that there are now 30 states with full-time, multidistrict schools that enrolled an estimated total of 250,000 students in school year 2010–2011, for an annual increase of 25%.

...all forms of educational technology in learning and teaching. Broadly synonymous with multimedia learning, technology enhanced learning, computer-based instruction and training, computer assisted instruction, internet-based environments (also called learning platforms), and digital educational collaboration. These alternative names emphasize a particular aspect, component or delivery method. Online studying includes several types of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and streaming video, and includes technology applications and processes such as audio or video tape, satellite TV, CD-ROM, and computer-based learning, as well as local intranet/extranet and web-based learning. Information and communications system whether separate or based on either local networks or the internet in networked learning, underlie many e-learning processes. Online studying can occur in or out of the classroom. It can be self-paced, asynchronous learning or may be instructor-led, synchronous learning. It is suited to distance learning and flexible learning, but it can also be used in combination with face-to-face teaching, in which case the term blended learning is commonly used. It is commonly idea that new technologies make a big difference in education. Many proponents of believe that everyone must be outfitted with basic knowledge of technology, as well as use it as a vehicle for reaching educational goals. Online studies/ learning have made a major impact in the world of...
