As Wikipedia has become more and more popular with students, some professors have become increasingly concerned about the online, reader-produced encyclopedia. While plenty of professors have complained about the lack of accuracy or completeness of entries, and some have discouraged or tried to bar students from using it.

The skills audit, SWOT analysis and the action plan are included as an appendices. It will also apply communication theories to
The SWOT analysis is a useful tool for identifying our personal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to our plans and goals. According to a “Fuel My Motivation” article (2010), this analysis considers internal influences that can positively or negatively affect our ability to achieve our goals. The internal factors are our strengths and weaknesses. Also considered are opportunities and threats, which are external influences that can have a positive or negative impact on the ability to achieve our goals. I will share how the self-assessment instruments and self-exercises in this course have contributed to assessing and understanding my strengths and weaknesses. I will also discuss techniques I will use to leverage my strengths and understand my weaknesses. In addition, I will consider opportunities that I can take advantage of and the threats that can possibly impede my progress.
Since the internet came about in the late 1900’s it has been rapidly growing in the popularity
First of all, where does the word “Google” come from? The name "Google" originated from a misspelling of "googol,” which refers to 10100, the number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. It found its way to the English language, now the verb "Google", was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006, meaning, "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet." Their search engine was originally nicknamed "BackRub" because the system checked back links to estimate a site's importance. /// The start of Google was pretty much like the start of every website. It was a research project to these two Ph.D. Students where they hypothesized that a search engine that analyzed the relationships between websites would produce better ranking of results than existing techniques, which ranked results according to the number of times the search term appeared on a page. It was first related to the university’s domain, but then the traffic was so heavy that the university asked them to move their website to a domain outside the university. What made Google this popular was the speed it pulls out information, which is counted in parts of seconds. And also, the size of their data base, according to the instructor of our instructor in MIS class only 60% of data you found on Google are in other web search engines.
Wikis – a collective site where all participants are given the freedom to create or modify any page with the aim of gathering information (Désilets and Paquet).
Can you imagine a world without Google? Google gets an average of 5.9 Billion searches per day and is rated the most visited website and search engine. Google is worth over 20.3 Billion dollars and you would never guess Larry Page would be the creator. Larry Page actually created Google on a mission to make webpages search by popularity on the web and was a college project. Larry was able to save up 1 million dollars from family, friends, and loyal people all giving donations to make Google what it is today.
First off, wikis could provide many uses for the educational environment. Not only is it easy to access and doesn't require fancy hardware or programs, it also encourages participation to take place. Wiki pages can be edited by either students or professors with each page relating to a topic or subtopic to the class unit; these pages can either be a collaborative or individual effort depending on the professor's choice. Each page can consist of an image or video gallery to support the text or have links provided for students to learn more information. Also, there could be forums to discuss the information further with fellow peers. David L. Neumann conducted a research project to analyze the effects of using wikis against individual (traditional) lectures. At the end of the researc...
The Internet has made access to information easier. Information is stored efficiently and organized on the Internet. For example, instead of going to our local library, we can use Internet search engines. Simply by doing a search, we get thousands of results. The search engines use a ranking system to help us retrieve the most pertinent results in top order. Just a simple click and we have our information. Therefore, we can learn about anything, immediately. In a matter of moments, we can become an expert.
