This study explored the information behavior of students at a large historically black college and university (HBCU) using Wilson's model of information behavior. The study found that students' information behavior was dominated by considerations of speed, clarity, accuracy, and convenience. Students placed high demands on the speed and straightforward presentation of information from sources. While students recognized the need to corroborate information, about half failed to detect manipulated search results, suggesting a prioritization of efficiency over critical evaluation. The study serves as a proof of concept for further exploration of gaps between self-reported and actual information literacy skills, especially in comparing HBCUs to other institutions.
This document lists the names of various designers and artists, their areas of specialization, and some of their recent or current works. It provides brief biographies for Emma Byron, who is currently studying for an MDes in Design for Creative Practice, and lists some posters, products, and graphics designed by Chris Storey and Stephen Mc Adams. It also mentions 3D and animation works by Heidie Elliot and Thomas Kennedy along with another show featuring designs by Brian Ferran and Morris Harron.
This document outlines Emma Byron's masters proposal presentation for a digital display project. It discusses developing a digital display idea for customers/users, and creating a digital display for an exhibition. Key issues addressed are obtaining funding and having enough time to complete the project. The main deliverable is developing the digital display.

This document contains a 50 question multiple choice test on quantitative aptitude topics including ratio and proportion, equations, simple and compound interest, permutations and combinations, sequences and series, limits and calculus, statistics, probability, sampling theory, and index numbers. The questions cover defining key terms, solving equations, evaluating integrals and limits, probability calculations, and data analysis concepts. The answer key is provided at the end.
This document outlines the rules for a probability game with three rounds. It will be played in groups, which will be determined by each person naming someone they do not want in their group. The person with the most votes can then select their group members.
The first round involves rapid-fire probability questions for each group to answer within 10 seconds per question. The second round includes two longer subjective probability questions for each group with 5 minutes to answer each.
The third round allows each group to select a probability question from a set, scoring 3 points for a correct answer. They can exchange their question for another at the cost of 1 point. Collaboration between groups is permitted in the second round for additional bonus points.
Starting with Gua Penyu, the trainers instructed the participants to switch off their torches to experience total darkness. They explored different caves with increasing difficulty over three days. In Gua Balai, they had to help each other on slippery rocks, bonding them as a group. Gua Tongkat involved squeezing through narrow passages, getting muddy and wet. They emerged from tiny holes into magnificent caverns with rock formations. Though the challenges were tough, the participants enjoyed the experience with encouragement from dedicated trainers and camaraderie with the group.
This document discusses a study that conceptualizes the initial response of Christian relief organizations to the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The study examines communication at the macro, middle, and micro levels. It analyzes how large, battleship-style organizations differed from more entrepreneurial, PT boat-style approaches in their disaster responses. Overall, the study finds that entrepreneurial approaches to disaster work tend to garner more successes than failures.

The document discusses the emergence of hyper-literacy and its implications for society, economy, and communication, emphasizing the need for collaboration in public policy to address these changes. It highlights the evolution of virtual identities and the interrelationship between online and real-world citizenship. The author warns of potential pitfalls, such as civic disengagement and the transformation of discourse into consumerism, which undermine democratic engagement.
The researchers at Caltech have created self-healing circuits that can repair themselves within microseconds after being damaged. The circuits use sensors to monitor factors like temperature, voltage and power, and a central processor analyzes performance to determine if adjustments are needed to actuators on the chip. Rather than relying on pre-programmed responses, the processor draws conclusions based on aggregate sensor responses to optimize states without external intervention. In experiments, chips recovered functionality within a second after having parts destroyed by lasers, demonstrating their ability to automatically develop workarounds. Potential applications include devices that plug into outlets, military systems, communications technology, aircraft black boxes, and robotics.

Disruption in journalism education is inevitable due to changes in the journalism profession. The document discusses how journalism education needs to prepare students for a future where content is linked and monetized online, and challenges include how to teach skills like linking, engaging audiences, and generating revenue from online content. It also addresses opportunities in training students for this new media landscape.
The document discusses the basics of media planning. It provides an overview of traditional media planning approaches and expenditures across different media channels. It also notes mounting challenges to traditional views from factors like rising costs, audience fragmentation, and diversification of media. The convergence of media is changing relationships among media, audiences and advertisers toward more individualized and interactive experiences.
This document discusses theories of management at both the micro and macro levels. At the micro level, it focuses on individual elements within an organization like management functions, roles, and theories like X, Y, and Z. At the macro level, it examines organizations and industries, covering topics like market structure, conduct, and performance. It also addresses challenges like changing business models and the rise of participatory media.
The document discusses the evolving roles and challenges faced by media managers in the context of convergence across multiple media platforms. It highlights the need for new skill sets, organizational structures, and business models, as traditional approaches become less viable. Additionally, it explores the concept of a converged newsroom where collaboration, adaptability, and innovation are essential for meeting changing audience expectations.
