    You may have heard of this platform as "Yelp" or "Google My Business." But what makes SiteJabber different? It's actually quite simple: while Yelp requires users to pay up front before posting any reviews (and then charges them monthly fees), SiteJabber offers its services free of charge as long as you're willing to accept ads on your website or social media accounts in exchange for this perk!

Writing creative MBA thesis paper - 0 views

  •  
    MBA thesis writing forms a critical part of the entire MBA program. MBA thesis writing can be the cause of a student's completion or non completion of his or her MBA program. First and foremost, MBA thesis writing is not graded by an ordinary lecturer. Instead, MBA thesis writing papers are supervised by a single lecturer, but it is a panel of lecturers who decide whether or not work by a student is satisfactory or not. Secondly, MBA thesis writing must not just consist of an ordinary topic whose content is not convincing or that does not provide a feasible, valid and reliable solution to a current problem in the MBA thesis writing field. On the contrary, thesis papers writing must contain a topic that is not too shallow or too wide. Instead, an MBA thesis writing paper topic must be within a scope or limit that allows only the use of the most satisfactory content. In the case of a highly narrow thesis statement, the MBA thesis writing papers are too shallow and leave out highly relevant content thereby, making them unsatisfactory and worth the lowest grades the rubric criteria has to offer. Too wide thesis topic, on the other hand, is not the best. Although they allow the student to have too much content to meet the number of pages requirements, much of the content is irrelevant and way overboard of what is being sought. Thirdly, MBA thesis writing papers are not should seek to follow the right format. MBA thesis paper format means seeking to accomplish university specific thesis writing format and academic writing thesis requirements. This format is recommended to make MBA thesis papers from a given university to standout. However, such specifications must not underestimate the value of conventional academic writing standards and requirements. Format will also entail observing academic writing styles as required by the academic field within which the thesis paper falls into. For instance, the format of a thesis paper must observe proper citation and referen

Buy Verified Cash App Account - BTC Enable With Documents - 0 views

  •  
    The Cash app is a mobile payment system that allows you to send and receive money. It's easy to use and is gaining popularity every day. However, there are some downsides to using the Cash app. For example, there is no option for you to verify your account as an individual user.

    You buy verified cash app accounts because they're safer to use and more stable. When you buy a verified account, it means that the person who owns that account has provided their government ID (such as a driver's license) to verify their identity. This makes it much harder for someone else to steal your money or get access to your information if they gain access to your account.

However, there are some downsides to using the Cash app. For example, there is no option for you to verify your account as an individual user. This means that when someone sends money from their bank account or debit card, they cannot request verification information from the receiving party like they would in other apps such as Venmo or Square Cash. The only way for them to do this is if they know each other personally; otherwise, they may suspect fraud or think that their funds will not arrive safely on time (or at all).

Drawing a Roadmap: Barriers and Challenges to Designing the Ideal Virtual World for Hig... - 0 views

  • So why should higher education be concerned about virtual worlds for those under eighteen? There are several reasons.
  • First, an increasing number of colleges and universities are enrolling students who are younger than eighteen.
  • Second, allowing interaction between high school and postsecondary students increases the potential for mentoring and outreach. As institutions become more competitive, many are trying to attract high school students earlier, sometimes starting when they are freshmen.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Third, a secure multi-age virtual world would provide educators with a rich environment in which to study instructional practices.
  • Individuals using computer resources belonging to The University of Arizona must act in a responsible manner, in compliance with law and University policies, and with respect for the rights of others using a shared resource. The right of free expression and academic inquiry is tempered by the rights of others to privacy, freedom from intimidation or harassment, protection of intellectual property, ownership of data, and security of information.” Although this policy seems fairly straightforward, the ten “Acceptable Use Guidelines” meant to clarify this policy instead introduce confusion. For example, Guideline 3, which instructs the computer user to “clearly and accurately identify one's self in electronic communications,” adds: “Do not forge or misrepresent one's identity. Concealing or masking the identity of electronic communications such as altering the source of an email message by making it appear as if the message was sent by someone else is a violation of this policy.”14 So a student knows that altering the sender of an e-mail is against policy, but what about creating an avatar? And what about the faculty member who asks students to create an avatar with a totally fictitious name? Are the faculty member and the students in violation of this policy?
  • an instructional technologist at the University of Arizona,was supporting the implementation of Second Life in a General Education class. She was concerned about the interesting style of dress, or lack thereof, that is often seen in Second Life and felt she needed to develop a dress code for the virtual class.15 But when the vice-provost for instruction and I were discussing the process for modifying the current dress code of the university, we discovered that the university does not even have a dress code for everyday life.16
  • For example, at the University of Arizona, faculty have expressed frustration because they cannot learn how to sit down in virtual worlds or because they cannot figure out how to correctly set the hair on their avatar. Because of these frustrations, they tend not to invest the time needed to explore the world as an instructional resource. However, as the NMC’s Levine has pointed out: “In our first life, it generally takes us maybe eighteen years . . . to get to be fully functional adults. It’s an evolutionary process. A virtual world that had a short learning curve would be something not very interesting. So I think an ideal virtual world needs some of that complexity.”17 The challenge thus becomes how to select a virtual world that has the necessary complexity to keep users engaged while developing strategies and structures to support them as they learn.
  • Even more important is that if an institution wants to implement a virtual world of any type, it needs to convince faculty that the early adopters are, in fact, not all mad and that the tool does have value. Instruction may just be in a form with which the faculty is unfamiliar. Therefore the institution must begin by offering faculty, staff, and students the time and support to perform simple tasks like learning how to navigate the environment. Faculty must then be assisted in visualizing something outside of their understanding of what it means to be a teacher.
  • Perhaps as important as setting goals and providing resources is developing realistic assessments of the project’s success. For example, in a virtual world such as Second Life, what are the metrics that will be used to determine the institution’s return on investment?

  • Learning in virtual worlds
  • The notion of distance
  • Of the respondents 28 were female and two were male. The youngest respondent was born in 1984 and the oldest respondent was born in 1952. Half of the respondents were born before 1967.
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • Respondents didn’t feel that using the Second Life client was too difficult. The majority of the respondents answered that moving (73.3 percent) and navigating (66.7 percent) in Second Life was easy or fairly easy. Almost all of the respondents felt that it was easy to take part in Second Life–based lectures and discussions, and that they gained additional information from other students in discussions.
  • Respondents were asked to estimate the usability of Second Life as a learning environment by comparing it to other learning methods. When compared with face–to–face education, the respondents felt that learning in Second Life was somewhat more difficult. Face–to–face education was considered overall as a “better” (versus worse, as literally asked in the survey) form of education. But learning in Second Life was considered to be clearly more fun. Nevertheless, 60 percent of the respondents answered that lectures in Second Life could replace face–to–face lectures. This question raised strong opinions.
  • In addition, 83.3 percent of the respondents thought that the barrier to participate in discussions or to ask a question was lower in Second Life than in face–to–face lectures
  • When compared to Web–based learning platforms, Second Life was not considered to be neither easier nor more difficult. But even in this case, learning in Second Life was considered to be a lot more fun (a response from over half of the respondents). In contrast to the comparison with face–to–face education, Second Life was considered to be a “better” form of education than learning from Web–based learning platforms.
  • One–third of the respondents considered Second Life to be “better” — against 13.3 percent of the respondents that thought Second Life was “worse” — than Web–based learning platforms. The respondents graded a lecture in Second Life to be “better” than webcasting and discussion boards, almost as good as videoconferences, but clearly not as good as face–to–face lectures and meetings.
  • A question about how the students experienced the presence of other students gave very mixed answers. Compared to Web–based learning environments the interaction between the students was thought to be more comfortable by almost 50 percent of respondents. It was considered to enhance interaction and the feeling of presence was stronger. Most of the students (56.6 percent) felt that other students were actually present in the virtual classroom. The respondents said that it was “fun” to meet all of the other students in the same location without having to leave their homes and that the campus–like atmosphere made it feel “real”.
  • Second Life was also considered to be a functional environment for teamwork. Assignments that students resolved in teams were considered to be fun and productive. The respondents felt that their teams produced more than they would have done individually. Students also felt very strongly that they were part of the team (56.7 percent).
  • When the respondents were given a chance to freely express their opinions about their experiences in Second Life, it became apparent that using Second Life in education may even have somewhat surprising positive consequences. One of the respondents wrote that using Second Life in education had brought her closer to her 16–year–old son’s world.
  • Another surprising observation outside the survey was that some of the students used Second Life on their own time to improve their language skills. One of the students told us that she spent a lot of time in the French–speaking areas of Second Life exercising both her written and spoken French. This discovery strengthens our belief of the huge potential that Second Life has for language education, an area certainly requiring further research.
  • In general, Second Life was considered to enhance interaction between students and between the instructor and the students especially when compared to Web–based learning environments.
  • Provided that participating face–to–face education does not require too much traveling and learning outcomes are satisfactory, Second Life does not necessarily provide any significant benefits, at least not when using it only as a platform for lectures and teamwork.
  • When considering distance only as a physical measure of separation, Second Life provides a means to overcome it. The existence of multimodal and non–interfering means of communication and socialization by using chat, instant messages and voice calls in personal and group interaction provides users a wider range of possibilities to communicate than in face–to–face sessions. Of these varied means, each student can select an option one that feels most comfortable, an observation also made by Paquette–Frenette (2006). In this study, all of the students were participating at a distance through Second Life, avoiding problems noted in Paquette–Frenette (2006).
  • The mixed responses to questions about Second Life being comfortable or better than other environments of learning indicate a variety of emotional and cognitive reactions. This study did not give clear answers to the interplay of different distance variables (Nooteboom, 2000; Duval, 2006; Hargreaves, 2001; Garrison, et al., 2000) in Second Life–based learning. However, the results indicate that the feeling of presence and distance is a multidimensional issue that needs further attention in future studies.
  • In comparison to lectures, the benefits of using Second Life in teamwork were more obvious. The physical presence of avatars, the possibility to communicate in real time and the existence of a shared local space explain why Second Life produces a more realistic feel of presence than discussion forums or chat rooms. In a sense, Second Life brings distance education closer to face–to–face education, supporting Jones, et al. (2005). The strong feel of presence noted by respondents and the immersive nature of Second Life seem to do just that.

How to prevent breast cancer - 0 views

  •  
    One in six South African men and one in seven South African women will get cancer during their lives. It is a complex life-threatening condition that can affect people at any age and usually requires painful and uncomfortable treatment. Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body - the cancerous cells are also called malignant cells - and can develop in almost any organ or tissue, such as the lung, colon, breast, skin, bones, or nerve tissue. The symptoms of cancer depend on the type and location of the tumour: for example, lung cancer can cause coughing, shortness of breath, or chest pain, whereas colon cancer often causes diarrhoea, constipation, and blood in the stool. Whereas some people are genetically predisposed to certain types of cancer, most cancers are lifestyle-related (for example smoking, unhealthy diet) and can be prevented.
