I'm a so-so fan of Skype. I've used it on an infrequent basis and have had more than a few dropped calls. Audio and video alike. However, it's a cheap way to make long distance calls and seems to work better over wi-fi and the video quality is improving on a regular basis. So therefore it's probably a great tool for the classroom. But how can you use Skype to do more than just make calls? Well, there's a pantload of interesting ways! Check out these fun ideas: Collaborate! Meet with other classrooms: One of the most common projects educators utilize Skype for is setting up exchanges with classrooms around the world, usually for cultural exchange purposes or working together on a common assignment. The program's official site provides some great opportunities to meet up with like-minded teachers and students sharing the same goals. Practice a foreign language: Connect with individual learners or classrooms hailing from a different native tongue can use a Skype collaboration to sharpen grammar and pronunciation skills through conversation. Peace One Day: Far beyond classroom collaborations, the Peace One Day initiative teamed up with Skype itself and educators across the globe to teach kids about the importance of ending violence, war, and other social ills. Around the World with 80 Schools: This challenge asks participating schools to hook up with 80 worldwide and report back what all they've learned about other cultures and languages. Talk about the weather: One popular Skype project sees participants from different regions make note of the weather patterns for a specified period of time, with students comparing and contrasting the results. Collaborative poetry: In this assignment, connected classrooms pen poetic pieces together and share them via video conferencing. Practice interviews: The education system frequently receives criticism for its failure to prepare students for the real world, but using Skype to help them run through mock-up

" Boundary object (BO), originally introduced by Starr (1989), is a concept to refer to objects that serve an interface between different communities of practice. Boundary objects are an entity shared by several different communities but viewed or used differently by each of them. As Star points out, boundary objects in an organization work because they necessarily contain sufficient detail to be understandable by both parties, however, neither party is required to understand the full context of use by the other - boundary objects serve as point of mediation and negotiation around intent. Boundary objects are flexible enough to adapt to local needs and have different distinct identities in different communities, but at the same time robust enough to maintain a common identity across the boundaries to be a place for shared work. Boundary objects are not necessarily physical artifacts such as a map between two people: they can be a set of information, conversations, interests, rules, plans, contracts, or even persons. It is around BOs that Communities of Practice (CoPs) often gather. BOs are 'used' by members of different communities in very different ways, although the representation is shared. BOs are an important class of knowledge artifacts. They are center stage in the dynamics of knowledge exchange. BOs are also known as CISs (common information spaces). Examples: Reports are a classic example of traces as boundary objects that the professionals and other members share. Faxed documents and email massages are also the boundary object among distributed members. Information spaces, where particpants gather to exchange information, co-ordinate activites and create knowledge are another example of BOs A library catalog, an order entry process, travel assistance request form, an organizational knowledge map, i.e. one of the products from your knowledge mapping project! Mapping BOs: Boundary objects are a very useful way to structure and

IDENTITY AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT Identity and access management (IAM) is a collective term that covers merchandise, processes, and policies for managing user identities and regulating user access in the company. Access and User are two very important IAM theories. Access refers to the permission or authorization given to access a file (read, create or modify a doc). Users can be employers, auditors, suppliers, contractors or customers. How Identity and Access Management works IAM systems are intended to perform three key undertakings: identity, authenticate, and authorise. This means, just the right people ought to access PCs, equipment, software applications, any IT assets, or perform certain tasks. IAM components forming up an IAM system include: 1. A data set containing users identities and access privileges. 2. IAM instruments for creating, observing, modifying, and deleting access advantages. 3. A system for inspecting login and access history. 4. The list of access privileges needs to be updated including new entry users and for users whose roles are ever-changing. 5. IAM works generally fall under IT divisions or sectors that handle Cybersecurity and data management. Examples of Identity and Access management Here are instances of IAM at work. When a user tries to log in to the system, the system checks his identity with the data saved in the database. Once the user is identified after authentication as the right user, he's permitted to post his work. A person who works as a contributor to content management has full access to make changes in the database. A production operator can see an online work process however may not be permitted to modify it. Through IAM, specific clients in the association are permitted to access and deal with sensitive data. And if there's no IAM, anybody (like unauthorised ) could get to confidential organization records, prompting a potential data breach. In this viewpoint, IAM assists organizations with meeting rigid
