shared by Merlyn Reyna on 23 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Briefly review subjects covered in last lesson: plagiarism, proper citation and paraphrasing, honesty and trustworthiness in school research and writing.
  • “Who owns copyrighted materials such as movies, music, and web pages?” Tell students that the copyright owner is the person who created the work, e.g. author, musician, artist, computer program/game creator, scientist-inventor, business person, etc.
  • Next ask the class if they are familiar with the Happy Birthday song. Inform them that this song is protected by copyright
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Copyright is a form of legal protection given to the authors of books, music, movies, etc. Users of the books may not make copies without permission from the authors except in limited occurrences for school and personal use where there is no profit involved. This limited use is known as Fair Use which we will talk about shortly.
  • The digital aspect of the web allows for wonderful innovations such as MP3 players but ethical personal use must be employed to avoid legal punishment.
  • The RIAA, the professional organization which represents the recording companies, (Recording Industry Association of America), has reacted with copyright infringement legal actions against schools and college students. Have you noticed the warnings posted on music CDs or movie DVDs?
  • Now there are more legal ways for music customers to purchase their music online with services such as iTunes, Rhapsody, amazon.com, etc. There are even some legitimate free music download examples. For example, some unknown bands may provide free previews online. While other more popular bands or singers may post a sample tune for fans to hear for free.
  • Copyright and Fair Use, inform the students that the expert speaker is an attorney that helps students and professors at a university to learn about the ethics and Fair Use guidelines of copying digital information such as music, movies, or web content for school.
  • Merlyn Reyna on 23 Feb 12
     
    This is a good example of how copyright is explained.  The comic shown in this article is very cute and original, gives us an idea of how we can copyright without knowing.

    D#7, HW#6-- I thought this website was useful because it had a LOT of information about copyrights and the internet. It discusses plagiarism, how long copyrights last, and even what you can and can not do when creating a webpage. Great information to know for Project #2.
  • Ariella Gabino on 06 Oct 11
     
    This web page does a great job at breaking it down simply. It explains what copyright is, how long it last, as well as what you can and cannot do with it. It specifically goes into what is copyrighted on the internet and what you can put on your page and what you cannot put on your page. This I believe would greatly benefit us for this class knowing what exactly we can and cannot do.

      Here is a discussion around group norms. The Team Writing text refers to communication norms in chapter 7. This is a group specific example on how to become familiar with differences within a group and use that as an advantage to succeed.
  • Develop Group Norms
  • Effective interpersonal communication among group members and successful communication with managers and employees external to the group are critical components of group functioning.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Form and charter a team with a project, process improvement, or product development task.
  • Read about group and team norms to understand the concept.
  • Schedule and hold a meeting to establish and adopt group relationship guidelines or group norms.
  • With an external facilitator leading, or a member of the group, in the absence of a facilitator, leading, all group members should brainstorm a list of guidelines that will help create an effective team.
  • Once the list of group norms is generated, you will want to cross redundant ideas off the list.
  • Each member of the group commits to “living” the guidelines.
  • Following the meeting, distribute the group norms to all team members.
  • Periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the group on achieving its business goals as well as its members’ relationship goals.

    This page describes methods of organization and repetition. It's the rinse and repeat method that keeps the post system in order. It tells you to wait to post until a specified time, and while your blog draft is saved if something comes up you can add to or modify your blog.

Flow TWC301

shared by Shannon Ridgeway on 17 Jun 11 - Cached
  • Flow is the way your eye moves or is led through a composition. While most of us will naturally move from one element to another in our own fashion, a designer can control to some extent where the eye moves next.
  • Verbal Flow – the path taken when reading text on the page Visual Flow – the path taken when looking at images and graphics on the page
  • To make copy easier to read you can: Develop a consistent typographic style across your site – Be consistent with your use of font size, face, and color Choose a font for your copy that is easy to read – Your copy is not the place for a fancy font Remember the principle of proximity – Place headings close to the text they refer to, captions close to images. Organize your text elements so it’s clear what goes with what Watch the width of columns – Don’t make columns to wide or too narrow as each hinders reading Develop a vertical rhythm in your type – Use consistent line heights and vertical margins and paddings
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Again a consistent typographic style and a grid-based layout help maintain the pattern and strengthen the flow of your site.
  • Many images have a direction. An arrow, a hand pointing, a face looking in one direction. Your eye will speed up or slow down depending on the direction it was moving when it fell on the image.
  • Use the direction of images to control the the speed and direction of flow Create barriers when you want to reverse the eyes direction Create open paths to allow easy movement through your design Use contrasting colors and shapes to pull the eye
  • Assuming a left to right reading direction as in English, the natural visual flow for people will be a backwards “S” pattern. You can alter that natural pattern with the images you use, where you place those images, and how images, graphics, and text are mixed on the page.
  • Through good flow you can lead the eye from element to element

    Interesting take on flow in design. Definitely worth reading. I like the information and felt that this could be very helpful in creating pages.

    This is a great website that illustrates how important flow is design. It was my favorite of all the pages I visited It gives a great definition of design flow, as well as the 2 kinds of flow (takes examples straight out of Basics of Design). It then goes on and explains how to improve your verbal and visual flow in your work.

    D#7, HW#1-- This is a great website when discussing visual and verbal flow like the book with Chapter 7. Firstly, it explains what visual flow and verbal flow exactly are so that you know where you're starting off, which I really enjoy in a website. Then, the website gives you visual examples of how to improve your current design or document.
  • Briseida Aguirre on 05 Oct 11
     
    This website is good because it gives you a scenario of something you can relate to then it gives you an explanation of both visual and verbal. Then it gives you suggestions on how to improve your work that has to do with visual and verbal flow .
  • Merlyn Reyna on 21 Feb 12
     
    Flow is the way the audience's eyes move through out the design. Its a lead from one element to another. Verbal flow is more like a path that leads you to the next reading text on a separate page. This article is really helpful way to improve "Flow" and provides examples for flow. 
  • Jordin Mitton on 22 Feb 12
     
    This is a good website to help you understand what flow is and the different types of flow. It talks about verbal flow and visual flow. It also goes on to explain how to improve your verbal flow and your visual flow.
  • Bethany Jorgensen on 22 Feb 12
     
    This webpage incorporates more details about many key aspects of flow that were also mentioned in chapter seven. There are tips to improving visual and verbal flow within a page and also how to add flow across an entire site involving many pages.
