    This website goes over and adds to some important concepts already covered in chapter 6 of the text. Added to some ideas about repetition different ways to use it and how to create it in text and images. Repetition is key to creating unity and consistency in design which is important when trying to grasp a readers attention.

    D#6, HW#1-- I liked this website because I have also used it a previous time for balance, so it helps when they continue one from where you were left off. It gives you the chance to see the document being used go through a complete transformation with all of the design elements. They discuss repeating colors and fonts, and then discuss about repeating aesthetics.

    D#5, HW#1- I enjoyed this website for multiple reasons. First of all, I enjoy websites that start off defining the design element. In this case, alignment. Then, it continues on with examples of documents and even different real life examples including the benefits of the alignment changes. It compares before images with the after images just like the book does also.

  • The distinction between fair use and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined. There is no specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission.
  • Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining permission.
  • The safest course is always to get permission from the copyright owner before using copyrighted material. The Copyright Office cannot give this permission.

  • When it is impracticable to obtain permission, use of copyrighted material should be avoided unless the doctrine of fair use would clearly apply to the situation.

    This showcases the four different elements that the federal government has indicated legally make up the idea or concept of fair use of material. Knowing these rules is especially important for students in this ever growing informational age to assure that they are properly representing work.

    It's ironic that the "distinction between fair use and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined" but you have to make sure if you use something that you haven't obtained permission for that the "doctrine of fair use [must] CLEARLY apply."

    This site appears to host the definitive documentation and rules on the U.S. copyright system. This link is to what would appear to be a simple one page description on the issue, but I think it really shows how confusing and fuzzy the subject can be.

    This is information about fair use as stated in the government law of copyright. This whole website can let the viewer know exactly what they can and can't do. Also know the concequences that a person can go through if they break the copyright law.
  • Diana Inzunza on 04 Oct 11
     
    This site was interesting because it broke down what fair use was and made it easier to understand. For example, Fair use lists various purposes for which reproduction of a particular work is fair, like criticism, comments, reporting, teaching, and research.
  • Leslie Lopez on 23 Feb 12
     
    I liked this webpage because it went more in depth about Fair Use. It presented the four factors that can be used to determine where or not the use of the copyrighted material is fair. I thought it was good that this webpage stated that it is always safer to get permission from the copyright owner NOT the copyright office.

Chapter 12 instant messaging

shared by Tana Ingram on 01 Oct 10 - No Cached
  • According to America Online’s most recent survey, 26 percent of its users use IM at work. Of that 26 percent, 58 percent use IM to communicate with colleagues, and 49 percent use it to get answers and make business decisions.1
  • IM allows users to transfer files and images, which can be dangerous. IM was originally designed for entertainment purposes. The software did not take into account the possible transfer of sensitive data such as electronic personal health information.
  • IM software has a very basic technology structure, which creates many security issues.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Managing records of IM chats is tricky and exists in a gray area legally. Are IM chats part of daily business records and thus the patient’s record? Depending on the content of the discussion, certain messages may need to be kept. Activity that contains electronic personal health information or involves a patient and that’s passed between users should be logged and audited.
  • The reality for many organizations is that IM is already in use, regardless of the threats involved
  • To IM or not to IM, that is the question. IM has its advantages and disadvantages. Do the risks outweigh the benefits or do the benefits outweigh the risks? Every organization should carefully consider both when deciding whether or not to use IM.
  • Tana Ingram on 01 Oct 10
     
    This is an interesting article about the pros and cons of IM's in the health care industry. It's funny how everything seems to come back to legal issues these days.

    Religious Tolerance is good website to get information about all types of religions from all over the world. This is meant to help people achieve tolerance to other individual's believes, yet it discuses the points of views of anyone who visits and leaves comments. It could be a good source to, hopefully, both achieve tolerance and research how other religions see the world. This is a good source for transnational communication and considering your audiences' believes.

    This is my favorite online writing resource by far. Purdue created an interactive module that you can go through to learn several different formats of writing. This covers APA, MLA, and CMS styles of writing and also has numerous tutorials on general writing, teaching, research, job search writing and more. The module that most concerns our project is the Visual Rhetoric module. It gives ideas on how to apply colors, visuals, fonts, and designs to incorporate into displays.

    I love this website because it has something for just about anyone. I use this resource for work, helping my kids with their homework and my own homework. It has so many resources and with the different writing styles it covers helps with the different professors that I have worked with. This site will help me with Project 1 to use proper grammar and writing mechanics.

      Looks a lot like the PSA. Workplace problems will arise int the workplace and when the do the proper actions and documentations has to be taken as it says in step 8. This is a fun comparison and something to think about.
  • Valerie Cooper on 07 Feb 10
     
    Hi Norma, This is the website for me! You are correct that workplace problems will arise as long as humans work. It is not always easy knowing what the proper way is to resolve problems. If we handle them incorrectly, they lead to even bigger problems yikes. So I read through this entire website and I learned a lot from it. I will be using this a lot with regards to my work (and the not-so-nice-politics that goes on in it, unfortunately). Thanks for sharing this valuable resource. ---Valerie Cooper
