SOCIETAL TOPICS

WEEK 1 - WHAT IS SHOWROOMING ?
Showrooming is when a shopper visits a store to
look for a product but then purchases the product
online for a cheaper price.
An example of this can be a customer going to the
Apple Store to look for an iPhone case. The shopper
finds the case they like and then goes on Amazon
and buys the product for more than 50% off.
WEEK 1 - HOW I LEARN BEST:
Visual learning is how I learn best. Hands-on
activities help me understand the task or concept
rather than taking notes and hearing a lecture for
over an hour in class.
WEEK 2 – PREVENTING DIGIT IAL WILDFIRES:
Social media can rapidly spread information that is
either intentionally or unintentionally misleading or
provocative.
We need to build digital firewalls to contain the
risk of misleading information so we cannot spread
the word like a wildfire.
WEEK 2- MOOC:
MOOC stands for a massive open online course
Type of online course aimed at large-scale
participation and open access via the web
MOOCs are a recent development in the area of
distance education.
WEEK 3 – INNOVATION:
Innovation is the development of new customers
value through solutions that meet new needs,
inarticulate needs, or old customer and market
needs in value adding new ways. This is
accomplished through more
effective products, processes, services, technologies,
or ideas that are readily available
to markets, governments, and society.
WEEK 3 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY:
IP is divided into two categories: Industrial
property, which includes inventions (patents),
trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic
indications of source; and Copyright, which includes
literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and
plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as
drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures,
and architectural designs.
WEEK 4 – COPYRIGHT, OSS & EPIC:
Societal topic of the week
WEEK 5 – OPEN SOURCE TEXTB OOKS
Hate paying thousands for your required readings?
Give free open source textbooks a try. A growing
number of authors are publishing their writings
online and allowing students to download them
without paying a dime. Many online instructors are
beginning to select open source textbooks rather
than forcing their students to pay for costly
traditional materials.
WEEK 5 - ACCESS
What’s new in Access 2013? In a word, apps. An
Access web app is a new type of database that you
build in Access, then use and share with others as a
SharePoint app in a web browser. To build an app,
you just select the type of data you want to track
(contacts, tasks, projects, and so on). Access creates
the database structure, complete with views that let
you add and edit data. Navigation and basic
commands are built-in, so you can start using your
app right away.
WEEK 6 – HUMAN RIGHTS
Our commitment to respect fundamental human rights of our employees, people
working for our suppliers, and our customers reflects Microsoft’s company
mission to help people and businesses throughout the world realize their full
potential.
Microsoft recognizes that as a leading technology provider with global
operations, our business can help to promote – or be used to impede – human
rights. Our approach to human rights is aligned with the UN Guiding Principles
for Business and Human Rights and we accept the important responsibility we
have to respect human rights and we aid to bring the power of technology to bear
to promote respect for human rights throughout the world.
WEEK 6 - JQUERY
jQuery mobile framework takes the "write less, do
more" mantra to the next level: Instead of writing
unique apps for each mobile device or OS, the
jQuery mobile framework allows you to design a
single highly-branded web site or application that
will work on all popular smartphone, tablet, and
desktop platforms.
WEEK 7 – INTERNET GOVERNANCE
Internet governance is the development and
application of shared principles, norms, rules,
decision-making procedures, and programs that
shape the evolution and use of the Internet.
WEEK 7 – GOOGLE APPLICATIONS
Google Apps is a suite of Google applications that
brings together essential services to help your
business. This is a hosted service that lets
businesses, schools, and institutions use a variety of
Google products -- including Email, Google Docs,
Google Calendar, and Google Talk -- on a unique
domain.
WEEK 8 - GEOLOCATION
Geolocation is the identification of the real-
world geographic location of an object, such as
a radar, mobile phone or an internet-connected
computer terminal.
Geolocation may refer to the practice of
assessing the location, or to the actual assessed
location rather than geographic coordinates.
WEEK 8 – NET NEUTRALITY
When we log onto the Internet, we take lots of things for
granted. We assume that we'll be able to access whatever Web
site we want, whenever we want to go there.
What makes all these assumptions possible is "Network
Neutrality," the guiding principle that preserves the free and
open Internet. Net Neutrality means that Internet service
providers may not discriminate between different kinds of
content and applications online. It guarantees a level playing field
for all Web sites and Internet technologies.
WEEK 9 - SPAM
Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems to
send bulk messages, mostly advertising,
indiscriminately.
While the most widely recognized form of spam is
e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in
other media.
WEEK 9 – OFFICE LIVE
Microsoft Office Live is a discontinued web-
based service providing document sharing and
website creation tools for consumers and small
businesses. Office Live consisted of two
services, Office Live Workspace, which was
superseded by SkyDrive, and Office Live Small
Business, which was superseded by Office 365.
WEEK 10 - JQUERY MOBILE SECURITY
With the rise of smart phones and similar devices, web
application security has been broadened to include mobile
applications. Because of the constraints imposed by the
interfaces of many such devices, developers sometimes work
with the flawed assumption that client-side input validation is
sufficient for protection against attacks. With sensitive data
sometimes stored on devices and the servers that they use,
the protection of users from black-hat hackers is critical. The
following types of vulnerabilities are covered:
Cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery, broken
access control, SQL injection, file inclusion, OS command
injection, scripting language injection and arbitrary file
creation
WEEK 10 - STANDARDIZATION
Is the process of developing and implementing technical standards. The goals
of right standardization can be to help with independence of single suppliers
(commoditization), compatibility, interoperability, safety, repeatability, or
quality.
In social sciences, including economics, the idea of standardization is close to
the solution for a coordination problem, a situation in which all parties can
realize mutual gains, but only by making mutually consistent decisions.
Standardization is defined as best technical application consensual wisdom
inclusive of processes for selection in making appropriate choices for
ratification coupled with consistent decisions for maintaining obtained
standards.
WEEK 12 – ZILLOW.COM
Zillow is a home and real estate marketplace
dedicated to helping homeowners, home buyers,
sellers, renters, real estate agents, mortgage
professionals, landlords and property managers find
and share vital information about homes, real estate
and mortgages. We are transforming the way
consumers make home-related decisions and connect
with real estate professionals.
WEEK 12 – PRIVACY
Privacy.net provides information and tips about Privacy. Read about
credit reports, identity theft, Internet privacy and more. Demonstrations
of your Internet connection and Internet cookies have been recently
updated.
EXAMPLE - Password security is becoming a major problem as hackers
break into web sites to collect passwords. Do you reuse your passwords
such as using your Facebook or game site password for your bank
account? Can you remeber different long and complicated passwords for
each web site? Privacy.net has reviewed a complety free password “safe”
called KeePass.
WEEK 13- IPHONE 5S
Apple has been expected to introduce fingerprint-
scanning technology since it acquired biometrics
firm AuthenTec last year.

geospatial visualization of where major
groups/resources exist on [human] trafficking, as

on trafficking and risk areas. Ushahidi allows us to
do just that.

crowdsource information using multiple channels,
including SMS, email, Twitter and the web.
