WEEK 1-SHOWROOMING
• Showrooming is when a customer goes
to a store to look at a product, then
purchases the item online, usually for a
lower price.
• 50% percent of online sales are driven
by showrooming and luxury items.
• Consumer electronics are the most
commonly showroomed products.
WEEK 1- HOW I LEARN BEST
• Hands on activities are how I learn
best. I am a visual learner, so I retain
information better when I am given
something to look at, rather than
listening to a concept.
WEEK 2- HOW CAN YOU PREVENT
DIGITAL WILDFIRES?
• Social media can rapidly spread information that is either
intentionally or unintentionally misleading or provocative.
• What could be done to protect against the risk of digital
wildfires? Many jurisdictions already have laws that limit
freedom of speech in the real world for reasons such as
incitement of violence or panic, and are grappling with how to
apply those laws to online activities.
• Build internet firewalls to prevent digital wildfires from
occurring. Only the users of the internet users can do this!
WEEK 2- MOOC
• MOOC or“Massive Open Online Course” that anyone with an Internet
connection can attend for free.
• MOOCs typically do not offer credits awarded to paying students at
schools. However, assessment of learning may be done for certification.
• Participants do not need to be a registered student in a school to "take" a
MOOC, and are not required to pay a fee.
• MOOCs can also serve as a potential networking hub for people interested
in the topic of the courses being taught.
WEEK 3- INNOVATION
• The process of translating an idea or invention into a good or service that
creates value or for which customers will pay.
• To be called an innovation, an idea must be replicable at an economicalcost

deriving greater or different values from resources, and includes all
processes by which new ideas are generated and converted into useful
products.

WEEK5-OPEN SOURCE
TEXTBOOKS
• An open textbook is a textbook licensed under an open
copyright license, and made available online to be freely used
by students, teachers and members of the public.
• Many open textbooks are distributed in other printed, e-book,
or audio formats that m
• Overall, open textbooks have been found by the Student
PIRGs to offer 80% or more savings to higher education
students over traditional textbook publishers.
WEEK5-ACCESS
• Microsoft Access is the database application from the
Microsoft Office Suite of applications. It is a powerful
personal database and data manipulation tool that is also
widely used in many small businesses.
• A communications program from Microsoft, meant to
compete with ProComm and other programs. It sucked and
was dropped. Years later they reused the name for their
database.
• Access tables support a variety of standard field types, indices,
and referential integrity
WEEK6-HUMAN RIGHTS
• Microsoft recognizes that as a leading technology provider
with global operations, our business can help to promote
human rights.
• Our approach to human rights is aligned with the UN Guiding
Principles for Business and Human Rights.
• 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.
WEEK6-JQUERY MOBILE
• A unified, HTML5-based user interface system for all popular mobile
device platforms, built on the rock-solid jQuery and jQuery UI foundation.
• Its lightweight code is built with progressive enhancement, and has a
flexible, easy design.
• Some examples are listed below
WEEK7-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.
WEEK7-GOOGLE APPLICATIONS

essential services to help your business.
• This is a hosted service that lets businesses, schools, and institutions use a

WEEK8-GEOLOCATION
• Geolocation is the identification of the real-world geographic
location of an object, such as a radar, mobile phone or an internetconnected computer terminal.
Geolocation may refer to the practice of assessing the location, or to the
actual assessed location rather than geographic coordinates.
WEEK8-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.
WEEK9-SPAM
• Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems to send bulk messages,
mostly advertising, indiscriminately.

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.
WEEK10-SECURITY
• Many web developers consider security a low priority. Security is frequently
relegated to the end of the software development life cycle, as little more
than an afterthought. Sometimes, software security is neglected entirely,
resulting in applications rife with common vulnerabilities.
• Because such bugs might manifest only under conditions present during an
attack, they can be hard to detect prior to such events without knowledge
of how the exploitation process works.
• Using a web application built with jQuery Mobile, PHP, and MySQL, this
tutorial shows how many types of vulnerabilities occur along with
common methods of exploitation and, most importantly, their respective
countermeasures
WEEK10-STANDARDIZATION
• In jQuery Mobile, you can use existing and new HTML5 input types such
as password, email, tel, number, and more. Some type values are rendered
differently across browsers — for example, Chrome displays the range
input renders as a slider — so we standardize their appearance by
dynamically changing their type to text (currently, this applies to range and
search). You can configure which input types are degraded to text with the
page plugin's options.
• One major advantage of using these more specific input types if that on
mobile devices, specialized keyboards that speed data entry are offered in
place of the standard text keyboard. Try the following inputs on a mobile
device to see which display custom keyboards on various platforms.
WEEK12-ZILLOW.COM
• Zillow is an online real estate database that was founded in
2005 by Rich Barton and Lloyd Frink, former Microsoft
executives and founders of Microsoft spin-off Expedia.
WEEK12-PRIVACY
• Internet privacy involves the right or mandate of personal privacy
concerning the storing, repurposing, providing to third-parties, and
displaying of information pertaining to oneself via the Internet. Privacy
can entail either Personally Identifying Information (PII) or non-PII
information such as a site visitor's behavior on a website.
• PII refers to any information that can be used to identify an individual. For
example, age and physical address alone could identify who an individual is
without explicitly disclosing their name, as these two factors are unique
enough to typically identify a specific person.
WEEK13-IPHONE 5S
• is a touchscreen-based smartphone developed by Apple Inc.
• It is the sixth generation of the iPhone and succeeds the iPhone 4S.
WEEK13-INSTAGROK.COM
• Online research and learning tool that allows users to search for
educational content and visualize relationships with materials of related
topics
WEEK14-ESSAY GRADING
SOFTWARE
• This software will take a 100 of the professors already graded essay’s and
compare the rest using a new software. The grading is based on technique,
grammar, spelling, and plagiarism.
• Although proven useful, most professors do not trust it because language
is an interpretation of thought and emotion, and a machine is not capable
of either thought nor emotion.
WEEK 14-USHAHIDI
• Ushahidi is an open source project which allows users to crowd source
crisis information to be sent via mobile. It is intended for sending
information for collection, interaction, and visualization purposes and
makes communication easier.
