Business Tactics For A Recessed Economy
Maintaining Focus In A Struggling Economy

2. Business as Usual
My learning course is Business Tactics for a Recessed
Economy- Maintaining Focus in a Struggling Financial System. A
business leader or manager would benefit from my training.
For example, it would take a person that is trying to drive a
business to implement the provided ideas. I chose my
learning scenario because it is a real world situation that
more than ever needs to be implemented to a fading
economy.

3. Facebook Engagement
The promotion of my lesson on Facebook was supported by
sending out invites to friends to take my course using Udutu
Teach. Invites were sent to my friends in Facebook, but I did
not get any curious course takers before my deadline of
tonight. This was a task that I took upon myself to check the
availability by taking the course to get the only test result for
my assignment. When you see some of the students reports,
you may see my name on their reports because I took some
of my classmate’s courses. My report is on the next page, it
has one score which is my score.

6. Education in the Future
The learning transaction as a structured conversation
between teacher and student for a specified purpose. This
involves five kinds of “conversations” between teacher and
learner: telling, showing, asking, responding, and giving
feedback. (Gilbert, 2005). With the help of technological based
learning tools the model of teaching has become even easier
to implement to eager minds. The learning platform relies or
partly relies on web based presentation and distribution of
educational content that requires communication between
learner and teacher via computer.
The growing market of Course Management Systems (CMS)
provides easy to use, template-based designs that will be a
part of this growing need to reduce costs offering a simple to
learn and easy to use course authoring environment (McGee,
2005). Just recently, the learning environment has been faced
with a growing requirement, which is rapidly, developing new
software applications that can keep up with the sophistication
among today’s clients.

7. The Future of Education
The Semantic Web Framework (the intelligent web) allows
data to be shared and revised across application, enterprise,
and community boundaries (Fiegenbaum,2008). The main goal
of this system is to link communities worldwide and provide
easy access to the full range of intellectual resources such as
library materials, research facilities, and colloquia (McGee,
2005). Colloquia was the first peer to peer learning system
that provided an environment where learners could
communicate with others in the process of learning. This type
of learning provides an effective environment for individuals
to come together and combine ideas. Giving this type of
ownership to the learner will allow them to make decisions
and provide opportunities for independent or collaborative
thinking and reflection. The next generation of CMS must be a
engine framework that can think, reason, and ultimately make
decisions based on the preferences of an individual user.

8. The Future with Web 3.0
The future for the web will be Web 3.0, the advent of a
brave prototype where we will interact and solve problems
together through a network. The platform will bring together
advanced technologies that include the semantic web, adaptive
data mining, and shared micro-tasking where all of us will build
the next layer of intelligence into the web with new
integrated tools for social networking.(Web 3.0, 2006) Thus
relieving all of the burdened and bogged down individuals with
the scheduling, management, and coordination of work
between people; much of which is unnecessary duplication of
effort. One of the huge benefits of Web 3.0 will be:
virtualization of software development and the modularizing
of human intelligence will be automated cataloging and reuse
of solutions(Web 3.0, 2006).
In conclusion, Web 3.0 will be the answer for schools,
companies, and professionals as this will allow us to truly
leverage the skills and talents of every individual and
distribute those skills at light speed on a global scale.

9. Implications for
Thesis Development
This Month Ten course was very exciting and fundamental
to my next step of learning with Full Sail. I thought the
readings this month gave a great background for Learning
Management Systems (LMS) that can be applied to my thesis
writings. I especially liked the Udutu Project because it is the
type of learning activity that I wanted to try and create for my
thesis project. For instance, there were some things that I
wanted to do with Dreamweaver application that Udutu
made easy and readily available during the construction of my
LMS.
