2. Neural is a computer system modeled on the
human brain and nervous system.
While Social networking is the practice of
expanding the number of one's business
and/or social contacts by making connections
through individuals, often through social
media sites such as Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram and Google +.

3. Neural networks (also referred to
as connectionist systems) are a computational
approach, which is based on a large collection
of neural units (AKA artificial neurons), loosely
modeling the way a biological brain solves
problems with large clusters of biological
neurons connected by axons.

4. The school can enjoy linkages and networking
activities with international, national and local
organizations in the community for mutual
benefits and assistance needed.
Linkage and networking are different in the
degree of commitment by the partners.

5. In linkage, the relationship between partner
organizations is quite loose, while in
networking, it is much stronger, usually
because the groups and agencies have
common objectives and beneficiaries.
Networking is basically extending the outreach
of the resources in different ways so as to
increase the effectiveness of the program.

6. Networks
 A relationship structure wherein the
members of the network are able to share
resources with one another.
 A network is composed of several
institutions (consortium) of several colleges
of different universities that bind together
for a common goal.
 Work together to attain common objectives,
undertake innovative practices and update
members regarding breakthrough in
different disciplines.

7. Kinds of Networks:
1. Human Network
2. Knowledge Network
3. Computer Network
4. Trade Network
5. Ecological Network

8. Linkages
 Intends to serve members of both sides
according to their respective needs,
interest, and objectives
 Create bonds together to solicit support
and assistance for purposeful activities

9. National and Local Linkages
 It is established between universities and
colleges offering identical degrees in which
cross-enrolment for subjects needed for
graduation is allowed
 It is also a joint researches that could be
conducted by two or three universities
depending on their field of expertise

11. Networks can be considered as linkages if they link one
network to another creating a bigger network.

12. 3 Main Categories of Linkages
1. Bonds – links to people based on a sense of
common identity.
Ex. Family, close friends, people who share
our culture and ethnicity
2. Bridges – links that stretch beyond a shared
sense of identity.
Ex. Distant friends, colleagues, and
associates
3. Linkages – links to people of groups further
up and down the social ladder.

13. Social Network
Social networking is the practice of expanding
the number of one's business and/or social
contacts by making connections through
individuals, often through social media sites
such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and
Google+.

14. Based on the six degrees of separation concept
(the idea that any two people on the planet
could make contact through a chain of no more
than five intermediaries), social networking
establishes interconnected online communities
(sometimes known as social graphs) that help
people make contacts that would be good for
them to know, but that they would be unlikely
to have met otherwise.

15. Depending on the social media platform,
members may be able to contact any other
member. In other cases, members can contact
anyone they have a connection to, and
subsequently anyone that contact has a
connection to, and so on. Some services
require members to have a preexisting
connection to contact other members.

16. While social networking has gone on almost
as long as societies themselves have existed,
the unparalleled potential of the Web to
facilitate such connections has led to an
exponential and ongoing expansion of that
phenomenon. In addition to social media
platforms, the capacity for social interaction
and collaboration is increasingly built into
business applications.
