Final(ly)!

As someone who prefers physical interactions and face-to-face teaching and learning, I’m honestly glad that this module has come to an end. The 12 days gave me a taste of how living and working online is like, which might not actually be a bad idea after all especially in this increasingly digitalized world. Continue reading →

Reflection on Topic 5

My comments on Karise’s and Teresa’s blog From my peers’ posts, it seems that the top reason for open access is learning. However, in both education and business contexts, there is no free; it’s just a matter of who’s the payer. Where one gains, the other loses. I’m supportive though, of open access for educational purposes. I think the major problem of introducing paid contents lies in the lack of mutual understanding. Continue reading →

+ & – of free access online

Digital content producers, in my personal opinion, could include anyone who creates and posts meaningful and valuable text, graphics, videos, audio, or other contents online. Typical examples include online journalists, media companies, researchers, and independent designers and artists. Due to the broadness of the topic, this post spotlights the media context.

Social Media The Root of Ethical Issues?

My comments on Maureen’s and Jef’s blog Everyone may perceive the importance of various ethical issues differently according to their moral compass, but all unethical issues must be addressed in order for the web and social media platforms to be safe for freedom of expression, and information-sharing. Across the blogs I read, Jef’s and Lelia’s posts stood out to me most, both highlighting on the issue of customers’ privacy invasion. Continue reading →

Topic 4

There are so much that businesses can achieve from the use of social media, from raising brand awareness, reducing marketing costs, to ultimately using these platforms to grow customer relationships. However, to achieve all of these and appeal to customers, companies sometimes filter out negative comments on their profiles, create false accounts to write positive reviews or attack competitors, or buy likes.

Reflection on Topic 3

My comments on Renee’s (awaiting approval) and Norman’s blog Particularly from Renee’s post, it occurred to me if there could ever be a compromise between a professional digital profile and authenticity. How is an online professional profile that is strategically designed to show only what employers want to see authentic? An online professional profile could be authentic still, because whatever stated could be true except that it only shows the positive side of someone. Continue reading →

Reflection on Topic 2

My comments on Beatrice’s and Brenden’s blog I might have been too engrossed in making my stance for having more than one online identity and neglected some critical pitfalls that many of my peers have covered about issues of anonymity and authenticity resulting in cyber-bullying and frauds. There also seems to be concerns about ruining employment opportunities if multiple identities are not managed properly. Continue reading →

What’s wrong with having more than one online identity?

Is having more than one identity online a personal choice or do people have multiple identities online because it’s necessary? I’d say the latter. The complexities are: 1. humans have as many personalities as the number of situations they are in (William James) we behave differently depending on the context and purpose, and the fact that we’re always changing, we can’t always be fixated to that one single identity 2.
