Why did you choose the module?<\/b><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I am studying Computer Science at University of Southampton. Thus, I came from the field of programming, where the creation of applications is more important than their social impact. By taking this course I wanted to improve my social influence of online services, a part which was not touched during my studies. I have created many online projects (from simple websites to complex web applications for data mining). It is important for me to understand the consequences of the social media, the tools to maintain the human contact on the online environment.<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><b>Q2.

I have started last year with a course offered by Edx.org<br \/><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">&nbsp;<\/span>&nbsp;through Harvard University. Being a fresher at that time, it was a great opportunity for me, to understand the content&nbsp;which is taught at one of the best universities in the world. Not only that I have finished with 100%, but I also got a diploma signed by the teacher Dr. David J. Malan. Moreover, Coursera, another big open course provider, gave me the possibility to explore the courses from many universities and to improve my knowledge. I have attached a record of the courses which I took using Coursera (see Figure 1).<\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto;

It is important for people   who&nbsp; visit my blog to have access to   all my online activity<o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border-top: none; border: solid windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-border-top-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; padding: 0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; width: 154.8pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"206\">\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/about.me\/cristian.sima\" >About.me<\/a><o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"border-bottom: solid windowtext 1.0pt; border-left: none; border-right: solid windowtext 1.0pt; border-top: none; mso-border-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-border-left-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-border-top-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; padding: 0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; width: 154.8pt;\" valign=\"top\" width=\"206\">\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;\">I did not have an account.

I really enjoy&nbsp;taking online courses because in my opinion this type of learning highlights the interactivity between the colleges and it offers you more knowledge than a standard one. When I had to choose the optional module, I was wondering to take this module about social media. In my view at that time, the course was not teaching me something practical, as I was used to do in my degree. Now, after all the topics and having gained a lot of practical knowledge, I feel I did the right choice because the skill which I have gained in this module help me to be a more sociable person.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody><\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">Firstly, I think the main benefit of taking this course is that it made to understand not only the importance of the social media for this modern world, but to enjoy being an active online person. Twitter and LinkedIn were for me just a waste of time, because I did not see their important role. After taking this course, I now feel more confident and I have learnt how to use them for me. Twitter is now for me an everyday provider of actual events or news, whereas LinkedIn acts like a personal CV where the people who know me can confirm my skills. LinkedIn made me to be more ambitious and to try to study more, to take more courses in order to improve my profile. As a consequence of this, I was very proud to add, in the certification section on LinkedIn, the statement of achievement offered by Coursera for my last course (Figure 2).<\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp; &nbsp;<o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/profile\/view?id=231448669&amp;trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile_pic\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" class=\"border\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-9W7PA8S7E1Q\/U3plSxJVOWI\/AAAAAAAAAKY\/7SldAAzKkgc\/s1600\/a.PNG\" height=\"371\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/profile\/view?id=231448669&amp;trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile_pic\" >Figure 2 &#8211; Section of&nbsp;Certifications on LinkedIn<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">Furthermore, being more open to new tools is another positive consequence which the course has shown me. As I mentioned above, I did not have a blog before because I restrain myself to express. This post helped now to transforms in words what I believe. Also, I saw that the interaction with my mates is a very and important step for my expression of ideas. I found that every comment that a college has posted was a great opportunity for me to debate some of the questions regarding the topic.<\/span>&nbsp; &nbsp;<o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">Another important aspect which I have learnt from this course is to maintain the consistency of my online presence. As a result of this, I have changed the photos and the email to be professional on every profile. By having a real photo and a single e-mail address, I have tried to be the same presence on every website. Moreover, now I understand the importance of social media, in the future I will try periodically to improve my online presence and to avoid problems which can affect my carrier. (for example, #hasJustineJustLanded).<\/span><o:p><\/o:p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cristian_sima\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-l0l4ui297Ww\/U3poPvW07JI\/AAAAAAAAAKk\/wn8-HgetH1g\/s1600\/twitter.PNG\" height=\"175\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cristian_sima\" >Figure 3 &#8211; My Twitter Profile<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cristian.sima\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-XoZ-e1ebW2I\/U3pqsitQd1I\/AAAAAAAAAK8\/P_7G1zAxLN0\/s1600\/faa.PNG\" height=\"248\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cristian.sima\" >Figure 4 &#8211; Facebook profile<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/about.me\/cristian.sima\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-pdVFJvko7rw\/U3ppSkUo2xI\/AAAAAAAAAKs\/jrZ8ZLj2msc\/s1600\/about.PNG\" height=\"242\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Figure 5 &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/about.me\/cristian.sima\" >My About.me Profile<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/+CristianSima93\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-IftK-0jsjFI\/U3pr0OB3p6I\/AAAAAAAAALI\/a1lf8fLF_8w\/s1600\/goo.PNG\" height=\"295\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/+CristianSima93\" >Figure 6 &#8211; My Google Plus profile<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\">\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/profile\/view?id=231448669&amp;trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile_pic\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-GVQcaH8vWPQ\/U3pyCpW4-MI\/AAAAAAAAALc\/hu2qvMTSgGA\/s1600\/c.PNG\" height=\"640\" width=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/profile\/view?id=231448669&amp;trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile_pic\" >Figure 7 &#8211; LinkedIn profile<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-QYYPGwyn_yg\/U4EXNJZS2sI\/AAAAAAAAALw\/CXw-obVN4KE\/s1600\/iui.PNG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-QYYPGwyn_yg\/U4EXNJZS2sI\/AAAAAAAAALw\/CXw-obVN4KE\/s1600\/iui.PNG\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;\">To sum up, now I feel a more confident person because I understand which and how to use social networks. Topics such as privacy and working on web made me aware which information I should deliver to the online services. #UOSM2008 was for me a great course which made me to enjoy social media. Because of this, now I am very happy to start a similar MOOC about Google products. I would like to have you among my colleges.

Why did you choose the module?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I am studying Computer Science at University of Southampton. Thus, I came from the field of programming, where the creation of applications is more important than their social impact. By taking this course I wanted to improve my social influence of online services, a part which was not touched during my studies. I have created many online projects (from simple websites to complex web applications for data mining). It is important for me to understand the consequences of the social media, the tools to maintain the human contact on the online environment.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\"><b>Q2.

Not only that I have finished with 100%, but I also got a diploma signed by the teacher Dr. David J. Malan.

Every post that I have to write I check it twice. I do this because there could   be a potential employer who can check my profile. Also, even if a want to   start a new project it is now very important for me to have a consistent and professional   profile. &nbsp;Also as a consequence of   understanding the course I have changed my profile photo, which was more for   friends with a professional one which can represent a student.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"206\">\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/profile\/view?id=231448669&amp;trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile_pic\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"206\">\n<div>I had no account before the course.

I really enjoy&nbsp;taking online courses because in my opinion this type of learning highlights the interactivity between the colleges and it offers you more knowledge than a standard one. When I had to choose the optional module, I was wondering to take this module about social media. In my view at that time, the course was not teaching me something practical, as I was used to do in my degree. Now, after all the topics and having gained a lot of practical knowledge, I feel I did the right choice because the skill which I have gained in this module help me to be a more sociable person.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody><\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span>Firstly, I think the main benefit of taking this course is that it made to understand not only the importance of the social media for this modern world, but to enjoy being an active online person. Twitter and LinkedIn were for me just a waste of time, because I did not see their important role. After taking this course, I now feel more confident and I have learnt how to use them for me. Twitter is now for me an everyday provider of actual events or news, whereas LinkedIn acts like a personal CV where the people who know me can confirm my skills. LinkedIn made me to be more ambitious and to try to study more, to take more courses in order to improve my profile. As a consequence of this, I was very proud to add, in the certification section on LinkedIn, the statement of achievement offered by Coursera for my last course (Figure 2).<\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/profile\/view?id=231448669&amp;trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile_pic\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-9W7PA8S7E1Q\/U3plSxJVOWI\/AAAAAAAAAKY\/7SldAAzKkgc\/s1600\/a.PNG\" height=\"371\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/profile\/view?id=231448669&amp;trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile_pic\" target=\"_blank\">Figure 2 &#8211; Section of&nbsp;Certifications on LinkedIn<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><span>Furthermore, being more open to new tools is another positive consequence which the course has shown me. As I mentioned above, I did not have a blog before because I restrain myself to express. This post helped now to transforms in words what I believe. Also, I saw that the interaction with my mates is a very and important step for my expression of ideas. I found that every comment that a college has posted was a great opportunity for me to debate some of the questions regarding the topic.<\/span>&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div><span>Another important aspect which I have learnt from this course is to maintain the consistency of my online presence. As a result of this, I have changed the photos and the email to be professional on every profile. By having a real photo and a single e-mail address, I have tried to be the same presence on every website. Moreover, now I understand the importance of social media, in the future I will try periodically to improve my online presence and to avoid problems which can affect my carrier. (for example, #hasJustineJustLanded).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cristian_sima\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-l0l4ui297Ww\/U3poPvW07JI\/AAAAAAAAAKk\/wn8-HgetH1g\/s1600\/twitter.PNG\" height=\"175\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cristian_sima\" target=\"_blank\">Figure 3 &#8211; My Twitter Profile<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cristian.sima\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-XoZ-e1ebW2I\/U3pqsitQd1I\/AAAAAAAAAK8\/P_7G1zAxLN0\/s1600\/faa.PNG\" height=\"248\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cristian.sima\" target=\"_blank\">Figure 4 &#8211; Facebook profile<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span><a href=\"http:\/\/about.me\/cristian.sima\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-pdVFJvko7rw\/U3ppSkUo2xI\/AAAAAAAAAKs\/jrZ8ZLj2msc\/s1600\/about.PNG\" height=\"242\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Figure 5 &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/about.me\/cristian.sima\" target=\"_blank\">My About.me Profile<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/+CristianSima93\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-IftK-0jsjFI\/U3pr0OB3p6I\/AAAAAAAAALI\/a1lf8fLF_8w\/s1600\/goo.PNG\" height=\"295\" width=\"400\"><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/u\/0\/+CristianSima93\" target=\"_blank\">Figure 6 &#8211; My Google Plus profile<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div>\n<div>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/profile\/view?id=231448669&amp;trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile_pic\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-GVQcaH8vWPQ\/U3pyCpW4-MI\/AAAAAAAAALc\/hu2qvMTSgGA\/s1600\/c.PNG\" height=\"640\" width=\"360\"><\/a><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/profile\/view?id=231448669&amp;trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile_pic\" target=\"_blank\">Figure 7 &#8211; LinkedIn profile<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-QYYPGwyn_yg\/U4EXNJZS2sI\/AAAAAAAAALw\/CXw-obVN4KE\/s1600\/iui.PNG\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-QYYPGwyn_yg\/U4EXNJZS2sI\/AAAAAAAAALw\/CXw-obVN4KE\/s1600\/iui.PNG\"><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<div><span>To sum up, now I feel a more confident person because I understand which and how to use social networks.
