continued with the blog. This week I will add an image to the blog. This image will be of my self’s also attended all my lectures and seminars so I can edit and write what activities were held in other unit of my course. I find it fairly easy to create eat this blog as I have been doing this for the past 4 weeks. we had a lecture this week as last week lecture was self study and we had to progress with the blogging found it easy to upload a picture of myself as I already have done this using face book therefore I am familiar with the process.

Human and Financial Management: After learning about the recruitment and selection we now began to look at induction. Induction is the process of familiarising the person to their working environment. To understand this better we did an induction checklist. This included tasks, time, duration, method, and person responsible for the task. So for example. Introduction to health and safety, ties would be on the very first day as health and safety is very important. Duration of this can be up to an hour. Methods to aware the person of this could be presentation or tour. The person responsible to show this would most likely be health and safety officer. We did this in groups as we were given an example o new media user advisor specification. In the seminar. We looked at an exam question also relating induction. This included a very detail answer of how n why induction is important. How it benefits the company itself and its employees. We also addressed important things such as culture social importance to the person who is going to work in your working environment.

Design Online Learning: from the previous week o learning styles we were told to do a test on webs to analyse what type of learners we are. The cults were printed and brought with us to the lecture. We started the lecture by looking at different preferred type of learning. These are visual those who learn more by wafting things pictures, videos etc. Tree is several other types of learners, oral, phisical learners, mathematical etc. to see what sort of learners we are as individual. W did a task in the seminar. This was watching a video visually of a person teaching you how to learn knitting. We watched this video and then were given knitting sticks to see whether we can watch and learn. I personally did this task and was successful at knitting. At first it was quite difficult but later on I found it really easy.

Media law: This week we looked at top 10 copy right myths. This is a website also we looked at copyright and computer software and copyright in composite work. This was viewed by presentation slides. we also did a class test relating this to asset our ability to check the learning outcome of copy right infringment.We also looked at California collegians may be getting a lesson on the limits of sharing. Students at California state universities are expressing frustration following news that the university system sent a cease-and-desist letter to a new Web site that lets pupils sell their class notes n violation of California law.

Contempary Media Communications: Last week we completed our questions for the interview making sure we all discussed the questions as a group by deciding what type of question should we include receiving maximum and good result from the ethnic minorities. This was printed out and given to our group so we can all go out there and interview different age groups and bring back 1 audio each o the interview being conducted so we add this to or presentation. we also discussed the age range o the interviews so there are no clashes or too much o the same age group as its very important for us to have onion of different age groups. These questions are differing from the questionnaire as this is not just general questions about the person and the type of music they listen to. It addresses the emotional drive and goals of individuals listening to music. Also we did a presentation for our topic. This was so we can practice as a group to present in front of other fellow students. It included the method of research, and 2008 report on ethnic minorities how these people are using media more and more.

Managing contemporary Organisations: this week we looked at organisational culture in the digital age and have explored defininitions of organisational culture. We also have explored the elements which make up organisational culture, have an understanding of the relationship between organisational structure, culture and climate. This is important to understand so we know the basic requirements of an organisation and how important culture can be for the recruiting team and employees. To father understand this we worked in groups and choose a company. We choose Google and discussed how the culture affected people working there. Google is a company which provides a great comfort zone, including kitchen, cafeteria, and people working informally. People are meeting there for work purposes etc. This was discussed with the class in the seminar looking at various examples.
