Worked on the web…

For the final post (for #MANG2049), I’ll begin with an illustration of the 5 topics discussed previously across several posts.

Instead of being provided with curriculum texts and notes, we had to do our research and further analysis from …

A Reflection on “Is free the answer?”

I made it to the final topic of the module! This topic proved the toughest to me, as I had no prior opinion regarding the concept of ‘open access’.  For my post, I challenged the idea of all content being freely accessible and reusable. In our society, it seems everybody likes free items. And more …

Is “free” the answer?

Free content. Sounds great! Then again, like with any other attractive deal, scepticism kicks in.   Question 1: How free is it? Source: The Strait Times Free access doesn’t guarantee permission to modify and edit the content. It’s like a digital newspaper. You can read it, without any costs, but you can’t re-use it. Basically, …

A Reflection on “Ethics”

In my post, I addressed how a business use of social media can aggravate unethical behaviour. Own Image But reading Jim’s post introduced another perspective.

Especially from reading Jia Jiun’s post. His detailed focus on effectively delivering your professionalism across to potential employers led me to think towards another aspect. Should we then even …

Build a Digital Professional Portfolio

Let’s do away with statistics first! It’s the results of a recent LinkedIn @Work survey. (Statistics) Source: HRM Asia \ Image Designed by Freepik I was quite surprised. I know my ex-colleagues do Facebook searches on incoming employees, but I didn’t know that we place that much importance on this “trend”. So, I’m guessing we all recognise the significance …

A Reflection on “Online Identy(ties)”

I’d say the views towards the practice of multiple online identities are diversified. Unlike the previous topic, I think this topic involves substantially a broader scope of concepts. So, most of the posts I read discussed about different aspects of ‘online identities’. In his post here, Issac used a word I found really intriguing – …
