Why do you think #UAlberta doesn’t
have such a policy? If you could draft one for the university or your
(real/imagined work) what would you include? Jot your ideas down in a blog
post.

The policy that Harvard law has with regards to blog posts within their academic circles seems to be that they can do what they want with each blog once it's posted as long as they mention the original author. If the University of Alberta was to come up with this kind of a policy I think it might stop people from blogging freely because of how easily it would be to misrepresent what was originally said. If a policy was to be written I think it should include more rights for the original author.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the policy for weblogs at Harvard Law School, it gave me pause if I would blog about anything and everything. The policy they have provided is essentially covering any and everything that may or might go wrong with the information someone may post. I understand the desire to share information, however their policy states what is acceptable, what is considered Harvard property and how credit for information is to be accruate with no malicious intent by the blogger.
ReplyDeleteShould the U of A propose a policy, it should encompass many of the aspects of the Harvard Law School terms of use. The policy indicates if you use their resources you must abide by their terms and conditions. If you wish to blog using your own resources you are free to do so. The perception that is created when using a blog must have terms and conditions as the information posted is a reflection of the institute that is represented on the blog. Too often individuals/groups put information out that is not always accruate and leads to difficulties later down the road. If putting information on a blog was a straight forward act, we wouldn't have to be concerned with the terms and conditions. In general people may have a lapse in judgement and should be made aware of the consequences when it negatively impacts them and the organization.
5 C's of Social Media
ReplyDeleteAs I have moved along with this course, Effective Social Media Communication, I have been introduced to some social media formats that I did not have experience with before. Twitter is definetly one that I hadn't used before but started to use for this course.
Interestingly enough, the 5 c's are being used. Although I may not have a wide audience at this time, I have seen the feedback through others providing their insight on past learnings. There is a conversation that is taking place amongst the various participants and our instructor, Jessica.
We are encouraged to make our contribution as we learn on a weekly basis, this has stretched my learnings and given me confidence to tweak my way of communicating. I see the collaboration, by reading other posts or tweets I am learning from the other participants.
I definately see the connection, even if the course is our connection there is a variety of experience from the participants which lends itself to the learning experience overall. There is a sense of community as we each learn how we may apply our learning to our day to day work and or personal lives.
Now if I can only keep it simple.....

ReplyDelete5C's of Social Media
ReplyDeleteBeing "Social" is Conversation, Contribution, Collaboration, Connection and Community. Twitter, Facebook and blogging all offer these opportunities. There are plenty of blogs and websites offering tips and suggestions on how to maximize the "social" platforms on the internet. It is up to the writer how much interaction they are looking for on each social platform.
With regards to the Harvard Law School Media Policy, I would have to agree with both statements from above by MicheleR and Travelbug02.
