Read “You Manage It! 2” in Managing Human Resources (2016, p. 258). After reading the case, complete the following items:
Write a summary of the case,
Answer the critical thinking questions, and
Elaborate on two key learnings from the case related to training and development and its integration with the organization. Be sure to clearly state the two key learnings and defend them in well-organized, scholarly responses.

 

In previous units, you explored the Internet for digital media tools. In this unit, you will create a draft version of your digital media project that

highlights one aspect of your tutorial. You can highlight part of the process described in your Unit 6 and 7 Discussion Assignments, or you can choose

another aspect, such as an important warning, required materials for the process, or key words. Determine what topic will most benefit your audience and

then which digital media tool can help you accomplish that goal. This digital media project that you create will be submitted as a project and posted

here in the Learning Space.
Complete the following actions in your post:
• Link to your digital media project (if it is stored on the Internet) or attach the digital media project file to your post
• Indicate the name of the digital media tool you used to create the project
• Explain why you chose to highlight a particular part of your tutorial through digital media
• Justify your decisions relating to the digital media tool used and theorize how your audience might respond to the digital media project

 

Research Paper Using Word
This assignment has two goals: 1) have students increase their understanding of
ethical issues related to the use of information technology through research, and 2)
learn to correctly use the tools and techniques within Word to format a research paper,
including use of available References and citation tools. These skills will be valuable
throughout a student’s academic career. The paper will require a title page, NO
abstract, three to five full pages of content with incorporation of a minimum of 3 external
resources from credible sources and a Works Cited/References page. Wikipedia and
similar general information sites, blogs or discussion groups are not considered
creditable sources for a research project. No more than 10% of the paper may be in the
form of a direct citation from an external source.
A list of topics from which students can choose is provided below.
Topics for Research Paper
Explore ethical issues that may surround the use of information technology in the
implementation or development of one of these topics
1. Genetic Engineering – crops and humans
2. Biometrics – various implementations and the ethical and privacy issues related
to the use of biometrics
3. Development of artificial intelligence and intelligent agents (such as Siri, Cortana,
and so on)
4. Development of robots as intelligent as humans; smart machines and the IOT.
5. Genome-based treatments for curing diseases
6. Family, eldercare, and parenting issues with technology and information systems
7. The pros and cons of using computer-assisted education in the elementary
school classroom
8. Issues facing the IT Manager or Security professional (e.g., privacy, ownership,
control, accuracy, security)
9. Ethical issues in defense information systems in this era of Edward Snowden,
Chelsea Manning, Wikileaks, etc.
If there is another topic that addresses ethical issues as related to information
technology that is of special interest to you but one that is not in the list above, request
permission from your instructor before selecting this alternate topic.
Writing Quality for the Research Paper
* All Grammar, Verb Tenses, Pronouns, Spelling, Punctuation, and Writing Competency
should be without error.
* Be particularly careful about mis-matching a noun and pronoun. For example, if you
say “A person does this…” then do not use “their” or “they” when referring to that
person. “Person” is singular; “their” or “they” is plural.* Remember: there is not their, your is not you’re, its is not it’s, too is not

to or two, site
is not cite, and who should be used after an individual, not that. For example, “the
person WHO made the speech” not “the person THAT made the speech.”
* In a professional paper one does not use contractions (doesn’t, don’t, etc.) and one
does not use the personal I, you or your. Use the impersonal as in the previous
sentence. It is more business-like to say “In a professional paper one should not use
contractions,” rather than saying, “In a professional paper you don’t use contractions.”
*Remember: spell-check, then proofread. Better yet, have a friend or colleague read it
before submitting it. Read it out loud to yourself. Read it as if you are submitting it to
your boss.

White Paper
In this paper for WRTG 393, you are providing background research to an audience to help the audience make a
decision on a topic. In WRTG 394, the paper is written to a specific decision-maker about a specific problem in your
workplace or community and recommends a specific course of action.

integrate thorough research
 make sure that you do not directly tell the audience what action it should take. Rather,
offer background information that the audience can use to make a decision. The Purdue
OWL video mentions this principle. This is one reason the video refers to the white paper
as a backgrounder report.
