    With the combined advent of the social Web and mobile technology, we live at the very beginning of a historic change in the evolution of human communication. Consider this: Your great-grandchildren will know significantly more about you than you will ever know about even your own parents. Increasingly, you share where you go, what you do and what you think-and in real time-creating a detailed digital footprint. What's more, by leveraging countless layers of social connections, any one episode in that story can reach a global audience.

    This is your story in the making. This is the creation of your legacy. This is your Digital Identity.

    And it's not just individuals but businesses, brands and communities, in every part of the world. Each has a story, and a Digital Identity.

    What is yours? What story are you telling about yourself, your business or your community?

    With an ever-increasing number of choices for connecting, consuming and sharing information your Digital Identity is arguably your most important asset and it creates new problems and exciting new opportunities.

      • Great explanation! I like it.

    Digital Law is defined as the electronic responsibility for actions, deeds which is either ethical or unethical. Digital responsibility deals with the ethics of technology. Unethical use manifests itself in form of theft and/or crime. Ethical manifests itself in the form of abiding by the laws of society." It is basically about what you are and are not allowed to do while surfing and using the Internet

    Everybody should respect the law and abide by it. Not following the law can result in serious punishment. Examples of this behavior are like hacking into people's personal details, pirate software, downloading music illegally and creating viruses or Trojan horses. http://coe.k-state.edu/digitalcitizenship/

      • Best Digital Law explanation.

    a person born or brought up during the age of digital technology and therefore familiar with computers and the Internet from an early age: the digital tools that are reshaping our economy make more sense to young digital natives than to members of older generations

    The importance of the distinction is this: As Digital Immigrants we learn.....
    -
    like all
    immigrants, some better than others
    -
    to adapt to their environment, they always retain,
    to some degree, their "accent," that is, their foot
    in the past. The "digital immigrant
    accent" can be seen in such things as turning to the Internet for information second rather
    than first, or in reading the manual for a program rather than assuming that the program
    itself will teach us to use it. Today
    ‟s older folk were "socialized" differently from their
    kids, and are now in the process of learning a new language. And a language learned later
    in life, scientists tell us, goes into a different part of the brain.

      • All you digital immigrants get up to speed.

    • Wiki is in Ward's original description:

      The simplest online database that could possibly work.

      Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly.

      Wiki is unusual among group communication mechanisms in that it allows the organization of contributions to be edited in addition to the content itself.

      Like many simple concepts, "open editing" has some profound and subtle effects on Wiki usage. Allowing everyday users to create and edit any page in a Web site is exciting in that it encourages democratic use of the Web and promotes content composition by nontechnical users.


    • MOOC stands for "massive open online course" and is a form of distance education, with almost all of the teaching and learning occurring online.

        

      By definition, a MOOC offers open access to the public, meaning it's open for anyone to sign up and learn whatever topic is being taught. Hence the two "Os" in the name MOOC: for "open" and "online."

    • Netiquette
    • Netiquette, or net etiquette, refers to etiquette on the Internet. Good netiquette involves respecting others' privacy and not doing anything online that will annoy or frustrate other people. Three areas where good netiquette is highly stressed are e-mail, online chat, and newsgroups. For example, people that spam other users with unwanted e-mails or flood them with messages have very bad netiquette. You don't want to be one of those people. If you're new to a newsgroup or online chat room, it may help to observe how people communicate with each other before jumping in.

    • Geo data is a broad term that is used to describe sets of information that are used to define a geographic location on the surface of the earth. Several different types of data are available. Each set is normally designed for certain geographical information systems (GIS). The data could be very specific or it could be very vague depending on the purpose of the information. The most accurate information is gathered by professionals with surveying equipment and the assistance of satellites. Less specific information is still useful in systems that are more general or less scientific.

       

      Types Of Data

    • Short for "malicious software," malware refers to software programs designed to damage or do other unwanted actions on a computer system. In Spanish, "mal" is a prefix that means "bad," making the term "badware," which is a good way to remember it (even if you're not Spanish).

       

      Common examples of malware include viruses, worms, trojan horses, and spyware. Viruses, for example, can cause havoc on a computer's hard drive by deleting files or directory information. Spyware can gather data from a user's system without the user knowing it. This can include anything from the Web pages a user visits to personal information, such as credit card numbers.

       

      • It's a long definition , but the best one available

    • The concept of digital privacy can best be described as the protection of the information of private citizens who use digital mediums. However, when people speak about digital privacy, they often are referring to it in terms of its relation to Internet usage. Despite it being a popular and often incendiary issue, the obstacle of defining what digital privacy really is can prevent resolution.

      Digital privacy centers on the fact that using digital mediums to conduct affairs, whether personal or professional, can leave digital footprints. For example, many Internet users don't realize that information about them and their Internet usage habits are constantly being logged and stored. A computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address can be traced back to a specific user and, as such, his website viewing habits can be monitored. Information such as the date and time of his searches, what browser he used to access websites and even how long he viewed websites can be retained on a search engine's servers. Servers can vary in the length of time they store this information before deleting it.

    • collaboration [kəˌlæbəˈreɪʃən]
      n
      1. (often foll by on, with, etc.) the act of working with another or others on a joint project
      2. something created by working jointly with another or others
      3. the act of cooperating as a traitor, esp with an enemy occupying one's own country

    • Definition of academic integrity

       
       

      Academic integrity means honesty and responsibility in scholarship. Students and faculty alike must obey rules of honest scholarship, which means that all academic work should result from an individual's own efforts. Intellectual contributions from others must be consistently and responsibly acknowledged. Academic work completed in any other way is fraudulent.

    • A database is a data structure that stores organized information. Most databases contain multiple tables, which may each include several different fields. For example, a company database may include tables for products, employees, and financial records. Each of these tables would have different fields that are relevant to the information stored in the table.
