Social media analytics is the art and science of extracting valuable hidden insights from vast amounts of semi-structured and unstructured social media data to enable informed and insightful decision-making. It is a science, as it involves systematically identifying, extracting, and analyzing social media data using sophisticated tools and techniques. It is also an art, interpreting and aligning the insights gained with business goals and objectives. In order to get value from analytics, one should master both its art and science.
In today’s high tech world, Internet use has become a common part of everyday life. Senior citizens are one of the most vulnerable groups of Internet users who are prone to cyber-attacks.

Margaret Wheatley said, "Without reflection, we go blindly our way, creating more unintended consequences, and failing to achieve anything useful." In a world where educational paradigms are rapidly changing, curriculum and instruction should remain fluid. A new toolbox of teaching methodologies, a changing social climate and a changing political world will influence the way that we develop the curriculum of the future.
Welcome to INF 656 – Cybersecurity. The ability to secure information within a modern enterprise—large or small—is a growing challenge. Threats to information security are global, persistent, and increasingly sophisticated. Long gone are the days when managers could hope to secure the enterprise through ad hoc means.
This course is designed to teach practitioners how to engage all functional levels within the enterprise to deliver information system security. The course addresses a range of topics, each of which is vital to securing the modern enterprise.
I am Robin Saunders and I am the director of the graduate CIM Programs. I have been teaching for more than 30 years (YIKES) and teaching online for about 15 years.
As the educational online community continues to grow, I would like to explore the success paradigms of all successful virtual communities. I my humble opinion as educators we need to look beyond the constraints of our siloed community.
The Toolkit is a repository of user-friendly tips, technology tools, training and resources. The goal is to identify, explain, develop, implement and support innovative technology and pedagogy for the enrichment of academic experiences.
This toolkit is intended for use by all faculty, lecturers, graduate students, staff and instructors who are interested in designing new courses or adapting existing courses to the online environment.
This course is about examining the key components of enterprise business information technology and cybersecurity management. Focus of class discussions will be on practical problems, barriers, limitations, and mitigation strategies. Additionally, students will examine the role of ethical leadership and its impact on innovation, productivity, and how to effectively protect against the criminal or unauthorized use of electronic data, or measures that can be implemented for its achievement.
All best wishes and good luck with the course!!!
