    Module 5 Introduction

    In this module, you will learn how to create a comprehensive and well-structured literature/information review, which is a critical component of your thesis or applied project in organizational development and learning. The literature/information review provides a foundation for your research/project by surveying existing knowledge, identifying gaps, and situating your study/project within the broader academic and practical context.

    Module Objectives:

    1. Understand the Purpose of a Literature/information Review:

    – Learn about the essential functions of a literature review, including summarizing existing research, identifying gaps, and providing a context for your study.

    2. Conduct a Comprehensive Literature Search:

    – Develop strategies for conducting a thorough literature search using academic databases, journals, books, and other credible sources. Learn how to identify and select relevant literature.

    3. Evaluate and Synthesize Sources:

    – Understand how to critically evaluate sources for relevance, credibility, and quality. Learn techniques for synthesizing information from multiple sources to provide a cohesive overview of the existing research.

    4. Organize the Literature Review:

    – Explore different ways to structure your literature review, such as thematically, chronologically, or methodologically. Understand how to create a logical flow that guides the reader through the existing research.

    5. Identify Gaps and Justify Your Research:

    – Learn how to identify gaps in the existing literature and justify the need for your study. Understand how to articulate how your research will contribute to filling these gaps.

    6. Write Clearly and Coherently:

    – Develop your academic writing skills to ensure that your literature review is clear, coherent, and well-argued. Learn how to use transitions and signposting to guide the reader.

    By the end of this module, you will have a comprehensive and well-structured literature/information review that effectively supports your thesis or applied project. You will be equipped with the skills to conduct a thorough literature search, critically evaluate and synthesize sources, and write a clear and compelling review.

  • The Role of Early Recording Technology in the Advancement of…

    Objective: This assignment will explore the impact of early recording technologiessuch as the phonograph, gramophone, and early audio formatson the development of the music industry. You will examine how these early innovations transformed music production, distribution, and consumption during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

    Instructions:

    1. Introduction to Early Sound Recording Technologies:
    • Begin by explaining the basic concept of sound recording. Define what early recording technologies were and why they represented a significant breakthrough in preserving music and sound. (10pts)
    • Discuss the invention of the phonograph by Thomas Edison in 1877 and the gramophone by Emile Berliner in the 1880s. Compare and contrast these two technologies and their contributions to early sound recording. (10pts)
    • Investigate how early recording technologies began to revolutionize the way music was distributed. You may research information using the course textbook, supplemental material provided, and or an online resource. Discuss how these early distribution methods made music accessible to a broader audience, including the middle class and those living in rural areas. (10pts)

    Assignment Deliverables:

    • Provide Summary (1 page): Your summary should be thorough, well-organized, and demonstrate an understanding of the early history of recording technology and its impact on the music industry. Cite at least one credible source (books, journal articles, or reputable online sources). (20pts)

    Assessment Criteria:

    • Clear understanding of the development of early recording technologies and their impact on music production, distribution, and consumption.
    • Well-organized, clearly written report with a strong argument supported by research.

    Submission details:

    • Submit your work in the text submission box
    • Links to assignment documentation cannot be used
  • Lab: Create Database

    This alternative assignment may be completed in Microsoft Excel. You have received the following file Nonprofit-Flawed-Dataset.xlsx

    from a nonprofit organization that has been using a single spreadsheet to track employees, projects, funding sources, and time allocation. Upon review, it is immediately clear that the data structure contains significant redundancies and errors, including inconsistent project naming, duplicated employee information, and unreliable funding reports. In addition, the workbook is not structured relationally; the flat file does not meaningfully link to the detail tabs for employees, projects, funding sources, or time allocation, and therefore cannot reliably support accurate reporting or data integrity. The nonprofit has asked you to correct these structural issues and to create a method for generating accurate summaries, specifically total hours by project, total hours by employee, and total hours by funding source.First, provide a written explanation, with examples, describing how a relational database structure could resolve these problems. Your explanation should include sample tables or simple graphics illustrating what a relational design might look like, including the use of primary keys and foreign keys to link tables. Be sure to explain why this approach would be preferable to the organizations current flat-file system, particularly in terms of data integrity, consistency, and reporting reliability.

    Next, demonstrate how the existing Excel file could be modified to reflect a relational structure and eliminate the identified errors. Submit the revised workbook along with a brief explanatory document outlining what you changed, how you structured the relationships, and why those changes improve the accuracy and usability of the organizations reporting.

  • Week 7 Activity – Create a Work Breakdown Structure

    This activity is designed to help you prepare for the assignment due next week, Analysis of Direct and Indirect Costs.

    You will use the provided template to create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) sheet using the project information from the Week 8 assignment. It includes a place for both direct and indirect costs for the following items:

    • Labor.
    • Manufacturing.
    • Research and Development.
    • General Administrative.

    This activity is designed to help you better understand the difference between direct and indirect costs. For example, your direct labor costs may be the crew that needs to install solar panels, but indirect labor costs would be any sort of maintenance work required to clean up after the installation.

    Please note: The sum formulas are pre-populated in the Total row, so make sure that as you edit, you keep those formulas properly updated. For example, rows should only be inserted above the Total row.

    For help with basic Excel, please review the following:

    Note: The provided template has a space for each category and formulas to calculate your total expenses. If you need to add more items than the provided three spaces in each category, just add a row below the last row in the category (above the row that calculates the total). Continue adding rows as needed.

    If you are not working in a classroom, think about the procedures at your

    own child’s school or your own experiences as a student.

    1. Why is it important to send sick children home instead of letting them

    stay in the classroom? Share 3 different reasons.

    1. Share how the daily health check works, from your own experience.

    Let us know if this is in your own classroom, or from other experiences

    you have had. What does the teacher do or ask the parents during the

    daily health check?

    1. If you volunteer in a classroom, have you noticed teachers doing

    daily health checks? (It is possible to conduct a daily health check

    very casually, without it being obvious.) If you are volunteering or a

    TA, you should ask the teachers about the health check and what they do.

    1. Have you seen teachers send a child home after noticing a health

    issue at check in time? If so, how did the parent seem to feel about being

    asked to take the child home?

    1. How can we make sure parents will not be surprised if they are

    asked to take their child home after symptoms are noticed at the

    health check? What should teachers and Directors do to prepare them?
