This week in prosem

Google Docs auto saves every 10 seconds or so.
We don't need to worry about saving our work or losing copies of things in Google.
That's a good thing because my University has subscribed to the Google paradigm, we use Google email and Google blogs.
The best way to save though is to print out on paper.
Teacher says: every major document, keep on CD, on Gmail and print it!

More faculty visits: Dr. Joon Byun
He has a PHD in Computer Engineering, an MS in Computer Science and a BE in Computer Engineering.
He said computer programmers are the most popular future job.
The ability to Collaborate is crucial.
The HP way: Consensus based decision making, every employee had to agree on a design before it would be produced
a Good thing because it makes good products,
a Bad thing because it takes too long

Then came Dr Su Bude, like Dude, our first woman! She is a professor of Instructional Technology, developiing all new technologies to design learning methods. Elearning. She mentioned her degrees as she left but I didn't catch it.

With last weeks strong emphasis on communication and this weeks emphasis on study and time management I get a sense of where the course is taking us on a course of professional advancement in a digital culture.
