Virtual management

Domingas Fernandes Evaluation #3 On Wednesday night March 30th, I opened my Blackboard page and noticed that I had a notification from my Virtual Group. My group members had already started the discussion about what Electronic Meeting System we would be using for the assignment. GoogleDoc, being the most widely used, was suggested and everyone seemed to agree with it. We also shared our phone numbers and decided to use iMessage. On the following day, it seemed that everybody forgot that we…

Sports training is a physically and mentally demanding task that’s filled with countless pitfalls and lots of frustrations. But what if new technology could make the effort easier for athletes? The key might be to make sports training smarter - technologically, smarter that…

Forcing someone into a completely alternative environment with no prior knowledge of the situation is a platform for confusion and sometimes even denial. Plato’s “Allegory of The Cave,” and The Matrix both contain instances of people who have experience with the process of learning entirely new concepts. In the “Allegory of the Cave,” prisoners are exposed to shadows for all of their lives. This lifelong exposure resulted in the belief that the displayed shadows are the actuality. Furthermore,…

events. It projects the feelings of being in the real world with the space coordination like a normal person. VRT helps patients by stimulating sensitivity of an actual proximity of objects surrounding them (Ansuini, Pierno, Lusher & Castiello, 2006).

A Skeptics Inception In Descartes Skepticism he excises the idea of doubt and the never ending allurement to some sort of doubt that is within life. Descartes says that everything you know no matter how probable or improbable it is has doubt. In Descartes meditation one and two he goes over his three main points of doubt.

As of January 2015 there were approximately 3 billion active internet users and 2 billion active social media accounts. The social media websites through which these accounts operate are defined as “member based internet communities which that allow users to post profile information, such as a username or photograph, and to communicate with others in innovative ways such as sending public or private online messages, or sharing photos online” (Pempek, Yermolayeva & Calvert, 2009 p.277). Few…

Do you ever just get on a social network and post about how you are doing or where you are at and what you are doing that day? Many of us are guilty of this, but very few to none think about any of the consequences. Whatever the reason may be for one to have a social network, my research shows we need to pay closer attention to what we post; we have no control over who can really see our profiles. Everyone needs to understand the good and the bad consequences of having social networks. Weigh out…

Balance Assessment in Parkinson’s Disease Using Virtual Reality Evidence-based practice includes the integration of patient values and focuses on the most appropriate course of action through clinical expertise and best available research.

For instance, a clinical scenario could be, “Gerald…

In Plato’s The Allegory of the Cave, Socrates and Glaucon had a long, in depth discussion about how an extended metaphor related to learning. In the allegory, cave dwellers were chained to a wall. The effects of the chains are drastic. These restrict the prisoners to look elsewhere, except for forward. They cannot turn their heads left, right, upward, or downward, only straight on. They can talk to the people to their sides, but have never seen their face or understand what objects stand in…
