The second stream of interest involves the types of instructional practices that are most effective in online venues. Although the pedagogical approaches that are used for delivering high-quality educational services in the classroom can be applied to online venues (Bressler, Bressler & Bressler, 2010), there is far more involved than simply transferring existing curricular offerings to a series of Web pages to assure student engagement in the curricular offerings (Sull, 2009)
As a result, there are a wide range of online formats that can be used for faculty-student and student-student interactions, including chatrooms, bulletin boards and blogs. With respect to chatroom, there are two basic alternatives available: (a) linear (synchronous) and (b) threaded (asynchronous) (Hall, 2008)
With respect to the quality of online relationships between faculty and students, there has been a general paucity of relevant research until relatively recently (Cohen & Ellis, 2005). Moreover, faculty members have been largely excluded in the research to date concerning distance education in general and online learning environments in particular until relatively recently (Hiltz & Goldman, 2004)
Consequently, the type of instructional practices that may be best suited for one learning venue will likely be unsuitable and therefore ineffective in another setting. The goal, then, is to identify the optimal mix of the three elements to produce instructional practices for each setting (Koehler et al
Discussion and Analysis of the Three Streams Differences between Faculty-Student Online Relationships and Conventional Relationships. The research to date indicates that there is no "one-size-fits-all" learning approach that is most suitable in every situation (Lao & Gonzales, 2005)
Faculty can frequently develop stronger one-to-one relationships with students in online courses than in face-to-face ones (Hiltz & Goldman, 2004). Despite its relative newness and the constraints involved in deploying and administering online curricular offerings, many educators and students alike have reported positive results (Perreault, Waldman, Alexander & Zhao, 2008; Rabe-Hemp, Woollen & Humiston, 2009)
Factors to Consider in Online Course Development and Design As noted above, this stream involves far more than simply placing existing course content online in a wholesale fashion and expecting positive academic outcomes. The course development and design process represent both an opportunity for participative interactions among faculty and students, but a number of factors must be taken into account in order to achieve optimal results (Puzziferro & Shelton, 2009; Podoll & Randle, 2006)
Statement concerning how together the stream supports the research problem. It is axiomatic that in order to improve something, it must first be measured and understood (Service, 2009)

"At the foundation of the strength based approach is a belief that individuals are unique and have individual skills, talents, life events, circumstances in addition to needs that may be unmet" (Olson, Whitebeck & Robinson, 1991 cited in Epstein 1999). Hypothetical Client Examination One of the greatest concerns expressed by many scholars when it comes to client engagement is the power differential between the client and the practitioner (Dietz & Thompson, 2004)
It would be important for the practitioner to operate as though I were a blank slate and make no presumptions about my character, personality or issues based on demographics. Of course there is much scholarly literature that bespeaks the importance of cultural competence which suggests that a practitioner is aware of their own cultural and world view, their personal attitudes toward cultural differences and individuals representing a different culture as well as a working knowledge of various cultural worldview and practices (Moule, 2012); however, for me, competence would need to be more than just verbiage
Engagement becomes the primary factor in building a core audience to attract more reach and more advertising sponsors. The average Facebook page reaches 12% of fans, but reach increases with fans clicking somewhere in the posts (Carter, n
The number of likes, shares, comments, and views are metrics appropriate to measure results. Fan reach is a key indicator to measure the appeal of the content and appreciate the quality of the audience (Emoult, 2013)
NTN's target market is 18 to 34 years of age. Half of adults on Facebook have over 200 friends with 25% of ages 18 to 29 have over 500 (Smith, 2014)
Table of Contents Abstract Introduction Literature Review Analysis and Discussion References Employee Engagement Introduction An employee who keeps himself fully engaged and passionate about his work is known as an Engaged Employee in the world of business. (Fernandez, 2007) Several studies have discussed advantages of employee engagement for an organization
Currently the most widely discussed issues within the world of human resource are how to increase human productivity and employee engagement in organizations. (Fisher, Schoenfeldt and Shaw, 2006) Saks (2006) explained that an organization needs to possess several qualities to be successful; these include monetary and physical resources, marketing competence, and human resources
Employee engagement was examined by Crabtree (2004) and has been revealed to possess a statistical connection with efficiency, productivity, employee preservation, security, and customer satisfaction. (Fleming, Coffman and Harter, 2005) These connections are absent in majority of the most traditional organizations
It has been observed that it is vital for leaders of organizations to build an environment that gives opportunity to employees to utilize their full potential. (Gruman, Jamie, Saks and Alan 2011) Business owners have nothing to do with relationship between leaders and rest of employees in an organization
Hence, most of the organizations now understand that engaged employees are highly influential source of competitive advantage. (Katherine, 2009) It was observed that an engaged employee is always ready to put extreme effort into their work in terms of time, intelligence and energy
This is problematic because the show is essentially suggesting to the viewer that its most radical character, and thus radicals in general, are not being honest in the their intentions, and are more concerned with selfish ends than with any humanitarian justification they might present. While at first Tom is clearly a kind of anarchist or socialist agitator interested in dismantling the obviously unjust power structure embodied by Downton Abbey itself, and is thus representative of the emerging political movements of the time period, over time the show seemingly tries to undercut his radical tendencies (Frost 2009, p
