This document discusses several philosophies and frameworks for understanding reality, including nominalism. Nominalism holds that only particular objects exist in the world and general ideas are merely names without real existence. The document explores how nominalism can provide scaffolding to support understanding of metaphysical questions about reality. It also discusses how a nominalist view that denies universal concepts like "humanity" could contribute to greater inhumanity in war by viewing people as merely particular objects. Overall, the document examines nominalism and other terms as lenses for framing our understanding of reality and real-world objects and experiences.
This document contains a SWOT analysis and TOWS analysis for Dropbox. The SWOT analysis identifies Dropbox's strengths as its large consumer base, innovative culture, ability to raise funds, and attractive products. Weaknesses include weaker security than competitors, late entry into the B2B segment, lower storage space/price ratio, and low presence in emerging markets. Opportunities include the growing trend toward cloud services for businesses and emerging markets. Threats include plummeting cloud storage prices and increased global competition. The TOWS analysis proposes leveraging Dropbox's strengths to focus on the B2B market and using partnerships to enter emerging markets by overcoming its weaknesses in those areas.
The Future of Work: Ross Piper, Vice President, Enterprise Strategy, Dropbox Argyle Executive Forum
Ross Piper, Vice President of Enterprise Strategy at Dropbox, discussed how the global workforce is becoming increasingly mobile during a Thought Leadership Spotlight Presented by Dropbox at the 2014 Chief Information Officer Leadership Forum in Chicago on June 19. In his presentation, “The Future of Work,” Piper noted the average mobile device user leverages three devices, and this average could rise over the next few years.
Piper said data storage has been problematic for many mobile device users. Because email attachments and USB drives provide only a limited amount of storage space, Piper said, many organizations will look to the cloud to provide unlimited storage. Piper noted his company has been successful because it delivers anytime, anywhere access to data: “If you’re using Dropbox at work, we want you to be able to do it in the managed solution that gives you all the admin control, auditability and sharing capability that you’d expect within a business. That’s our mission.”
In addition, Piper pointed out the user experience is critical for his company’s data storage solution. He noted all of the personal information is owned by the individual, which makes it simple for users to avoid data management and storage problems: “All of the work content is managed, controlled and really owned by the admin … All the personal data is owned by the individual. But we do it in a way that’s simple for people so that they don’t have those big obstacles.”

Dropbox is a cloud storage startup founded in 2007 by Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi. By 2010, Dropbox had raised $257 million in capital and had 4 million users. Houston faced strategic decisions around product segmentation, targeting enterprise customers, and distribution deals. Key issues included whether to offer multiple products, integrate with other folders, determine business vs personal use, improve analytics, and partner with security firms. The case analyzes Dropbox's history and challenges.

Dropbox was founded in 2007 by Drew Houston as a file sharing and storage application that allows users to easily sync and access files across devices. It gained popularity through word-of-mouth and viral marketing. While Dropbox saw strong growth and many new users, Houston faced dilemmas around whether to segment users and how to balance adding new features while maintaining simplicity. Competitors like Mozy and Carbonite also posed challenges to Dropbox's business model and growth.
Dropbox currently has 200 million users, but only 1.6% are paid subscribers. To address this, the document proposes a new pricing strategy with multiple tiers: 1) a 1GB free tier, 2) a 25GB "Pro" tier for $3.99/month, and 3) a 100GB "Premium" tier for $9.99/month. It also recommends maintaining Dropbox's referral program which provides storage bonuses to both referrers and receivers. The goals are to increase conversion rates, broaden Dropbox's offerings to different customer segments, and emphasize its benefits over competitors like higher quality service and data security.

Dropbox was founded in 2007 by Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi to provide easy file sharing across devices. While entering a competitive market with established players like Mozy and Carbonite, Dropbox differentiated itself with local file storage and background syncing. After launching a beta version and using guerrilla marketing, Dropbox saw rapid growth. However, Houston faced challenges around user segmentation, funding, partnerships, and high customer acquisition costs. He considered creating separate products for power users and businesses to better monetize Dropbox's diverse user base.

A quick explanation showing the process behind students sharing standard written journals through cameraphone imagery. It's a presentation made during the 2021 CESICON in Ireland that recaps successful integration of Microsoft Teams, Class Notebooks, and Moodle to complement taskings set on Moodle.
This document outlines the course structure, assignments, assessments, and expectations for a Media Writing course. The course involves 10 lectures, 8 tutorials, and 2 field trips. Students will complete a case study, script, and essay worth 40 marks total, as well as a media writing journal worth 30 marks. Continuous assessment is worth 70% of the final grade, while a final exam is worth 30%. Key due dates and learning resources are provided.
Presented during a #voicesineducation workshop as "First attempts in learning" by @topgold in LIT-Thurles. Revealing things that broke, things that worked, and ideas that lie ahead.
This document discusses mapping active responses, a teaching strategy shared at CESICON 2018 by @topgold. It provides tips for planning, pre-production, producing audio using free apps like Anchor and Spreaker, and using post-production tools. Examples of using audio assets and embedding audio players from Anchor, Spreaker and other sites are also mentioned. The document encourages trying out making audio and gives pointers for speaking notes and images.
The document describes an initiative called the Marchathon where students can earn academic credit for promoting a #stepchallenge on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. To participate, students must register by creating a team of 3-6 people, set up a profile, and join challenges to track their daily step progress. Participants can earn marks by engaging with social media posts about the challenge that cite a specific hashtag and program. They also must complete collaborative tasks on the project management platform Trello.
I don't have information about Spreaker. The document appears to be about using enhanced podcasts and audio tools like Spreaker for teaching and learning.
Twitter's blocking capabilities take several days to fully prevent a blocked user from seeing another user's timeline or searching for their profile. Even after being blocked, a user may still be able to find the blocking user through Twitter lists or external tools for a few days. If someone feels threatened on a social network, they should consider making their account private or protected.
OneNote is described as an online, cloud-based notebook service that is simple to use, robust, and can be used on desktop and mobile devices. The document discusses how a teacher used OneNote with 147 students across 9 modules and found it helped with collaborative teaching and learning, organizing notes and materials, sharing content, and assessing student work. Key benefits identified include being able to find information faster, see live student work, provide feedback, and view curated reading materials. A few issues are noted, such as it not working well with weak internet connections, and potential conflicts when syncing pages across devices.
The document discusses how sharing rich content across a wide area through social networks can attract more people and sustain educational initiatives. It notes that a music group attracted 50% more concertgoers by sharing content online and that students shared their work to attract candidates to an honors degree program. It suggests sharing ideas to sustain education programs through the information sharing economy.
The document discusses innovation projects at the Limerick Institute of Technology in Clonmel, County Tipperary, Ireland. Students research startup ideas and create media releases, with ideas coming from potential interns and releases made by other students. The collaborative process includes coffee chats leading to good ideas, exploring the Tipperary brand through heritage, sport, food and news, and designing a media hub for a new incubator in Tipperary.

Here's a first look at The Wundering Moleskine, a set of water colour journals sent to creative people between the ages of six and 106. The Moleskines have social beacons that allow their content to be shared and repurposed as they travel from country to country before returning to the Limerick City of Culture in late 2014.
This document provides guidance on creating effective press releases, outlining key elements to include such as the who, what, when, where, why and how. It recommends including a catchy headline, topic sentence and five-word phrase to reinforce your message and ensure discoverability. Contact details should be included at the bottom for further information.
Sentiment analysis, also known as opinion mining, uses natural language processing to analyze text and determine if the sentiment expressed is positive, negative, or neutral. It can analyze sentiment at various levels, from entire documents or websites down to specific sentences, aspects of entities, or keywords. Challenges include distinguishing objective from subjective text and resolving ambiguities to accurately determine the sentiment toward a particular entity, person, or topic. Metadata and contextual cues can help with disambiguation.
