Monday, November 16, 2020 - Online learning is everywhere. There's been steady growth throughout this century, but it exploded during the global pandemic. We visit with Minot's Barb Solberg, who co-wrote The Student Guide to the World Wide Web and WebCT back in 1999. ~~~ It's a great time to watch for shooting stars, as Chuck Lura explains in today's Natural North Dakota essay. ~~~ An event was scheduled in Bismarck called “It’s a Wonderful Life: An Evening with Zuzu” featuring Karolyn Grimes who portrayed Zuzu Bailey in the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Due to the pandemic, however, that event is on hold, but we decided to go ahead with a scheduled visit with Karolyn, who had quite a career as a child actor until tragedy changed the trajectory of her life. She joins us from her home in California.

Originally aired as CW 252 Despite popular belief, China is no longer a cheap place to do business with labor costs and real estate costs soaring. Join Jason Hartman as he interviews Shaun Rein, author of The End of Cheap China and Managing Director of China Market Research Group in Shanghai, about debunking common myths, such as China is stealing U.S. jobs. Many companies have begun doing business in China, due to what Shaun refers to as “capitalism on steroids.” Labor costs have increased in China to the tune of around 20 percent, and the government is trying to increase wages yearly over the next five years. Another factor affecting manufacturing costs over time is that fewer of the younger generation wants to be employed in manufacturing jobs, wanting to realize their white class dreams. China is also pushing middle class development to offset the manufacturing issue. Shaun Rein is the Managing Director of CMR, the world's leading strategic market intelligence firm. He is one of the world's recognized thought leaders on strategy consulting. He is a columnist for Forbes on Leadership, Marketing, and China and for BusinessWeek's Asia Insight section. He is often featured in the Wall Street Journal, the Harvard Business Review, The Economist, The Financial Times, Newsweek International, Bloomberg, Time, and the New York Times. He is regularly interviewed by American Public Radio's Marketplace and NPR. He frequently appears to deliver commentary on CNBC's Squawk Box, Bloomberg TV, CBS News, and CNN International TV. Before founding CMR, he was the Chief of Research for venture capital firm Inter-Asia Venture Management. He also was the Managing Director, Country Head China for e-learning software company WebCT where he also ran the company's Taiwan and South Korean operations. He also served as the Assistant Director of the Center for East Asian Research at McGill University. He earned his Master's degree from Harvard University focused on China's economy and received a BA Honors from McGill University.

OK, it's official. I don't understand women.  Today I return to one of my favorite topics which is how men and women are so different. Here are some topics: Nails: I don't know a guy who picks a woman based on their nails, but women love to do their nails and comment on other women's nails. Listening: Guys are used to fixing things that are wrong. We are used to taking action. For a guy to listen to 2 minutes of complaints and then do NOTHING and by doing NOTHING something is FIXED. I don't get it, but its true. Cat Fights: Put women in a room and they will scratch each other eyes out. Put guys together and they will work together to find a television set.

IntroAccording to wikipedia.com: Social media describes the online tools and platforms that people use to share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives with each other. Social media can take many different forms, including text, images, audio, and video. Popular social mediums include blogs, message boards, podcasts, wikis, and vlogs. In this session we'll take a look at a few of the common social media applications including mySpace, Facebook and Flickr. We'll also look at some applications that are designed specifically for academic use. Gordon, can you tell us a little more about what these social media tools?â��What we want to express with the term social media is the fact that in media design we are aware of the existence of others and the collaborations we see happening through the so-called social software. Concrete examples of social media are online communities, social networking places, social sharing tools (flickr),.... â�� Source: Belgian Master course in Communication & Multimedia Design: http://listserv.aoir.org/pipermail/air-l-aoir.org/2006-April/009573.html How about some examples?  mySpace: http://www.myspace.com/ Eons: http://eons.com Flickr: http://www.flickr.com  Digg: http://www.digg.com MyHeritage: www.myheritage.com del.icio.us: http://del.icio.us Facebook is probably a good example of what many of our students are using.
