Blogging and human rights abuse
Blogging and human rights abuse
According to the BBC News website the other day, "More bloggers than ever face arrest for exposing human rights abuses or criticising governments".
The statement is based on the WIA Report 2008.
The graphic (click to enlarge) from the actual report says a lot, certainly in terms of blogging becoming a more and more dangerous activity.
Some further details courtesy of BBC News:
Since 2003, 64 people have been arrested for publishing their views on a blog.
In 2007 three times as many people were arrested for blogging about political issues than in 2006.
More than half of all the arrests since 2003 have been made in China, Egypt and Iran.
Carers get connected
Connecting for Care is said to be about providing:
"...resources and support to assist with the daily situations experienced by all carers.
By providing a forum for various groups of carers to communicate, we hope you will be able to provide and receive tips as well as share advice with other carers."
Further details:
"It provides ways to not only improve the quality of healthcare and reduce the burden on carers, but also to connect people and build a sense of community.
Electronic simulations and workplace applications
>The trend of employers taking an interest in Web 2.0 appears to be continuing.
An article in the CIPD's People Management magazine discusses how employers are using such technologies for mock-ups, or electronic simulations used for workplace applications ranging from sophisticated business games to psychometric testing.
Further details:
Simulations have long been a favourite in the learning manager’s toolkit – whether it’s role-playing a call from an angry customer or carrying out flipchart-based team exercises to solve a problem.
But technological advances have made it possible to create electronic simulations (sims) that, according to their enthusiasts, are more realistic, compelling and versatile than their traditional predecessors – thereby producing better outcomes.
