Do I read private policies for online forums?

Do I read private policies for online forums?

# data[].attributes.body
No, I do not tend to read privacy policies associated with online apps. There isn’t a reason for my decision, but I would say it’s because I am being lazy and when I see a bunch of words on a page if I can avoid reading them I will. However, this is a negative habit, and one I must change as I should be reading the policies to understand my rights and for safety concerns.

Creating a map highlighting travel throughout European countries. I chose this idea as travel is extremely popular and there is a wide range of information available.

Pocket is an online forum that provides suggestions for you as the individual from the list of your identified interests and likes. There is an option to save any content or textual pieces which the user finds interesting and would like to later return or find again.

When using Pocket, I found that there was a lot to choose from and was unsure of which to choose first. I like the feature of what’s popular today as it highlights what is trending.

# data[].attributes.body
Pinterest is an online forum also, however the content to be discovered on this app tends to be more images and graphical. Similarly, users can pin content which they find useful, or they may use in the future.

As I used Pinterest, I found I was seeing and more due to the use of imagery, additionally I prefer using Pinterest as it was quicker, and I liked when the motivational phrases appeared.

# data[].attributes.body
In comparing the two websites, there are a lot of differences with only a number of similarities. Firstly, Pocket and Pinterest are forums which are free of charge to use and can only be accessed through a device with internet connection.

The apps allow users to identify their likes and then the app uses this information to tailor the clients feed based on their preferences. The two bring the user to an additional website with additional information. Both forums allow users to manage their information by pinning or saving any content which they find beneficial or useful for themselves. This data can be arranged on features or similarities, easy to identify and find suitable information.

Both apps also include options for sharing their findings to other websites such as Facebook and or twitter.

# data[].attributes.body
When contrasting the two websites, the main difference would be that Pockets content is based on text and encourages users to read further to find out the necessary information, whereas Pinterest displays pictures and videos which is eye catching and shows the finer details.

Pinterest aims to show the users new content related to their interests and inspires the user to uncover new aspects which they may not have seen before.

Pocket has a discovery page which shows the readers the most recent trending or popular reads.

Pocket provides more information on their topics, and I think
it is a better option for education as it provides more data, for example historical based topics. However, Pinterest has increased advantages in relation to personal life and highlight life hacks or different ways to complete tasks, such as how to style hair.

Pinterest can also allow you to link with other members and
share content and message one another this is not an option on Pocket.

Users can create their own personalise pin through Pinterest
in this they have the option to add their own photos, and descriptions about their topic, in contrast to Pocket, where this is not an option.

Air transport of passengers in European Countries.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This map represents the range of values in air travels by each European country.

# data[].attributes.body
Firstly, I examined eurostat and tried to find a topic which I had an interest in. I looked through the transport data. I then filtered the information that was neccessary for my work, this including data that was revelant and up to date in addition to clearing any data that was not neccessary.  I downloaded the file onto Excel.

Next, I progressed onto creating the map, this included picking out a map, transferring my data across, making changes, aligning information and ensuring my work appeared visually well.

# data[].attributes.body
I found padlet very useful for my project. My work appears well as the features allow for it to be organised and it is easy to identify each section.

I like how padlet allows the users to incorporate colours, images and sounds into their work. This allows for a big level of creativity and it has enabled me to create a unique project using it's various features.

# data[].attributes.body
I found this task interesting and I think the tutorial video by Jane really assisted me. However I did struggle with coming up with an idea and finding the neccessary data. I found using Datawrapper easy and efficient, there was lots of different options I could use to personalise my map.

I chose to demonstrate how to create to create bullet point lists as I think its very benefical for a CV. Not many others are aware of how to complete this tasks but it can be achieved in a small number of steps.

# data[].attributes.body
I did struggle when choosing an idea that was unique but short. I did go over the timing limit however I feel I could not have made the video any shorter without losing the neccessary details. However I encounter a diffculty when it came to uploading my video to Youtube, it would not allow me to make an account through my UCD email, I overcame this issue by creating an account through my phone.

# data[].attributes.body
I found this a very interesting task and I enjoyed completing it. It did take me a few takes to ensure I had everything in place. In my opinion this is an extremely benefical way of learning as you can see what the person is doing as well as them talking through the process. This would be extremely helpful for using excel as there is a lot of information involved.

# data[].attributes.body
This is me correcting my peers work and evaluating their contribution. I had to rate their work out of ten and then leave a positive and a helpful comment at the end.

# data[].attributes.body
This is the next stage when I will review my peers work.

I already had a LinkedIn account. I find it very useful for networking and learning new information through the feed. I would tend to use the app on a regular basis, as I can connect with others and promote myself for work on the forum.

How can I apply my learning on this module to create a Personal Digital Strategy which supports my control of my digital presence?

# data[].attributes.body
This is me correcting my peer's work and providing them with some feedback on how I feel they could advance their piece of work.

# data[].attributes.body
I decided to use Piktochart for my graphic as it has a vast range of tools to avail of to give my piece individuality as well as make it appear visually well

# data[].attributes.body
I am adding more information to my LinkedIn to differentiate me from others. Skills are essential elements to show previous experience and what abilities I can bring on board.

# data[].attributes.body
I used computers for my graphics, as they display the information effectively whilst also conveying the digital aspect.

# data[].attributes.body
I went for a neutral colour scheme of pink, purple, black, white, and grey. These colours mix well together and can be easily read. I wanted colours which were eye-catching. I kept my writing to a minimum, as I feel infographics are understood better with less writing.

1)  Only storing information on the individual, if the case arises that they are misusing the app or taking advantage of other users. Proof of misapplication or harassment can be provided and lead to the removal of the user. Information will not be given to any third parties unless sufficient reasons are provided eg. Police warranty.

2) May provide adverts or posts which are similar to previous usage. If you as the user do not want to avail of this, you can opt for this to stop.  Suggestions will be based on history and current following on the forum.

3) The user has the right to remove or permanently delete any information or data about themselves, that they have posted or shared throughout the app.

4) Any user can be provided with support about how to effectively make use of Facebook, a list of applications available can be found in settings under the personal section. If the user feels someone is abusing the app, they can seek support through settings and receive feedback on how to deal with the issue.

5) To remain safe the user can set a feature that they can choose who can see and contact them in their page. Additionally, they can prevent friends of friends from viewing post, this will lead to enhanced safety and so the user feels comfortable posting their information. Also, information can be provided on how to efficiently make use of the app and the tools associated.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose Facebook as it is an app I use frequently and is very popular. The forum allows me to communicate and network with others, whilst also acquiring information. It’s essential that the forum has sufficient plans. I felt it was important to keep my policy concise and to the point, to ensure the users read it and can easily identify their rights. Understanding why and how data is being stored is vital for users and to know their rights. I think the app should only gather information that is necessary and for their own sake in the instance of legal issues.

# data[].attributes.body
I found this a bit of a difficult task because it's complex when creating regulations that meet the expectations of all users. Also, some people value safety more than others may. Trying to keep them short was also a struggle as they need to have a certain amount of depth. Lastly, in the case of legal issues certain levels of data need to be stored therefore online forums need to gather specific information.

# data[].attributes.body
Reading and interpreting my peer's advice. This is important to me, as it allows me to view my work from a different perspective. Additionally, receiving feedback is beneficial to identify any weak or strong points in my work.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I really enjoyed this task, as LinkedIn is a network I use on a regular basis. I feel it is essential for me to remain aware and present myself successfully

# data[].attributes.body
This task was interesting to me, as I would not consider displaying information through infographics before. I did find it difficult to portray an image that looked well and contained a sufficient level of information. Upon completion, I realise the value of an infographic for me in providing information to others. I like how appealing they are in comparison to a Word document, and they are easily interpreted.
