I3_02-Workplace

Summary of my process for these Learning Activities:

LEARNING ACTIVITY 01 Workplace
Read the Worksafe Tasmania document for new employees and answered the questions in sentence format. My responses are in the 'Workplace' PDF document linked below.

LEARNING ACTIVITY 02 Communication Research
Read the information provided on Communication. I visually interpreted two of the slides. My submissions are in the Workplace document linked below. 

The above image is one that I produced, but did not submit. It was for the slide 'Actions speak louder than words'. This did not make the cut as it does not visually represent body language and was rejected. It was created using Photoshop and I used visual references from Google>Images for ideas.

The images used and produced for this activity were also sourced from Google>Images, as were the visual references used. The initial steps of this process can be viewed in my Thumbnail process, documented in my Visual Diary.

LEARNING ACTIVITY 03 Effective Communication
Does it look OK to you? I practiced effective communication by providing positive feedback. I have left my comments on the Industry 3 Forum titled ‘I3 WORKPLACE LA 03 Communication’ as required. My response can also be found in the Workplace document linked below. The initial steps of this activity can be found in my Thumb nail process, in the above visual diary link.

LEARNING ACTIVITY 04 Client Interaction
My ‘client’ is the person who is paying for their business card, which is to be designed by me. I met with the client in person to discuss their needs. Read the required information on how to prepare and upload files to a printer. Wrote down my comments in the Workplace document linked below, under the heading ‘LA 04 Checklist’.

LEARNING ACTIVITY 05 Forms of Communication – Spelling
Answered the questions for A, B, C, D, E and F categories, which can be found in the Workplace document linked below under the heading ‘LA 05 Spelling’.

LEARNING ACTIVITY 06 Discretion and Confidentiality
Wrote down my comments in the Workplace document, using the heading ‘LA 06 Confidentiality’. Left my comment on the Industry 3 Forum titled ‘i3 WORKPLACE LA 06 Confidentiality’.

Completed and combined all the above Learning Activities into one Word document using the headings for each. Saved this document as PDF, named ‘Workplace’ and it is view able here. If opening in Adobe Acrobat, bookmarks are available for access to each Learning Activity.

• Internet applications and security
• Locating information on the internet
• Email use
• Industry newsgroups, forums and blogs
LEARNING ACTIVITY 01 Searching
Read through the website on recommended search engines which table the most common
search engine and describe how they work. Can you add to this list?
http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/SearchEngines.html
www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/Googling_Max-Exercises.pdf
Activity Criteria: Read through the above documents and leave your comment on the Industry 3
Forum titled ‘i3 INTERNET LA01 Searching’. Share your knowledge on this topic. What are your tips on searching for files on the internet?

• Read through the website below on email etiquette. Can you add anything?

Links provided did not work and instead I Google searched 'email etiquette'. Top two results used and linked below.

Share your knowledge on this topic.

• What are your ‘pet hates’ in regards to email etiquette?

My process
1. I accessed the activity resources and links. Followed the links, bookmarked for future reference. Followed activities as suggested.

2. Add to the list of search engines:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_search_engines

3. Add to the Google search terms and resources:
Always remember to to search in just images, video or news. Also, to narrow searches use the search tools to filter region of publish, date and search term. Google Scholar is a data base of research documents and Google Books is a data base of public domain books all available for viewing or downloading and there are many other categories of these databases.

4. By participating in the is activity I have added to my GD resource page;

Quality internet/google searching guide

Recommended search engines Both have been linked under the newly created Technology subheading; as well I have added a public file; Graphic Design online tools/websites document which I will add to throughout the course.

5. Researched email etiquette.

http://www.netmanners.com/e-mail-etiquette-tips/

http://www.ict.griffith.edu.au/~davidt/email_etiquette.htm

The links, especially the first one are very comprehensive and I have nothing of value to add. My pet hates with emails and etiquette? Co-workers who do not put an Out-of-office message/notification when they are not in the office for an extended period.
