The criminal justice system is meant to protect the innocent, and punish those who are guilty of a crime. However, no system is perfect, and as a result, sometimes the innocent become victims of the system that was meant to protect them. How exactly do these innocent people become victims of the system? Sometimes the person gets framed, and the crime scene is staged to point a finger at them. Sometimes, there is no strong physical evidence against them, yet circumstantial evidence is used by the crown to put them away. This happened to a 17 year old boy named Adnan Syed in Baltimore, Maryland, who was imprisoned for life, for the alleged murder of his ex-girlfriend Hae Lee. Throughout the Serial podcast, Sarah Koenig is able to critically analyze information which proves Adnan’s innocence. Firstly, Asia’s letters gave Adnan an alibi for the time of the murder. Secondly, Adnan’s innocence can be demonstrated through the lack of any strong evidence and the prosecution’s use of circumstantial evidence which can be disproved. Thirdly, Jay’s constantly changing testimony is not credible evidence of Adnan’s guilt, making him innocent.

Technological advances in the 21st century have changed the world of education forever. The refinement of web-based technology has allowed a growing number of institutions to offer increasingly complex online education courses (Kim & Bonk, 2006, p. 22). The growing presence of online education has created a student body that is intergenerational and more culturally diverse (Ke & Kwak, 2012, p. 43). Powerful, ubiquitous mobile devices have linked students to an information-sharing network that allows students to engage in spontaneous, informal learning, yet is all but invisible to instructors (Kukulska-Hulme, 2010, p. 7). These changes have created both a problem and an opportunity. The problem is that formal learning – the type of learning where an instructor imparts knowledge to students based on a fixed curriculum (Looi et al. 2009, p. 3) – is, by itself, increasingly unable to meet the needs of this modern student body. The opportunity is that if certain obstacles are overcome, mobile technology and learner-centered designs may potentially be used to create a bridge between formal and informal learning, increasing student engagement and paving the way for better results.

DG - Serial Informative Essay Final Draft Justice has not been served for Hae Min Lee, a eighteen year old girl that was strangled to death in her car then found four weeks later in Leakin park. I think that Adnan Syed(Hae’s ex-boyfriend) is not guilty he gave his phone to his friend jay that day. Jay may say he did not have Adnan’s phone but the calls that the cell towers received only make sense in adnan’s story not only that, but Jay has lied about a lot or should I say changed his story up throughout the serial podcast episodes 1-5. My class has been listening to Serial the podcast, the author Sarah Koenig leave very discreet messages that make me believe Adnan Syed is non-guilty. The first reason being

Technology is a part of everyday life and being integrated into more and more fields every day. Computers and the Internet are used in every aspect of our daily lives. With that being said online learning has become more and more prevalent. Most colleges and university have an online learning presence in order to extend the university reach and to help better serve the students who can’t make it into a physical classroom. In this article, Read Only Participants: Communication in online classes, authors Nagel, Blignaut, and Cronj (2009) takes on the argument that participation is a key reason for a student to be successful in the class.

Have you ever woken up late, been sick, or had a flat tire and missed class? Students at Arapahoe Community College currently have a limited amount of resources available when they are absent from class. There are two options to catch up on coursework: getting the information from their peers and meeting with the teacher. However, these options require a lot of effort and are very time-consuming. Student peers are not always available to help and the teacher’s schedule for office hours may not work for the students. With a majority of the student population working full-time and committing time to raising families, these options are a roadblock to the student 's learning. Taking time out of an already busy schedule is the last resort a student wants to take. There must be an alternative to comprehend the material when students miss class lectures. By integrating class broadcasts at Arapahoe Community College, students will be able to attend class virtually; virtual broadcasts will benefit the students financially, academically, and will use the technology to its full advantage.  Virtual class broadcasts will allow flexibility to the student 's schedule and will allow them to view recorded lectures on their own time.

The podcasts are discussions between four doctors. Dr. Bob Murray the director of the Gatorade Sports Science Institute is the mediator and Dr. Martin Gibala a physiology professor at McMaster University, Dr. Jeff Zachwieja a scientist at the Gatorade Sports Science Institute and Dr. Chris Rosenbloom the dean of academic affairs in the College of Health and Human Sciences and a professor in the Division of Nutrition at Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA.

When making a decision to participate in online learning, there are numerous decisions that must be made by the participant. Setting aside time specifically for online learning is a must in order to be successful. It is important to read the syllabus to establish timelines for reading and completing assignments in a timely manner. Having the option of working with others in learning communities can afford opportunities to share ideas and collaborate with other learners. Nagel, Blignaut & Cronje, (2007) talked extensively about the establishment of an online community as a prerequisite

Technology has brought huge influences on everyone’s lives, and one of the influences is reflecting on education-collective learning. The Duke University brought iPod as an academic device and educational experiment to all the first-year class students. The iPod inverts the traditional role of technology, which has many new functions. Students can not only listen to music, but also use the iPod as an academic device to share knowledge with others. This concept can be seen in Project Classroom Makeover, by Cathy Davidson. In Project Classroom Makeover, Davidson introduces the use of iPod as an educational experiment, which brings out the idea of crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing is a group of people will share their ideas and solve the problem, which is one way of collective learning. In the Duke University, students will collaborate and share creative ideas together. Collective learning has played a positive role in education by regaining students’ interest of studying, improving student’s collaborate thinking, and increasing the likelihood of students to success in the future.

As we continue in the future, online classes are becoming more and more popular. Students are able to work and continue education with more flexibility. The most common problem with the online class is communication, as well as learning is not always successful. In a recent article by Maria Konnikova, Ziming Liu, a professor at San Jose State University suggests, “On screen, people tended to browse and scan, to look for keywords, and to read in a less linear, more selective fashion. On the page, they tended to concentrate more on following the text.”(Konnikova. Par. 3). Perhaps instead of just an online class, an instructor combines the two. Some parts of the class, such as video lectures should be presented online, and other things like homework or work be done in class.

This paper in a notable version captures the changes made to the podcast version of the “New Podcast! POOF!” The podcast was performed by Lynn Nottage and is compared to the print version. The podcast version is aired on electronic media such as radios and television. There are various changes and modifications that have been made to the print version to give rise to the Podcast version which is important for efficiency and attracting a huge audience.

Mobile phones are the communication device that can connect people with others in any places. Students nowadays rely on mobile phones as their communication devices with friends and parents. Some of them think mobile phones as a learning tool. Are they really essential as a learning tool? This essay will argue that mobile phones are a necessary tool for education but also they are not necessary tool for education. Firstly, it will explain why mobile phones are a necessary tool for education. Then it will explain why they are not.

Therefore, with the viewpoint of the writers it elaborates that mobile devices, internet and graphical games are the three types of e-learning that has created curiosity, a sense of social interaction and eagerness to learn new thing among students and the content of these technologies are based on recent curriculum. This helps a student to follow well defined instructions and to share opnions and discussions online for better assessment.

Back Seat Rider: A Question About Men was an interesting podcast that connected these chapters about the web and how radios are streamed online. The connection did not seem evident at first, but it was easy to understand that the podcast is something that is streamed online. It was also interesting to connect everything we have talked about this semester and still force myself to see and hear new things. I was even able to find
