Assignment:
In this module, you have explored a variety of texts that focus on globalization's consequences. In thinking about personal involvement with social networking (even without Twitter, Facebook, or other tools, this course lands you squarely in the category of social networking), consider the online classroom as a social space of learning (which it is).
What are some of the more significant differences in the learning/classroom experience in an online environment versus a face-to-face one? Make broad use of the course material for this week as well as your own examples.
In your responses to classmates, discuss positive and negative aspects of the features they mentioned in regard to both online classroom environments and face-to-face classroom environments.
For this reflective journal assignment, you should compare health care or education to the fast-food industry based on the efficiency of McDonaldization through web research coupled with the course material for this module.
Choose any category of the health care industry (pharmaceutical or women's health, for instance) or any area of education (online education [for-profit or nonprofit], community college, or K-12 schooling) and provide an analysis of this category/area against the efficiency model of McDonaldization presented in this module.
You must also include at least one web-based article or website to contribute to the analysis.
For additional details, please refer to the Journal Rubric document in the Assignment Guidelines .
For your final presentation, you will devise a plan of action for addressing a global connectedness issue of your choice.
For this milestone, submit a two- to three-page outline of your final project presentation. Think of it as a script with notes to help add context to the points you will be making. It does not need to use complete sentences or paragraphs, but it should contain enough detail to allow your instructor to offer you some feedback. Note that this outline, with revisions, can serve as your speaker notes for the final project submission.
For additional details, please refer to the Milestone Two Rubric document in the Assignment Guidelines.
This milestone assignment consists of submitting an outline for your final project, think of it as a "script" for your final project. This does not mean you need complete sentences, but enough information for your professor to provide feedback. Here is a good example of how to structure your outline:??
I. Main point follows a Roman numeral
A. Minor points follow behind capital letters
B. Each minor point must refer to or be part of a major point above
1. If there are subpoints below the minor point, use Arabic numerals
2. Notice that each point is indented from according to importance
a. If there are points below subpoints, they use lower case letters
b. They are indented below the subpoint and are related to the subpoint or part of the subpoint above it
II. Next major point follows Roman numeral II

II. Issue:
Introduce the issue and describe how it relates to diversity and any of the topics that were addressed in the course.
III. Plan of action:
