Of course, these are generalizations with exceptions occurring in each group of learners, but you may want to keep these differences in mind as you consider the learner population you expect in your online course. The design of your course would be influenced by your expected student population.

Great article on leadership, check it out and provide me your input. Being a leader doesn't always mean being the one in charge.
Leadership can happen throughout all levels of the organization chart. Leadership is about influence. A leader knows how to Influence others to follow their guidance and direction.
Traditionally, we think of leaders who lead or influence those who are positioned below them. While this is often the case, leadership can actually occur in all directions.
===> A true leader will know how to influence those who work alongside them as well as those who work above them. <===
Knowing how to influence your supervisor involves some strategic leadership skills. The one who is positioned to lead you will not be swayed easily. This idea is often referred to as leading up or upward leadership.

- acknowledge that parents and guardians need to trust the content and services their children access and commit to continue working with industry and other stakeholders so that parents and children can make informed choices online.

Informez-vous des risques qui affectent les petites entreprises. Obtenez des renseignements sur ce que recherchent les cybercriminels et comment ils obtiennent ces données.
Cela indique que pratiquement toutes les petites entreprises sont aux prises avec des virus, des vers, des chevaux de Troie, des réseaux de zombies et d'autres logiciels malveillants. En fait, cela est vrai pour tout utilisateur en ligne.
===> Que ce soit un utilisateur à la maison ou une grande entreprise internationale. <===
Bien que moins communes, les attaques provenant du Web, les vols de dispositifs, l'hameçonnage et l'ingénierie sociale sont assez fréquentes pour que l'on y prête attention. Pour réduire les risques, il faut plus que la simple protection d'un système informatique.
===> Il faut aussi éduquer les employés au sujet de la cybersécurité. <===
Les dénis de services sont rarement rapportés par les petites entreprises. Si vous croyez qu'une telle menace affecte votre entreprise, communiquez avec votre fournisseur de service Internet.

A team of researchers have created a proof-of-concept piece of malware that can give attackers control of USB smart card readers attached to an infected Windows computer over the Internet.
In the case of USB smart card readers, the attacker can use the middleware software provided by the smart card manufacturer to perform operations with the victim's card as if it was attached to his own computer, said Paul Rascagneres, an IT security consultant at Luxembourg-based security auditing and consulting firm Itrust Consulting, last week. Rascagneres is also the founder and leader of a malware analysis and engineering project called malware.lu, whose team designed this USB sharing malware.
There are already documented cases of malware that hijacks smart card devices on the local computer and uses them through the API (application programming interface) provided by the manufacturer.

The US isn’t likely to become adequate any time soon. Our economy is not designed to run on that level of protection, what with personal information fueling high flyers on the US stock markets and legions of start-ups right behind them.
The EU also protects what is known as “sensitive information.” Sensitive information includes racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, health or sex life. And while the US generally defines personal information almost mathematically as Name + SSN/Bank or Health Info = Personal Information, the EU is much more broad with their circular definition of personal information as "any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person."
Privacy in the US focuses from a legislative standpoint on preventing the theft of one’s identity, resulting in a negative financial impact. Privacy in the EU is far broader, not limited to financial concerns, and regulated by data protection authorities at the EU and country level.
