IV. LEARNING PHASES AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES

I. Introduction (Time Frame: 1 Hour)

In the previous lesson, we’ve discussed Communication Skills. That includes Communication
Bariers, the Purposes of Communication in Tour Guiding and its Importance.

Preliminary Activity:
UNLOCKING OF DIFFICULTIES. Think of five (5) words that associate the terms on a bubble. Then
from the five your five words given. Define the word. Write your answer on another sheet of paper.

Proper Use of Electronic Resources

The protocols for borrowing, reusing, and modifying information on the Web are less well-defined
than they are in more traditional academic work, and are far less diligently observed. With the Web’s
countless sites offering text and images for the taking, the lines between public and private ownership
of intellectual property have become blurry. The depersonalized nature of electronic information can
devalue the sense of intellectual ownership: the information seems to belong to nobody and to
everybody. This creates two different problems.
First, because one cannot readily trace the sources for the information found on the Web, one
may feel less obligated to acknowledge electronic sources.
At Bocconi, you are expected to observe the regulations for academic citation of all sources, print
or electronic. The same rules apply to copying verbatim text or images, paraphrasing, and summarizing
material from the Web.
Information and quotations from electronic resources must be properly acknowledged, including
personal e-mail correspondence.

Second, given that information and data available on the Web may not receive the same
stringent review as more traditional scholarly sources, it is necessary to be extra careful about evaluating
and acknowledging Web sources for such information.
 Unlike most books and journal articles, which undergo strict editorial review before publication,
much of the information on the Web is self-published. For vast amounts of Web-based information, no
impartial reviewers have evaluated the accuracy or fairness of such material before it’s made available
across the globe. Websites may provide partial, deceptive, or false information. Before you take
information from a source you have found on the Internet, assess its reliability by looking for the following:
1. Name of the author (is it a student or a recognized authority?).
2. Name of sponsoring institution (If you cannot locate this information or you are not sure of
the reliability of the institution, do not use the information.)
3. Date of posting
As a researcher using the Web, you must be extremely careful about the validity of the
information that you find.

Wikipedia
Many use Wikipedia as a source of information when searching for a quick explanation of
something. However, Wikipedia or other wikis, collaborative information sites contributed to by a variety
of people, cannot always be considered reliable sources for academic citation.
The bibliography published at the end of the Wikipedia entry may point you to potential
sources. However, do not assume that these sources are reliable – use the same criteria to judge them
as you would any other source.

D. Development (Time Frame: 1 Hour )

Accuracy web-based information

Do not assume the information you find on the Internet is necessarily accurate. Everything on the
Internet has been written by someone and needs to be cited whenever possible. Simply including a URL
may not enough. If the ultimate source cannot be traced, probably the information is not accurate and
should not be used.

Authenticity of Social Media Posts

In evaluating social media posts, the authenticity of the author should be assessed. If you are in
doubt of the person’s true identity, do not use the source.
When you must cite a social media source, cite it by its complete URL. This ensures you are
accurately reflecting your source to the reader.

Plagiarism in computer programs

Writing a computer code is similar to academic writing in that when you use or adapt a code
developed by someone else as part of your project, you must cite your source. However, instead of
quoting or paraphrasing a source, you include an inline comment in the code. These comments not
only ensure you are giving proper credit but help with code understanding and debugging.
In those cases, where individual computer programs are submitted based on work involving
collaboration, you must acknowledge the extent of the collaboration when the program is submitted.
When you copy a code from an external source, whether you are copying just a few lines of a
code or an entire module, you must credit the source.
When you copy the code and adapt it, you should still credit the source.
= To cite the code, generally the URL and the date of retrieval are sufficient.
= If you adapted the code, you should indicate “Adapted from:” or “Based on” so it is understood
that you modified the code.

Writing codes and Open-source software’s

When you use code from an open-source project, you need both to attribute the source and
follow the terms of any open-source license that applies to the code you are using.
 When you download the source, the license is typically part of the download. Also, the source
code itself will typically contain the copyright and terms of use.
When you incorporate open-source-licensed code into a program, it is good practice to
duplicate the copyright in your code, and/or store the license in a file with the code.
Although it is common practice to adapt code examples found on the web, you should never
copy a code from other students. Your peers are not considered an authorized source. You should not
simply re-use code as the solution to an assignment.

VI. REFLECTION (Time Frame: 1 Hour)

• Communicate your personal assessment as indicated in the Learner’s Assessment Card.
Personal Assessment on Learner’s Level of Performance
Using the symbols below, choose one which best describes your experience in working on each given
task. Draw it in the column for Level of Performance (LP). Be guided by the descriptions below:
