Beginning the Dissertation Journey

It's been awhile, a long awhile. But now it's time to start a new personal journey the Disseration Journey.

For the next twelve months, I will begin resarching, reading, and writing my Doctoral Disseration on Cybersecurity Education. I intend to successfully defend my disseration next summer in 2022. To accomplish this feat, I plan to write daily for at least an hour or two developing my ideas and thoughts for cleaning up and evenutally synthesizing for my final draft disseration.

I plan is to regulary post my progress on my disseration writing. While potentially fleshing out many of my curiosities to help clarify my writings and keep progressing to that final draft.

Why do humans change behavior when cameras focus on them?

Having attended the Orlando Magic game last night, I noticed whenever one of the in-staduim, television cameras focused on an individual, the individual would, all of sudden, change his or her facial expressions and body language. This sudden change ranged from pointing at the overhead LED stadium display, to filming themselves with their smartphone, to dancing and singing, and other extreme demonstrations of garning more attention. But why? Do all humans need attention from other humans?

Is it because they have never been on television or an LED dispay? Or perhaps they are attempting gain more attention than the previous individual who was just displayed by camera? What if it is a product of a bigger issue such as attention gathering on social media. I tentatively call this phenomenon, cybernarcissim. Cybernarcissim is the result of individuals attempting to garner attention from the online self-promotion of themselves via selfies, videos, textual posts, etc.

In considering an oppposite perspective, one individual during last night's game hid her face once she realized she was on display in the stadium. The individual was a small young girl sitting in between her parents. From this observation, one may assume her resistance to self-promoting herself because she has not been exposed to online social media because of her age. Another argument is that she has a shy personality-type. Whether shy or too young for social media, not all individuals have the need to self-promote which I find quite interesting for continued research on human behavior and narcisstic traits.

Real Estate Transport Protocol Abstract for ARES18

The following abstract was submitted to the 2018 American Real Estate Society conference this spring in Bonita Springs, Florida. The aim is to focus on the infrastructure and transport areas for a new protocol called Real Estate Transport Protocol or RETP for short. I previously gave a talk at ARES back in 2012 on a request-response protocol by the name of Multiple Listing Service Network Protocol (MLSN). Future papers will focus on the messaging and security areas for both RETP and MLSN.

Title: Real Estate Transport Protocol: A Hub-and-Spoke Messaging System for Next Generation Multiple Listing Services

Current multiple listing services (MLS) operate as isolated systems due to tight coupling to their local markets and a lack of interoperability for provisioning listings outside of their local areas. Moreover, these legacy MLSs act as controlled gateways eliminating a network effect for maximizing marketability of listings to non-local buyers. This paper proposes a new, distributed messaging protocol called Real Estate Transport Protocol (RETP) for resolving weaknesses and inefficiencies present in today’s legacy MLSs. RETP provides a fire-and-forget messaging transport over assigned Internet port 32811. Implementing a virtualized infrastructure, RETP’s messaging protocol creates a hub-and-spoke network topology for provisioning listing messages to a centralized hub from connected nodes acting as network spokes similar to FedEx’s package shipping model. The results of this research offer three messaging use cases: node to hub, node to hub to node, and then finally, node to hub to multiple nodes. Immediate benefits realized from the implementation of RETP include, but not limited to, network scalability, data redundancy, and the potential of a national multiple listing service.

Netizen Zone Pilot Podcast

For my distance education course this semester, I was required to create a podcast covering our choice of educational topics. I chose the topic of Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC). DNSSEC falls under the area of internet governance and cybersecurity, two areas I have studied in the past and am studying currently. For creating the podcast, I used Audacity for editing and mixing the vocal and music tracks into an mp3 audio format.

The pilot podcast can be downloaded from here.

Google Video Advertising Certified

Adding to my current list of professional certifications, I took and passed the Google Video Advertising Certification exam. From studying for the exam, I gained key insights into how YouTube advertising works and how can be beneficial for organizations to promote their products and services using not only clickable ad links, but also video ads. My next goal is to take the Google Shopping exam and then at the end of the month, the Google Certified Educator exam which encompasses five tests: Gmail, Calendar, Sites, Docs and Drive, and Chrome Browser. The final two certifications remaining after the Google Educator certification are Google Trainer and Google Teacher which are both in my list of earning.

Predicting Season 31 Second Chance Cast

Following the conclusion of Season 30's live reunion, Season 31 Second Chance cast will be announced. The potentials for next season encompass all returnees from Survivor's classic seasons to modern seasons. For the past two weeks, I have been voting online for castaways who I think should play in Season 31. Below are the ten men and ten women voted by yours truly to play, hopefully.

10 Men for Season 31: Second Chance

  • Jim Rice
  • Keith Nale
  • Shane Powers
  • Stephen Fishbach
  • Jeff Varner
  • Spencer Bledsoe
  • Troyzan Robertson
  • Terry Deitz
  • Andrew Savage
  • Vtas Baskauskas

10 Women for Season 31: Second Chance

  • Kass McQuillen
  • Monica Padilla
  • Natalie Tenerelli
  • Sabrina Thompson
  • Tasha Fox
  • Teresa T-bird Cooper
  • Kelley Wentworth
  • Kelly Wigglesworth
  • Kimmi Kappenberg

From these ten men and ten women, my favorites to win are Kass McQuillen and Spencer Bledsoe due to their blossoming rivalry dating back to Season 28 Cagayan. Either way, this season should be not only entertaining, but also intriguing to watch for many reasons.

Prediction for Survivor 30 Winner

Once again, another season of Survivor is drawing to a conclusion. So, a final prediction is well in order for predicting who will become the Sole Survivor for Season 30 Worlds Apart. Last year, I correctly predicted that Natalie Anderson would win due to her actions taken during Season 29 along with her game play at the end. With that mind, here is my prediction for Season 30.

With just five castaways left, the obvious two choices, Mike and Carolyn, are the favorites to win. They have both won the majority of the immunity and reward challenges after the merge. However, each must win the final two immunity challenges in order to have a change to make it to the Final Tribal since they are the strongest players left at this point. This means if either Mike or Carolyn lose one of the final challenges, he or she will be voted out. In contrast, Will and Sierra are the weakest of the five remaining players. This would mean that they are not pressured to win, but in effect, able to lose both challenges and still make the Final Tribal Council due to their weaker game play, physical and strategic. Will and Sierra are most likely to be taken to the final three by either Mike and Carolyn which would make one of the stronger players, again, the winner and sole survivor. Will and Sierra may receive a vote or two for their efforts, but, in the end, it won't matter for either one of them.

Then, there is Rodney. The guy who has been imprisoned, or so to say, at camp escameca for the entire season. Besides winning a steak at the auction, Rodney has endured a unique journey when compared to the others this season, mentally and physically. He has not won any reward challenges nor taken part in any of them. A common visual of Rodney is his presence sitting in one of the camp chairs staring at the fire or eating a small portion of rice. His sitting at camp metaphorically represents his sitting on the sidelines of a basketball game or on a football field. This metaphor was developed earlier in the season by Rodney who suggested he was similar to the great Michael Jordan and Tom Brady for describing his game play. While attempting to vote out his number one nemesis Mike, Rodney has formed sub-alliances only to be denied by Mike winning immunity challenges. From the above statements and story line, my prediction is that Rodney will overcome Mike and then Carolyn for going on to win Sole Survivor this season. Rodney only needs to win one immunity challenge, the last one, to defeat either Carolyn or Mike, to go on to plead his underdog case in front of the jury. Undeniably, he receives more votes than Sierra and Will who receive, second and third places, respectively. Boston Rod's win solidifies his sports metaphors dictated earlier, his white air jordans worn, and his place among the other twenty-eight sole survivor winners as he becomes the twenty-ninth winner.

The Problem with Online Content Regurgitation

As of late, I recently became aware of a problem with online content and how it potentially affects the Web. It seems that there are two types of content published: 1) the original or primary source and 2) a copy or slightly varied version of the primary content referencing the primary content source. For example, an organization may publish a press release to its website describing a new product or service. A blogger may pickup the news of the new product or service and post a blog on his or her website describing the new product or service and perhaps linking to the original source.

The problem is that the secondary publishers of original content are simply regurgitating the original content in an attempt to, perhaps, increase user viewership of their websites from additional content or to display more web ads on the same web page of the secondary content. For instance, when reading my daily subreddits on reddit.com today, I noticed a link to the new features for Google Fit, a tool for recording human fitness and performance metrics. However, instead of posting the original content to the subreddit, a secondary article describing the original or primary content was posted for users to read. However, this secondary, published content simply regurgitated the primary source's content. It lacked additional insight regarding the new features for Google Fit which can be considered online content regurgitation.

Here are the actual links posted today:

Primary Source Link by Google: Google Fit: Make every step count

Secondary Source Link by Android Police: Google Fit v1.52 Brings Distance Tracking, Calorie Estimates, A New Widget, And A Watch Face

As one can see, the secondary source clearly regurgitates the primary source's content while providing latest deals links and other distracting content surrounding the content. A possible solution to this problem may be the inclusion of a primary source link directly referencing the original source of content by the primary provider. This primary source link could be located with a neutral, third-party website listing primary source links and secondary source links. A possible model for following and improving at the same time is the permalink model which helps avoids link rot. Unfortunately, permalink does not resolve the issue of primary source regurgitation by secondary source publishers. Perhaps, a new project undertaking is on the horizon.

Initial Netizen OS Ontological Graph

In an effort to organize my attempts at building an open source operating system, I have employed an ontology tool called Protege. The purpose for the tool is to help me efficiently and effectively add, annotate, and classify new Fedora software packages as I proceed through each new iteration of the operating system.

Initial Netizen OS Ontological Graph

Above is an example graph I exported from Protege. It represents three classes: Engagement, Security, and Privacy. Each of these classes will contain new Fedora software packages classified within this ontology and the Fedora Netizen operating system.

In summary, my goal is to build the ontology in parallel with the new iterations of the operating system so that a graphical representation will be available for new and current users of the system to view and reference.

Survivor San Juan del Sur Winner Prediction

Keeping to my tradition of predicting a Survivor winner, I will attempt to offer evidence for who will win tonight's Sole Survivor title.

Throughout the last twelve weeks, the Survivor editors have been inconspicuously dropping visual hints that Natalie, one of the twinnies, will win this season. Early in the season, Natalie was shown finding the controversial lost flint which was an early plot point unbeknownst to most viewers and yours truly. Next, while sending everyone else at camp to collect water, Natalie took the initiative to find a hidden immunity idol buried by the campfire for someone to find eventually. Moreover, when confronted by this season's anti-hero, Jon, Natalie not only saved Jon by telling him to play his idol, but also beat him in a vase balancing challenge.

Adding to her winner's resume, Natalie then proceeded to deceive Jon and Jaclyn by saying she would vote out Keith, but instead voting out Alec which obviously frustrated Jon and Jaclyn after the vote. She then planned and implemented a plan to blindside Jon by splitting the votes and then easily voting out Jon from the revote. Enhancing her resume, many times Natalie's conversations were visually presented in subtitles to viewers which is used as an important moment by the editors for conveying not only what is happening, but also a pivotal moment in the game.

Finally, while at Exile Island, Natalie offers an emotional loneliness from not being with her twin sister for more than thirty days which pulls on the emotional strings of viewers. Script writers love to use this type of emotional mechanism against viewers for touching a broad range of emotions during a major motion picture, documentary, or other type of film production.

From the above evidence I provided, Natalie's winner montage will include all of the above moments I mentioned, if not more, when she is eventually crowned Season 29 Blood versus Water San Juan del Sur winner tonite as the Sole Survivor. This is my prediction.

Psychology of Survivor

Last week, the latest installment of the show Survivor began its 29th season shot in Nicaragua. This season's theme is Blood versus Water which matches up loved ones to compete for the one million grand prize. My fascination with the show stems back to my high school days where I was introduced to the book, The Lord of the Flies (LOTF) by William Golding. Golding's book mesmerized me then and still does today, which explains why I continue to be fascinated by Survivor, a show based on my all-time favorite book LOTF.

From my recent graduate studies, I was lucky to have studied psychologist Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs for humans and animals. Maslow suggested all humans are motivated to satisfy their basic needs of food, shelter, excretion, homeostasis, breathing, water, sex, and sleep. After these lower level needs are satisfied, Maslow posit that other levels are then sought after by humans. The other levels are safety, social, esteem, and then finally self-actualization. Coincidentally, the players in Survivor attempt to satisfy these same needs suggested by Maslow's model throughout the show.

In an effort to enjoy watching this season while applying Maslow's psychological work, I developed a pilot fantasy scoring game. Somewhat similar to scoring in fantasy football, game players draft castaways on their teams for earning points during the season. The fantasy game player or tribal owner who accumulates the most points at the end of the season wins the game. My goal is to develop the fantasy game in HTML5 for eventually using as an educational tool in the classroom. To start out, the following is an alpha version of the scoring breakdown for the physiology level:

Physiology Points: Breathing, Food, Water, Sex, Sleep, Homeostasis, Excretion

  • +1 Player attempts to start fire.
  • +1 Player starts fire.
  • -1 Player puts out fire.
  • +1 Player looks for water.
  • +1 Player boils water.
  • +1 Player collects water.
  • -1 Player dumps out water of another.
  • +1 Player drinks water.
  • +1 Player eats food.
  • -1 Player wastes food.
  • -1 Player hides food from another.
  • -1 Player throws away food.
  • +1 Player fishes for food.
  • +1 Player gathers fruits.
  • +1 Player gathers wood.
  • +1 Player hunts for food.
  • +1 Player builds shelter.
  • -1 Player destroys shelter.
  • -1 Player burns down shelter.
  • +1 Player sleeps.
  • -1 Player is sleep deprived.
  • -1 Player is dehydrated.
  • +1 Player excretes.
  • -1 Player cannot excrete.
  • -1 Player loses tool.
  • -1 Player breaks tool.
  • As the show continues from week to week, I plan to post updates on the progress of the game.

A New Spin on Internet Citizenship

For awhile now, I have been tinkering with the idea of developing an operating system for empowering online citizens. This idea aligns with my most recent research and graduate work in public administration and nonprofit management. The main focus is to provide the necessary tools for citizens to engage with outside individuals and organizations with privacy and security at the forefront. My reasoning for focusing upon privacy and security first links to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs which I studied a few semesters ago. Abraham Maslow proposed that all individuals seek five stages in life: physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization.

Referencing Maslow's work, I focused on the two primary areas, privacy and security, for enabling internet citizens or netizens. However, instead of creating an operating system from scratch, I selected the Fedora Spins Project for developing a linux-based system. The initial specification for the new spin is located here. My goal for this project, Fedora Netizen, is to have an operational operating system for citizens to download and use from a USB stick or install entirely on their Mac, PC, or other internet enabled device.

BlendKit Blended Course Reflection

Reflecting upon BlendKit 2014 blended course, new perspectives were gained regarding how blended courses could benefit students, as well as instructors when delivering required continuing education and licensure courses. In forming a suitable question for basing further blended course development, the following question may aid in the development process: in what ways can a blended course development approach improve effectiveness and efficiency for delivering high quality educational experiences within the real estate industry?

Implementing this question, the first benefit that my be realized is the dual allowance for learning synchronously and asynchronously by students. The opportunity for students to learn multiple and alternative may promote higher levels of cognitive learning. In addition, permitting remote participation may be more convenient at times for students, especially for those who work full-time jobs and have family responsibilities. On the contrary, those students who may have the need to directly interact with their instructors benefit from the in-class sessions eliminating the possible feeling of totally being disconnected.

From an instructor's perspective, blended course delivery may offer an increased amount of time for managing courses and responding to students' need due to the decreased amount of time required in a classroom. Moreover, integrating a blended mode may also aid in the implementation of a flipped classroom scenario. By assigning reading and work assignments for homework, students may be more attentive within the classroom since they are given the opportunity to work on their assignments before meeting in-class. Because more in-class time is available, alternative learning experiences may take place such as role playing, games, and other in-class group activities.

In conclusion, the implementation of blended courses may provide a significant impact to my future development and delivery of instructional courses. As identified in my original question, effectiveness and efficiency are two important keys to the ongoing success for my current course covering cybercrime and upcoming courses on internet privacy and cybersecurity. With this in mind, I envision offering these three courses in blended mode along with online versions at the start so that I can make proper adjustments for effectively and efficiently delivering higher learning experiences to my future students.

Survivor Cagayan Prediction

After years of not watching Survivor, I finally returned to watching the show this past season, Survivor Cagayan. Even though I do not subscribe to cable, I can still watch the show on Amazon's Instant Video service. Nevertheless, this past season has been a treat, to say the least, for watching because of all the new players, twists, and location. Since tonight is the finale, I will attempt to predict who will be voted out and of course, the eventual winner.

Analyzing the final four, I predict the next player to go will be Kass since she is considerably weak at physical challenges. With the final three consisting of Tony, Spencer, and Woo, the next to be voted out after losing the final immunity challenge will be Tony leaving Spencer and Woo for the final tribal council. After answering the jury's questions and debating their reasons why they each should win the million dollars, my final prediction is for Spencer to be named sole Survivor.

All in all, it has been a great season to watch as a fan, a social science researcher, and a Lord of the Flies true adorer. I look forward to watching the next season with the hope of no returning players and all brand new players similar to Cagayan.

Quality Assurance in Blended Learning

Focusing on this week's readings from my blended learning course, many questions need to be not only investigated, but also answered regarding my upcoming development and delivery of blended instructional courses. First, the question of following standardized rules and procedures for creating and instructing blended learning courses exist due to its location within the early stages of a product's life cycle. Second, instructional effectiveness was also questioned and must be addressed. The need for learners to transfer newly gained knowledge to real world applications is a critical issue for developing credibility of blended learning. Finally, a conclusion is offered for perhaps providing insight on how I may resolve issues and questions pertaining to standards and instructional effectiveness for blended learning courses.

In the reading, the lack of a formalized, authoritative body to oversee standards of blended learning was declared and discussed which translates into that the blended learning discipline is in the infantile stage and still evolving. This point was an important concern for me since I have previous experience in researching authority bodies such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Internet Corporation for Names and Numbers (ICANN), and Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) regarding the standardization of internet protocols, web development, and cyber infrastructure. The commonality between all three of these organizations mentioned is that they are formed as nonprofits, but more importantly, tax exempt public charities for the purpose of serving the general public. With this in mind, the formation of a nonprofit organization may be a possible solution for moving forward and developing standardized blended learning course development, best practices, and open source tools which also do not exist, but were mentioned as a major problem within the discipline. Furthermore, the question of efficiency and collaboration may also be resolved if a consortium of organizations networked together to share information and strategies under the helpful hand of a neutral and public serving nonprofit organization for advancing blended learning.

Besides the need for standards and a governing body, instructional effectiveness was a a major point realized from the week's reading. In my attempt to provide effective blended learning courses in real estate science and other disciplines, I plan to develop Google Docs forms for students to submit their feedback. Both formative and summative, student feedback during and after course delivery will be a key component for my instructional development because of their alternative perspectives will render new information outside of my instructional role. The other key component for my continued growth in delivering effective blended courses will be the requesting and collecting of peer review feedback. Peer review feedback may also provide ideal and timely information for improving blended learning course delivery since others may have already encountered the same issues within their courses.

In sum, my approach for developing and delivering blended learning courses covering real estate science will be a consistent, researched approach for helping students build new knowledge. Nevertheless, it is important as an instructor and researcher to stay abreast of the latest scientific research findings concerning blended learning by reading peer reviewed articles found in academic journals. Moreover, I will also pay close attention to other academic instructors' views and methods by perhaps subscribing to mailing lists, joining forums, and attending workshops involving blended learning best practices. Lastly, the academic community within the University of Central Florida will continue to be a main resource for me to lean on as I continue to develop and deliver blended online courses.

A New Blog Home

For awhile now, I have been contemplating whether or not to move this blog from wordpress to blogger for a couple of reasons. The first reason why to move the blog is because the DNS records for corey.leong.name are resolved by wordpress rather than with my personal hosting company. Since I have extensive DNS experience, I always prefer to resolve my own domains for controlling resolution, redirection, and for maintenance purposes.

The second reason why is because it seems wordpress levies unnecessary fees to host a blog. Case in point, I incurred a fee for not only redirecting my primary domain, corey.leong.name, but also for eliminating ads situated within my posts for wordpress to make additional money. Then, there is a premium fee for packaging more of there services which seems to me exorbitant for me and the average wordpress user, in my opinion.

Lastly, my current research involves e-learning and developing courses for delivering online courses in the near future. Moreover, one area of course content covers Google Apps which includes GMail, Google Drive and Docs, Sites, Chrome, and Calendar. Since all of these products are Google products, it only makes sense to investigate Blogger which is also another Google product. Thus, the final reason why I am moving from wordpress to blogger is for integration purposes with Google+, Google Analytics, YouTube, and all other Google products.

The new address for my blog is blog.coreyleong.org hosted by Google’s blogger while the old address, corey.leong.name, will be a new site with a new direction in the future.

Blended Content and Assignments

After reading this past week's reading assignment, key points of blended learning activities were realized from a holistic perspective. Using my current course development of CYC2001 Introduction to Cybercrime, I will attempt to apply the key points gained from the reading for adapting to the upcoming modules. Next, I will offer ideas on technology-integration within CYC2001, as learning activity types were discussed within the reading. Finally, a conclusion is offered for resolving my thoughts and perspectives with the coupling of technology and learning activities.

In designing effective modules for online and face-to-face interactions, focusing on learning activities was emphasized using three different approaches: direct, indirect, and online. Applying a direct learning method to CYC2001, students may gain new knowledge by witnessing hack attacks in real-time via a security emergency center or antivirus third party vendor. If a real-time experience is not available, simulating events of cyber hacking and attacks within an internal network may offer links between course concepts and observational experiences. Furthermore, role playing may also add beneficial knowledge linkages for students during in class simulations.

For considering an indirect approach for learning activities, the delivery of case studies within the classroom would be an ideal method due to the connecting of current events and learning objectives within the course. Another indirect approach related to case studies would be the offering of personal or third party stories of examples of cybecrime for students to engage other students from others' experiences. Even though online gaming was listed under indirect approaches in the reading assignment, one online integration possibility is the delivery of an online game for students to experience. From last semester's course on instructional game development, I developed a prototype cybersecurity game involving a simple network topology, a user, and a virus which infects computers on the network. With this type of learning tool, an online game may enhance the learning experiences of students because of its adaptive nature and the enticement for learners to play for fun. No matter which learning activity is implemented, all students will be asked to reflect upon their learning experience after each module's interaction within discussion forums representing a communicative method. In addition, learners may develop mindmap diagrams of the their newly acquired knowledge for producing or remixing their knowledge signifying a productive learning approach to blended learning activities.

In sum, integrating technology and learning activities is a core requirement for not only my upcoming course in cybercrime, but also all future courses. Offering learners the opportunities to engage in multiple interactive ways during a course is a high priority for this instructor for enhancing overall course delivery and increasing the level of engagement. From the reading assignment, indirect, direct, and online were three approaches which were realized for developing face-to-face interaction and online interaction within blended courses. Furthermore, three types of learning activities were discovered for implementing in my immediate course delivery: adaptive, communicative, and productive.
