Speedy deletion of Leadership and Communication CPER 370
A tag has been placed on Leadership and Communication CPER 370 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Pontificalibus (talk) 16:49, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

If you want to have a page that talks about building Wikipedia, this should be done on a user sub page, such as User:Bmatkin/Leadership and Communication CPER 370. Alternatively if there is a systematic program to develop a topic, a wikipedia project could be formed. Let me know if you need that Leadership and Communication CPER 370 restored to a user sub page. However it will have to look like it is there for something to do with Wikipedia rather than running a course. Otherwise it could be removed by the WP:NOTWEBHOST guideline.

Introduction
Six Sigma is a business term for operations to continually strive for perfection in production. We will examine the science of six sigma and relate it to the ability to produce knowledge in a collaborative environment. This practice requires active participation from CEO's, management, line workers, and all associated stakeholders with an investment with the production efforts. It is assumed that businesses both large and small, with organizational structures ranging from multi-layered corporate vertical or horizontal alignment to single owner small businesses can benefit form the application of the principles associated with six sigma. --Bmatkin (talk) 14:28, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Collaborative Tools
Currently collaborative tools are not being utilized to their fullest potential. The internet has captured the need for users to perform search and ultimately find capabilities. The internet is seen as an environment where information waits for you however users need to take the time now to learn to shape and mold the various technological capabilities which will then push the information you desire directly to you. The feeling of cumbersome and slow with seemingly greater complexities can be replaced and simplified by the user with a dedicated effort to learn and promote the proper use of the tools.

Background
The need to search, find, discover, and disseminate are the esential elements associated with gaining knowledge. The ability to share information has taken on many shapes and forms overtime. Hand carried messages back and forth and depending on the distance of delivery it could sometime take up to a week or more. The pony express, postal service face to face meetings, phone calls, conference calls, email, instant messaging, wiki, blogs, twitter, chat rooms...it can all get confusing.

Introduction:
This article is an attempt to generate discussion and documentation on how vast technological improvements during the past 15 years in information sharing in our own society have not had an impact on the actual education system degree granting process. Obviously new courses and classes have sprouted up to promote and educate people in the learning medium identifying new capabilities which directly effects the understanding of management and performance of the workforce in general. This knowledge is important on the need to know where, how, when etc...to leverage to use and apply new technologies. BUT the graduation timeline itself has not changed. Why is it that 4 years is the apparent absolute? It is my opinion that the current higher education system as it stands is refusing to change its format as a result of these very same technological advancements. Its not new news to suggest that the 4 year standard degree program is outdated and outmoded. It has been addressed and documented that by the time a student today enters his Junior year the information gained during the students frosh year may already have been outdated. 15-20 years ago there were attempts at some schools to develop and implement 3 year degree programs. I believe the intent was to become more competitive financially as an institution of higher learning. The accelerated degree was a potential niche in academics to recruit students. The internet has tapped into a collaborative nature of various learning methods. The methods being applied on the internet today are all based on faster and quicker information gathering capabilities and the skill to formulate and assess that data. Generation X and after have a greater ability to see and digest wider range of data then previous generations. Their attention span is shorter and not as detailed.

Recent History

 * 1950's and 60's: This era is viewed as a time when students attended an institution of higher learning such as a college or University and were for the most part FULL TIME. Advanced education was characterized as select and whether you agree or not it was elite in nature. Advanced schooling was not an opportunity that was available for most HS graduates. Again this timeframe was driven by the magnitude of growth in the industrialization of America. Using Detroit and the auto industry as an example, this was a time when there was a tremendous need for assemblyline workers and the supporting force structure. The Auto industry was unionized and the work force was making excellent money. Higher education was not viewed as a necessity to compete in the job market especially during this time.


 * The 1970's: With a greater number of HS graduates being provided the opportunity to enter advanced learning schools the need for students to seek out and find advantages led to the part time student worker. Competition fostered students to get an edge by working part time in a field related to their degree program or performing volunteer activities. The better students excelled with their ability to be multi tasked and involved with community and part time occupations in their identified major. It was not a necessity for most to have to work.


 * The 1980's and 90's saw more more and more students entering the part-time workforce while going to school. However as opposed to the 70's philosophy of working part-time for a competitive edge in the job market this need was due to the increase in cost of education in addition to partial scholarships available. Part-time work was now part of the process.

 * 21st Century (2000's): This is where the current employment situation combined with archaic processes in education systems and advancements with the use of technologies of this generation has changed the academic landscape. I see this time where most students will now be of the Part time flavor with anyone able to enter the job market on a fulltime basis is the actual need. I see this as a role reversal in the education process and programs at the higher levels.
