Exploring and Applying Research Methodologies and Methods suitable for research conducted within the Computer Science discipline
The choice of a research methodology and related research methods reflect not only the context of the research but also include decisions related to the way the research is initially framed through the hypothesis statements or research questions.
This discussion invites you to research and reflect on the different research methodologies and related research methods, in light of a research idea or topic that holds your interest. You may choose any research idea or topic, including one you may have discovered as part of the Week 1 Brainstorming Activity.
To prepare for this discussion
Review the learning resources and media for this week
Conduct an initial review of research articles related to the research idea or topic you’ve chosen, reviewing the types of research approaches used by the researchers, their choice of methodology and methods and why these approaches were chosen. Select two to be utilised for your initial posting in Week 1
Reflect on your own personal experiences with Computer Science projects that might have required you to investigate the feasibility of a particular technology or application of a technology within a context, from a ‘problem solving’ perspective.
To complete this discussion
In Week 1: Create an initial post (300-500 words) in which you present and discuss research methodologies and related methods. Making use of your initial review of potential research articles related to the research idea or topic you’ve chosen, provide a short summary of each of the two articles, describing the research methodology and research method(s) employed in the research. Critically evaluate the choices of researchers in terms of the appropriateness in supporting the aims and objectives of the research. Include an explanation on how the methodology and method(s) employed in the research might be appropriate for your own research topic. In addition to the two articles provided in your own posting, you are expected to cite several other academic and/or practitioner references to support your post.
In Week 2: Respond to your colleagues, by commenting on, or critiquing, the analysis of research methodologies and methods that they have presented, locating similarities and differences when compared to your analysis. You may also want to provide additional supporting information pertaining to the analysis and appropriateness of the described research methodologies and methods, using academic references for support. (300-500 words)
In Week 3: Post a final executive summary (500 words max) of the peer and instructor deliberations that have related to your own post, reflecting on lessons that have been learnt and changes or realignments that you have made following the class discussions. In the unlikely event your initial post has received no additional comments from your peers, include different points of view retrieved from the literature.
Only the final summary post is subject to the late submission penalty (third week discussion forum deadline). Other posts submitted after their respective deadlines would not be subject to the late penalty but submitting late would have a negative impact on the final grade because of the “discussion forum engagement and responsiveness” criterium in the marking rubric. The information about the late submission policy can be found here:
What do I do if I can’t meet a deadline or need to submit my work late? – (liverpool-online-study.com)
The recommended word count for the full discussion forum is 1500 words. The initial post should be between 300-500 words. The response posts should be between 300-500 words. Only the final summary post will be subject to the maximum word count policy. This final post must not exceed 500 words. References and images are not included in the word count. As per the assessment length policy, penalties will be applied to assessments which exceed this length.

“Group Charter and Weekly Leadership Schedule”
URGENT NOTE: YOU WILL DO THIS AS INDIVIDUAL, NOT AS GROUP.
To work in groups this semester, we need to establish some group rules of conduct in a “group charter” document, as well as set the schedule regarding who will lead the submission of group work assignments due each week.
PREP: Revisit Group Introductions
Double-check you’ve read the intro posts from each of your groupmates. Because some people post earlier and some added the class later, take a minute to confirm who is in your group and what they posted about themselves. This is your chance to ask the things that become awkward the longer you wait, like: “how should I pronounce your name? wow, what is it like working in the [RPAC, Cancer Center, library] at OSU or outside of OSU and how are you holding up? wait, are you the Smith/Chaudhari/etc. my cousin dated in high school?”
1. Share your group document
Click on the “Group charter and weekly leadership assignment” link below to download a Word document for you to complete. Use the discussion board to decide who will lead this setup work; leading for this week includes sharing the document with all group members on a collaborative platform like Google Docs. As each of you accesses the document shared by this week’s leader, add your name to the header as a participant to indicate you have checked in.
HRS2530_ASSIGN1_Group Charter.docxDownload HRS2530_ASSIGN1_Group Charter.docx
2. Create a group charter
In order for each of us to learn and share in a supportive group environment, it’s important to have a set of shared rules that govern how we interact. (Especially online.) As a group, use the discussion board, or a group communication platform of the group’s choice, to decide on answers to the highlighted portions of the charter and sign off on the end results. NOTE: Check out the grading rubric below to plan how you can get full marks for this assignment! No header, signatures, claiming of sections, spell check, etc,…no points!
3. Create a group leader schedule
Please fill in this group leader schedule. Volunteer yourselves (and not others) for at least one week.
Once these steps are done, and before the due date, the weekly leader must upload the completed and signed document here. -

Craft the external message that you will use to address the problem you identified in the final project case study provided. In doing so, you will specify the mediums you will use to deliver the message, explain why these mediums are important, and outline the target audience. Additionally, you will explain how the message promotes the organization’s strategic goals. Finally, identify potential sources of conflict that may arise as a result of your external communication. Consider the message you are communicating as well as the mediums used.
-
Title: “Breaking the Cycle: Sociological Insights on Intergenerational Poverty and How We Can Break Free”
Choose a sociological-related topic in a way that is common-sense or counterintuitive. You might describe a scientific breakthrough or your own exceptional experience. Motivate people to action or greater self-awareness. Choose an idea that you want to share and describe it in a catchy way.
Using at least 3 valid and reliable sources, write a paper and present your paper to class. The paper should be three pages in length.
Students should also cite these sources during their presentations. This paper should be completed in APA format including citation of sources.
You will upload both your paper and your powerpoint presentation. The powerpoint should be at least 10 slides and you should use graphics to make it an engaging presentation. -
Developing an Updated Compensation Philosophy for a Merged Organization
Assignment Details
Your organization recently merged with another organization. The HR manager of compensation and benefits, the new leadership team resulting from the merger, has come to you with concerns pertaining to the current compensation policies. The senior leadership team has specifically expressed concern over the ability of the organization to hire and retain a competitive workforce due to outdated policies. Your task is to research and develop an updated compensation philosophy that aligns with the new core values of the organization, which focus on customer service, quality production, employee recruitment, and retention. You have been given 3 months to complete your analysis and present your recommendations to the leadership team.
Your presentation should include the following considerations:
What is the role and benefit to an organization of a compensation plan?
Provide a minimum of 3 factors to consider in identifying the needs of a compensation package.
What type of pay system do you recommend and why? Review the pay theories in Chapter 6 of your course textbook, and identify the 1 that bests support your pay system recommendation.
In addition to your pay recommendation, provide 2 additional policy recommendations. Include in your recommendation the legal implications that you have considered in making your recommendations.
Prepare a presentation that will be shared with the senior leadership team. The presentation should focus on practices that the organization can implement (a minimum of 15 slides with notes).
Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the following:
Title slide: Remember the running head. The title should be in all capitals.
Length: 15 slides minimum
Body slides: This begins on the slide following the title slide and must be double-spaced (be careful not to triple- or quadruple-space between paragraphs). The typeface should be 12-pt. Times Roman or 12-pt. Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics, except as required for APA-level headings and references. The deliverable length of the body of your presentation for this assignment is 15 slides. In-body academic citations to support your decisions and analysis are required. A variety of academic sources is encouraged.
Reference slide: References that align with your in-body academic sources are listed on the final slide of your presentation. The references must be in APA format using appropriate spacing, hanging indent, italics, and uppercase and lowercase usage as appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the Reference slide is not a bibliography but a further listing of the abbreviated in-body citations used in the paper. Every referenced item must have a corresponding in-body citation. -

Also Global KPMG:https://kpmg.com/xx/en/home/insights/2024/04/legal-predictions-on-data-privacy-cyber-security.html. 5 predictions: How AI, data privacy and cyber security could transform legal practices
This article highlights predictions from Global KPMG Legal Services leadership from around the world on how data, privacy and cyber security issues will affect the future of legal functions and legal practice. As predictions, they are not intended to guarantee any future outcomes.
Today’s legal teams are challenged by rapid technological innovations. Generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) and other new technologies are being adopted across legal functions and broader businesses at breakneck speed. While productivity is being pushed to new heights, organizations are being exposed to a new range of risks, including data privacy breaches, loss of attorney-client privilege, heightened regulatory scrutiny, ransomware and related reputational damage.
At the same time, new abilities to access, manipulate and analyze huge pools of data are compelling legal professionals, regulators and policy innovators to balance technology’s potential to drive positive social change against the dangers of exposing large swathes of sensitive personal information.
How will these trends reshape the legal functions of the future? Here are KPMG professionals’ top five predictions:
As gen AI becomes ever more embedded into legal function processes, legal teams will need to understand how and when to keep humans in the loop to maintain the skills needed to guard against the related risks.
The application of gen AI and other new technologies to legal work will significantly increase efficiency and productivity. These gains will grow as legal professionals get more comfortable with these powerful solutions and continue to develop more constructive ways to employ them.
Dependence on gen AI will grow apace, however, and legal teams will need to stay vigilant about the attendant risks. For example, using gen AI to inform legal advice could lead to data breaches that could affect privilege. And eventually, as gen AI subsumes ever more routine legal activities previously done by junior lawyers and paralegals, there will be fewer people in the organization with the skills to do that type of work.
Legal professionals will need to avoid the tendency to simply accept that a computer’s output is correct without questioning the reasoning behind it. They will need to develop the skills to work backwards from the output to explain how a legal conclusion was derived and independently verify whether it is accurate. Attorneys will also need to be purposeful in determining which processes are a good fit for AI and where they still need to maintain the skills to verify the legitimacy and accuracy of AI output.
A raft of new legislation will emerge to address a wide array of AI-related issues.
As new AI legislation is enacted, legal teams will move beyond building AI for their own use cases to advising their businesses on the AI implementation. Legal departments will need to understand all of these different rules so they can establish legal frameworks that enable the organization to innovate and use AI. This use must follow ever-evolving new laws and regulations and must proceed in a safe and trusted way.
Within these frameworks, legal teams need to set business-optimized guardrails so they can make the most of business opportunities while preventing their organizations from incurring risk.
Smart use of technology will be a key to managing these new compliance obligations. gen AI and large language model AI can ingest, decipher, summarize and automate data and regulatory and compliance rules to a much wider degree than any current technology. Legal professionals who learn how to use technology for both improving productivity and policing its use will have a distinct competitive advantage.
Privacy laws and approaches to open data innovation will continue to diverge. The more AI is relied on, the more the risks increase, leading to more rigorous requirements aimed at protecting personal data on one hand while enabling its use for productivity gains and positive social change on the other.
Revolutionary AI systems have enormous potential to help solve various societal problems, such as disease and vendor diversity-based discrimination. However, these systems require copious amounts of personal data to create reliable statistical conclusions, raising issues about whether the right permissions and safeguards are in place for processing that data.
Regulatory restrictions on data usage, such as data localization and data sovereignty rules, will continue to increase. However, there will be some push and pull as some jurisdictions, such as the UK, attempt to simplify those rules in order to encourage innovation, sharing of data and open data. For example, the EU Data Act aims to allow public authorities to make public data available for purposes of the wider community via a public data trust.
Legal teams are likely to increase their use of AI-enabled privacy technology to demonstrate compliance as new data protection legislation comes onstream. This technology can also make legal data analysis more efficient and ultimately help make legal decisions more consistent.
With gen AI’s ability to create and transform, data sources will become more opaque and harder to trace, leading to more data privacy and intellectual property disputes.
As machine learning, large language models and gen AI continue to advance and collect huge volumes of data, it will become increasingly difficult to trace and verify the sources used to train these technologies. Currently, we have seen disputes over AI’s use of copyrighted texts and artworks in generating new works. The inability to prove who “owns” a source of original data could frustrate attempts to gain intellectual property protection for AI-generated results.
Challenges in tracing data could also cause companies to run afoul of data privacy legislation by hampering their ability to comply with legislated data subject rights, such as access or erasure requests.
In-house privacy teams will need to expand their focus to streamline processes and controls and adapt to AI-related risks and regulations. Legal departments will also need to have the ability to quickly develop internal policies, procedures and controls to keep up with the pace of new usage.
Legal departments will be on the front lines of defending against cyber attacks and upholding organizational resilience.
Cyber security threats are likely to multiply in the future as cyber criminals become adept at using gen AI for writing ransomware, bypassing protections, spreading misinformation and other offences. Legal teams will be called on to respond to these risks on a number of fronts by:
advising companies on consistent policies for responding to and dealing with ransomware attacks
working with in-house technology or operational teams to implement or adopt appropriate cybersecurity technology to protect the organization’s data (in compliance with stricter data protection/cyber security laws).
educating people across the company on cyber risks, including the guardrails needed to mitigate those risks and what red flags to watch out for
ensuring that the people responsible for complying with data security and privacy legislation:
have the skills to understand the sources of cyber risks and related safeguards
maintain their human connections within the organization so they can ensure AI uses remain safe and secure.
Governments can also be expected to get involved to ensure businesses in their jurisdiction have appropriate cyber security policies and governance in place. In the near future, we are likely to see legislation enacted to mandate organizational resilience on adopting stronger cyber security technology and efficient response to cyber security breach. Legal professionals will need to help their organizations develop approaches to complying with these rules.
