This module focused on how behavior can be leveraged in a way that
indicates which documents a user might wish to see. The module is
designed to be completed in 12 hours over 7 days. As with every
module, you must complete all componentents of this module by midnight
on the evening of the indicated end date for the module.
Module Checklist
The recommended order for completing the activities in this module is:
Check ELMS to see if you have an additional reading summary assigned to you
this week. If so, complete that summary by midnight Thursday and
submit it using ELMS.
Additional readings are assigned
to five students. All students should read the five summaries once
they are posted to ELMS, and all students other than those who wrote a
summary this week should make a comment on the discussion board about
at least one of the summaries (or about someone else's comment on one
of them).

AOL Search Data Snafu Spawns "I Love Alaska" short films"
explains the background.
