You are required to write a 4,000 word (with 10% over/under) research paper based on your practical project for this module. The paper should contain rigorous evidence and references from the primary (your own effort of social data harvesting) and/ or secondary data collection (third-party available dataset or current literatures) you undertook. Research Rationale and MotivationAs part of practical research in this module and learnt from the weekly studios, you will be harvesting a suitable dataset using the relevant tools, i.e. Tableau, Python, Facebook or Twitter API or third party Tool(s) and extracting relevant information from the results. Therefore, you should start your paper with the motivation or rationale of your research, especially the business aim of your project. The design and approach of your project such as the reasons for the choice of social web harvesting, scope for strategic or tactical decision making, business values, public interest, marketing campaign, product reviews, branding and marketing, customers’ preferences or other etc. Research Tools and MethodsYou need to discuss your research into suitable tools and/ or APIs and the justification for your choice. Based on this, you should then document the design of your project and show clearly how your research project communicates with any third-party service or API. Results and VisualisationsYou should discuss the results with necessary business or social implications and relate that back to the motivation or rationale of your social media project. Visualisation is very important, so the report should also contain suitable visualisations for your business storytelling out of the social data you collected. Limitations and ImplicationsIn addition, project limitations and recommendations are desirable. Conclusion and AppendicesFinally, draw a conclusion with key results to nicely conclude your web harvesting research. You are encouraged to compare various technical tools and techniques to demonstrate the social media analytics skills you have learnt. You can implement your social web harvesting research project using any suitable language / technology / third-party tools you see fit. You can hard-code queries or you can provide a suitable front-end where users can enter search keywords. In addition, you can show the results in any suitable form, e.g. tables, various forms of innovative graphs or information overlaid on a map. The final visualisation needs to be published on Tableau Public and include the link and evidences in the paper as Appendixes.Additional InformationReferencing Requirements (Harvard)The Harvard (or author-date) format should be strictly used for all references (including images).

Local Breach of Sensitive Online DataThe EducationS Review, a fictional company, is hit with a data breach that is making headlines. The Olianas-based educational service and test preparation provider inadvertently exposed files of at least 100,000 students in various parts of the country through its Web site. News of the breach was made public on Tuesday morning by a report in the local newspaper.The files were exposed after the company switched the Internet service providers earlier this year. The sensitive information, which included personal data such as names, birth dates, ethnicities, and learning disabilities, as well as test performance, were easily accessed through a simple Web search and were available for at least seven weeks, according to the report. None of the information was password protected and was intended only to be viewed by EducationS authors.EducationS officials told the local newspaper that access to the information was immediately shut down as soon as the company was informed about the problem. “This brings up two big questions,” said Alex Graham, a senior technology consultant with information technology (IT) security and control firm Lizos. “Are companies doing enough to protect their data? Also, do companies really need to keep all this kind of data?” A competing test preparation firm discovered the flaw. The competitor contacted the local newspaper with the story, according to Alex, who said the play-out points to the high stakes were now involved with a data breach. If companies have not heard this before, it is a huge reminder that security is important not just for the company’s customers, but for the company’s reputation as well.While the publishing of birth dates may not seem like a massive leak, Alex said the information is a good stepping-stone for someone who is attempting to steal an identity. This is the second time in a month a public breach has involved birth dates. A glitch in a test version of social networking site, Facebook, inadvertently exposed the birthdays of its 80 million members last month. Alex discovered the bug while checking Facebook’s new design. He noticed that the birth dates of some of his privacy-obsessed acquaintances were popping up when they should have been hidden. The fact that the people affected by this latest breach were children adds to the general background radiation about security, or lack thereof, of peoples’ data on the Web
