How do you determine which training vehicles to use with which audiences? When would you use a video or a series of videos to describe a product? When would you use a website? When would you create a detailed manual with graphics? For this discussion, based on your readings and research so far, and as a guide for your technical writing team, describe the framework you would construct to help decide which training vehicle would be appropriate in which situation for which audience. 

 The Board of Directors and CEO of your organization is interested in the business value gained from adopting Cloud computing. You have just received your advance degree in Information Technology and the CEO asked could you to give a presentation to the Board about what cloud computing is. At a minimum, using the key terms from chapter 1 of the textbook to create a voice over presentation using screen cast-o-matic . Submit the link to the voice-over 

Weekly Chapter Discussions:  Chapter 18 – Sustainable Urban Development,  Governance, and Policy: A Comparative  Overview of EU Policies and Project
In the weekly Discussion tab in the course, the Professor and students interact to explore course concepts. For full credit, you are required to post on three different days (three-time each week) and follow the guidelines for the frequency and quality provided below. For your initial post, address the four sections below, and write NO more than 500 words. Your contributions should be in your own words; quote very sparingly. Be concise. All other contributions would be a reflection of the contributions of your classmates.  After your initial post, reply to the contributions by your classmates and follow the guidelines for the frequency and quality of your contributions. 

• CHAPTER SUMMARY: Summarize chapter presented during the week. Identify the main point (as in “What’s your point?”), thesis, or conclusion of the key ideas presented in the chapter.
• SUPPORT: Do research outside of the book and demonstrate that you have in a very obvious way. This refers to research beyond the material presented in the textbook. Show something you have discovered from your own research. Be sure this is obvious and adds value beyond what is contained in the chapter itself. 
• EVALUATION: Apply the concepts from the appropriate chapter. Hint: Be sure to use specific terms and models directly from the textbook in analyzing the material presented and include the page in the citation.
• SOURCES: Include citations with your sources. Use APA style citations and references. 

 Prepare a one page APA style paper about blockchain applications. In the paper be sure to (1) define the parameters of blockchain applications, (2) address why they are needed, (3) discuss the different types and (4) discuss how the current markets could benefit from the use of such applications. Use at least 2 sources in this paper (and please be sure to cite them in the paper). Follow the writing guidelines for this course. 

For this project, select an organization that has leveraged Cloud Computing technologies in an attempt to improve profitability or to give them a competitive advantage.  Research the organization to understand the challenges that they faced and how they intended to use Cloud Computing to overcome their challenges.  The paper should include the following sections each called out with a header.

• Company Overview:  The section should include the company name, the industry they are in and a general overview of the organization.
• Challenges: Discuss the challenges the organization had that limited their profitability and/or competitiveness and how they planned to leverage Cloud Computing to overcome their challenges.
• Solution:  Describe the organization’s Cloud Computing implementation and the benefits they realized from the implementation.  What was the result of implementing Cloud Computing?  Did they meet their objectives for fall short?
• Conclusion:  Summarize the most important ideas from the paper and also make recommendations or how they might have achieved even greater success.

Requirements:

The paper must adhere to APA guidelines including Title and Reference pages.  There should be at least three scholarly sources listed on the reference page.  Each source should be cited in the body of the paper to give credit where due.  Per APA, the paper should use a 12-point Time New Roman font, should be double spaced throughout, and the first sentence of each paragraph should be indented .5 inches.  The body of the paper should be 3 – 5 pages in length.  The Title and Reference pages do not count towards the page count requirements.

 Create JUNIT test that uncovers at least 5 errors in the given software and write summary and reflection paper 2-3 pages. Will need to cite specific errors from JUNIT test. Details are attached 

Read the attached PDF article entitled, “How Blockchain Technology Can Benefit Marketing: Six Pending Areas Research Areas”.

The six pending research areas mentioned in the article are:

1) Fosters disintermediation

2) Aids in combatting click fraud,

3) Reinforces trust and transparency,

4) Enables enhanced privacy protection,

4) empowers security, and

6) Enables creative loyalty programs.

After reading the article in full, select on of the mentioned six areas of research and write an article reflection minimum 8-9 maximum page paper identifying the following;

1) Describe and provide the overall research area mentioned in the article in a synopsis

2) What did the article state in how Blockchain can benefit that marketing area overall?

3) What further research did the article recommend?

4) What do you think can be the approach to further research the topic? What approach would you recommend to take and what type of research method would make sense?

5) What is an example of a company that you believe would benefit from this type of research and why?

6) Outside of Blockchain, what other piece of marketing technology can help this area?

7) What do you recommend is the best way to approach for a company to implement this area of research into their company?

Paper must be 12Pt. Font, Times New Roman, Double Spaced, with title page and reference page. Minimum of 3 references, to include the article required. The title page and references page do NOT count towards the minimum.

Need to be completed by tomorrow. 

Project Based Midterm

You have been asked by management (manufacturing, healthcare, retail, financial, etc. ) to create a demo using a data analytic or BI tool. It is your responsibility to download and produce outputs using one of the tools. You will need to focus your results on the data set you select.  

Ensure to address at least one topic covered in Chapters 1-5 with the outputs. The paper should include the following as Header sections:

Introduction
History of Tool [Discuss the benefits and limitations] Review of the Data [What are you reviewing?] Exploring the Data with the tool
Classifications Basic Concepts and Decision Trees
Classifications Alternative Techniques
Summary of Results

Using Relational Algebra

You  learned in Module 9 about Relational algebra; the theoretical language  for operating on one or more relations. It forms the theoretical basis  for relational databases and for the subset of DML (or DQL) designed to  retrieve data from a database. You should be able to describe and create:

• a selection operation.
• a projection operation.
• a Cartesian product operation.
• a union operation.
• a difference operation.
• intersection operation.
• a theta-join.
• a natural join.
• an equi-join.
• an outer join.

Using the ProAudio database you have been working on during the term give examples of:  

• 3 distinct unary operations using relational algebra syntax and the corresponding DML syntax.
• 3 distinct binary operations using relational algebra syntax and the corresponding DML syntax.
• Refer to Relational Algebra file for examples but do not use the same.

Submission Format:

• Please submit a PDF answering the questions above in bullet format.
