Module 3 Understanding the Context (Ecosystem) of Information Management
Posted on: Sunday, September 6, 2020 11:08:00 PM EDT

Good Sunday evening. I trust you have had a great week and you are treasuring your Labor Day weekend.

Before summarizing the asks for Module 3, let me provide a couple updates that tie into what we have been studying.

Please check out this article and look for others on the cyberattacks between Israel and Iran. Those have been going on for a while but appears to be heating up. Please take note of the Iranian attack on an Israeli water facility.

SCADA systems, similar to what Iran attacked in Israel, remotely control water, natural gas, electricity……they are targets for cyberattacks. Please check out the article below and consider the ramifications if one of those systems was compromised.

Please watch the Magana video with a class this summer. Informative. I will provide that link later this week..
Last semester the class did an interview with John Gauger, CIO of Liberty University. Great discussion. I will provide that video.
Module 3 increases our understanding of the current state of IM and IT; shifts our focus to some of the leading-edge applications of IM/IT in public sector services; and triggers thinking about how we can engage IM/IT stakeholders to enhance public policy and services.

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:

Discus existing challenges in IM/IT.
Explain how IM/IT can make a difference, e.g. Smart Cities, Smart Transportation, Smart Parking, TeleHealth, Work From Home, etc. use cases.
Identify who the primary stakeholders in IM/IT are–and why they should become our best colleagues if we want to make a difference in public policy and services.
Evaluate how a partnership with the IM/IT leaders and stakeholders is critical to your ‘success’ or effectiveness in public policy and public services.

What is the difference between the meaning of the words “palate” and “palette”?

/in /by

Your job in this assignment is to demonstrate your knowledge of MLA formatting rules and documented essay preparation. The learning of these skills was required for successful completion of English 101, the course academically one level below your current (ENG 102) course. Thus, you should be familiar with the essentials of up-to-date MLA rules for formatting documented essays. Note that in this course we are using the current MLA method–called “MLA 8.” You must use MLA 8 rules to complete all documented assignments in this course.
For this assignment, you are given a very simple subject: To prepare a 100-word response to a short research question which you’ll find below. The “research” involved is simply the definition of two words. This part of the exam is especially easy because what you are really being tested on here is your knowledge of MLA formatting. 80% of your grade for this assignment will depend upon your execution of MLA formatting rules (including accuracy of information). 20% of your grade for this assignment will depend upon your effective use of written English (grammar, spelling, etc.).
ASSIGNMENT QUESTION:
In a documented response of 100 words or fewer, answer this question:
What is the difference between the meaning of the words “palate” and “palette”? Do they possess the same meaning? If so, why are they spelled differently? If not, what does each of the two words mean?
Prepare a brief research paper response following all current “MLA 8” (MLA 8th edition) rules for the writing of research papers. Remember that the text of your paper should contain only 100 or fewer words! Document your research with appropriate MLA in-text citations and a properly prepared Works Cited. Use proper MLA-style headings, fonts, spacing, margins, and formatting. Be sure to provide correctly prepared documentation using either an online or paper dictionary. Your finished work must be in properly formatted MLA 8 format. Sufficient skills in the rules of MLA formatting are required learning for ENG 101, your previous course. Again: if you are rusty with these rules, consult the Purdue OWL MLA online guide and be sure to read and review the “MLA 8 Update for ENG. 102, Unit 1” document attachment available on this page.
