Website Design : Assignment Three – the final site

Task 3)

Create a handover document passing your website over to a potential client.

You have critically reviewed your website comparing it to other websites that offer similar services. Take into account both positive and negative factors in the website. Be realistic about your own abilities compared to professional web design companies.

Now it’s time to reflect on the process and look at other HCI developments.

Create a report (in any form you want) that looks at recent HCI developments and how they are used. So look at mobile webs and how they differ from their large screened PC cousins. What are the significant differences and how and why have they come about?

How would you develop a website that could work on mobile and full screen or are they separate, discuss this concept and give example?

This covers Unit 10: Human Computer Interaction

The document to cover the following :

Understand recent human computer interaction related developments and their

application

HCI: historical development; motivation; techniques; guidelines; principles; standards.

Developments in technology: changing workstation environments eg screens, keyboards,

pointing devices; other non standard input/output devices eg speech recognition; related

processing developments and information storage possibilities

Developments in HCI: examples eg virtual machines with command line input, graphical

interfaces, screen design for intensive data entry; intelligent HCIs; virtual personas; changing

concepts of ‘look and feel’

User issues: range of users eg expert, regular, occasional, novice, special needs; ergonomics; human information processing; impact on the workplace

Development of systems: new developments eg event-driven systems, use of multimedia;

modelling techniques; implication of new developments on user interfaces; implication of

developments on hardware eg storage, processing requirements; convergence of systems

Applications: selection of HCIs eg touchscreen, voice activated

Task 5

Task 5(Hand in Date : 12/5/16)

Discuss how within this setup you can do upgrades and perform backups.

Unit 2:

LO4 Be able to undertake routine maintenance on computer systems

4.1 perform routine maintenance tasks on a computer system. 4.2 upgrade the software and hardware on a computer system.

Task 4

Task 4 (Hand in Date : 12/5/16)

Discuss any future improvements that could be made to the network that you have implemented (see task 3) and any changes that could be made.  You need to consider scalability, hardware, and bandwidth.

Design a maintenance schedule to support the network.

• Infrastructure performance: network monitoring tools, user access, traffic analysis, bandwidth monitoring, checking configuration, checking rules, show commands, traceroute
• Resolve issues: use troubleshooting methodology; make change to resolve issue; prove resolution

Unit 26

LO4 Be able to support small or home office networks

4.1  discuss future improvements for the small or home office network 4.2 design a maintenance schedule to support a small or home office network.

Unit 3 

LO4 Be able to develop strategies for problem solving

4.1  review tools and methods for developing solutions to problems 4.2  develop an appropriate strategy for resolving a particular problem 4.3 evaluate the potential impact on the business of implementing the strategy.

Assignment 1: Research skills.

Assignment 1: Research skills.


Task 1)

You have researched many areas as part of the HNC. Discuss how you did this and give examples using Harvard referencing system.

Now discuss / document your research looking at the following factors :

Research types and methodologies: types e.g. experimental research, survey research,
evaluative research, observational research, developmental research; applied versus fundamental research

Data collection: methods e.g. primary and secondary data collection, observatory, experimental

Research pitfalls: problems e.g. dependency and access to information sources, time, money, expertise, introduction of bias, the Hawthorne Effect, the Halo Effect

Types of data: qualitative e.g. ‘information rich and data poor’; quantitative eg statistical
analysis techniques, ratios

(For M1 an effective approach to research has been applied.
For D1 conclusions have been justified through a synthesis of ideas)

Task 2) 

Now look at the sources you used for research, discuss the format and then look at how relevant they are and how old they are, use the following at criteria for your research.

Sources of information: types e.g. visual, audio, paper-based, electronic; benefits and
drawbacks of types; categories e.g. primary and secondary sources, restrictions and
limitations

Accuracy of information: validity e.g. triangulation of resources to ensure validity; currency

Literature review framework: styles e.g. Harvard referencing; adopting a formal format

(M2 : a logical approach show when answering this question and justified
D2 : independent conclusions to information gained from research show.)
Task 3)

Task 3

Task 3 (Hand in Date : 25/4/16 )

With this diagram from task 2..

Expand it (use Visio if possible).

Create a A4 sized layout now, with equipment laid out and also for each device proposed IP addresses of devices (now remember this is a theoretical exercise), put tables and chairs and printers and also show where ‘potential IOT’ (internet of things) kit could be laid out as well, remember the initial brief.

How long would this take to setup?

How can you test it?

(In theory this is remember)

Also mention

Internet access.

Security considerations and addressing,

Firewall settings.

(3 to 4 pages MAX)

Task 2 Unit 2/3/26

Task 2 (11/4/16)

Design a SOHO solution for your office

What would you need (from an empty room, no kit or furniture)? List the equipment needed.
What's the cheapest solution you could have? (justify)
Give another solution that would look more professional, has better kit and is still under 15k (aim
for 10k).

(Hint : Create a spreadsheet 1 page to 2 page)

Give both a home and mobile solution (both within 10 to 15k for 2nd option).
You need to produce a design plan (using a network diagram in Visio or Word or simple sketch).

(1/2 Page to one page)

(Unit 26 LO2:2.1 Unit 2: LO2:2.1)

Show this to the customer and gather feedback from them about this plan. Produce a report from the feedback given and analyse the changes to the design you need. Evaluate the updated system looking at feedback from your client. Where necessary carry out further research about the changes to the design.

(document feedback and make recomendations : 1/2 to 1 page)

(Unit 26 LO2:2.2 Unit 2:LO2 2.2)

Include the following (Not all needed!)

• Devices: number of connected devices; anticipated participation 
• Bandwidth: average load; peak load; local Internet availability; cost constraint
• Users: quality expectations; concept of system growth
• Applications: requirements eg security, quality of service
• Communications: considerations eg suited to devices, suited to users, lifestyle preferences
• Scalable: considerations eg supporting device growth, supporting additional devices, bandwidth use 
• Security: considerations eg addressing policy, device participation, firewall rules,
