Assignment title: Information


Answers should be properly researched and consist of a synthesis of the student's own views, the textbook, internet and offline sources. It is expected that an answer to a question would consist of 2-4 paragraphs (100-200 words). All work should be paraphrased (in the student's own words) and properly referenced (in-text and at the end of the text) as per the Curtin Library Referencing (Chicago Author Date) examples. The format for submission should be one word processed document, spell and grammar checked, with word count, page numbers, references, and clearly sectioned. You should use the questions below as headings (so cut and paste these). Further details on submission will be provided via BlackBoard and in class closer to the due date. Please note that the final work and submission is to be individual and will be checked using Turnitin plagiarism detection software. You should come to class prepared to speak to your answers and contribute to class discussion each week. This is important for class interaction – a key benefit of having face-to-face classes. Note for this second part of semester, we will not continue with the collaborative space. Instead you will be expected to submit the "Weekly Submission" question – usually Question 3, each week via the t6,t7,t8,t9,t10,t11 links under Assessment in BlackBoard. Some assessment credit formerly associated with the collaborative space questions will be allocated in part to the weekly submission. You will have opportunity to revise your Weekly Submission for the final submission of all questions. The assessment marking guide (rubric) will be made available via My Grades in BlackBoard and will be discussed in class. It will include credit for the quality and timeliness of submissions. Note that the questions may be updated during semester so please check in BlackBoard for updated versions. Topic 6 End-user training 1. Why is training important? Illustrate with an example. 2.
