The director of Information Technology (IT) has indicated that the Board of Directors is compiling a corporate portfolio on ethics and has asked all departments to contribute information on how to write policy statements that reflect a code of ethics. The director of IT has asked for you to provide an example of a policy statement that reflects work you do in IT administration.

Research the cultural and global political considerations for the use of a sharing service as presented in the lab and the data which could be hosted and made available via the Internet. Reflect on the idea that some issues, such as keeping data unalterable, could transcend cultures, while other IT choices could depend on your cultural perspective.

Consider the following:

  • How cultural perspective could impact the security decisions of an administrator setting up SharePoint® Server 2013 citing choices that were made in the labs
  • Global political issues, such as corruption, human rights, and rights to privacy in the U.S. and Key Nations, based on your readings and discussions this week

Write a 1- to 2-page example of a policy statement using Microsoft Word. Complete the following in your document:

  • A brief description of the types of data that are hosted and made available via the Internet using SharePoint® Server 2013. Include at least 2 types.
  • At least 2 cultural or global political considerations for sharing services (e.g., privacy rights)
  • Your opinion regarding any IT choices that seem to transcend culture
  • At least 1 example of choices you have when administering SharePoint® Server 2013 that could depend on your ethical stance
  • A brief policy statement for configuring SharePoint® Server 2013 that aligns with your ethical stance on data integrity (e.g., “The organization will seek to protect confidential and proprietary information when configuring SharePoint® Server 2013.”)

Cite any references to support your assignment.

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.

PC Security Presentation

/in /by

In this exercise, you will convert the essay you wrote in Project 3 to a PowerPoint presentation. Read this all through to the end once before you try it.

2. Find the image files you downloaded as you will use them here.

3. Outline and develop your presentation on paper or using a word processor first. You must have:
  * A title slide, with a good title (not “PC Security Presentation”) that applies to the specific aspect of security you are discussing, and your name below the title.
  * A slide which introduces your topic. State what it is, why it’s important.
  * 2 or 3 slides which detail your topic.
  * A conclusion slide, which sums up your details/findings.
  * A Works Cited slide which has the URLs of the Internet references where you found your information.

4. As you work this out, follow these guidelines:
  * Title slide must use the Title slide format.
  * Intro, detail and conclusions slides
     * can use the Title and content format, or possibly Two content,
     * must be bulleted,
     * must have a relevant title at the top of the slide,
     * must have “several” bullets of several words each. No blocks of text,
     * should follow the good presentation principles you read about earlier,
     * are where the 2 images go, anywhere you want in there but only 1 image per slide, appropriately sized and located, and
     * each image must be referenced or discussed in one or more bullets.
  * Works Cited slide should use the Title and body format, title is “Works Cited”.

5. When you create your slides, be sure to:
  * add a Theme to all slides.,
  * have slide numbers on all slides except the title slide,
  * use bullet symbols for all bullet points. Any style you want, but the same style on all slides,
  * add a transition,
  * spell check, and
  * remember we are keeping it simple: no gifs, no videos, no audio, no animations, no links.

6. When you’re ready, create your presentation. Begin by choosing a Theme, then set the title slide up since that shows first, then work along – add a slide, add content to a slide, etc. until the basics are all done.

7. Now finish up by adding other required format items, like the slide numbers, transitions and spell check.

8. Save your file. Call it PC Security Presentation

9. Your project will be graded according to the following rubric:

AS Brochure: Design Elements of a Technical Document & Letter of Transmittal

/in /by

The design of a technical document is a very important part of the development process. If a document is poorly designed, it can be distracting to the reader and even cause the content to lose credibility.

Create a flyer (or brochure) using the techniques learned in this week’s reading assignment. Go to page 290 of Technical Communication to locate “Case 11: Designing a Flyer.”

  • Study the “background” purpose and intended audience (pages 89-91).
  • Review Document 11.1 downloadMinimize File Preview. Important: consider what the best organization might be for this information. Note: This document is only available in the online course. It CANNOT be accessed via the MacMillan website mentioned in the textbook.
  • Create a one-page flyer in which you implement the design that you have determined will be most effective for the audience and purpose described on pages 250-253. Assume the target audience has little to no experience with your topic, but the audience would find useful an information summary on graduate school admissions tests. Required: make sure to integrate graphics (minimum of two and a maximum of four) to support the textual information that your flyer conveys. Keep in mind that the layout and balance of visual and textual information are critically important to fulfill the expectations of a multi-cultural audience, thereby conveying your message with clarity. Save your flyer as a PDF document.
  • Submit your flyer as a PDF attachment to your peers through the discussion. Based on your study of selective readings from Chapters 11,12, and 21, include a 250-word analysis of your chosen page layout, columns, typography, titles and headings, and the integration of visual elements to support your text.

Finally, your Letter of Transmittal should introduce the “primary reader to the purpose and content of the report” and “establishes a courteous and professional tone” (page 481). For a sample, see pages 490-491. Be sure to follow the guidelines in Chapter 18 and in the multi-media links provided under Required Resources in Week Five. Your Letter of Transmittal should be one page or approximately 250 words long.

WK4 Assignment 2

/in /by

Although every individual experiences family life-cycle transitions in unique ways, common challenges and experiences often arise at these transition periods. For example, many couples experience changes in their sexual relationship after they become parents. Likewise, adults’ understanding of what it means to have “positive” sexual functioning may differ at different stages in the family life cycle. It is important for helping professionals to pay attention to the unique needs of the individual clients they serve, while also keeping in mind these common challenges and experiences that may arise.

The family life-cycle stages you will consider for this assignment are:

  • Single adulthood
  • Committed, long-term relationships
  • Becoming parents
  • Divorce/relationship termination and remarriage/re-partnering
  • Older adulthood

(2 pages)

Use the five family life-cycle stages listed in the Sexuality in Adulthood Across the Family Life Cycle chart to organize your thoughts for this:

  • Describe two common sexuality-related transitions or concerns at each stage.
  • Provide two examples of how research and theory characterize positive sexual functioning during each stage.
  • Briefly describe how you might intervene or use this information to assist clients.

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the resources for this course.

You and Shawn met yesterday with the members of a cross-cultural leadership team from AGC’s subsidiaries to discuss a change in AGC’s human capital management goals.

  • Describe why making a diagnosis is a critical part of a change management plan.
  • Identify at least 3 current human capital management problems at AGC.
