True or False: The oldest and still most frequently used network communications services are print services. 2. Install Visio on your workstation. Visio can be obtained from MSDNAA. Once Visio is installed, create a simple network diagram. Start the Visio application, select Network, and then Basic Network Diagram. Start by clicking the Computers and Monitors tab, then drag a few PCs to the diagram, one the upper right, the other the lower right. Next click the Network and Peripherals tab, drag a switch to the middle of the diagram, drag a server to the upper left and a printer to the bottom left. Next, we need to connect the devices. Click the Comm-link icon to connect the devices to the switch. (Link to Sample) SEE BELOW: 3. Describe in your own words the similarities and differences between a peer-to-peer network and a client-server network. Peer-to-peer network is similar to a client server in the aspect that they both share internet connection for access to outer resources. And play a role of both client and server but in different connections such as peer-to-peer can share files between clients but does not have a centralized file sharing server where data is stored. The data is located on individual client hard drives that each other can access. As the client server...

When we talk about Education Industry, it means Schools, Colleges, Universities and other source of education provider.

The Input Information system at Stratford takes input in various forms. There are departments in school that have access of the specific part of the system and it lets the department to enter the information.

That means you cannot register for courses unless you have been registered for the current or upcoming quarter, and so and so forth. The Process Once the first set of information added into the system, the system generates a unique student ID for the record...

...enhanced prosperity. An Italian missionary Matteo Ricci reported in the early seventeenth century on their conservatism saying, “Everything which the people need for their well-being and sustenance is abundantly produced within the borders of the kingdom.” (Rhodes Murphey, East Asia, A New Histoy, pg. 129) There was less incentive to seek change or be innovative at least in terms of official policy. Policy and administration was left to the conservative Confucian bureaucracy. Agriculture was regarded as the predominant source of wealth and as something to be officially promoted. The Ming government and most of its Confucian magistrates cared about the welfare of their people, at least until the final collapse and they even reformed the tax system to make it less burdensome for peasants. The Ming provincial...

...Managing Videos Effectively To Avoid Media Meltdown Wednesday, December 4, 2013 As they prioritize their To-Dos for 2014, CIOs at educational institutions around the country and further afield put the planning and deployment of a central media strategy and rich media repository at the top of the list. While video is permeating almost every aspect of campus life – from teaching and learning to marketing, development, communications and admissions - the approach has generally been haphazard, resulting in silos of content that lack a coherent framework for Security, Access Control, Rights Management, Discoverability, Accessibility and Search. For many, a potential rich-media management crisis is looming on campus, and this impending crisis is only exacerbated by today’s ed-tech trends, which all rely heavily on video to thrive – flipped classrooms, personalised learning, blended learning, social learning, and of course MOOCs. Add the complexity of allowing (and supporting) students and faculty to Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD), and you have a recipe for an IT nightmare. According to Kenneth C. Green of The Campus Computing Project: “Fewer than 30 percent of CIOs and senior campus IT officers representing some 540-plus U.S. colleges and universities surveyed by Campus Computing in fall 2012 report that their institution had a strategic plan for content management. For most campuses, a video management strategy is an ‘after the fact’ initiative as opposed to an ‘ahead of the...

You will design the culture’s history, environment, subsistence approach, political system, and other aspects of social life. The aim of the project is to enable you to think creatively while demonstrating your knowledge of anthropological concepts. Your culture may live on the moon or in a protected bubble in the deep sea. However, it must “make sense.” For example, if your culture practices foraging, the people probably can’t live in a large city (unless you provide a mechanism that allows for this possibility). You must incorporate at least 20 of the anthropological terms that we have learned this semester in your essay....

...with each other. Implications are discussed for incorporating automatic essay scoring in more general forms of educational technology. 1. Introduction While writing is an essential part of the educational process, many instructors find it difficult to incorporate large numbers of writing assignments in their courses due to the effort required to evaluate them. However, the ability to convey information verbally is an important educational achievement in its own right, and one that is not sufficiently well assessed by other kinds of tests. In addition, essay-based testing is thought to encourage a better conceptual understanding of the material and to reflect a deeper, more useful level of knowledge and application by students. Thus grading and commenting on written texts is important not only as an assessment method, but also as a...

...1. McDonald’s McDonald's had one of the best logistics models in India. To maintain consistency and quality of its products, McDonald's shipped all the raw materials — lettuce, patties et al to a cold storage close to the main market. Based on a daily demand schedule that was prepared a day in advance, the required amount of raw material was transported to individual outlets. 2. Subhiksha Inventory management Subhiksha has a centralized purchasing system. This eliminates multiplicity of billings, which would occur if the stores were to make independent purchases. Subhiksha has 3 separate godowns for stocking Pharmacy products, unbranded groceries and branded FMCGs. It has a fleet of 10 tempos, which supplies its stores once a day. As the discount format requires holding costs to be at a minimum all the stores are connected in an intranet to facilitate inventory planning. Also spot payments made, helped to get cash discounts to the company. 3. Field Fresh Distribution Strategy It follows a strategy of minimum suppliers to take advantage of economies of scale (in purchasing and supply logistics), reduced overheads and control requirements, and easier vendor development. Food World works on the hub-and-spoke model. A hub is typically of 50,000-60,000 sq ft in area and serves about 30-40 stores in a radius of 30 km .Creation of Regional Hubs facilitates over 90% central distribution .The remaining 10% (mostly perishable items like fruits and vegetables, bakery etc)...

...SCM Term Paper In the term paper, I would like to further discuss the ZARA case. My reasons are as followed. To begin with, ZARA has become a most popular fashion collection retailer in Taiwan, so it is interesting and instructive to understand how it can attain such success. Moreover, since I am an “IT” person, I would also like to figure out whether the information system plays an important role in ZARA’s supply chain. To start with my paper, I will first introduce some properties or concepts that had been discussed in class and were pertinent to ZARA. * Distribution Center: Distribution of both outsourced and in-house manufactured garments was centralized at Zara’s 500,000 square meter distribution center in La Coruna. Hanging garments were arranged on coded bars that sorted automatically by style within the distribution center; stock-picking of hanging garments was done manually. Folded garments were sorted on a carousel, with each garment dropped down a chute toward a box for its destination store based on its bar code. Shipments were made out of the distribution center twice a week. Local stores received goods within 24-36 hours of shipment in Europe and within 1-2 days outside Europe. No inventory was held centrally, and there was almost no inventory at the stores that was not on the selling floor. * Integral Process: Zara is a great example of applying vertical integration in supply chain. Zara’s products are designed at the Inditex headquarters in La Coruna...
