...Web Communications Assignment 1: Exercise - Short Question & Answers In Brief: This assignment is worth 15% of your mark for this unit. Please refer to the calendar in your Unit Outline for the due date. Instructions: Please answer all of the following questions. Each answer should be a paragraph in length, and the maximum total word length for the assignment is 750 words. 1. What is the Internet? 2. What is the World Wide Web? 3. What is the relationship between the World Wide Web and the Internet? 4. What are three purported differences between the World Wide Web as it first emerged, and the more recent Web 2.0? 5. What is RSS and why is it significant to Web 2.0? The word length averages out to 150 words for each answer, which is sufficient to answer each question, but only if you write concisely. One of the challenges of short word-lengths is making sure you avoid any unnecessary material and get straight to your main points. Since the overall assignment is worth 15 marks, this means that each question is worth 3 marks. It follows that for each question there are (at least) three full and distinct points you should be making. Since there is probably a lot more than three points possible for each question, you need to select what you think are the three most important points. Being clear and concise is the key to doing well in this assignment. You must clearly indicate all references and sources for the material informing your answers using in-text citations...

...Unit 3: Introduction to Marketing Unit code: Y/502/5411 QCF Level 3: BTEC National Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim and purpose of this unit is to give learners an understanding of how marketing, research and planning and the marketing mix are used by all organisations. Unit introduction Marketing is at the heart of every organisation’s activity. Its importance is also growing in the non-commercial, public and voluntary sectors. Also, at the heart of marketing is the customer. This unit will introduce learners to some of the tools and techniques all types of organisations use to achieve their objectives. Firstly, learners will explore how different types of organisations use marketing principles to meet the needs of their customers and achieve their objectives. The constraints under which organisations operate are important and learners will study the legal requirements and voluntary codes that affect marketing. Learners will then go on to investigate how organisations collect data through market research and turn it into useful information which can be analysed and used to plan their marketing activities. The segmentation and targeting of groups of customers is a key marketing technique and this is studied in detail. This includes the different bases for segmentation of both consumer and business markets. Next, learners will examine how a marketing mix is developed to meet the needs and aspirations of...

...Unit 5: Business Accounting Unit code: M/502/5415 QCF Level 3: BTEC National Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to enable learners to understand the purpose of accounting, and the associated processes and its role in the managing of a business. Learners will develop the skills and knowledge needed to understand financial information. Unit introduction Understanding how a business operates and what makes it successful, requires knowledge of the accounting process. Accounting involves recording business transactions and, this in turn, leads to the generation of financial information which can be used as the basis of good financial control and planning. Inadequate record keeping and a lack of effective planning ultimately lead to poor financial results. It is vital that owners and managers of businesses recognise the indications of potential difficulties. Remedial action can then be taken. The unit is divided into two parts. The first develops an understanding of the accounting processes necessary to provide accurate and relevant financial information. The second part covers the practical aspect of carrying out those accounting activities. Learners will be introduced to accounting terminology as they study the purpose and function of accounting and consider the various categories of business income and expenditure. It is important to know the sources of an organisation’s income and the nature...
