...In designing any interface to be used with an information system, one must be clear, concise and unambiguous, in manners of text, or else risk losing the person performing interaction. One thing that will frustrate a user quicker than anything is not being able to find help when it is needed. We will discuss three aspects of text in the interface redesign of the KUCampus Course Landing page; they are commentary text, help text and hypertext. Commentary text should allow a user to see a system state or the functionality behind a system. As an example, if a user places the mouse over an icon that has a picture of a pair of scissors; the commentary text would be, cut, hopefully. If anything other than cut is displayed the user may be confused, since the pair of scissors is generally accepted as the cut icon. For the redesign of the KUCampus Course Landing page, I will endeavor to utilize generally accepted commentary text for all icons, and utilize common sense logic in relation to commentary text for all buttons and menus. Help text is critical for any interface design and/or redesign. Users at some point in their use of a computing system will come across stumbling blocks and require help. Providing help in a way that will benefit the user and keep them satisfied with the interaction is paramount to a healthy program. Microsoft defines help into four categories: Contextual Help, Procedural Help, Reference Help and Conceptual Help. (Heim, 2008) The Contextual help...

...Reflection 1 Short Reflection Paper Marqus L. Harris INF 103 Thomas Hennefer September 3, 2012 Reflection 2 Searching for information on Google is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Is that true? Was the library of the 19th century more efficient? Explain. How is searching in a specific database, such as Ashford’s library, different from searching in Bing, Google, or Yahoo? The founder of Wikipedia has a noble mission – to share the entire world’s information with everyone everywhere, anytime. In what ways has this mission been successful? In what ways has it not been successful? It is defiantly a tough challenge when trying to research certain information that is needed. In my personal opinion I consider it to be a very tough task indeed. Once the information is gathered from Google, then the part of trying to determine is the information is accurate, credible, or more reliable to put in a research paper. Google is the main and most popular website for information, but yet you will at times still come across some misleading information that is not allowed for academic research papers. The web at times can mislead us with certain information missing and misconceptions. Belgian lawyer Paul Otlet in the 19th century understood that each profession was experiencing a substance growth of data. Science was above all the drawback as a result of the increasing publications of such. Otlet...

...January 21, 2014 CSIS 1010 EC Assignment 2 1. The basic idea of HTML came from one person’s ideas and thoughts and having another person add their ideas to it and so on and so forth. As most things that are invented and perfected. Html came about because someone wanted away to store all of their information including books, records, letters, and research results. Vannevar Bush wrote an article about a machine he called Memex that could do all of this. He was trying to use the skills that were learned from war in World War II and implement them into peacetime activities. After this idea other scientist and engineers started adding their input to the idea eventually ending up with Hypertext Markup Language. Markup tags are the basic fundamentals of HTML. Most markup tags come in pairs and are between commands in a webpage. Usually a text or a graphic are in between the two commands or markup tags. Markup tags are invisible though so you would never know that they are there. Parameters are included within the beginning command tag, placed before the second bracket that provide supplementary instructions such as color, size, location, ect. 2. HTML and XML are both markup languages. They both also use tags. They both are read by software. HTML describes attributes of text and XML does not. XML is like a data base. In XML a person has to create their own tags unlike HTML where it has a preset language. HTML also displays the data while XML does not. Anything that has pictures...

...Socio-cultural Issues Perhaps the most enriching and obvious societal change influenced by the web is education. The Internet is a library of infinite knowledge, and like all knowledge, some can help us and some can hurt us. Although there are numerous beneficial effects that the web has on education, I will address three: research, interactivity, and advancement. Research Having a virtual library with the ease and convenience of the Internet, students can be more efficient, resourceful, and creative in their schoolwork and research. Schoolwork can be submitted legibly by electronic mail, saving paper, time, and difficulty. The mere understandable, clear, and consistent typography of electronic media is a benefit in itself. Marshall McLuhan, author of Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, explains that typographic extensions brought man universal literacy and education (McLuhan 235). Furthermore, primary and secondary research can be conducted through the web. A student can interview a foreigner or visit the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, the White House Archives, and libraries from all over the world, traveling to places their circumstances might prevent. I know personally that when I was in high school, research on the Internet was almost mandatory. Most schools were taking a proactive approach to the integration of technology in the education system. Teachers would research and find articles from the Internet to incorporate into the lesson for the day...

...IT CANNOT ONLY BE LINKED, IT HAS TO BE DESIGNED Angel Gabriel Galindo Roman March 10th, 2014 It Cannot Only Be Linked, It Has To Be Designed The American pioneer of information technology, Theodor Holm Nelson, brings us to a world of fantasy, a world of aspiration; he brings us to his world of dream machines, the dreams of artificial intelligence. In 1974, Nelson knew “computers will be embraced in very presentational medium and thoughtful medium very soon”[Nelson, 1974, 306]. He was convinced of the importance of media and the need of its interconnection because “we live in media, as fish live in water”. However, he was concerned about how the general framework and structure of our information could affect the way we study or understand the shared information. He believed that, by a linear structure, one could not learn all the aspects a topic or research was able to communicate. Yet, he was convinced that if people were motivated by clear, available and appealing material, the instructional sequences would not be needed. Thus, Nelson proposes his alternative to such systems with the creation of “responding resources”. He emphasizes the creation of “branching or performing presentations which respond to user actions”[313]. He would define this as hypermedia, which have not yet been achieved in its totality by the invention of the World Wide Web. Nelson’s main inspiration for the creation of the concept of hypermedia was the reflection of Vannevar Bush and...

...1. An internet (small "i") is a group of computer networks that have been interconnected, "internet" is short for "interconnected network." One particular internet which uses a specific set of rules and connects networks all over the world to each other is called the Internet (capital "I"). Network of computers and the Internet that connects them to each other form the basic technological structure that underlies virtually all electronic commerce. 2. Computers can be connected to each other using the Internet, for example a computer that monitors inventory levels using sensors connected to it over the Internet can us its Internet connection to place inventory orders with a vendor's computer automatically. The subset of the Internet that includes these computers and sensors connected to each other for communication and automatic transaction processing is often called the Internet of Things. 3. A combination of telephone lines and the closed switches that connect them to each other is called a circuit. This circuit forms a single electrical path between caller and receiver. The single path of connected circuits switched into each other is maintained for the entire length of the call. this type of centrally controlled, single connection model is known as circuit switching. Circuit switching works well for telephone calls, it does not work as well for sending data across a large WAN or an interconnected network like the Internet. The Internet was designed to be resistant...

...Foods network. Understanding the usefulness of a traffic analysis and the effect of latency response time and jitter are also necessary. Other aspects of developing an effective network design are understanding the effect of data rate on each part of the network and developing strategies to ensure the availability of network access in switched and routed networks. Communication protocols are the pre-defined set of rules which enable the networked devices to communicate effectively with each other. These protocols determine how messages are sent and received, detect and recover transmission errors and determine how messages are formatted. These protocols are important because they define the guidelines which determine how computers communicate with each other in a standardized manner. The protocol identified for Kudler Fine Foods is the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Protocol Suite. There are many advantages to using this protocol. It is compatible with all operating systems, hardware, software and network configurations. This protocol is routable and highly scalable which enables expansion of the network as needed. It also provides very reliable data delivery. The Suite includes protocols such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). HTTP transfers web pages including plain text, audio, video, images and hypertext. FTP transfers files from one computer to another. SMTP...

...Networking A network protocol is a set of rules and communication procedures used by all stations that exchange data networks. There are many network protocols, but they are not the same role, or the same approach. Some network protocols operate at multiple layers of the OSI model, others may specialize in the creation of a task with a single layer of the OSI model. A packet transmitted over the network comprises a plurality of information corresponding to each of the different processing of the protocol stack layers. Different protocol stacks can coexist on the same station, according to the model of communication. The packets are ordered so the transmission process tries first one then the other. A network with multiple segments should generally use a routable protocol. In a protocol stack, different protocols are organized, ordered, hierarchical, one after the other in order to accomplish a set of tasks corresponding to all or part of the OSI model. The operation of different protocols in the stack must be coordinated in order to prevent conflicts and unfinished operations. According to the OSI model, the process of transmitting data over a network is divided into several stages, in a fixed order. The OSI model distinguishes seven basic steps, and breaks down the process of data transmission in seven layers. The links are ranked them by priority. The binding order of the protocol stack determines the order in which the network operating system runs protocols. Thus...
