Activities (in brief)
Organizational issues related to the installation of new systems such as user roles,
underlying technologies.
Discuss how user documentation can affect the rate of implementation of the new
system
 Causes include malicious activities and natural disasters
 Students should be aware of a variety of ways in which updates and patches are
made available and deployed. This includes automatic updates received on a
regular basis online
Review the roles include client, server, email server, DNS server, router and firewall
Review the role of the end-user must be considered when planning a new system
Students should be able to reproduce a block diagram showing the relationship between
the elements of the CPU, input and output and storage. The memory
address register (MAR) and memory data register (MDR) are the only ones that need to
be included.
 Define the terms: bit, byte, binary, denary/decimal, hexadecimal.
 Construct truth tables using the above operators.
Identify different types of networks. Which include local area network (LAN), virtual local
area network (VLAN), wide area network (WAN), storage area network (SAN), wireless
local area network (WLAN), internet, extranet, virtual private network (VPN), personal
area network (PAN), peer-to-peer (P2P).

Feedback and Assessment

Simple examples would involve financial planning, population growth, climate
change, building design, engineering design, etc.
 Rules may be presented as mathematical formulae, pseudocode algorithms,
tables of input and output values (conversions), or in any other clear,
understandable and specific format
Students should understand the concept of rendering and be familiar with the terms
wire-framing, ray tracing, lighting, key frame, mapping, texture
