Assessment Task 1: Workplace digital applications project

Task summary
This assessment task requires you to conduct research and develop a briefing report about current and innovative workplace digital applications. You will then be required to research cloud computing systems and set up and upload your briefing report to a public cloud computing system. Your assessor will observe you setting up and uploading the cloud computing system.

Required
• Access to textbooks/other learning materials
• Computer and Microsoft Office
• Access to the internet
• Briefing Report Template

Carefully read the following:
1. Conduct research
The first part of this assessment requires you to conduct research about workplace digital applications.

You will use your research to write a briefing report about the workplace digital applications that you have researched. Your assessor will provide you with a template for developing the report. Review the template prior to commencing your research. The report should write in clear and concise English.

Your research should address the following:
a. General trends and innovations in digital technology applicable to workplaces. You will need to research at least 5 trends/innovations, given an overview of each and briefly discuss what the trend/innovations means for a workplace.
b. Identify and review at least six workplace digital applications (two each for communications, technologies, and networks) that could be used for the following:
o Workplace communications (i.e. any digital tools that allow two or more people to communicate with each other and that may be written, verbal, visual, audible or a combination of these).
o Technologies that can be used in any area of the workplace e.g. hardware and software, learning management systems, record management and document management systems.
o Networking through digital applications to form and/or maintain relationships with other individual or organisations.

Note that you may focus on general technology, such as project management software, as well as a specific version of the technology, such as Wrike.

For each of the digital applications you identify, make notes to use in developing your briefing report. The report must address, as a minimum:
Name of the digital application
Brief description of the digital application, including its use in the workplace At least one benefit of using the digital application.

c. An important part of accessing digital information is to review the validity and reliability of information sources. Research the Internet to find out about assessing the validity and reliability of digital information sources. Your report should list at least five questions that should help to assess the validity and reliability of a digital information source.

d. In your briefing report, you will also be required to list at least three of the information sources you have used to research digital applications and for each of those sources answer each of the questions you have developed to determine and report on the validity and reliability of the identified information sources. You must provide an overall rating of the validity and reliability of each of the three information sources you used.

e. The final part of the research requires you to investigate legislation and regulations relevant to intellectual property and digital technology. Your research should address:
o Discuss intellectual property risks in relation to digital technology.
o List at least five Acts or Regulations that apply.
o Name of Act or Regulation that regulates intellectual property and digital content
o Its purpose and scope
f. Finally, you will need to research the key elements a workplace would need to consider when evaluating digital technology and information options to determine if they are fit for their purpose. You will need to discuss your findings in your report.

2. Develop briefing report
The next part of this report requires you to develop a briefing report based on the research you conducted above. Use the Briefing Report Template provided by your assessor to document the research that you conducted.

3. Research cloud computing system
In this part of the assessment, you are required you to research and set up a suitable cloud computing system, which you will use to share your briefing report with your assessor.

Research at least three options. At least one the options should be a public cloud computing system (which is the one you will use to file and share your briefing report with your assessor).

Your research should address:
the name of the cloud storage service
how it compares to other services - the advantages of disadvantages of each

brief description of the cloud computing systems storage capability
pricing and plans (as applicable).

Send an email to your assessor advising of the three systems you have researched and your comparisons, ensuring you address all of the above points, as well as advising which Cloud Computing System you are going to use based on your research and analysis.

4. Upload document to cloud computing system
The final part of this assessment requires you to set up the public cloud computing system you have identified from your research.

Your assessor will observe you completing this task using the observation checklist included in this assessment tool. Your assessor will also video you as proof that you have completed this task.

You will need to complete all of the following activities to show your assessor that you can use a cloud computing system.

• Set up an account in the public cloud computing system.
• Log into your account.
• Create a suitable folder to which you will upload your briefing report
• Upload the briefing report
• Share the briefing report with your assessor as per the sharing process for the system.
