In this assessment, you will address a contemporary organisational or business issue and apply research skills to identify, select and analyse 10 sources to form an annotated bibliography. The issue and resources used in Assessment 1A will also form the basis for Assessment 1B - Forming an Argument.

A digital communications topic will be selected by your lecturer in week 1. The selected topic will be the basis of student research for all three assessments.

When examining a topic(decided by the facilitator), consider the following:

• Locate material (books, periodicals, white papers and other documents) that may contain useful information and ideas on your issue.
• Briefly examine and review the items and select 10 that represent a variety of perspectives on the issue.
• Write an annotation of 150 words for each reference summarising the central theme and scope. The annotation should include one or more sentences that,
o evaluate the authority or background of the author
o comment on the intended audience
o compare or contrast this work with another you have cited
o explain how this work illuminates your bibliography topic
• Reference the book, article, or document using APA 6th style in the reference list.
o Use at least 1 in-text citation per annotation.

Be sure to review a variety of resources before selecting the 10 most suitable ones. Please include a title page, use the APA 6th referencing style, and list the materials in alphabetical order.
