Aim:
You have been asked to present a proposal for an Internet/Intranet solution for a college. The college is especially interested in the promised efficiency gains to be found from new ways of working online, and the possibilities for cost savings (e.g. less printed material distribution, allow staff to work more efficiently, and students can access course material anywhere at any time). You will research how an Internet/Intranet can best be implemented for the college. You have been asked to report back to the person in charge of ICT of the college within 4 weeks with the plan of the Internet/Intranet.
The aim of this assignment is to report on your research and give recommendations on how the college should implement the Internet/Intranet, outlining the benefits and risks of each option. You are expected to focus on the following main areas:
1. Content

o Who within the organisation will have responsibility for each type of content?
o Who will be allowed access to each type of content?
2. Maintenance
o How often will each type of information be updated?
o Who would be responsible to update the information?
o How will you ensure it is up to date (manually or automatically)?
3. Standards and procedures
o Who would be responsible for each type of content?
o Are there any security, privacy or copyright issues for any of the types of information?
