For this assignment, research cutting-edge technologies in the area of databases, data management, big data, business intelligence, cloud technology, etc. You should assume that you are presenting to the management group at your company, with the intention of having them adopt the technology for one of their products. If you do not currently work for an organization, you may develop a hypothetical situation. Choose one cutting-edge technology and research it in depth. This technology must be cutting edge and, therefore, should not yet have wide adoption in the industry. Prepare a PowerPoint (or similar technology) presentation, in which you do the following: Identify the new technology and provide a comprehensive discussion of the new technology’s functionality. Discuss the new technology’s advantages and disadvantages. Discuss the evolution of technology. Contrast its current functionality with the functionality of its predecessors.

In Chapters 26 and 27, we are discussing the case studies of Bim Consultants and Nerds Galore companies. One of the risks that an enterprise  needs to address is employee satisfaction. High turnover of employees underlines a problem at the workplace, which can affect customer satisfaction and pose a threat to the business. The new HR VP at Nerds Galore has decided to address the high turnover issue at the company through a series of steps including outsourcing.

How does this may impact the organizational culture and employee morale? To complete this assignment, you must do the following: A) Create a new thread. As indicated above, assume that you have been asked to address high turnover problem at your company (or at Nerds Galore Inc), what steps would you take? How does this may impact the organizational culture and employee morale? ANSWER ALL OF THE QUESTIONS ABOVE IN YOUR THREAD B) Select AT LEAST 2 other students’ threads and post substantive comments on those threads, evaluating the pros and cons of that student’s recommendations. Your comments should extend the conversation started with the thread. ALL original posts and comments must be substantive. (I’m looking for about a paragraph – not just “I agree.”) NOTE: These discussions should be informal discussions, NOT research papers. If you MUST directly quote a resource, then cite it properly.

Assignment 1: Multi-Touch Screens vs. Mouse-Driven Screens Due Week 3 and worth 180 points  The following resources may be helpful when completing this assignment.  Dearden, A. (2008). User-Centred Design Considered Harmful Norman, D. (2007–2010). Activity-Centred Design: Why I like my Harmony Remote Control Computer applications that run on desktop and laptop computers have, for a long time, been designed to be driven by dragging and clicking a mouse. With the introduction of tablet personal computers, the trend has shifted toward using touch-based screens. We now have access to touch-based TVs, touch-based monitors, touch-based laptops and touch-based tablets. Touch and multi-touch devices provide end-users with the ability to interact physically with an application much more naturally.  Imagine that you are the Information Technology Director of a major chain restaurant, and you have been assigned to design a menu ordering application that can run on all devices. Examine whether using a touch-screen monitor, a tablet or using a mouse to select menu items to place an order would be most efficient. Speculate how employees would interact with these devices and the type of emotional reaction that customers and employees will experience while placing a beverage, appetizer or entrée order.  Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:  Differentiate between the interaction types and styles that apply to multi-touch screens and applications running on them. Determine the conceptual model that you would use when designing a product for your restaurant. Describe the key analogies and concepts these monitors expose to users, including the task-domain objects users manipulate on the screen. Determine one (1) utility/tool in an application for touch-based and mouse-driven screens that should be designed with memory retention/recall. Provide a rationale for your response. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources. You may use the resources above or others of your choosing. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements: This course requires the use of new Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different from other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details. Typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required assignment page length. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow the SWS format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.  The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:  Describe the relationship between the cognitive principles and their application to interfaces and products. Explain the conceptual terms for analyzing human interaction with affordance, conceptual models, and feedback. Use technology and information resources to research issues in human-computer interaction. Write clearly and concisely about human-computer interaction topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions. Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using this rubric

Given the knowledge you have gained about data dictionaries and metadata, put yourself in the role of an electronic health record designer. Specify the attributes that should be included in the database to correctly identify and track patients.
