Daily Note

We are learning about system fundamentals. The link to your questions can be found here. Please add to this document

In the last class we learned about: 

Today we are learning about: 

User Focus

System Backup

Software Deployment

We are going to start by walking through an algorithm to iterate through a 2D list

Here are todays standards:
 

  • Evaluate different methods of providing user documentation.
  • Evaluate different methods of delivering user training.
  • Identify a range of causes of data loss.
  • Outline the consequences of data loss in a specified situation.
  • Describe a range of methods that can be used to prevent data loss.
  • Describe strategies for managing releases and updates.

 

 

 

A little less comfortable

Content

You must understand all the standards associated with system fundamentals.  

Process

The key question  here is how does a system integrate into an organization? You should think about the relationship between a system and the organization it provides value to. You should be thinking about every stage of the lifecycle - introducing the system into the organization, changing the system, and legacy systems / data migration. 

Product

Look at any system within an organization and understand how it provides value to the organization. 

A little more comfortable

Content

You must understand all the standards associated with system fundamentals.  You must be able to teach other people about how to correctly design a system, and what factors come into play when designing a system. You should be able to write quiz questions for content and evaluate if an answer is correct, or which is answer is the most correct. 

Process

The key question  here is how does a system integrate into an organization? You should think about the relationship between a system and the organization it provides value to. You should be thinking about every stage of the lifecycle - introducing the system into the organization, changing the system, and legacy systems / data migration. You should plan these systems to support a small business, medium business or an enterprise business. 

Product

Look at any system within an organization and understand how it provides value to the organization. You should also evalaute how these systems might work better in an organization. 

Our Big idea

The big idea for today is System fundamentals.

The essential questions for this topic are:

How do you design a system so it works really well for your client or customer?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to
learn more about system fundamentals (which is connected to today's daily note), please click here .

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
