Writing a Draft of the Personal Document
Revising your writing provides you the chance to ensure your
ideas are clear and effective prior to submitting the final draft.
At times it can be challenging to see problematic areas in your
own writing; this is where peer feedback can be very beneficial.
Prepare: Complete the assigned Unit 4 Reading and Learning
Activities. Preview the Unit 4 Assignment details.
Review the topic ideas and prewriting you posted to the Unit 3
Discussion Board as well as the feedback you received from
your classmates. Make any necessary adjustments to your topic,
audience, and main point. That will prepare you to write a rough
draft of your blog post.
Post: Post Your Draft
Using your prewriting ideas and feedback that helped you to
choose one topic, audience, and purpose, write a 2–3-paragraph
rough draft of your Unit 4 Assignment and post it to the
Discussion Board. This is going to be a rough draft, so do not
worry if it needs editing and revision. All drafts need work.
Include a bit of self-reflection as well so the class knows how to
best help you:
· What aspects of your draft do you think could use
development?
· What aspects of your draft do you think are strong?
· Which areas of your draft are you still working on?
· Include an open-ended question about any issue your initial
post raises which your classmates can help you with.
Respond: Respond to classmates’ postings
Make comments and ask questions about two classmates’ drafts.
Be sure to address the following points:
· What was the purpose of the document?
· Who is the intended audience?
· If you were the audience, would you be helped by the writer’s

points and use of personal experience? How so?
· Are there places where more needs to be said?
· Using your knowledge of the revision process, what
suggestions could you make for revising this draft?
Review a sample student Discussion Board post.
Discussion requirements
Initial post should:
· demonstrate effectively developed paragraphs
· be on topic
· be original
· contribute to the quality of the discussion
· make frequent and informed references to the unit concepts
ASSIGNMENT
Expressing Yourself Informally
For the Unit 4 Assignment, you will write a 1–1.5-page, double
spaced, informal and personal blog post on an issue that is in
some way relevant to your field of study and that you have
personal experience with.
According to The Social Psychology Network, a blog, “short for
"web log," is an online journal or record of sequential postings
with news, commentary, or other material” (2017). Like an
essay, a blog post establishes and develops a clear point about a
topic or issue. Depending on the topic, audience, and purpose, a
blog can be formal or informal. A blog written by an individual,
for example, tends to be about his or her experience with the
topic and is written in first person.
Imagine for this Assignment that you have created your own
blog site and that you are writing a post for your blog site. This
specific blog post should establish a clear main point about your
chosen topic, use your personal experience to develop that main
point, and establish a connection with your non-professional

audience through showing them how your experience might be
of value in helping them in some way.
Examples might include:
· If you are in the medical field and have experience with
taking care of family members who are sick, you might write a
blog post to other caretakers who are tending to family
members, perhaps showing them a way they can avoid the stress
that caretaking will create for them.
· If you are in the law enforcement field, though you may not
have experience with being a police officer, you might use your
experience as a parent to write to other parents about what they
might do to help their children to not get involved in gangs, if
you have any relevant experience with it or know people who
have.
· If you are in the field of education, you may not be an
experienced teacher with a degree, but you no doubt have
experience either as a student or parent and could write a blog
post to other first year college students, offering them a
suggestion for how to manage their time or avoid
procrastination on assignments.
Generating Ideas for Your Blog Post Topic:
· Brainstorm your experiences: What personal experiences do
you have with issues of ANY sort that are in some way related
to your field of study?
· Talk with others: Classmates, friends and family, WC tutors,
your instructors.
· Review this document for links to blogs and articles in your
field of study. Writers often identify something they want to
write about by responding to what others have written. You
might read a blog post about the causes of homelessness in the
US and then write your own blog post to people in your
community suggesting a way they might help solve this problem
in your community.
You will also be engaging in Discussion Board activities in
Units 3 and 4 to help you in your writing process.
· In Unit 3 Discussion Board, you will post as many possible

topic ideas as you want. Posting your possible topics, audience,
and purpose allows you to get feedback from your instructor and
classmates. This feedback will help you decide on a topic and
make any necessary adjustments before you move to the
drafting stage.
· In Unit 4 Discussion Board, you will post a draft of your blog
post and a plan for revising this draft. The feedback you receive
from your instructor and classmates will help you to revise and
strengthen your blog post and prepare it for submission as your
Unit 4 Assignment.
Be sure that your Unit 4 Assignment meets the following
requirements:
· Focuses on one specific point about the issue being written
about
· Uses personal experience to develop ideas; avoid research
· Connects with the audience and establishes relevance of the
topic to them
· Demonstrates substantial revision of the Unit 4 Discussion
Board post draft
· Uses appropriate informal language, depending upon topic,
audience, and purpose
· Is organized into 3–5 well-developed paragraphs, 1–1.5
double-spaced pages
· Utilizes transition devices to connect ideas
· Applies Standard American English and avoids distracting
grammar and punctuation errors
· Demonstrates 6th Edition APA formatting, including title page
· Cites any and all uses of source information (quotes, ideas,
paraphrases) both in the references page and in text where the
source is used

IT 657: Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
There are two final projects for this course.
Final Project One: Board Presentation: Overview
Organizations in every industry are continually attempting to
streamline business practices and processes, efficiently allocate
resources, and improve overall
business value. More and more, information technology (IT)
provides the best solutions for organizational issues, making it
important for IT professionals to gain
an understanding of resource management and business needs,
both at the procedural and technical levels. As such, your final
project for this course centers on
the use of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. You
will be constructing a proposal for decision-makers that
explains the function and value of such
systems and will develop a basic structure and implementation
plan for an ERP system catered to the organization outlined in
the scenario below. This project will
provide you with the opportunity to highlight the value of ERP
systems and to make recommendations for improving enterprise
resource management in an
organization.
The project is divided into five milestones, which will be
submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold
learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules
One, Three, Five, Six and Seven. The final submissions will

occur in Modules Eight and Nine.
In Final Project One, you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following course outcomes:
ting, storing,
and sharing data into cohesive enterprise resource management
systems
managing enterprise resources within specific industries
ormation
systems have the potential for consolidating technologies and
successful integration into
organizationalenvironments
opportunities to improve efficiency across enterprises
terprise resource planning proposals that address
organizational needs and optimize business processes
Scenario
Imagine you are the IT director of the George Washington
School District, a 30,000-student district spanning 30
elementary, six middle, and four high schools. As
the district expands, you are continuously trying to improve the
use of technology across the schools, specifically in the areas of
resource and information
management.

The superintendent has informed you that the district was
awarded a $100,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates
Foundation to improve technology within
the district, and the board is awaiting your determinations on
what improvements may best serve the district. After meeting
with the IT staff and talking to
faculty and staff across the district, you have decided that
integrating a district-wide ERP system would be the best use of
the grant.
Currently, data is stored centrally in the district office as well
as in each of the 40 school databases. The IT team provides
maintenance and support for the
student information system, a district portal, 40 individual
school websites, voice-over-internet protocol (VoiP), and the
individual district office departments.
The district office consists of the human resources department,
budget, maintenance and operations, accounting, information
technology, education technology,
child welfare and attendance, risk management, special
programs, and the special education department. The student
system consists of a 2014 SQL Server with
a Microsoft Access front end database. The business system is a
proprietary system that runs on an IBM AS/400 Mainframe.
Ideally, you would like to connect the following systems:
student information system, human resources system, payroll,
research and assessment, and risk
management. In order to appropriate the recent funds to
implement the ERP system, you must brief the school board at
the next meeting on your proposal and

the value of enterprise resource planning for the district.
Additionally, you must construct a proposal detailing how the
funds will be utilized and the steps for
implementation of an ERP system. While the board members
will be primarily concerned about your presentation and your
expected allocation of funds, IT staff
will need the detailed proposal to prepare for implementation
and potential challenges. Therefore, it is important to balance
the technical needs with the
organizational needs while drafting your written proposal in
order to connect with both audiences. Be sure to provide the
appropriate resources and examples
for support when necessary. In the professional IT world,
research is key, and supporting your claims becomes one of the
most successful means of persuasion.
Prompt
Your board presentation must address the following prompt:
What value could the ERP system provide the George
Washington School District and, in general,
how do you plan to allocate the grant funds?
Specifically, the follow critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction:
a) Summary of Issues: Summarize the IT issues that the district
is facing because of its lack of an ERP system. In other words,
provide a brief
assessment of the existing information systems (the
technology/software/hardware) used throughout the district and
how effective or

ineffective the current systems are. Explain your reasoning, and
provide examples or instances of issues to substantiate your
claims.
b) Current Business Processes: Analyze the current high-level
business processes (the procedure that each terminal, such as
each school,
employs to store and analyze information, for example) used in
relation to the flow of information shared across the district to
identify areas
that could be altered to improve efficiency.
c) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems: Provide an
overview of enterprise resource planning systems. Specifically,
review the concepts
of ERP for board members to facilitate their understanding of
the purpose and functionality of the concepts. Be sure to
address the following
questions:
i. What is ERP and what is its purpose?
ii. What are the leading tools?
iii. What are the types of systems that you can connect to ERP
systems?
iv. What types of reporting can ERP systems produce?
II. Examples of Use: What other organizations or school
districts utilize ERP systems? Provide a brief evaluation of that
organization’s use of a particular
ERP system/tool for managing enterprise resources. To what
extent has the implementation within this organization improved

the management of
resources?
III. Pros/Cons of Implementing ERP: Weigh the pros and cons
of implementing an ERP system for George Washington School
District. Some areas to
consider include cost, limitations of reporting, and impact(s) on
current users and process.
A. Limitations: Assess the extent to which there are limitations
of ERP that will not allow for consolidation and successful
integration of all
existing and potential systems. Will the ERP system be able to
connect to all systems? Is there any information that might be
difficult to
obtain from the ERP system? How can you address these
limitations? Provide sources relevant to the scenario to support
your claims.
B. Key Considerations: For George Washington School District,
what are the key considerations before implementing an ERP
system? What level
of implementation needs to happen (full, partial, etc.)? What
software purchases are necessary? Will you need to purchase
software to
implement the ERP design?
C. Integration of Software and Technology:
1. Integration: How will you handle implementation? Outline a
brief big-picture plan for handling integration of software and
technology that attends to the key considerations around data
collection, storage, and sharing across the district. To what
extent
will you need to integrate different software and technologies?

2. Organizational Needs: What organizational needs and factors
need to be considered when planning for integration? Will you
need
to hire a consultant to ensure proper implementation or will
your IT staff be able to support the new system? What type of
training
will be required for your users and who will have access to the
system?
IV. Closing Statement: Return on Investment: What is the goal
of the ERP system? How can the information in an ERP system
add value to the
organization? How can we ensure the implementation will be
worth the investment?
Final Project Two: Structure and Implementation Proposal:
Overview
Organizations in every industry are continually attempting to
streamline business practices and processes, efficiently allocate
resources, and improve overall
business value. More and more, information technology (IT)
provides the best solutions for organizational issues, making it
important for IT professionals to gain
an understanding of resource management and business needs,
both at the procedural and technical levels. As such, your final
project for this course centers on
the use of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. You will
be constructing a proposal for decision-makers that explains the
function and value of such
systems and will develop a basic structure and implementation
plan for an ERP system catered to the organization outlined in
the scenario below. This project will
provide you with the opportunity to highlight the value of ERP
systems and to make recommendations for improving enterprise

resource management in an
organization.
In Final Project Two, you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following course outcomes:
te software and technology used in collecting, storing,
and sharing data into cohesive enterprise resource management
systems
managing enterprise resources within specific industries
the extent to which existing and proposed information
systems have the potential for consolidating technologies and
successful integration into
organizationalenvironments
opportunities to improve efficiency across enterprises
organizational needs and optimize business processes
Prompt
Assuming that you obtained board approval to move forward
with this project, you will next create a structure and
implementation proposal that details the
steps required to complete the implementation from start to

finish. Remember: you are providing an implementation strategy
for IT staff that outlines the
structure and steps for successful implementation. When you
make assumptions based on the context and scenario, be sure to
identify them and explain your
reasoning. As a professional, you will want to provide support
for your assumptions and conclusions to ensure your projects
maintain validity.
Specifically, the follow critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction: Provide an introduction that lays the
groundwork for your proposal and tells the audience the
importance of the proposal and how, in
general, it will benefit the school district.
II. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP):
a) Existing Systems: What existing systems will need to be
replaced, updated, or integrated with new software? Assess the
existing systems for their
potential to be successfully integrated into thenew structure.
b) Enterprise Resource System: Provide your justification and
rationale for the specific type of ERP system you have selected.
Why was the tool you
selected the best choice for the school district? What particular
aspects were appealing for providing a cohesive representation
of resources
across the district?
c) Software Integration: Which systems will you include in the
ERP? What type of information will you need to identify from

each system? How will
you integrate collection, storage, and sharing tools to ensure a
cohesive representation of district resources?
d) Visualization: Provide a visual representation of the overall
structure you intend to implement. This should include a view
for both board
members and IT professionals to refer to. Be sure to make
reference to any remaining systems and highlight how the new
system will allow each
remote office to link to the centrallocation.
e) Assessment of Proposed Integration: Assess the extent to
which you feel the new system will have consolidated the old
variety of disparate
systems that currently exist. How will such consolidation
improve efficiency across the district? Provide appropriate
support to your reasoning.
III. Implementation:
a) Timeline and Steps: Include a reasonable timeline for
implementation. Some things to consider: Is there sufficient
time between milestones?
What milestones and key deliverables will be required to
complete the data warehouse from start to finish?
b) Tools: What tools are available to help integrate existing
software? What criteria will you use to determine how effective
the tools are in meeting
the needs of the organization?
c) Business Processes: How will you determine the workflow of
common processes within the organization? To what extent will
the ERP system
improve efficiency of business processes?

Milestone One: Overview of the Implementation Process
Milestones
In Module One, you will submit a two- to three-page paper
discussing an overview of the implementation process. Provide
an overview of the implementation
process (e.g., the ERP life cycle, business process
reengineering, project management, and change management).
Discuss the role of staff, vendors, consultants,
and the organization in making the ERP implementation process
successful. This milestone is graded with the Milestone One
Rubric.
Milestone Two: Service-Oriented Architecture
In Module Three, you will submit a two- to three-page paper
discussing the three major ERP vendors: SAP, Oracle, and
Microsoft Dynamics. Compare the Service-
Oriented Architecture (SOA) in a tablet format, and discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of each system. Discuss which
system you would recommend for
your organization and your rationale and justification for your
decision. This milestone is graded with the Milestone Two
Rubric.
Milestone Three: Board Presentation
In Module Five, you will create a Board Presentation that

addresses the following prompt: What value could the ERP
system provide the George Washington
School District and, in general, how do you plan to allocate the
grant funds? This milestone is graded with the Milestone Three
Rubric.
Milestone Four: Implementation Proposal
In Module Six, you will submit the Implementation Proposal to
the School Board. Assuming that you obtained board approval
to move forward with this project,
you will next create a structure and implementation proposal
that details the steps to complete the implementation from start
to finish. Remember: you are
providing an implementation strategy for IT staff that outlines
the structure and steps for successful implementation. When you
make assumptions based on the
context and scenario, be sure to identify them and explain your
reasoning. As a professional, you will want to provide support
for your assumptions and
conclusions to ensure your projects maintain validity. This
milestone is graded with the Milestone Four Rubric.
Milestone Five: Presentation and Implementation Revisions
In Module Seven, you will use the feedback provided by your
instructor from Milestones Five and Six to improve the Board
Presentation and Implementation
Proposal you submitted. Assume that the Board liked your
proposal but had several questions regarding the implementation
schedule, more specific costs, and
how you would address potential roadblocks. You really want to
have a solid and bulletproof plan, so you use your feedback to
make revisions to submit to the
Board one last time. This milestone is graded with the
Milestone Five Rubric.

Final Submission One: Presentation to the Board
In Module Eight, you will submit the Presentation to the Board.
It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the
critical elements of the final
product. It should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained
throughout the course. This submission will be graded using the
Final Project Rubric One.
Final Submission Two: Structure and Implementation Proposal
In Module Nine, you will submit the Structure and
Implementation Proposal. It should be a complete, polished
artifact containing all of the critical elements of
the final product. It should reflect the incorporation of feedback
gained throughout the course. This submission will be graded
using the Final Project Rubric

that effective presentations contain
main points and visuals, but the heart of your presentation is in
your verbal communication. The presentation should be
approximately 10–12 slides with notes
indicating intended speech or a recording of yourself giving
your presentation. Remember, this is a professional presentation
to the district school board
members, so errors of spelling or unprofessional elements could
result in a less-than-favorable outcome for your proposal.

In the current liberal studies field, the topics of global cultures
and social/public policy have elevated debates both in social
and political frontiers. Specifically, in social and public policy
the hot topic of legalizing Marijuana in many states of U.S.A is
having an effect on both social and cultural constructs (Homel
& Brown, 2017). Also, the topic of ethnic diversity and
inclusion in higher education and wider business arena is
become imperative with the view of increasing performance in
all involved stakeholders including students and employees
(Benschop et al., 2015). Surprising, the two topics are
interrelated but provides a wider approach of the aspects they
cover, which calls for wider researches and reflection on
experiences encountered in both social and political structures.
Global cultures provide a wider ethnic diversity and it becomes
imperative for liberal studies specialists to come up with
amicable ways of ensuring inclusion especial in higher
education (Benschop et al., 2015). During my liberal studies
course, I have integrated with different students from different
ethnic and cultural backgrounds, but the challenges of inclusion
which such student’s face has been immense. This raises the
question of which strategies can be safely employed to advocate
ethnic diversity and inclusion in higher education and wider
business arena. Social and public policing is also become a hot
topic for liberal studies specialists. The topic of legalizing

Marijuana is receiving tied feelings, with both public and
political frontiers admonishing/upholding the legalization
policy. The issues of unemployment, financial gain, and curbing
illegal corporation which operates on illegal drugs, have been
the onset of advocating for the move (Homel & Brown, 2017). I
have been interested with policies that influences both social
and economic growth within the political constructs.
Researches communicated through blogs or research articles,
needs to identify the intended audiences to reach their purpose.
The topics of global cultures and social/public policing are best
channeled to liberal studies specialists. In the policy of
legalizing Marijuana, it becomes imperative to establish the
positive and negative impacts of the policy to the society by the
specialists (Homel & Brown, 2017). This will help in changing
critics that advocates for either positive or negative approach
towards the legalization of marijuana in both political and
social structures. Conversely, universities and college
administrators have toiled on finding effective strategies that
will advocate ethnic diversity and inclusion in higher education.
These calls for liberal studies specialists to do amicable
researches on how to effectively realize the goal of ethnic
diversity and inclusion (Benschop et al., 2015). This will
provide cultural intelligence to the involved stakeholders and
enhance ethnic diversity in different setups. The topic of ethnic
diversity and inclusion in higher education and business arena
will be my preferred topic, as it addresses the wider nature of
global cultures in effecting performance.
Prewriting Activity
Freewriting is the simplest form of prewriting strategy to
narrow down a chosen topic. The chosen topic is global cultures
with the theme, ethnic diversity and inclusion in higher
education and business arena. How do you think ethnic diversity

and inclusion plays an important role in higher education and
business arena? With the easy access of education and work
permits, different cultured individuals find their way to higher
education institutions or work environments hence ethnic
differences is noted. However, this influences the relation and
performance of different individuals which can influence
conflicts and differences. Therefore, it becomes imperative for
liberal studies specialists to identify the best models to
advocate for effective ethnic diversity and inclusion in these
environments. Can cultural training help?
