This is an SOP for the inside field technician to create the report of the overall amount of tickets per day, how long it takes to fix a problem and if there any other problems told not in the ticket system.
This is a research paper I wrote an E-health intervention called Copacetic Diabetic (the name my group came up with). Our e-health intervention focused on newly diagnosed Diabetic patients, which we decided would be an mobile app and website. In this paper, I addressed the need for our intervention and the research literature I review. it also includes the mock-ups I created for our nutrition page. This demonstrates my research skills, I was a group member.
My teammate and I had to come up with a short report for our client Dr. Web, LLC. In this proposal we discussed the best opportunity for enhancing knowledge decision making among project. this document demonstrates my technical documentation skills. I was a group member.

DescriptionThe Aires Corporation is highly desirous of implementi.docxcarolinef5
Description
The Aires Corporation is highly desirous of implementing a new time tracking system to help automate their project control system, accounting and account receivables. The time tracking system is designed to allow employees and subcontractors to charge hours against project control accounts and to help prevent mischarging. The system is called Chronos and it is written in a modern database management system, which is the preferred database platform by Aires. The project is to integrate the time card system to project management, accounting and accounts receivable/payables. The Director of Information Technology (IT) has assigned an integration project to you as project manager; in addition, the director assigned a senior systems engineer to be the project's technical lead.
The Software Engineer has a team of five (5) developers that will work on the project; the Director has asked for a project management plan to be briefed to the IT senior leadership team, which is in a few days. Your mission is to construct a Microsoft Project proposal to help prepare for the briefing. You are also to construct a quick Total Project Cost (TPC) cross reference work sheet to verify the accuracy of the MS Project effort.
Organizing
As project manager, you meet with your development team and determine that the interface will be composed of input screens, interface processes, and verification reports for the integration of the time tracking system to the other legacy financial systems. The Developers have indicated that they would like to receive training on the Chronos system to help them with the database structures to facilitate the integration. The training would have to occur before any other activity could evolve. The team is highly adept to the other systems being used and the integration risk is mainly centered on Chronos Time Tracking system since it is new to the organization. The team has decided that the plan should be oriented on Design, Programming, Quality Assurance, Rework, Documentation, User Training, and Production. Lastly, the team recommended support from the Chronos vendor to address technical questions they might have during development of the interface. As project manager, you note that there are special stakeholders and decide to involve support from Finance and Project Management to address process and procedure questions that might arise during the design, development and testing of the interface. The outcome of the planning meeting with the entire project team is represented in the list under scope and schedule.

Introduction
The WBS is a view into the project which shows what work the project encompasses. It is a tool which helps to easily communicate the work and processes involved to execute the project. The Project Manager and project team use the WBS to develop the project schedule, resource requirements and costs. There are many ways you can present the WBS for your project; this template provides many of the most popular layouts from which you can choose. Depending on where in the Project Plan you're putting the WBS a different layout may be more suitable for you. For instance many Project Managers include a high level WBS within the project plan, then a detailed version as an appendix to the plan. You may find that you prefer one layout for a high level WBS and a different one for a detailed WBS.
In order to save space in this template we only developed the WBS examples down to the third level. In your project you will want to develop them down to a much more detailed level using the 8 to 80 rule (where the WBS is broken down to where a work package contains between 8 and 80 hours of work to complete).
The Work Breakdown Structure presented here represents all the work required to complete this project.
Outline View
The outline view presents an easy to view and understand layout for the WBS. It is also a good layout to use when developing the WBS because you can easily make changes, especially since the Microsoft Word auto numbering feature updates the WBS Code automatically.

Project Manager
Krishna Marepalli
Problem/Opportunity
ABC company has had serious challenges emanating from its hardware system, which has posed major shortfalls in the proper functioning of the company. The software system cannot function well with the current old-hardware in place. The central processing unit, computer data storage, monitor, motherboard, graphic card, keyboard, and sound card are not completely compatible with the current software and therefore the need to deploy a more current hardware. In the past, the ABC company staffs have been raising complains of non-response from the current hardware to the newly innovated software in the market. There has also been a total failure from some other parts like motherboard and keyboard of the computer system. Therefore, deploying a new hardware system in the company would enable solve the challenges ABC staff were undergoing with the old hardware. The company programs and other activities would run very smoothly with the newly deployed hardware in place (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017).
Goal
The main goal of the new hardware deployment is to ensure ABC company and their staffs easily get operations executed with advance technological appliances. All its software and hardware are compatible and easy work.
Objectives
· To deploy the most current hardware system to ABC company
· Ensure compatibility between the current software and the newly deployed hardware.
· To provide all ABC Company staffs access the newly deployed hardware system.
· Improve the overall functionality and efficient program progress of ABC Company by hardware deployment.
· Decommission the already existing hardware system.
Success Criteria
· The new hardware is deployed, and all old hardware decommissioned.
· All ABC staff can efficiently work and increase the productivity of the company.
· The new hardware system becomes very reliable and efficient for use by the ABC Company.
· The efficient flow of work is once again assured by the newly deployed hardware (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017).
Assumptions/Risks/Obstacles.
· A brief training on ABC staff would be carried out for acquaintance with the newly deployed hardware.
· An assumption is that it would take a little longer time for the new hardware to be fully deployed and the staff to get used to it.
· Absenteeism by any staff during the training on the use of the new hardware would be very risky.
· Availability of knowledgeable staff on matters deployment of new hardware would create a major obstacle during the actual deployment (Burgess, 2018).

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Handoff Documentation
This project took place over a 6-week period. Over the course of the project the
group members refurbished several computers, with the goal of completing 30
PC’s in the project period.
Each group member worked on PC’s one day each week, over the course of 6
weeks. Results are displayed below.
**** See appendix for full resolution PDF
To improve this project, we created a PC evaluation sheet which helped us keep
track of the components to replace and helped the sponsor keep track of PC’s
completed. Example below.

Conclusion and Reflection
Internal assessment of the project
Over the course of the project, we consistently tracked our progress and in the
end, our project was undoubtedly a success. In our project charter we had the
task of refurbishing 30 computers through an organization called Lutheran Social
Services of North Florida (LSS), over the course of six weeks. In the six weeks of
our project duration, we refurbished a total of 69 PC’s, clearly surpassing our
goal. During our project, we worked on computers at LSS on Saturday mornings.
There we would perform diagnostics and troubleshooting in order to get donated
PC’s refurbished and working again.
One factor that helped our refurbish rate and lead to our project success, is the
fact that most of the PC’s we worked on were in salvageable condition. Most of
the machines were quite dusty, and in order to be refurbished, they were first
cleaned with rags and compressed air. Many of these PC’s were donated by
several entities throughout the local community (local high schools, office
spaces, state government facilities). In many cases, the PC’s needed simple
additions such as replacement DIMM modules and/or a new hard drive. Our
project sponsor Peter Ott (informed us to address him as Peter), was a great
resource for our project. If any of our group members needed help or assistance
he was consistently available. The fact that we had an involved project sponsor
improved our success as well. Without Peter’s guidance, we may not have
surpassed, our even met our goal of 30 refurbished computers.
Another factor that helped our group succeed on project was excellent
communication, teamwork, and planning due to a well-devised communications
plan. This project required a lot of fieldwork and because of this, organization
was very important.
Discussion of the success/failure of the project and why
Some difficulties that we came across were compatibility and supply issues.
Some computers were rather picky about the replacement DVD drives or the
type of RAM that was installed. This problem slowed production, as some
computers would take up to 4 attempts to install a fully functional DVD drive. The
sponsor’s supply of hard drives decreased overtime, which inhibited our ability to
18. fully refurbish computers. This issue increased the amount of queued computers
and the sponsor would simply replace the single part that was missing.
At the beginning of this project, we had hoped to start sooner than we planned.
Due to the sponsors absence we were delayed one week. This delay pushed
back our initial training and the start of our project. This is a moot point because
we surpassed our project goal, within 3 weeks of our project start.
18
Deviations from the plan and why
One deviation that we encountered during the project was individual member
unavailability. Due to varying schedules it was difficult for the entire group to
have one workday. To resolve this issue, members that were unable to meet on
Saturday would coordinate an alternative time with Peter, which did not affect
production.
What you would do differently
If our group were to work with Peter again, we would make it an initiative to
spend a day organizing supplies and workbenches for a more efficient work area.
In closing, this project was a great way to gain hands on experience with PC
hardware and to assist the community simultaneously. In IT we often only focus
on the private sector and government jobs, however, we often overlook non-profit
organizations and the services that they provide. IT can impact these services in
several ways and managing how these services are produced can be done
effectively through project management.
