An example of a research article I found helpful in my nursing practice was “Impact of Information and Communication Technologies on Nursing Care.” The journal article clearly illustrates the positive influence of information technology in health care delivery and the role of nurses in attaining improved service delivery in information management, decision making, and communication (Rouleau et al., 2017). Reading the article increased my understanding of the role of information technology in nursing practice. Additionally, I have encountered literature that had irrelevant information about the nursing practice because it has incomplete information. The research article did not exhaustively discuss the subject in question. My search was based on the importance of the art of nursing in the nursing practice, but most of the information provided in the investigation did not touch on the subject’s importance to the nursing practice. This area requires extensive research to be conducted as the articles such as Lopyola and Oliveira’s (2021) research article do not illustrate the importance of the art of nursing to the nursing practice as a whole.

You are a consultant hired to provide guidance for a family-owned small sized accounting and financial consulting service business with their employees based in Vancouver, B.C.  The organization earns revenue through providing a range of accounting and consulting services to customers British Columbia.  The organization structure is hierarchical in nature. The CEO makes all the major decisions but looks to the staff for their buy-in and recommendations.

Although very successful in delivering the service to clients, much of the work is done using little digital technology.  For example, accounting is very much paper based with rooms full of boxes of invoices and other accounting documents.

The CEO of the company has heard about the digital transformation and wonders what that would look like for the company.  Unfortunately, the CEO knows little to nothing about what digital transformation means.  If the CEO likes the idea, you might get hired to create a plan and execute a digital transformation for the business.

Another assumption is that the organization’s human resource practices and approaches will also be affected by the proposed digital transformation. Digitalizing the company’s HR will alter everything employees know about their work, including the nature of their work, career structure, knowledge, skills required to perform their job, and expectations (Verlinden, 2020). The proposed HR digital transformation will create an all-in attitude, which extends beyond automation and provides enhanced business agility, intelligent services, and skills associated with a diverse workforce (Verlinden, 2020). For this HR digital transformation to succeed, the metamorphosis must involve the entire company (Verlinden, 2020). As such, all the company’s stakeholders will require a clear goal and buy-in.

Data warehouse architecture

/in /by

This assignment is a three- part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper. Be sure to include at least one UC library source per prompt, in addition to your textbook (which means you’ll have at least 4 sources cited).

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Data Warehouse Architecture” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of a data warehouse architecture, including the various forms of data transformations needed to prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own words current key trends in data warehousing.

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (2-3 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology?

Prompt 3 “Green Computing” (2-3 pages): One of our topics in Chapter 13 surrounds IT Green Computing. The need for green computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches, and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make their data centers “green”. In your discussion, find an example of an organization that has already implemented IT green computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and share your link. You can find examples in the UC Library.

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section.

The paper needs to be approximately 7-10 pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of 9-12 pages). Be sure to use proper APA formatting and citations to avoid plagiarism.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately seven to ten pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.
  • Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
  • Support your answers with the readings from the course, the course textbook, and at least three scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find supplemental resources.
  • Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Requirements: 10 page

A data warehouse’s architecture is complicated, considering it is an information system containing commutative and historical information from numerous sources. It is often based on an RDBMS server and surrounded by vital components, making the environment accessible, functional, and manageable (Nadikattu, 2019). A data warehouse architecture is comprised of six components. The first one is the data warehouse database. This component serves as the foundation of the data warehousing environment (Nadikattu, 2019). It is installed based on the organization’s RDBMS technology (Nadikattu, 2019). However, this gets constrained because conventional RDBMS systems are optimized for transactional database processing rather than data warehousing.

  1. What are the primary types of information used to analyze learners? How do you, or could you, use this information in the systematic planning process for learning and for media selection?
  2. Smaldino et al. explain ten common types of instructional strategies. Which of these do you use most frequently and which less frequently? What instructional purpose (or goals) did you want to achieve? What advantages and limitations have you experienced when integrating each strategy?
  3. Bates describes the SECTIONS model for choosing and using media (and the technology used to support the media) in education. Compare the SECTIONS model with Smaldino et al.’s “Select Resources” step and selection rubric criteria from the ASSURE model. What do you see as limitations and possibilities of each set of criteria from each model for media selection?

Reading and Resources

  1. Readings from Smaldino et. al
  2. Bates Chapters 8 and 9
    Bates, A. W. (2019). Teaching and learning in a digital age: Guidelines for designing, teaching, and learning (2nd ed.). https://pressbooks.bccampus.ca/teachinginadigitalagev2/
  3. Videos: Introduction to instructional media, ASSURE, and instructional systems (you are encouraged to follow the captions and/or the transcripts of the videos)
  4. Web resources

Requirements: 3 paragraph

Answer preview

The ASSURE model explained by Smaldino et al. (2019) informs choosing instructional strategies and resources needed to achieve the desired outcome. Similarly, the SECTIONS model described by Bates et al. (2019) criteria for effective choice of media for teaching and learning. Both ASSURE and SECTIONS inform the need for active decisions making process to integrate the choice into a broader course design. The possibility of using the SECTIONS model is to have a technology that incorporates the diverse interests and needs of the learners. However, this model is complex since it requires an extensive evaluation of each criterion to inform decisions (Bates et al., 2019). The ASSURE model informs the overall planning goals in using technology and media to deliver the desired outcome.

Google search is one of the most commonly used search engines used in the Kingdom Saudi Arabia and is the country’s primary telecommunications service provider. STC has taken advantage of the google search engine to enhance its operations. STC launched a marketing strategy based on the users’ feedback about the 5G network the organization intended to launch (Think with Google, 2021). The queries obtained from users’ interaction with Google Search allowed the organization to tap into the customers’ needs and preferences regarding the new network as it highlighted the need to create awareness of the 5G network and its benefits.
