AssignmentDescriptionMy Workd
Site Visit ReportYou are required to conduct a site visit to a facility that helps you understand the topics we have explored. This site visit is intended to ensure that you understand the processes/procedures that exist in the facility and the role that innovative information technology plays within the organization. The ethical compliance and detailed assignment requirements are available in the course Canvas Assignment section. You might need to schedule your visit two or three weeks earlier.site_visit_report
Case Study AnalysisYou are required to analyze a case study of a selected informatics application tool. The evaluation criteria include usability, accessibility, ease of use, and usefulness. The advantages and disadvantages of the system will be analyzed from the perspective of end users. You will suggest how the system could be improved to maximize the intended outcomes. More details are posted in the course Canvas Assignment section.case_study_analysis
Final Project Presentation You are required to explore an informatics topic or issue of your choosing in greater depth. In consultation with your instructor, you will identify a current informatics issue/challenge and present an original proposal focusing on potential solutions. As part of the exercise, you are required to deliver the project as a video presentation. See the detailed instruction on Canvas. final_project_presentation

xxThe Classification of Instructural Programs (CIP) describes Informatics as: “A program that focuses on computer systems from a user-centered perspective and studies the structure, behavior and interactions of natural and artificial systems that store, process and communicate information. Includes instruction in information sciences, human computer interaction, information system analysis and design, telecommunications structure and information architecture and management” (para. 1).

xxUniversity of Edinburgh defines informatics as: “On an article by the University of Edinburgh titled “What is Informatics”, Informatics is defined as follows: “Informatics studies the representation, processing, and communication of information in natural and engineered systems. It has computational, cognitive and social aspects. The central notion is the transformation of information–whether by computation or communication, whether by organisms or artifacts.
