| Cyber Security | Task 1 You are asked to produce a document which identifies and states the purpose of the main hardware and software elements of a computer system. This should include: CPUs; memory; motherboards; internal disk drives; expansion cards; computer cases; cables; power supplies; cooling devices; ports; external devices; operating systems; device drivers; and applications software. Finally, learners should show how these parts fit and work together a fully functioning computer system. Once you have done this you should consider how physical cyber security issues may effect different pieces of hardware. Use this link to help https://www.guru99.com/potential-security-threats-to-your-computer-systems.html Task 2 You are asked to complete each stage of the Khan Academy Journey into Cryptography ( https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-science/cryptography) |
| Digital Technologies 1 | During your first year of study on the Digital Technologies course you will learn about and create an AR or VR concept. Task 1: You are asked to describe the use of virtual and augmented reality by a wide range of organisations. You should discuss at a wide range of uses for multiple business fields and include examples of where and how they are used. For each example discussed, you should state how it has or will have an impact of society. I.e. In healthcare AR can be used to triage a patient. Thus increasing the success rate at hospitals. The evidence should be presented as a presentation. Task 2: You should complete the Workforce Security Awareness course on immersive labs. |
| Digital Technologies 2 | During your first year on the Digital Technologies course you will also learn about the Internet of Everything and will need to develop and new concept.
