Objective: To able to describe and identify the components of a computer system. To be able to define the terms used to measure the capacity and speed of a microprocessor, memory, and auxiliary storage.

Learning Outcomes: Describe the main components of a computer system.

Information technology (IT) is a technology which uses computers to gather, process, store, protect, and transfer information.

The computer consists of: hardware – physical computer parts, palpable and visible software – set of commands that are "understandable" to the computer;

instructions to its palpable parts, giving orders what to do

The system unit consists of the following components:

1. Motherboard - MBO a computer "backbone" responsible for communication between components and transmission of information

2. Central Processing Unit - CPU functions: command execution, data transmission, computer function control basic characteristics: • speed (in Mega Hertz (MHz), Giga Hertz (GHz)) • amount of memory (Cache in Bytes)

3. Random Access Memory - RAM a memory container for programs that are currently running and data that is being processed basic characteristics: • speed (in MHz, GHz) • capacity (in Bytes) • data rate class (DDR SDRAM, SDR SDRAM)

4. permanent memory: Hard Disk Drive - HDD - device (memory) used for permanent data storage data is

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 9 of 75

Keyboard

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 10 of 75

A standard keyboard has 102 keys. The keys are divided into alphabetical (a-z), numerical (1-0) and special (Function, Ctrl, Alt, Caps Lock , Tablet keys).There are more special keys above the alphabetical keys; of these the function keys(please see next image) are used for different functions, depending on situation and the program currently being used. The manual for these functions is usually available in the manual for the program.

To the left and right of the function keys, you will find the following additional keys: Esc (Escape), Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Num Lock.The keyboard also has the rarely used keys Print Screen, Scroll Lock and Pause.

Mouse A computer mouse is a pointing device (hand control) that detects two-

dimensional motion relative to a surface. This motion is typically translated into the motion of a pointer on a display, which allows a smooth control of the graphical user interface.

Types of Mouse:1. standard mouse(Mechanical – a type of computer mouse that has a rubber or metal ball on on its underside and it can roll in every direction).2. optical mouse(This type uses a laser for detecting the mouse's movement3. wireless mouse.

Types of Monitor: Cathode Rey Tube(CRT) Liquid Cristal Display(LCD)

Type of printer: Dot matrix printer Inkjet printer Laser printer

Notebook computerAn extremely lightweight personal computer. Notebook computers typically

weigh less than 6 pounds and are small enough to fit easily in a briefcase. Aside from size and portability, the principal difference between a notebook computer and a personal computer is the display screen. Notebook computers use a variety of techniques, known as flat-panel technologies, to produce a lightweight and non-bulky display screen.

The quality of notebook display screens varies considerably. Many notebook display screens are limited to VGA resolution. Active-matrix screens produce very sharp images, but they do not refresh as rapidly as full-size monitors.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 11 of 75

In terms of computing power, modern notebook computers are nearly equivalent to personal computers. They have the same CPUs, memory capacity, and disk drives. However, all this power in a small package is expensive.

Notebook computers come with battery packs that enable you to run them without plugging them in. However, the batteries need to be recharged every few hours.

Desktop

Windows desktop

  Linux desktop

Depending on the settings and installment, the desktop usually contains the following icons:

a link to the storage folder for your own files (My Documents, Home etc): please note that the folder itself may be located on the net rather than on the computer.

the recycle bin: storage for discarded data. start icons for different programs: you can open programs from these icons.

Please note that you can add your own icons to the desktop. These icons, also known as shortcuts, can be added in Windows 7 by “dragging” the icon you want with the mouse from the source location (e.g. the Start menu) to the desktop.

Icons and shortcutsIn GUIs, icons are used to refer to files, folders, and other items. Icons are

usually managed with the mouse, and the appearance of the icon tells us what kind of icon it is; files and folders, for example, have different dedicated icons (the icons presented here are from Windows 7).

Below, you will see the icons of two Folders; the left-hand one is a local folder, the right-hand one is located on the server. By double-clicking the folder icon, the contents of the folder will open in a new window.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 14 of 75

Projects that you have saved (e.g. a set of slides) are saved as files on your computer. The file content is shown by its icon and name. The following icons show some of the most common file types and their icons.

Programs – or rather, program files – also have their own icons, which are usually individually dedicated. You can start the program by double clicking the program icon. You can see some program icons below.

Programs installed on the computer often create a shortcut icon on the desktop, making it easier to start and find the program.

The shortcut is not the original file, nor a copy of it, but rather a link to a program file located elsewhere. If you remove the shortcut, nothing will happen to the program it is linked to.

You will recognize a shortcut from the arrow symbol in the bottom left corner of the icon (see above). By double-clicking the shortcut, the item linked to it will open up.

Help and Supporting WindowsYou can open the support function in Windows by clicking Help and

Support in the Start menu. Alternatively, you can press the F1 key while you are on the desktop.

Programs delivered with operating systemsThis page will introduce some of the most common programs delivered with

each operating system: Programs for file management Text editors Calculators

Programs for file managementComputer: This program, which you will find in the Start menu (and possibly

on your desktop) allows you to browse files and folders on different storage media.

Windows Explorer: you will find this program from the menus Start /  All programs/Accessories. With the Explorer program, you can move, copy, delete and rename files with the help of a tree view (see left half of image below).

Text editors1.NotePad2.Word Pad

Windows and menusIn most operating systems, the windows of programs and files contain buttons

for the managing of the windows. The following buttons are very similar in the windows of Windows and Linux, etc.

Closes a window or program.

Minimizes the window into the taskbar.

Enlarges the window so that it fills the screen. After enlarging, the same button changes into the normalisation button shown below.

Returns the window to the size it was before enlarging. After normalisation, the button changes into the enlargement button shown above.

The commands of the menus are usually grouped in the following way.Menu Main use of the menu

File Commands for file-handling, e.g. opening, saving and printing.

Managing objects with the mouseIt is fairly easy to manage objects with the mouse. You can carry out the

following functions with the mouse:Function Howto?

Selecting an object by ‘clicking’

Move the cursor to the location you want and click once with the primary mouse button (usually the left-hand one).

Starting an object by ‘double-clicking’

Move the cursor to the location you want and press the primary mouse button twice in quick succession.

Selecting an area by Move the cursor where you want to start painting, press the

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 17 of 75

‘painting’ primary mouse button while you move the mouse over the area you want to select (the selection will change as you move the mouse). Let go of the mouse button when the area you want is painted.

Movingan object Take hold of the object you want with the mouse and move it. Let go of it when it is where you want it.

Managing objects with the keyboardMany actions can be performed faster on the keyboard than by using the

mouse, provided that you learn a few important key combinations. These key combinations are usually the same regardless of the program.

The basis of keyboard shortcuts is usually that you first hold down the Ctrl or Alt key, and then press the first letter of the name of the command. Ctrl + C, for instance, is the shortcut for Copying. Below, you can find three key combinations which will probably be the most useful for you:

 Ctrl + X Cut (the original data is removed from its place)

Ctrl + C Copy (the original data remains in its place)

Ctrl + V PasteThough less well-known, the following commands are very handy:Shift + Home Chooses the data between the cursor and the start of the line.

Shift + End Chooses the data between the cursor and the end of the line.

Ctrl + A Chooses all the text, picture, or other data.

ClipboardThe Clipboard is a temporary storage location for data, which can be used

when moving and copying different kinds of data (objects). When using the clipboard, please keep in mind that its contents vanishes when new data or files are copied to it.  The clipboard will also be emptied when you turn off the computer.

What is Usability?

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 19 of 75

Usability refers to the quality of a user's experience when interacting with products or systems, including websites, software, devices, or applications. Usability is about effectiveness, efficiency and the overall satisfaction of the user.

It is important to realize that usability is not a single, one-dimensional property of a product, system, or user interface. ‘Usability’ is a combination off actors including:

Intuitive design: a nearly effortless understanding of the architecture and navigation of the site

Ease of learning: how fast a user who has never seen the user interface before can accomplish basic tasks

Efficiency of use: How fast an experienced user can accomplish tasks Memorability: after visiting the site, if a user can remember enough to use

it effectively in future visits Error frequency and severity: how often users make errors while using the

system, how serious the errors are, and how users recover from the errors Subjective satisfaction: If the user likes using the system

A user interface is the method by which the user and the computer exchange information and instructions. There are three main types: command-line, menu driven and graphical user interface (GUI).

Command-line interfacesA command-line interface allows the user to interact with the computer by

typing incommands. The computer displays a prompt, the user keys in the command and presses enter or return.

The command line screenIn the early days of personal computers, all PCs used command-line interfaces.

Features of a command-line interface Commands must be typed correctly and in the right order or the command

will not work. Experienced users who know the commands can work very quickly without

having to find their way around menus.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 20 of 75

An advantage of command driven programs is that they do not need the memory and processing power of the latest computer and will often run on lower spec machines.

Command driven programs do not need to run in Windows. A command-line interface can run many programs, for example a batch file

could launch half a dozen programs to do its task. An inexperienced user can sometimes find a command driven program

difficult to use because of the number of commands that have to be learnt.An example of a common command driven interface is MS-DOS. The MS-

DOS command to display all files on c:\ would be: dir c:\

Menu driven interfacesSimple menu

The user is offered a simple menu from which to choose an option. One menu often leads to a further menu. Part of the screen may have an instruction followed by a numbered list of options to choose from.

Full screen menuA full screen menu takes up the entire screen.

Menubar

The drop-down menu when file is clickedA menu bar is the set of options at the top of the screen. When an option is

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 21 of 75

chosen a drop-down menu may be offered.Features of menu driven interfaces include: They are easy to use as the user does not have to remember sets of

commands. They are user friendly - you can often guess your way around the options. They can be irritating if there are too many levels of menus to move around -

with a command-line interface you can go to the option required immediately

Physical and mental characteristics of the userA user is a person who uses a computer or network service. Users generally

use a system or a software product without the technical expertise required to fully understand it. Power users use advanced features of programs, though they are not necessarily capable of computer programming and system administration.

A user often has a user account and is identified to the system by a username (or user name). Other terms for username include login name, screen name (or screen name), nickname (or nick) and handle, which is derived from the identical Citizen's Band radio term.

Some software products provide services to other systems and have no direct end users.

The following outlines the typical phases of the user interface development process:

Designing Functional requirements – Determine the initial requirements and goals for

the application. User analysis – Identify the user scenarios and understand the needs and

expectations of users for each scenario. Conceptual design – Model the underlying business that the application must

support. Logical design – Design the process and information flow of the application. Physical design – Decide how the logical design will be implemented on

specific physical platforms.Implementing Prototype – Develop paper or interactive screen mockups that focus on the

interface and don't include distracting visual design elements. Construct – Build the application and prepare for design change requests.Testing Usability testing – Test the application with various users and scenarios. Accessibility testing – Test the application with accessible technologies and

automated test tools.

Practical work № 5. Databases

Objective:• Understand that one of the advantages of a computer-based database is the ability to search for data quickly.• Know what data types are. • Be able to choose the correct data types for specific items of data.

Learning Outcomes:• Understand how to set up a database by using fields, data types and validation rules.• Know how to import data into a database.• Be able to create a database from scratch by following a list of instructions.

DEFINITION: A database is a collection of data or information which is held together in an organised or logical way.The Microsoft Access Database is made up of 7 major components:

• Tables;• Relationships;• Queries;• Forms;• Reports;• Macros;• Modules.

TablesDatabases store data or information in tables, just like the one below:

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 24 of 75

The table allows you to see all of the records stored in the database.

RecordsAs you saw previously, each table can store a great deal of data.Each table contains a lot of records.

 DEFINITION: A record is all of the data or information about one person or one thing.

In the table below, all of the information about each cartoon character is stored in a 'row' or 'record'.

1. What information could you find in the record for Cat Woman?2. What records do you think are stored on the database at your school?3. How about your school library - what records would be stored on their

database? FieldsEach table contains a lot of records.A record is made up of lots of individual pieces of information. Look at

Wonder Woman's record: it stores her first name, last name, address, city and age.Each of these individual pieces of information in a record is called a 'field'.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 25 of 75

DEFINITION: a 'field' is one piece of data or information about a person or thing.

 

1. What fields can you find about Tweety Bird?2. What fields do you think would be stored in your student record in the

school database?3. What fields would be stored in a book record in the school library database? Data TypesWhen you are about to set up a database, you need to think about the 'data type'

which you will use for each field.The most common data types are:

Data Type Examples

Alphanumeric or TextThis allows you to type in text,

numbers and symbols

Forename: JamesSurname: SmithAddress: 73, High StreetPostcode: CV34 5TRCar Registration: EP06 5TVTelephoneNumber: 01926

123456* 

NumberThis allows a whole number or

a decimal numberOnly numbers can be entered,

no letters or symbols

1521.35

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 26 of 75

Data Type Examples

CurrencyThis automatically formats the

data to have a £ or $ or Euro symbol in front of the data and also ensures there are two decimal places.

£5.75$54.99

Date/TimeThis restricts data entry to 1-31

for day (28 or 30 in appropriate months) and 1-12 for month.

It checks that a date can actually exist, for example, it would not allow 31/02/06 to be entered.

It formats the data into long, medium or short date/time

Long Date: 20 February 2006Medium Date: 20-Feb-06Short Date: 20/02/06Long Time: 18:21:35Medium Time: 06:21 PMShortTime: 18:21

Auto numberThis data type will

automatically increase by 1 as records are added to the database

Record 1: 1Record 2: 2Record 3: 3

Logical, Boolean, Yes/NoThis datatype is often referred

to as different things, you may hear it called 'logical', or 'boolean' or 'yes/no'.

All it means is that the data is restricted to one of only two choices

Yes/NoMale/FemaleHot/ColdOn/Off

* You would think that 'telephone number' should be a 'number' data type. However all telephone numbers start with a 0 and you can't put a 0 in front of a 'number' data type, so telephone number needs to be set as a 'text' data type.

 Here is a database table with the different data types set up for you to see:

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 27 of 75

Field LengthOnce you have chosen your data types, you need to think about the best 'field

length' for each field.

Most databases will have a default field length set up, in this case it is 50.This means that each text field is able to store up to 50 letters, numbers or

symbols.In some situations, you may need to use all 50, but think about forenames.

How long is the longest one you can think of? Probably around 12. What about surname? Even a double-barrel surname is unlikely to need more than 20 letters.

The reason that you shouldn't just leave the field length as the default number is because every single character space allowed takes up one byte of storage space in the database, so a field size of 50 would need 50 bytes of storage. On its own, that doesn't sound a lot, but multiply that by all of the fields in the database and then by every single record being stored and you could soon have a large and unwieldy database that becomes a bit slow and sluggish.

What field size do you think would be sensible for the following: Postcode? Telephonenumber? Carregistrationnumber? Town?

County?

Primary KeyTherefore, it is important that every single record in a database has something

to uniquely identify it and this is called the 'Primary Key' or sometimes the 'Key Field'.

Foreign KeyDEFINITION: A foreign key is used to link tables together and create a

relationship. It is a field in one table that is linked to the primary key in another table. 

 

Referential integrityEvery foreign key value has a matching value in the corresponding primary

key. Referential integrity uses these to ensure that there are no orphan records i.e. it

prevents you from deleting related records.Referential integrity can also alert you if you try to delete a record which is

related to another one.It can also be used to cascade changes made to the database.

 

QueriesAre the means of manipulating the data to display in a form or a report. Queries

can sort, calculate, group, filter, join tables, update data, delete data, etc. Their power

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 29 of 75

is immense. The Microsoft® Access database query language is SQL (Structured Query Language). The need to know SQL is not required in the early stages of learning Access. Microsoft® Access writes the SQL for you, after you tell it what you want, in the Design view of the queries window.

FormsForms are the primary interface through which the users of the database enter

data. The person who enters the data will interact with forms regularly. The programmer can set the forms to show only the data required. By using queries, properties, macros and VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the ability to add, edit and delete data can also be set. Forms can be set up and developed to reflect the use they will be required for.

ReportsReports are the results of the manipulation of the data you have entered into the

database. Unlike forms, they cannot be edited. Reports are intended to be used to output data to another device or application, i.e. printer, fax, Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel.

MacrosMacros are an automatic way for Access to carry out a series of actions for the

database. Access gives you a selection of actions that are carried out in the order you enter. Macros can open forms; run queries, change values of a field, run other Macros, etc. the list is almost endless.

ModulesModules are the basis of the programming language that supports Microsoft®

Access, The module window is where you can write and store Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Advanced users of Microsoft® Access tend to use VBA instead of Macros. If you would like to learn VBA, I have a simple step by step lessons.

Learning Outcomes:• Words associated with spreadsheets• How to use basic formulae to perform calculations• How to use more complex functions.• How to use these formulae and functions to create a spreadsheet model (predict results).

What is a spreadsheet?A spreadsheet is a piece of software which is used to work out calculations.But if you learn a little bit about spreadsheets and have a play with them, you

will soon find out that they can do a whole lot more than simply add up a column of numbers.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 31 of 75

Spreadsheets can handle all of the financial calculations for a large business, they can be used to work with statistics and to calculate probability or other statistical information, they can do complex trigonometry. Not only that, they can also make pretty snazzy graphs and charts that you can use to impress people.

Spreadsheets can also be used as a simple flat-file database.

Parts of a spreadsheetYou need to know the names of some parts of a spreadsheet although you

probably are already familiar with most of them.Have a go at the activity below. Check that you can recognise different parts of

a spreadsheet.Make sure that you can explain the different terms e.g. 'value', 'cell'

 

Worksheet – Page of spreadsheet you are working on

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 32 of 75

Row – Cells that go across the spreadsheet pageColumn – Cells that go down the spreadsheet pageCell – An individual spreadsheet box where you enter dataCell Reference – Names of individual cells (A5 for example)Active Cell – The individual cell you are currently usingLabel – Text used to describe certain valuesValue – Numbers entered in individual cellsFormula – Used to calculate numbers.

FormulaeA formula is used to do every single calculation in the spreadsheet.A formula can be as simple as adding up two numbers in different cells or it

can be as complex as working out a statistical result from millions of pieces of data collected over months.

The reason that formulae are so important is that once you have set them up, they will track any changes that you make in the spreadsheet.

FunctionsA function does a very specific job within a spreadsheet. For example, SUM

will add up a set of numbers for you. AVERAGE is another common one which will give you the average of a set of numbers.

There are hundreds of functions available for you to make use of within a spreadsheet package. Some are going to be useful to you now, some you will probably never use.

All of these functions can be combined in a formula, for example =SUM(A1:A5) is a formula which is making use of the SUM function.

Function Example Description

SUM =SUM(A1:A100) Finds the sum of cells A1 through A100

AVERAGE =AVERAGE(B1:B10) Finds the average of cells B1 through B10

MAX =MAX(C1:C100) Returns the highest number from cells C1 through C100

MIN =MIN(D1:D100) Returns the lowest number from cells D1

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 33 of 75

through D100

SQRT =SQRT(D10) Finds the square root of the value in cell D10

TODAY =TODAY() Returns the current date (leave the parentheses empty)

ChartsCharts allow you to present data entered into a worksheet in a visual format,

using a variety of graph types. Before you can make a chart you must first enter data into a worksheet.

Create a ChartTo create a line chart, execute the following steps.1. Select the range A1:D7.2. On the Insert tab, in the Charts group, choose Line, and select Line with

Markers.

If multiple chart types can be used for your data, choose the chart type that will help the user best visualize the patterns and relationships between the data values.

The 4 most popular chart types in Excel are described below, along with the best use of each chart type.

Objective:• security of data• conceptof a firewall• effective security of data

Learning Outcomes:• discuss why e-safety is needed• describe the measures that must be taken in order to protect against hacking• define the term hacking and describe its effects• describe what encryption is and why it is used

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 42 of 75

A hacker is a person who breaks codes and passwords to gain unauthorized entry to computer systems.

Hackers can do an enormous amount of damage if they break into a computer system.

For some people, the challenge of breaking the codes is irresistible and so precautions have to be taken.

Data is often the most valuable resource any business has.  The cost of creating data again from scratch can far outweigh the cost of any hardware or programs lost. 

Loss of data from hacking can have various consequences. It can affect a business It can affect personal data It may compromise data privacy It may damage company reputation

Physically protecting systemsBusinesses can use a range of physical methods to protect their systems and

data.Some of these include: Keeping important computers such as servers or mainframes in locked

rooms Posting security guards Security locks, smart cards Keeping sensitive data on stand-alone machines instead of networksUsing alarm systems and video cameras

Using software to protect systemsA business can also use software to help protect their systems.Some of these methods include: Data encryption - data is 'scrambled' before being transmitted through a

network. Only the authorized recipient has the 'key'. Firewalls - software to block access from outside (and to prevent data

being sent out in some cases) Activity or Audit logs - to track who has been doing what on the system User IDs and PasswordsAccess rights

EncryptionThis is a method of scrambling data in such a way that only the people who

have the 'secret key' to unlock the message can read it.This is an example of ordinary text:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.Humpty Dumpty had a big fall.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 43 of 75

This is what an encrypted code for the text would look like:lj86ik,£lj)ay%9w2+m?lsild171724

You obviously have to keep the "secret keys" safe from prying eyes.

FirewallA firewall is a program or hardware device that filters the information coming

through the Internet connection into your personal computer or into a company's network.

It is set up to allow mainly one way access, i.e. you can go out onto the Internet and access pages, but it checks everything coming back against a set of rules. If the data coming back is from an unauthorized source, then it is blocked.

You may have heard people saying, 'I can't get on that site at school because it's been blocked'; that is the firewall in action.

Anti-virus softwareThis specialized software is used to detect viruses and to limit their damage by

removing them.

The software tries to detect viruses before they can get access to your computer. If a virus is detected trying to get through the firewall, the software will give an alert and ask how you want to respond.

It is usually set up to scan your computer on a regular basis and to check every file being opened before it is allowed to run.

Anti-virus software is normally set up to check online for an update every few days or so because there are so many new viruses appearing every day.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 44 of 75

A computer virus is a software program that is designed to copy itself over and over again and to attach itself to other programs.

As the internet has grown and millions of people are online, so has the development of other types of software pests such as 'Trojan software'

A Trojan is an application that appears to do something useful such as a computer game (which is why you loaded it on to your computer in the first place) but quietly, behind the scenes it is doing something with ill-intent.

Trojan may: Log all your keystrokes and then send the details to a remote computer /

server. Used to capture your passwords Allow someone else to take control of your computer whilst you are online. Capture screen shots and send them to a remote computer, once again with

the intent of obtaining confidential information such as financial screen shots.

WormsThese are a bit like a computer virus but they spread on their own through

computer networks. Their biggest problem is the sheer amount of computer time and bandwidth they soak up, so making the network slow to a crawl.

 Adware / SpywareThese are programs designed to keep track of which adverts you click on and

then they send specific adverts to your browser. Fairly harmless but annoying and hard to get rid of.

User IDs and PasswordsWhen you log onto your network at school, you have to type in your User ID

and Password. This identifies you to the network as an authorized user.

Any sensible company will ensure that staff need a User ID and Password to gain access to the system. This should reduce the risk of outsiders being able to get onto the system and damage data.

People should follow rules when choosing their password:  Passwords should be kept secret at all times

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 45 of 75

Passwords should not be something that is easy to guess such as pet's name or favorite football team.

Passwords should include text and numbers or symbols Passwords should be a reasonable length e.g. over 6 charactersPasswords should be changed regularly LegislationIt is against the law to distribute a virus to others.The law which covers this area is called The Computer Misuse Act (1990). It

also covers various computer crimes such as Hacking, computer fraud as well as the deliberate spread of viruses.

This law specifies a virus as: 'unauthorized modification of the contents of a computer, impairing the operation of any program or reliability of data'.

Anyone caught distributing viruses knowingly faces an unlimited fine and up to a five year prison sentence.

• Be able to use basic HTML to create a simple web page

Learning Outcomes:• Understand what website navigation is and why it is important• Be able to fully hyperlink your website using text based links• Be able to fully hyperlink your website using flash hyperlinks

Types of web sitesWeb sites are usually designed with a specific purpose in mind. These include

E-commerce sites - you visit these to buy something Information sites - such as your favorite news website Entertainment - such as YouTube and the BBC I Player site Business - provides support, documents and software drivers for customers Ideas and opinion sites - such as personal blogs or your own personal site Social networking site - such as someone's Facebook pagePortfolio site - you want to show off your work to a potential employer or

client

Web server and domainIn order to let other people see your web site, it must be placed on a web

server.This is called 'hosting' a web site.Before you can do this, you must choose an URL (Uniform Resource Locator)

for your site, such as www.teach-ict.com. This is called the site's domain name.Domain names are purchased from a domain registrar who has the authority

to sell domains.To type in a complete URL you normally include http:// followed by the

domain.HTTP is the standard protocol for a web page. You can also get HTTPS with

an extra s on the end that indicates it is a secure web page.Each domain name must be unique - you cannot purchase a domain that

someone else already owns. This is because every URL is converted into an unique IP address. For example the web site www.google.com has the IP address 74.125.91.104.

Try typing http://74.125.91.104/ into your web browser and see what you get.Once your site is online, you expect your web hosting company to provide Fast response time - visitors hate waiting for a page to download because of

a slow server. Administration tools such as web statistics so you can see how many visitors

you have and what they are looking at.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 47 of 75

Good upload speeds - your site needs to be upated easily and often, so a good upload speed makes this much easier.

Help - when things go wrong on the server, you want confidence that they will help out.

HTML - the very basics of a web site.A "web site" is made up of one or more web 'pages'.

A web page is created by writing code in a language called HTML.HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It was developed especially

to create web pages.You may be looking at a web page right now and thinking "where is this

HTML" - I can't see it.To see the HTML code of most web pages take these steps:1. View the page in a web browser.2. Right click your mouse over the page text and a small menu will appear

close to the mouse (right clicking over a picture gives you a different menu) Click on the "View Source" in the menu list.

3. A page full of words and symbols will appear in a separate windowThis is the HTML code that makes up the web page you are viewing.

This is what html looks like.All the colored text surrounded by <> are html 'tags'.

Parts of a web page, CSS and JavaScriptAlthough there seems to be an almost infinite variety of web pages. Most good

web pages share some common elements. Quite often these elements and placed on a template page that is then used to design all pages on the site.

If you want to make a change to the site's navigation for example, then altering the template allows the web authoring package to update every page that uses that template.

Every web site has a home page. This is the main page that visitors see when they first visit the site. Of course visitors can go directly to any site page by loading the right URL in their browser, but in general, typing the main domain (such as www.teach-ict.com) will show the home page.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 48 of 75

The picture below shows you the main parts of a typical web page

The BannerThis is an area at the top of the page that is often the same on all the pages of

the web site. It may contain a company logo. It often has a search box located there and sometimes a hot spot to take you back to the home page.

The Menu systemThis area is concerned with providing a method of moving around (navigating)

the site. There are a number of menu styles in common use. These are explained a little later on.

The Content areaThis is where the main content of the web page is located. Content can be in a

number of different forms such as text, pictures, video and Flash movies. Sound can also be embedded in a web page such as background music.

FooterThis area often contains copyright notices, links to terms and conditions and a

privacy statement.Cascading Style SheetsThe text and layout of a web page can be formatted (styled) with 'cascading

style sheet' or CSS. This is text based just like html, but it is made up of a set of styling commands that a web browser understands. For example to make this bit red, we added a bit of CSS to this page that looks like this:

<span class="style1">make this bit red</span>All these commands can be gathered together into a single text file ending with

.css This file is then linked to all the pages on the site. So you only need to change the CSS code in one place to affect the whole site.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 49 of 75

JavaScriptMany web sites want to add some interaction to the page. This is done with

computer code called 'javascript'. For example most web forms have some type of checking going on before it can be sent to the server, such as a 'required' field. Until that form field is filled in, you cannot send the form.

There are whole libraries of javascript code now available that you can easily add to a web page to add extra features. A very popular library is called jQuery.

HyperlinksMost web sites have more than one page. So there has to be a method of

navigating from one page to another.There are three popular methods of navigating, hyperlinks, menus and

hotspots. These are covered in the next three pages.

The HyperlinkWhen you click your mouse on a navigation hyperlink, it will take you to

another page. The page may be on the same web site, but it could just as easily be on another web site altogether.

A hyperlink that takes you to another web site is called an external link Hyperlinks can be mixed in with normal text. A standard hyperlink has a different colour to the text around it in order to give you a clue that it is there, it often has an underline as well.

Hyperlinks are also used to download files and documents

Creating web pages from Office packagesWeb pages are written in HTML. There are a number of ways to create a web

page.This is probably the most straight forward method. You create a page in your

favorite word processing, spreadsheet or presentation package,Then you use File -> Save As -> Web Page as shown here.The application will then create the web page and give it an extension of HTM

or HTML

Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort. 

The diagram below depicts the Cloud Computing stack – it shows three distinct categories within Cloud Computing: Software as a Service, Platform as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service.

• SaaS applications are designed for end-users, delivered over the web • PaaS is the set of tools and services designed to make coding and deploying those

applications quick and efficient• IaaS is the hardware and software that powers it all – servers, storage, networks, operating systems

Cloud computing enables new scenarios for applications requiring scalable, durable, and highly available storage for their data – which is exactly why Microsoft developed Azure Storage. In addition to making it possible for developers to build large-scale applications to support new scenarios, Azure Storage also provides the storage foundation for Azure Virtual Machines, a further testament to its robustness.

Azure storage provides the following four services: Blob storage, Table storage, Queue storage, and File storage.

Blob Storage stores unstructured object data. A blob can be any type of text or binary data, such as a document, media file, or application installer. Blob storage is also referred to as Object storage.

Table Storage stores structured datasets. Table storage is a NoSQL key-attribute data store, which allows for rapid development and fast access to large quantities of data.

Queue Storage provides reliable messaging for workflow processing and for communication between components of cloud services.

File Storage offers shared storage for legacy applications using the standard SMB protocol. Azure virtual machines and cloud services can share file data across application components via mounted shares, and on-premises applications can access file data in a share via the File service REST API.

What is virtualization?In a nutshell, virtualization is software that separates physical infrastructures to

create various dedicated resources. It is the fundamental technology that powers cloud computing. 

"Virtualization software makes it possible to run multiple operating systems and multiple applications on the same server at the same time," said Mike Adams, director of product marketing at VMware, a pioneer in virtualization and cloud software and services. "It enables businesses to reduce IT costs while increasing the efficiency, utilization and flexibility of their existing computer hardware."

The technology behind virtualization is known as a virtual machine monitor (VMM) or virtual manager, which separates compute environments from the actual physical infrastructure.

Mobile technology is the technology used for cellular communication. Mobile code division multiple access (CDMA) technology has evolved rapidly over the past few years. Since the start of this millennium, a standard mobile device has gone from being no more than a simple two-way pager to being a mobile phone, GPS navigation device, an embedded web browser and instant messaging client, and a handheld game console. Many experts argue that the future of computer technology rests in mobile computing with wireless networking. Mobile computing by way of

tablet computers are becoming more popular. Tabletsareavailableonthe 3Gand 4Gnetworks.

Mobile computing is human–computer interaction by which a computer is expected to be transported during normal usage, which allows for transmission of data, voiceandvideo.

Mobile device management (MDM) is an industry term for the administration of mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablet computers, laptops and desktop computers. MDM is usually implemented with the use of a third party product that has management features for particular vendors of mobile devices.

Mobile device management (MDM) is like adding an extra layer of security and ensuring a way to monitor device related activities. MDM provides device platform specific features like device encryption, platform specific policies, SD Card encryption. Geo-location tracking, connectivity profiles (VPN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) and plenty other features are part of MDM Suite.

The wireless technologies used in mobility solutions can generally be classified according to their generation, which largely specifies the type of services and the data transfer speeds of each class of technologies.

When someone wants to explain or illustrate a topic to someone, a very popular way of doing it is to do a 'presentation'.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 55 of 75

It can be anything from presenting a lesson to students about soil erosion in Africa to presenting the company mission statement to a group of new employees.

The traditional way of presenting information to people was to stand at the front of a room armed with a set of notes or prompt cards and to speak clearly and slowly.

With the development of presentation software such as Microsoft PowerPoint it quickly became the 'norm' to use a presentation show to illustrate the information.

Although there are various software applications available to create presentations, this mini-site will focus on PowerPoint since this is the software the majority are familiar with using.

Features of presentation softwareWhat is it about presentation software that has made it such a popular choice?The software is incredibly easy to use. Even a novice can produce a reasonably

good looking presentation with only a few minutes training.

The software comes with a large range of ready prepared templates. The text simply needs to be typed onto the page.

There are also a huge number of professionally designed templates available to purchase fairly cheaply from the Internet.

There are a large selection of different layouts available. Each slide can have a different layout. One slide can have bullet points to the left of an image, another slide can have a main title and bullet points underneath, another one can have a graph or a hierarchy diagram.

   

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 56 of 75

A 'master slide' is available so that you can set up things which you wish to appear on every page such as a footer or page numbers or a title.

You can choose text styles to apply throughout your presentation on the master slide.

   The software comes with many different

animation effects which can be used to add emphasis to presentations.

It also has a large selection of slide transition effects that can be used when changing from one slide to the next.

Using multimedia in presentationsAnother reason why the software is so popular is its ability to let you use

multimedia to enhance your presentation.TextSticking to text allows the speaker to

keep the audiences' attention on them rather than distracting the audience with what is happening on the screen.

The bullet points act as a prompt for what they need to talk about and enable the audience to keep track of what is being covered.

   ImagesAs they say, a picture is worth a

thousand words.Images can add visual impact to a

presentation. They can also help to illustrate the point that you are trying to make.

They help to break up a lot of monotonous text and give the audience something to focus their attention on.

   VideoVideo can be a powerful tool in presentations. It can be used to attract the

audiences' attention or to show them something that could not easily be

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 57 of 75

described just using words.You can use existing footage from company archives, videotape libraries

or personal collections or you can film your own. If you choose to use existing footage, keep in mind that copyright issues may apply.

 SoundSound can be incorporated into a presentation in many different ways.You can have quiet music playing in the background throughout the

presentation. Appropriate music or sounds can be played at a key point in the presentation such as the sound of a cow mooing whilst you are talking about the benefits of dairy farming. Voice narration can be used during the whole presentation or for certain parts.

Sound can add a different dimension to a presentation. However, it is important not to allow the sound to distract the audiences' attention from the main speaker.

Animation and transitions

Animation Effects

Custom animation is often added to a slide show. It can be used to delay the appearance of bullet points on the screen. This can help to keep the audience focused on what is being talked about at that moment rather than letting them read ahead and not listen properly. They can also be used to add dramatic effect or visual interest.

The key to using animation successfully is to pick one or two effects and stick with them throughout the presentation; using too many can beconfusing, can frustrate your audience, and can leave your presentations looking unprofessional.

 Slide Transitions

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 58 of 75

Slide transitions can be set up to govern how you move from one slide to another.

You can set your presentation to be timed so that it moves automatically to another slide after a certain length of time. This effect is used for informative presentations which are just left running for people to view as they walk past.

However, it is difficult to get automatic timing just right, some people read fast, some much more slowly. They can lead to frustration if some are kept waiting for the next slide for too long whilst others find they haven't read everything before the slide switches.

You can set the slide transition to different effects such as 'fade', 'blinds', 'checker box'. This can be set up on every slide so that the transition is consistent throughout the presentation, or it can be set up on particular slides only.

As with custom animation, the rule 'less is more' applies and it is wise to stick to just one effect throughout the presentation.

Action buttons or hyperlinks can also be used on slides to help you navigate through the presentation.

Hyperlinks can also be used to help you access a relevant website.

Practical work № 12. Smart technology

Objective:• basics Smart technology

Learning Outcomes:To explore the possibilities of Smart technology

Short for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology, S.M.A.R.T., or SMART, is a diagnostic method originally developed by IBM and introduced with the ATA-3 specification that at that time referred to as Predictive Failure Analysis. This technology was initially developed for IBM mainframe drives to give advanced warning of drive failures. Based on this diagnostic, Compaq announced IntelliSafe, which was submitted to the ATA/IDE standards committees, and the resulting standard was named S.M.A.R.T.

S.M.A.R.T. analyzes many of the mechanical attributes; over time, some failures can be predicted by detecting if the hard drive is moving out of tolerance. While the S.M.A.R.T. technology can detect upcoming issues, not all hard drive failures are predictable. In the picture below is an example of a S.M.A.R.T error indicating that the status of the Pri Master or Primary hard drive is being detected as bad and that it should be replaced.

Some of the major hard drive manufacturers now including the S.M.A.R.T Technology in their hard drives are IBM, Western Digital, Maxtor, Quantum, Seagate and Fujitsu.

1. What is smart car?It is a cognitive, contextual aware computing system is able to make decisions

without human intervention. Smart machines use machine learning and data drains to perform work traditionally conducted by men. They need to increase efficiency and productivity, and is currently tied as the main component in building a sustainable future.

2. The range of opportunities for sustainable use smart machines are endless ...But like all burgeoning technologies, the limits of resilience within this future

is not yet clear. A lot will be based on where the intellectual technology society. What we know, the smart technology revolution is the first industrial movement that has sustainability at the forefront of its development and it is a good thing.

3. We don't need to kill the forest to save the treeReplacement of manual services with smart technologies are expected to

significantly reduce energy consumption.

4. Whether smart technology makes us stupid?Successful integration of smart technology will see the strengthening of

creative thought. The labor force will need higher skill level , as more and more secular work is distilled. There are fears that due to the automation and technology of the algorithm, the human development can be stunted and lulled into complacency. It is important to know about this threat.

5. They took our jobs! What are the consequences of intelligent machines?The reduction of human labour to the subject of drones is not in anybody's

interests, but it is unlikely that progress will come out from under human control. Desirable attention to intelligent machines, to allow us to be more productive and flexible. With their help, we can make more efficient and sustainable use of our resources.

Rejection Performance is improved as often anxiety whenever smart technologies is engaged in, especially when we look at self-driving vehicles, and other sectors, where human life may be affected directly by intelligent machines. There is an opinion that these systems should be smart enough to work out areas of low performance and to correct themselves. But nothing is failsafe and it would be naive to think that smart technologies will be.

At best, we combine smart technology with the agility of a human decision-making to make sustainable and safe solutions.

7. It comes. Evolve or step asideHate or love it, be ready for smart technology to become much more a part of

your life. It offers unlimited potential to improve our lives and increase the stability from all sides - home, health, production, labor, transport, energy and leisure. But we must also address such issues as it security, skills, and problems in the labour market. At the forefront we need to ensure that intelligent machines will allow devices , not control mechanisms.

Internet of ThingsSo far, the internet has been mainly concerned with people sharing

information. This could be via a web site or a mobile app.But now, 'things' are beginning to connect to the internet as well. For example

a fridge, a boiler, a house security system talking to each other or an online server. This is called 'the internet of things'.

The idea is that these devices communicate amongst themselves without a person being in the loop. The purpose is to make life a bit more convenient for the owner.

Example: intelligent central heating

The system in the house talks to an online server about the house temperature and so on. The online account produces up to date graphs of temperature and energy use and compares it to the 'average' customer. In this way the owner can work out if they are making best use of their energy. All this is done automatically.

To make it even more convenient, the owner can access this information through a mobile app. They can also switch the heating off and on from anywhere through the app.

The futureIt is still early days for the 'internet of things'. One of the issues is that there is

no standardised way for the devices to talk to one other (network protocol). For example, protocols include

'Thread' - supported by Google and an alliance of other companies 'HomeKit' - supported by Apple 'ZigBee' - another alliance 'Z-Wave' - another allianceEventually though - maybe by 2020, expect to see many devices in your home

connecting to the internet and each other.

A social networking service (also social networking site, SNS or social media) is an online platform that is used by people to build social networks or social relations with other people who share similar personal or career interests, activities, backgrounds or real-life connections. 

E-business (electronic business) is the conduct of business processes on the Internet. These electronic business processes include buying and selling products,

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 63 of 75

supplies and services; servicing customers; processing payments; managing production control; collaborating with business partners; sharing information; running automated employee services; recruiting; and more.

Direct SalesDirect sales is an electronic business model that involves selling products

through a website or online marketplace such as eBay. Retail-style shopping websites can be programmed to process orders 24 hours a day without physical sales or service staff. Some retail websites package and ship orders during regular business hours from their own warehouses while others outsource fulfillment to a third party in a drop-shipping arrangement. The retail business model also works well for digital goods such as electronic books or software as fulfillment is provided automatically through a website download.

ServicesService-based electronic business models include freelance writing, research

and fact-checking, website design, video production, customer service, reminder services and virtual assistants. Service-based business models are ideal in an electronic environment because communication can be facilitated through email or instant messaging services, and the services can be rendered through those same mediums or through an electronic work desk on a corporate website.

AdvertisingAdvertising is a flexible electronic business model that can be executed in a

number of ways. Businesses can choose to be an online publisher of free content, for example, and sell advertising space on or within their content similar to what traditional magazines and newspapers do. According to Digital Enterprise, the online publishing model opens up subscription revenue options because companies can charge fees to access some or all of the content they produce. Affiliate marketing is another type of advertising business model frequently used online. Businesses recommend or mention specific products related to their content and if readers purchase products through the links provided, the business earns commissions from each sale.

KnowledgeKnowledge-based electronic business models often involve consulting,

mentoring or teaching through an online website, chat service or email. Some consultants and mentors offer private individual sessions with their clients through email or Internet telephones while others share their knowledge and training through teleconferences or discussion boards. Knowledge-based businesses commonly deliver much of their materials automatically through pre-recorded videos and audios, and written documentation that can be accessed for a fee through a private membership website.

E-learning (Electronic Learning) is an electronic learning system, which is synonymous with terms such as distance learning, learning using computers, online learning, virtual learning, learning through computer and electronic technologies.

An electronic book (or e-book) is a book- or periodical publication made available in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, readable on computers or other electronic devices.

An intelligent tutoring system (ITS) is a computer system that aims to provide immediate and customized instruction or feedback to learners,[1] usually without intervention from a human teacher.

Electronic and digital signatureA digital signature (not to be confused with a digital certificate) is a

mathematical technique used to validate the authenticity and integrity of a message, software or digital document.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 65 of 75

A digital signature can be used with any kind of message -- whether it is encrypted or not -- simply so the receiver can be sure of the sender's identity and that the message arrived intact. Digital signatures make it difficult for the signer to deny having signed something (non-repudiation) -- assuming their private key has not been compromised -- as the digital signature is unique to both the document and the signer, and it binds them together.

Practical work №14. IT in professional sphere. Industrial ICT

Objective: Organizations and ICTICT and schools

Schools used to be fairly low technology places. Everything was paper based and equipment was mainly the blackboard, chalk and a rather battered set of old textbooks.

But with computers and electronic equipment appearing over the last thirty years or so, schools have become major users of ICT.

This has happened in all aspects of school life including Administration Classroom teaching Networking e-Learning Examinations Distance learning and collaboration

This mini-web will describe some of the uses of ICT in schools today.

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 68 of 75

With hundreds of students passing through the school electronic records need to be kept for every student.

The records are kept in a database called a Management Information System (MIS).

In the classroom - whiteboardsThe old blackboard and chalk is long gone from modern schools and in their

place you are more likely to see an interactive whiteboard.

Interactive whiteboards can connect to any digital source such as a computer.The computer can be used to show a lesson or to connect to a web sitePupils can interact with the screen by using a special pen or their hands.However, many teachers do not use interactive whiteboards to their full

capabilities and after a while they are very often used as an expensive 'projector screen'.

 In the classroom - projectorsMost classrooms now have a digital projector.They are commonly mounted onto the ceiling but they can also be free

standing and placed on a trolley or desk.

The projector takes a digital feed from the computer or device to which it is connected and then projects it on to a wall, projector screen or whiteboard.

Projectors enable students to see what is being displayed on the teacher's computer. Using specialist software, teachers can also project images from students' computers in the classroom.

Document camerasSome schools have a document camera.This is more flexible than a standard projector because solid objects can be

placed beneath it.The video camera can take a moving image and show it either through the

interactive whiteboard or the digital projectorThis is very useful for showing the whole class, an item. Perhaps a historic

arrowhead in a history class or a butterfly in a biology class.

Computer roomsThe computer is widely used to teach many subjects as well as ICT itself.Each student may have their own laptop, netbook or laptop for personal use.But in order to teach a whole class, a set of computers are often arranged

together into one classroom. All the class can then take part in the lesson.

courtesy of IICD from The Hague, The Netherlands

A computer network connects them all together, along with access to shared drives, files servers, printers and the internet.

Of course for a lesson to take place, each computer has access to the right software application perhaps a photo editing suite, a sound editing application or an office suite.

Each student has their own network account so they log on using their username and password.

Work is stored on the school file server.Virtual learning environmentA virtual learning environment or VLE is an online education platform. It is

used as an extension of normal school lessons.A VLE contains many tools to help students learn their subjects.Now, video links are being introduced so that the student can see the lesson as

it happens. They can ask questions and interact with their school mates by radio, email and instant messaging.

The video links are sent over a broadband satellite network that covers over 1.5 million square kilometers of the Australian Outback.

Nearer to home in the UK, distance learning is widely used as well, for both children and adults alike. For example, they can attend a 'webinar' or or a 'webcast', which is a real-time video stream of a lecture over the internet.

Online computer testsEach question is presented on screen along with a set of possible answers

(multi-choice). The student then selects their answer, either by mouse or touch screen.

The advantage of taking an exam this way is that it is very fast to mark and it does not involve a lot of paper which may get lost or damaged.

The disadvantage is that it cannot deal with drawings very easily or with long essay type answers. But for simple tests, it is very quick and easy to set up and mark.

Practical work №15. Perspectives of ICT development

Objective: Perspectives of ICT development

ICT underpins innovation and competitiveness across a broad range of private and public markets and sectors.

The potential and capabilities of modern ICT systems are still growing exponentially fuelled by the progress in electronics, microsystems, networking, the ability to master increasingly complex cyber-physical systems and robots, and progress in data processing and human machine interfaces. These developments provide major opportunities for Europe to develop the next generation of open platforms on top of which a multiplicity of innovative devices, systems and applications can be implemented.

These new solutions will enable a wealth of new business developments in particular for SMEs, and will contribute to boosting competitiveness, creating jobs and supporting growth.

Main features of the Work ProgrammeThe first ICT-Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies

(LEIT) Work Programme under H2020 provides a balanced response to the main challenges faced by Europe in the field: firstly, the need to maintain a strong expertise in key technology value chains; secondly, the necessity to move quicker from research excellence to the market.

It combines a strong support to industrial roadmaps with new mechanisms to encourage disruptive innovation. The former will reinforce medium to long term commitment to industrial strategies and provide continuity and stability. The latter will offer flexibility and openness and will help develop dynamic eco-systems in which innovators can operate. Both strands will require the involvement of new actors, on one hand to exploit and leverage new technologies and on the other to initiate and drive change.

ActivitiesSix main activity lines have been identified in the ICT-LEIT part of the Work

Programme:1.A new generation of components and systems2.Advanced Computing3.Future Internet4.Content technologies and information management5.Robotics6.Micro- and nano-electronic technologies, Photonics

In addition, the Work Programme features several cross-cutting topics

M I 042-18-12.1.1-2016-01 Edition № ___ _______ 20___ г Page 71 of 75

addressing cyber-security, Internet of Things and research on a Human-centric Digital Age. All activities are complemented with support to innovation and take-up, international cooperation and a dedicated action for SMEs to propose bottom-up innovative ideas, using the SME instrument.

Content Technologies and Information Management

Developments related to content creation, distribution, access, retrieval and interaction offer a number of opportunities and challenges for the media and creative industries.

The demand is growing for high-quality content and new user experiences, with some specific trends in the society and businesses:

media convergence, social media, widespread use of mobile devices, broadband internet penetration, increasing computing power, the consumption of content anywhere, anytime and on any device.The economic performance of the cultural and creative sectors in the EU

account for 3.3% of GDP and employ 6.7 million people (3 % of total employment). Figures are also important if one considers fashion and high-end industries, which account for 3% of the EU GDP each and employ respectively 5 and 1 million people. Between 2008 and 2011, employment in the cultural and creative sectors showed growth rates, varying however between subsectors. Some sectors have a high percentage of youth employment (figures extracted from a Commission Communication from 2012).

Research and Innovation activities will provide professionals and citizens with new tools to model, analyse, and visualise vast amounts of data from which to extract more value, to make an intelligent use of data coming from different sources and to create, access, exploit, and re-use all forms of digital content in any language on any device. This opens new possibilities for personalisation, accessibility and inclusion.
