I really do not know what it is.Perhaps, i will ask my lecturer on the next class. ^^~ 

wee7: Information system (continuous)

After 1 week for beak, all students feel really cheerful to continue our study. Moreover, i also had time to review what i had not understand about IS. Besides that, on the first class, our lecturer also has repeated some key words of this topic. That was about CBIs; as we know, CBIs ( Computer Based Information system) refer to system that stores information in case we need to retrieve or restore and manipulate the data. And we also have known the components of CBIs are 5: hardware, software, procedure, database and people.
This week, we started to know more about this. Firstly, it was about the role of CBIs. The roles of CBIs are:

• Support competitive advantage.
• Support business decision making.
• Support business operations and processes/

Besides that, we have known about the types of IS. There are:

• Transaction processing system (TPS).
•  Management IS (MIS).
• Decision support system (DSS).
• Executive support system (ESS).
• Expert support system (ES).
• Other is ( office support system, knowledge work system).

However, we just started to study about TPS this week. " TPS records the data from every day operations throughout every division or department in the organization. Each division or department is connected through the TPS to provide useful information to managment levels throughout the company". we also have learnt about the features ans components of TPS.

Now we are waiting for next week to study more about types of IS.

Week6: Mid-exam

I had an mid-exam last week. It really made me stressful. Before that, i thought the exam paper must  be very difficult, that is why i was nervous. I gave my whole mind to study all the task that we have learnt in 5 weeks before. The fact that it was not easy to remember all the concepts. I felt really worried. I tried to wake up in the early morning, because everyone said that it is the best time to commit your studies in memory. I have endeavored that in 3 days before the exam. Finally, i got success. I did the exam well and got 33/40 questions. I am not the one who get the highest mark ,but i also feel very pleased by my endeavor. I hope i can do better in the next exams.

Week5: Information System(IS)

On Thursday, we have been learnt about a new concept. That was Information System(IS). "IS is application of computer based of IT (combination of hardware, software, infrastructure and trained personnel).
We have been introduced about the definition of hardware, software, database, procedure and their role.
They are very difficult to understand and to commit them to memory.

Therefore, i am going to find some other information to make understand clearly about it. 

Week5: IT, ICT

After learning about IM, we continued to Information Technology(IT), Information Communication and Technology(ICT).
I have heard about IT so much before; however i did not really understand about it. In my opinion at that time, i thought that IT and ICT were one, they had the same meaning. But my knowledge was wrong.

1. Information Technology:
   • Miss Nisha has explained and then showed us the definition of IT: it is a term that refer to all forms of technology used to create, store, exchange, and use information.
   • To make us to more understand , she gave us an example: telecommunications product(such as telephones), information kiosks world wide wed sites, multimedia,and office equipment such as copier and fax machines. Temperature control devices, and medical equipment. 
   • And then, we went to know about IT concept. There are IT architecrure and Infastructure.
2. Information communication and Technology:

Actually, ICT is similar to IT, but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This includes the internet, networks, cellphones, and other communication mediums.Usage ICT in daily life: healthcare, education, government, banking, science, business.
At the end of the class, we had an activity. That was that each country had to make a group to present about the uses of ITCs in education, business or government of that country. However, I only had one country-mate in class.  Therefore, i had to join with Somila friends. It was very special. A group come from Asia and Africa. Our topic was about "describe about the uses of ICts in government in your country" . All of us chose my country- VietNam to describe. We found lost of good information on the internet;however, we presented          badly. I think we should practice more to be confident in front of lots of people.
