Assignment 1

Information Technology for the Workplace

Due Date: Monday 18/03/2024 9:00 pm

This assignment will be marked out of 100 marks and is worth 15% of the overall mark for the unit. Please check the unit outline for late penalties. This assignment is an individual assignment and is   not a group assignment. All work must be completed individually.

Please note that the screenshots included in this assignment specification may include previous years and dates. All dates in the text, and in the files provided in the data zip file, should be correct.

Submission

All submissions need to be electronic submissions through Canvas before the due date. You can submit multiple times, however only the latest version submitted on Canvas at the time of marking will be marked. Please note that you are able to submit after the due date has passed even if you have previous on-time submissions – this is to allow all students to submit late as per university policy.

Submission is to be one single zip file with a filename in the following format:

ITW-2024-S1-A1-YOURSTUDENTID.zip

Replacing YOURSTUDENTID with your student ID number.

This makes it easy for your marker to identify your submission once it has been downloaded from Canvas.

Which contains the following files:

1.    P1-YOURSTUDENTID-PaymentRequests.docx

2.    P1-YOURSTUDENTID-MailMerge.txt

3.    P1-YOURSTUDENTID-CanberraReport.docx

4.    P2-YOURSTUDENTID-SalesReports.xslx

As with the zip file name, replace YOURSTUDENTID with your student ID number. For example,a student with a Student ID of u123456 would submit a file named:

ITW-2024-S1-A1-u123456.zip

Which contains the following files:

1.    P1-u123456-PaymentRequests.docx

2.    P1-u123456-MailMerge.txt

3.    P1-u123456- CanberraReport.docx

4.    P2-u123456-SalesReports.xslx

Creating a zip file

The following instructions describe one way to create a zip file in Microsoft Windows. This has also been demonstrated in Lecture 2.

1.    Place all of your submission files into a single folder

2.    Right-click on the folder and select “Send to” and then “Compressed (zipped) folder” as shown in the screenshot below:

This will create a new Compressed (zipped) folder – as shown in the ‘Type’ column – which you can rename if required, and will contain a compressed copy of the folder you selected.

Part 1 - Document Editing (50 marks)

The exercises in Lab 1 – Document Editing will provide good practice for this part of the assignment.

This part of the assignment places you in the role of a tourist guide in Canberra. In this role, you are responsible for preparing and finalisinga short report about Canberra that will be sent to tourists interested in visiting Canberra.

For this part of the assignment, you will need the following files available in the P1Data in the Assignment1Data.zip file that is available for download from Canvas:

1.    P1-ReportContent.docx

2.    P1-MailMerge.xlsx

3.    P1-Baptist Church.png

4.    P1-Blundells' Cottage.png

You will produce the following files which will contain your work for this part of the assignment and be part of the zip file which you will submit on Canvas (with YOURSTUDENTID replaced with your student ID number):

1.    P1-YOURSTUDENTID-CanberraReport.docx

2.    P1-YOURSTUDENTID-MailMerge.txt

3.    P1-YOURSTUDENTID-PaymentRequests.docx

Instructions

1.    Open P1-ReportContent.docx using Microsoft Word. Use ‘Save As’ to save a copy of this file as P1-YOURSTUDENTID-CanberraReport.docx (replacing YOURSTUDENTID with your student ID number). Make sure you save your work regularly to avoid losing any progress!   The text that was present in P1-ReportContent.docx is the content of the report you will be preparing for this part of the assignment.

2.   Turn on track changes. Ensure that the track changes option is on while you are working on this part of the assignment. Do not accept any of the changes you make while you work on  this document – all of the changes made for this assignment should be recorded using the track changes feature.

3.    Choose a theme and style for the document other than the default.

4.    Create a cover page for the report which satisfies the following requirements:

number on the right. Note that the cover page does not count for numbering nor for the

odd/even formatting. Therefore, the page where the table of contents starts on (which
