I Create Simple Web Pages Have the textbook Appendix D handy for technical help in completing this exercise and review the web walkthru video.
  1. (10 points) Create a web page using Word.
    1. Follow the guidance in the App D-5 to create a page containing a paragraph of text describing your experience to date developing web pages. If you save this document as html  in your campus Z:\www folder with the name webdevexp.htm it will now be accessible (to anyone) via the internet at http://jaguar.aug.edu/{StuID}/webdevexp.htm where {StuID} is replaced by your login. Save your file and submit through your MIS lab
  2. (10 points) Create a realistic web page. Follow the guidance in section App D-8 to create a site using Microsoft Expression Web (this is available on Hull lab computers or you can download this product from our MSDNAA page) but include the following adjustments:
    1. Make the page about you (your title is MIS Student);
    2. Include a picture either using one you have or one you find somewhere on the web;
    3. Instead of a link to The Author's Official Web Site include a link to MINF3650 Course Site (where the url is http://hull.aug.edu/bschmidt/MISWEBSITE/MINF3650-homepage;
    4. Keep the link to the MIS lab we used this term.
    5. Instead of a link to The Handbook of Information Technology include a link to a book you like on amazon.com;
    6. Instead of a link to The Author's Resume include a link named My Web Dev Experience which links to the webdevexp.htm from exercise above;
    7. If you save this web page as html  in your campus Z:\www folder with the name default.htm it will now be accessible (to anyone) via the internet at http://jaguar.aug.edu/{StuID}/ where {StuID} is replaced by your login. Save your file and submit through your MIS lab.

II (5 pts) OSI Model Review background materials OSI Model, Wikepedia's OSI Article, and the video OSI Model: Using Open Systems Interconnection to Send and Receive Data.

Using a common communications situation (e.g., a web browsing session or a cell phone call or even something non-electronic like talking to a pet or knocking on a door) as an example, illustrate what is occurring at four levels (you choose the levels) of Open Systems Interconnection Model during the communications. This should be a simple document of a few sentences. Save as a word document and submit through your MIS lab.

III (5 pts) Suppose we want to set up a PayPal account so we can receive money online (e.g., for TeleCloud). What would we need to do? How much would it cost (getting started, for each transaction)? This should be a simple document of a few sentences. Save as a word document and submit through your MIS lab. Hint: Use a web search or nose around the PayPal site ... they make this easy to find!
