Q1. a)
I recommend Lily a microphone as input device. This is because a
microphone can capture sound and complete the process of voice input
and audio input. Lily can take her attendance when attending her
18 online classes or discuss with group members when doing her
MARKS assignment.

I recommend Lily a monitor as output device. Lily can use it to view

the screen presented by her lecturer and study with it. Monitor can
display the notes that she need to study and also display her
assignment.

I recommend Lily a wireless modem as communication device. A

wireless modem is used to send emails, text, photos, videos to the
internet. It enables a computer to send and receive data, instructions
and information to and from another computer. Lily will need it to
enter the google classroom and google meet to attend her class. She
also need it to submit her assignment.

Q1. b)
Wireless Local Area Networks ( WLAN ) is a network that connects
computers and devices in a limited geographical area such as home.
6 Lily can study in her home using a LAN. A wireless LAN ( WLAN ) is
MARKS a LAN that uses no physical wire. She can bring her mobile device or
computer connecting to the WLAN anywhere she wants in the house as
there is no physical wire. Means that she can get her assignments done
everywhere in the house. Computers and devices that access a wireless
LAN must have built-in wireless capability or the appropriate wireless
network card, USB adapter or other wireless device.

Q1. c)
The three limitations that Lily might encounter during the
implementation of online learning includes connectivity and service
interruption. This connectivity cannot be 100% reliable. There are
server downtimes, weather issues causing disruptions to wireless
broadband access, speed hiccups and other often unavoidable
18 circumstances when we just cannot get data access, even temporarily.
MARKS Thus there is always a risk of not being able to access online data due
to connectivity issues, making online storage unreliable to a certain
extent. Lily might cannot attend the online classes when accessing to
the online learning platform.

Next, sharing restrictions. A wireless local area network (WLAN) links

two or more devices using some wireless distribution method and
usually providing a connection through an access point to the wider
Internet. This gives users the mobility to move around within a local
coverage area and still be connected to the network. She might need to
stay at a place that her computer can connect Wi-Fi until her class is
finish.

Last, size limit. The notes given by lecturer might be too big for her
AMIT1713 IT FUNDAMENTALS AND APPLICATIONS

computer to access. She might need to download another software in

order to access to her lecture notes and some software are charged
monthly or yearly, this might increase her cost of learning online.

Q1. d)
Yes. She needs a cloud storage. It allows users to upload files that
could then be accessed over the Internet from a different computer,
tablet, smart phone or other networked device, by the same user or
8 possibly by other users, after a password or other authentication is
MARKS provided. Means that Lily can directly access her documents or files
through cloud storage when her laptop or mobile device face problem
example lagging or broke down as the cloud storage can’t easily been
damaged or destroyed.

A cloud storage may also store many files for her studies example
assignments and lecture notes. Means that Lily can store information
and document without taking the storage spaces in her computer or
mobile device.
