 Design at the component level
Steps, phases of the learning strategy to develop
Understand the basic concepts of design and its components.

Activities to develop
The company whose organization chart corresponds to the attached graph,

is a company that is dedicated to advising, sales and maintenance of

technological products additionally develops office applications and web
applications for its customers.
The company consists of the areas of Accounting, Technology and Creativity,
Human Talent, Production and Marketing and Sales. In each of the areas there
are sub areas of support for the development of each of their processes.
Currently the company works a fairly simple application where there is no backup
of the information stored on the hard drives. The board of directors, when
meeting monthly, requests information from the general manager, who in turn
requests information from the persons in charge of each of the areas.
The board of directors has decided to apply reengineering to its information
system and therefore will support in its small group as engineers to provide the
necessary support in this process. To do this, you must perform:
1. Select one of the following areas and express it in the forum.
a) Accounting.
b) Technology and creativity
c) Human talent.
d) Production.
e) Marketing and sales

2. Build the architectural design for the area as for the company for the new
information system and explain the reasons why it considers that this design
is favorable for the company.

3. Make an architectural context diagram (DCA) specifying:

a) Superior systems
b) Subordinate systems
c) Peer systems
d) Actors.
4. Make the data flow diagram of the company's study area

5. Based on point 4 (Data flow diagram) develop a design component of the area

General guidelines for the collaborative work

In the development of collaborative work by students, some
Planning of key elements are required that lead to a comprehensive,
activities for responsible and effective academic exercise.
the
development For this to be achieved it is necessary that they comply with
of the steps indicated in the document entitled "General
collaborative guidelines of the UNAD curriculum / Aspects of collaborative
work work and teaching accompaniment" (Abadía, Vela, Montero &
Vargas, 2014, p. 16-18):
 1. Recognition of actors: At the beginning of each evaluation
activity, the student will be recognized as an actor of the
group, presenting their strengths and exposing the
communication channels to be effective their interaction.
2. Assignment of roles: Each member of the group will assume
one of the indicated roles, which will perform functionally
during the realization of collaborative work. It is suggested to
rotate roles in each of the activities, thus promoting an integral
formation of all the participants of the group.
3. Planning of the academic activities: The planning of the
activities becomes a key element for the achievement of the
task. The group will carry out an academic work plan for the
development of the activity, based on the analytical reflection
of the activities agenda, the evaluation guide and rubric. They
will perform the required readings acquiring thematic
appropriation.
4. Staging the principles of collaborative work: it is important
to internalize the principles of interaction, growth and
responsible action, to ensure the excellent development of
your learning process and presentation of written products that
correspond to the quality of what is requested in the course.
5. Active participation: a proactive participation with relevant
individual contributions is required for the construction of a
product that accounts for what is requested in the activity
guide.
Each student will choose one of the five roles specified in the
box below and will assume responsibility in a responsible
manner so that the participation in the collaborative work is
relevant, active with assertive communication and achieve the
Roles to construction of the collaborative products requested and within
perform by the the established times.
student in the
collaborative The document "General guidelines of the curriculum in UNAD /
group Aspects of collaborative work and teaching accompaniment"
(ABADIA and others: 2014), p. 11, establishes the following
roles for the accomplishment of the collaborative works of the
course:
a) Compiler
 b) Reviser.
c) Evaluator
d) Deliveries.
e) Alerts.
The roles that are established in the UNAD for collaborative
works are related. It is important to assume it responsibly, but
without leaving your commitment as a student to the
development of the activity.
Compiler: Consolidate the document that is constituted as the
final product of the debate, taking into account that the
contributions of all the participants have been included and
that only the participants who participated in the process are
included. You must inform the person in charge of the alerts to
notify those who did not participate, that they will not be

Deliveries: Alert about the delivery times of the products and
send the document in the stipulated times, using the resources
destined for the shipment, and indicate to the other colleagues
that the delivery has been made.
Alerts: Ensure that the members of the group are notified of
the news in the work and inform the teacher through the forum
of work and the messaging of the course, that the document

What is plagiarism for the UNAD? Plagiarism is defined by the
dictionary of the Royal Academy as the action of "copying in
the substantial works of others, giving them as their own."
Therefore plagiarism is a serious fault: it is the equivalent in
the academic field, to theft. A student who plagiarizes does not
take his education seriously, and does not respect the
intellectual work of others.
There is no small plagiarism. If a student uses any portion of
another person's work, and does not document their source,
they are committing an act of plagiarism. Now, it is evident
that we all have the ideas of others when presenting ours, and
that our knowledge is based on the knowledge of others. But
when we rely on the work of others, academic honesty requires
that we explicitly announce the fact that we are using an
external source, either by means of an appointment or by
means of an annotated paraphrase.
Plagiarism
policy For UNAD, in agreement 029 of December 13, 2013, article 99,
the following are considered as offenses that threaten the
academic order, among others: literal e) "Plagiarism, that is,
present as your own Authorship of all or part of a work, work,
document or invention made by another person. It also implies
the use of citations or missing references, or propose a citad
where there is no coincidence between it and the reference ";
and literal f) "Reproducing, or copying for profit, educational
materials or results of research products, which have
intellectual rights reserved for the University."
The academic sanctions that the student will face are the
following:
a) In the cases of academic fraud demonstrated in the
academic work or respective evaluation, the qualification that
will be imposed will be zero points (0.0) without prejudice of
the corresponding disciplinary sanction.
b) In the cases related to plagiarism demonstrated in the
academic work whatever their nature, the qualification that will
 be imposed will be zero point zero (0.0), without prejudice of
the corresponding disciplinary sanction.
