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 of the software for the information system
of the area you have selected.
3. Among the members of the small group, make a suggested network
architectural design for the entire company.
4. Make an architectural context diagram (DCA) specifying:
a) Superior systems
b) Subordinate systems
c) Peer systems
d) Actors.
5. Make the data flow diagram of the company's study area
6. Based on point 4 (Data flow diagram) develop a design component of the

General guidelines for the collaborative work

In the development of collaborative work by students,
some key elements are required that lead to a
comprehensive, responsible and effective academic
exercise.
For this to be achieved it is necessary that they comply
with the steps indicated in the document entitled "General
Planning of
guidelines of the UNAD curriculum / Aspects of
activities for
collaborative work and teaching accompaniment" (Abadía,
the
Vela, Montero & Vargas, 2014, p. 16-18):
development
of 1. Recognition of actors: At the beginning of each
collaborative evaluation activity, the student will be recognized as an
work 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 construction of the
collaborative products requested and within the
established times.
Roles to
perform by The document "General guidelines of the curriculum in
the student in UNAD / Aspects of collaborative work and teaching
the accompaniment" (ABADIA and others: 2014), p. 11,
collaborative establishes the following roles for the accomplishment of
group 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 included in the product to be delivered.
Roles and
responsibility Reviewer: Ensure that the writing complies with the rules
for the for submission of work required by the teacher.
delivery of Evaluator: Ensure that the document contains the criteria
products by present in the rubric. You must inform the person in charge
students of the alerts so that you inform the other members of the
team in case there is an adjustment to be made on the
subject.
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 has been sent.
Use of the APA standard, version 3 in Spanish
(Translation of version 6 in English):
The APA Standards are the most used style of organization
and presentation of information in the area of social
Use of sciences. These are published under a Manual that allows
references you to have access to the ways in which a scientific article
should be presented. You can find the most relevant
aspects of the sixth edition of the APA Standards Manual,
such as references, citations, preparation and presentation
of tables and figures, headings and seriation, among
 others, by going to http://normasapa.net/2017 -edition-6

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.
