Growing State University (GSU) is planning to change from its batch-oriented grade reporting system (BGRS) to a new, online grade reporting system (OGRS). The partial organization chart for GSU appears in TB Figure 17.1. TB Figure TB 17.2 shows three possible system implementation approaches.
?
Required:
Demonstrate your understanding of the three approaches in TB Figure 17.2 by constructing an example from the GSU scenario to explain (in one paragraph for each) how each approach might be applied at GSU. Be specific as to which of GSU's organizational units would convert to OGRS and when. Assume that time X in TB Figure 17.2 is the start of the 20X8 fall semester. Make and state any other assumptions you feel are necessary.
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
For the fall semester, 20X8, section 001 of AIS only reports grades on both the old (BGRS) and new (OGRS) systems. Sections 002 through 005 continue to use BGRS as before. The output results for section 001 under both the old and new systems are compared and, if satisfactory, BGRS is abandoned and OGRS is adopted for section 001, effective with the spring 20X9 semester. Also in spring 20X9, section 002 (perhaps all other AIS sections) runs BGRS and OGRS in parallel. If the results for 002 are also satisfactory, it switches to OGRS in summer 20X9 and so on.
