examine an emerging technology in an area of your interest or relevant to your profession.
You will examine an emerging technology in an area of your interest or relevant to your profession.The submission will take the form of a one-page summary in a graphical format as donein Infographics. This is an individual assignment.
Choice of Emerging Technology
Technology can be interpreted as new emerging technologies (e.g. augmented reality) or can be newtechniques (e.g. gamification) or can be new concepts (e.g. crowdsourcing, digital dexterity, citizendata scientist) or can even be new ways of doing old things (e.g. selling products in Facebook). Youcan either choose a specific tool such as 3D printing or a generic concept (e.g. citizen data scientist)as technology to examine in detail. Your chosen technology cannot be a critique of an industry as awhole or a pioneering technology company. Examples of new technologies that students may wishto select include (but of course are not limited to):
Augmented reality
Mobile applications
Social gaming/gamification
The Internet of Things
Social media
Cloud computing
Wearable technologies
Robotics
3D printing
Futuristic technology (i.e. based on trend maps for different sectors, such as Gartner Hype cycle,Horizon report, Futurism Facebook Page )
Task Summary
Your task is to first select a specific technology. For the chosen technology find out the following andsummarise in one page in a graphical format as done in Infographics.
What: what is the technology and for what purposes it may be used
Who: who might use this new technology
When and where: when and where it might be used and how. What types of services may benefit from its use
Analysis of the issues and impacts: social benefits and risks of technology use
Submission
The submission will take the form of a one-page summary in a graphical format as donein Infographics submitted via the Moodle submission dropbox. Continuing with the disruptive themefor the unit, rather than an A4-size poster presentation, we are choosing Infographswhich is atrendy new way of sharing data and information (e.g. Sensis report findings were presented asinfographs rather than simple text). You may submit the infograph as a PDF document. To createthe document, you may use the following:
MS PowerPoint, Microsoft Visio or similar tools (hint: search for PPT templates for posters)
Those who like challenge, you may like to use specialist tools such as Piktochart
There is no word limit as it will vary depending on how you choose to present the information. Think about it as an A4-size poster. Brevity and summary skills would be fundamental for this exercise.
You may also like to cite (i.e. in-text) relevant academic papers to support your argument andfindings. The scholarly journals, conferences and magazines can be used. You may need a mix of journal articles and popular/professional articles aboutyour technology. Note the citations that informed your submission should be added as a reference inaddition to the one-page (A4) summary in infograph style. Essentially it means the PDF documentwould be at least 2 pages long. Make sure the summary is presented using graphic visualisations andis appealing to the reader.
Link to Futuristic study: using new technology in service delivery
For your next assignment, you will conduct a futuristic study for redesigning existing services using a new technology working in a group. You may select service delivery areas from government or industry. Examples include health services, aged-care services, employment/recruitment services, banking, postal services etc. For the chosen service delivery, students will need to choose a new technology or new techniques/concepts to improve the chosen service delivery. The technology chosen for this assignment may assist you in thinking about what services can benefit from the use of this technology and how it may enhance a service delivery process.
