320) What is an enterprise network? What is the difference between a traditional network and an SDN? Suppose you are the CIO of a large enterprise; which network would you implement and why?
Difficulty: Medium
Section Reference 1: 6.1
Learning Objective 6.1: Compare and contrast the major types of networks.
Bloomcode: Comprehension, Application
Standard 1: AACSB || Communication
Standard 2 : AACSB || Technology
Solution: a network with multiple LANs and a WAN; traditional = rigid and lack flexibility to keep pace with increasing business networking requirements vs. SDN = manage network flows through centrally located software – dynamically adjusts data flows to meet business and application needs; SDN to adjust to network requirements

Learning Objective 2: Describe the most common methods for accessing the Internet.
Bloomcode: Evaluation
Standard 1: AACSB || Communication
Standard 2 : AACSB || Analytic
Standard 3 : AACSB || Technology
Solution: 
Dial-up = least desirable, won’t be watching YouTube videos using it; can’t use the phone when on the Internet
DSL = don’t have to share with others on the network so it is more secure and don’t have slow down problems in the evenings; problems = harder to set-up
Cable modem = inexpensive and easy to set-up but speeds vary and will slow down when many people are using it
Satellite = like dial-up (not desirable), much slower than other options and have a download limit (one example website: http: //www.reviews.org/Internet-service/best-satellite-Internet-providers/)
Wireless = this generally applies to use on smartphones (all students will probably mention this), but this isn’t typically considered a viable solution for main use in the home
FTTH = extremely fast service offered by many companies now (not just new housing developments as mentioned in the text) and not necessarily that expensive but it is limited by location
322) How are the Internet and the World Wide Web different? How is an intranet related to the Internet? What function does an extranet provide?

Bloomcode: Comprehension, Analysis
Standard 1: AACSB || Communication
Standard 2 : AACSB || Analytic
Standard 3 : AACSB || Technology
Solution: Internet = network of networks that everyone can access; the WWW (e.g., Google, Facebook), e-mail, FTP run on the Internet
www = application that runs on the Internet
Intranet = a network that is internal to an organization and is not available to everyone; university registration system or course management system; an intranet is a protected network within an organization that can have access to the Internet
Extranet = a network that connects organizations – an intranet with external access; VPN

Bloomcode: Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis
Standard 1: AACSB || Communication
Standard 2 : AACSB || Ethics
Standard 3 : AACSB || Analytic
Standard 4 : AACSB || Technology
Standard 5 : AACSB || Reflective Thinking
Solution: When an organization outsources a task to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call
Benefits:
Cheaper and quicker problem resolution
Tap a wider range of talent
Gain insight into customer desires
Rapid design process
Risks:
Experts only?
Accuracy
Up-to-date and relevant?
Too many ideas (most may be worthless but still need to evaluate)
Intellectual property (copyrights)
Quality
Small versus large depends – small may be prone to use it because it is cheap and won’t have a large workforce to develop ideas but could lose the idea (intellectual property); large may want to use it to get customer buy-in but have the resources to do it in-house if they want
324) What is the difference between e-learning and distance learning (do not simply provide the definitions for the two)? Did you have to take classes online during the COVID-19 pandemic? If so, did you enjoy it (why or why not)? If not, how did your university manage your classes; did you like that? These last two questions are mostly opinion, but they should consider the benefits and drawbacks of e-learning.
Difficulty: Medium
Section Reference 1: 6.7
Learning Objective 6.7: Explain the impact that educational network applications have had on business and everyday life.
Bloomcode: Application
Standard 1: AACSB || Communication
Standard 2 : AACSB || Technology
Standard 3 : AACSB || Reflective Thinking
Solution: e-learning is anything supported by the web (so a physical class could include e-learning if YouTube videos are shown or the class uses a class management system); distance learning is any time the student and teacher don’t meet face-to-face (“online” classes); benefits = current and high-quality content, flexibility, less time to learn for most (learn at own pace), costs less; drawbacks = computer literate, miss face-to-face interaction, not sure who completed the assignment
