Assessment of System Configuration and App Setup

This assignment involves comprehensive verification and documentation of various digital systems and applications across both computer and mobile devices. The tasks include reviewing system backup options, firewall status, email setup, communication applications, browser bookmarks, file downloads, mobile app installations, virtual assistant interactions, and device information. Each task requires capturing visual evidence through screenshots to demonstrate successful configuration or operation.

Computer System Tasks

Backup Options Verification

First, the student must examine the backup settings of their operating system, whether Windows or macOS. On Windows, this involves accessing the "Backup" settings via the Control Panel or Settings menu and verifying that automatic backup features, such as File History or Backup and Restore, are enabled. On macOS, this involves opening Time Machine preferences and confirming that backups are scheduled and active. A screenshot must be provided to demonstrate that the backup system is enabled, including the status and selected backup disk.

Firewall Activation

Next, the student is required to access the system's firewall settings. On Windows, this can be done through the Windows Security app under "Firewall & Network Protection," where the status "Domain network, Private network, and Public network" should be shown as enabled. On macOS, Firewall status can be checked in the Security & Privacy preferences. A screenshot must be submitted that clearly shows the firewall being turned on and active, confirming network security measures are in place.

Email Account Setup

The student should configure the built-in email application on their operating system, inputting their preferred email account credentials, and then take a screenshot of the setup process or a draft email. The screenshot should clearly indicate the email account is active and capable of sending and receiving messages, exemplified by a draft email with recipient, subject, and content.

Communication Application Configuration

For the communication app assignment, the student must open Skype (Windows 10) or FaceTime (macOS), log in, and demonstrate configured status through a screenshot. Showing the username, account info, or active status reflects a successful setup and readiness for communication.

Mobile Device Tasks

Email Setup

On the mobile device, the student needs to set up the email account within the device’s email app, then produce a screenshot of either a draft email or the email account settings page to prove configuration.

Browser Bookmark Creation

The student is asked to create a bookmark for a specific external site within their internet browser (Chrome or Safari). A screenshot must be provided showing the bookmark present in the bookmarks bar or menu, signifying the process was completed successfully.

File Download and Storage Verification

Using cloud storage services such as Google Drive or AirDrop/iCloud, the student will download the specified document "Links to an external site." and display a screenshot of the file visible in the device’s file manager or cloud storage app, confirming the download's success.

Mobile App Installation

The Chamberlain mobile app should be downloaded and added to the device’s home screen. A screenshot must display the app icon on the home screen, confirming installation and placement.

Virtual Assistant Scheduling

The student must interact with their virtual assistant (such as Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa) to create a new appointment for tomorrow at 10 AM. A screenshot of the assistant's response or confirmation message verifies this task was completed successfully.

Device Information Capture

Finally, the student should access their device's settings to capture a screenshot of device information, including model, OS version, storage details, and other relevant specifications, providing a comprehensive overview of their device hardware and software environment.

Conclusion

Completing these steps demonstrates proficiency in managing system settings, cloud services, communication tools, and virtual assistants, critical skills in today's digital landscape. The collected evidence via screenshots should be compiled in the provided Word document, ensuring clarity and completeness to verify each task's successful execution.
