Unit Learning Outcomes Assessed

This assessment addresses the following Unit Learning Outcome:

ULO1: Review the major activities and techniques involved in IT/IS value

management.

ULO2:Appraise the role of governance in IT/IS value management.

ULO3: Construct a business case to support an investment in IT/IS.

ULO4: Assess the impacts of IT implementation on diverse stakeholders,

including from an ethical or social perspective.

Assessment Context (Scenario)

Now you are extending the Assesment 2. Do not repeat any information you have

presented in Assessment 2. Edith Cowan University (ECU) is transitioning to the City

Campus and considering the strategic adoption of Agentic AI to support teaching and

learning.

While the opportunity offers potential value, it also introduces significant ICT risks,

governance challenges, and ethical considerations, including:

Data privacy and security risks

Algorithmic bias and transparency

Accountability and decision ownership

Regulatory compliance

Academic integrity and trust

Reputation and social responsibility

You are acting as a disaster recovery and business continuity team member and ICT

Risk, Governance, and Ethics Advisor to ECU senior management. After consulting an

expert in the field, it was recommended that a poster would be a more effective

communication approach. The key points highlighted were as follows:

Posters support clear, high-level communication, allowing senior management to

quickly scan key risks and insights rather than engage in deep reading.

Their visual structure, including concise headings, icons, and short statements,

enhances engagement and directs attention to the most critical issues.

Additionally, posters improve accessibility by presenting complex ICT,

governance, and ethical considerations in a simplified yet accurate manner.

Finally, posters act as a discussion catalyst, encouraging dialogue and reflection,

which is particularly valuable for strategic and ethical decision-making.

Assessment Task

You are required to:

1. Design a professional academic poster that analyses the ECU case through:

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning

ICT Risk Management

Ethics in ICT

IT/IS governance frameworks (extra – You can conduct your own research and

include anything relevant to the context)

Recommendations

2. Defend your analysis in a Viva, responding to questions from the examiner.

Your work must be grounded in concepts learned in the second half of the unit,

including:

Disaster recovery and business continuity (where relevant)

ICT risk management (risk identification, risk matrix, risk register)

Ethics in ICT (Different perspectives, codes of ethics, workplace ethics)

Do not explain theory in isolation. Apply it directly to the ECU case.

Key Requirement
