Part A
Objectives
In this part of Assessment Item 1, you will create and deliver an oral presentation on your logical network design. The scenario to be used for the logical network design is given on page 5. Please refer to the Unit Profile to understand how this part of the assessment item relates to the Unit Learning Outcomes (ULOs).
Requirements
All students
You are to demonstrate your technical as well as presentation skills by presenting your logical network design, and receive feedback from your peers and/or the tutor. The presentation should include the outcomes of your weekly discussions to Q2 of Week 4, Q2 of Week 5 and Q2 of Week 6. Each of you need to upload a copy of the presentation slides o your group to Moodle before delivering the presentation.
On-Campus students
On-campus students should deliver their presentations during the class time in weeks 7 and 8. Students will be required to work in groups of up to 4 or individually. The maximum duration for each presentation group will be 15 minutes, including 5 minutes for answering the questions and the discussion. This time frame will be strictly enforced due to time constraints.
Please note that the presentations must be completed on the scheduled day. If a student or a group does not present on the scheduled day, they will receive 0 marks for Part A unless they have a valid reason supported by evidence such as a medical certificate.
Distance students
Distance students should contact the unit coordinator by the end of week 3 and agree for a suitable presentation method and time. The presentations could also be recorded by the student (or the group) and uploaded to YouTube with a link provided in the presentation slides. Answering of questions and the discussion could then be undertaken via telephone at a mutually agreed time.
Students will have to complete their presentations in weeks 7 and 8 of the term.
Submission
Each student needs to upload a copy of the presentation slides of their group to Moodle before delivering the presentation.
Assessment criteria
The marking criteria for Part A of the Assessment Item 1are provided on page 3.
You need to familiarise themselves with the marking criteria to ensure that you have addressed them when preparing and presenting this assessment item.
Assessment Item 1 – Part A - Marking Criteria
Criteria | HD | D | C | P | F | Your Mark |
1. Presentation structure: | ||||||
a. Introduction (1 Mark) Introduce yourself (or your group) and the road map. Aim to engage your audience from the beginning of the presentation. | ||||||
b. Body (3 Marks) Marks will be given for the quality of the content that you deliver. The content must explain your logical design supported by the outcomes of the specified weekly discussion questions. | ||||||
c. Conclusion (1 Mark) Summarise the key points that you presented in the body. | ||||||
2. Delivery (2 Marks) Do not read the full text, practice and keep to the time limit. Use the time carefully without rushing at the end. | ||||||
3. Questions (2 Marks) Coping with questions at the end of the presentation (the telephone interview for the distance students). (2 Marks) | ||||||
4. Presentation slides (1 Mark) Ensure that the slide contents are clearly visible to entire audience and your slides are well–prepared and useful. Use your slides effectively (i.e. integrated into the presentation). | ||||||

Part B
Objectives
In this part of the Assessment Item1, you will complete your logical network design report based on the written and oral feedback that you received after your presentation in Part A. Please refer to the Unit Profile to see how this part of the assessment item relates to the ULOs.
Requirements
You also need to upload the logical network design report. This report should include:
- The list of requirements
- The list of assumptions – Note: The assumptions are not the requirements that have been provided in the task. They are the additional requirements that you may need for your
- The logical network diagram(s)
- The explanation of your logical network design
- The justification of your logical network design
- The model for addressing and naming
- The list of routing and switching protocols
- The list of security mechanisms
Submission
Each student needs to upload a copy of their group report to Moodle on or before the due date.
Assessment criteria
The marking criteria for Part B of the Assessment Item 1are provided on page 6. You need to familiarise yourself with the criteria to ensure that you have addressed them when preparing this assessment item.
The Scenario for Network Design Assessment Tasks Your company in Australia specialises in designing networks for local and international clients. It has won a contract to design a comprehensive network for Auto-fishing Group (AG), a newly established cooperative society of fishermen in Northern Territory. AG will operate from a small office in Darwin.
This cooperative society was established to increase the fish yield of its member fishermen and supply the fish to the consumers as quickly as possible at a reasonable price. Using sophisticated technology including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), the fishermen will locate the schools of fish suitable for consumption without catching them indiscriminately and thereby reducing over fishing. AG plans to directly supply the fish from the fishermen to the customers without an intermediary. To this end, AG will have its own vehicles, ten distribution centres along the coast of the state and three distribution vehicles at each distribution centre. Each fisherman will be affiliated to a distribution centre.
When a customer places an order using the app of AG or over the phone, the order will be processed using a proprietary software application of AG By using this software, the distribution centres will not only be able to receive the optimum quantity of fish from the fishermen on time but also be able to deliver the order to the customers quickly. This whole process will be automated with the help of on-board computers on the distribution vehicles connected to the office of AG and the mobile devices of the fishermen.
Using the software application, the fishermen will find out the quantity of each category of fish they can supply on the run and catch them to meet the demand. The fishermen will also get connected to the Internet and post questions to online forums. AG will also have an online banking society that provides most of the main banking facilities of other banks to its member fishermen. AG needs the guarantee that their proprietary application, and various data and information in their information system are secured.
AG also plans to build a marine and fisheries training centre in Darwin. The centre will have a managing director, a secretary and two instructors. There will be 20 students at any time in the training centre, participating in the classes. Facilities will be provided for instructors to show the live videos of fish shoals and schools as well as the techniques used by the fishermen to the students. The network of the training centre will be a part of the network of AG.
Using the top-down network design methodology that you learned in this unit, design the network of AG, including its member fishermen. Each step of your design should clearly explain and justify how you satisfy the requirements.
