    System Design and Interactive Design work together as a part of the system devel

    System Design and Interactive Design work together as a part of the system development process. More specifically, Interactive Design revolves around creating a positive user experience while working with a product or device. Your cell phone is an example of a device where Interactive Design has been thoroughly studied. In this discussion, analyze your cell phone and share your experience as a user. If you do not have a cell phone, choose another device (tablet, e-reader, etc.) to share or talk to others about their experiences as a user.
    Share the following:
    A brief introduction about the device.
    The best features of the device.
    The worst features of the device.
    Additional features you would want to incorporate in your cell phone from a user design perspective.
    Finally, discuss the way(s) in which you Interact with God.

    CAPSTONE PROJECT: PLANNING PHASE ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
    OVERVIEW
    You must create a functioning information systems (IS) component that solves a business need.
    You must design and build your functioning IS component during this course. Your functioning
    IS component is due in the Capstone Project: Closing Phase Assignment. You must
    demonstrate progress toward completing your functioning IS component by submitting progress
    reports in the form of the Capstone Project: Planning Phase Assignment and Capstone
    Project: Deployment Phase Assignment. You must submit two files for each phase of this
    project.
    1. A Microsoft Word document report that follows the instructions in each project
    assignment. Do not place this report inside the ZIP folder. Submit this report as a separate
    file.
    2. A ZIP file containing all content you have developed up to this point in the class. Digital
    resources include, but are not limited to, all programming code, system configuration
    files, and setup instructions. You must show progress toward completing your
    functioning IS component by submitting development work in both the Capstone
    Project: Planning Phase Assignment and Capstone Project; Deployment Phase
    Assignment. You must submit the functioning IS component in the Capstone Project:
    Closing Phase Assignment.
    Your functioning IS component project is a demonstration of your skills developed throughout
    your academic degree program at Liberty University. You have completed the training. Now it is
    time to demonstrate what you can do.
    FREEDOM TO DECIDE
    This project gives you extensive freedom to make your own choices. With freedom comes
    responsibility. You must create an IS component that is significant enough to count as a capstone
    project in your degree program. You must make choices that allow you to create your IS
    component within the eight weeks of this course.
    You are free to choose:
    • Business need: Select a real business need or create a fake business scenario. Select a real
    company or create a fake company. The choice is entirely yours. Small, large, local,
    international, real, fake. You choose.
    • Development environment: Select any development environment you need to create your
    project. This includes any available development tools and programming languages. The
    choice is entirely yours. Caution: Copying the work of others is plagiarism unless you
    properly cite your source. You should cite sources in your report and code whenever you
    rely on significant help from a source. For example, a function or moderately complex
    block of code that you borrow from a source to accomplish a specific task should be
    cited. In addition, borrowed conceptual designs should be cited. For example, a database
    design, object functional design, or network design that you borrow from a source should
    be cited.CSIS 484

    • IS component. Select any IS component you desire for this project. This is your choice.
    Use your experience in previous courses to consider different IS components that you
    could create. Caution: Your project must be significant enough to count as a capstone
    project in your degree program. This means it must require significant work over the
    eight weeks of this course. This is a subjective standard that is difficult to measure. A
    website with a single page is insufficient. An ERP system is too much. Use your Work
    Breakdown Structure (WBS), see description below, as your guide. Ensure the necessary
    work for your IS component fills the remaining weeks of this course. Your project is too
    small if there is not enough work to fill the remaining weeks of this course. Your project
    is too large if you cannot complete all the work before the end of this course.
    • Changes to your project. You are free to modify anything about your project as the
    course progresses as you encounter new information or unforeseen challenges in creating
    your IS component. You are not required to receive permission to modify your project.
    The decision is yours. Caution: Your modified project must still meet all the requirements
    of this course. This includes, but is not limited to, being a significant enough project to
    count as a capstone project in your degree program and being completed by the end of the
    course. Follow the phase report instructions to document the changes being made to your
    project.

    a. Adhere to the most recent version of APA standards.
    b. Include a cover page.
    c. Do not include a table of contents.
