Alta : Oracle’s New Approach
Alta UI, released earlier this week, is the latest launch from tech giant Oracle. The culmination of over two years of user experience analysis and prototyping brings what Oracle is calling revolutionary for their product line. Intended for use with their slew of cloud products, fusion applications, and mobile apps, deployment has been continual.
According to Kanaracus (2014), “the goal with Alta is user interfaces that can adapt to various device types and screen resolutions while giving users a consistent experience.” The development was focused around four key design principles of design for mobile first, keep layouts simple and uncluttered, provide a clear information hierarchy, and engage users with more visual content. In adding support for mobile viewing, layouts are restricted to a maximum display width size of 1024 pixels to allow vertical flow. The layouts are simplified with more space and fewer page elements. A gallery of interface patterns is available for viewing, showing a consistent look and feel of products privately designed. Alta additionally encourages user interaction through the use of data visualizations, animation, and specialized color palette. Combined with a reworked structure for the display of the information hierarchy, users are presented with a modern and highly usable layout.
Alta UI also promises increased performance for users, as a result of the new minimalistic design approach. The modular components give flexibility to developers, with increased support for browser and mobile compatibility. The appropriate reduction of unnecessary stylistic elements encourages faster loading, helping to optimize large systems.
With the widespread reach of Oracle’s line of products, we will soon be seeing the effect Alta has brought upon customer perception. A step in the right direction, this interface trade up has brought the tech influencer up to speed with the likes of interface gurus Google and Apple. Oracle has hinted there is more to this story, and we’ll be on the look out to see what they’ve got in store next.

Topic: Alternative Dispute Resolution

“It is one thing to encourage the parties to agree to mediation, even to encourage them in the strongest terms. It is another to order them to do so. It seems to us that to oblige truly unwilling parties to refer their disputes to mediation would be to impose an unacceptable obstruction on their right of access to the court.”

Critically evaluate the above statement. To what extent are “truly unwilling parties” beyond the scope of alternative dispute resolution ?

Topic: Minitab Assignment (Formative Assessment 1 )

This formative assignment is designed to enable to you to hone skills of data gathering, data analysis using statistical software, and written communication of findings from data analysis.

The assignment requires you to gather cross-sectional data, find time series data, analyses the data using appropriate techniques, interpreting the output you have obtained and preparing a summary of your findings.

Task 1: For the seminar in the week commencing 6th October you will receive a Data Requirement Brief (DRB). This will identify the variables that you must investigate and 30 states from each of two regions of the world, e.g. Europe and Americas.

Find values for your variables for the 30 states in each of the two regions from electronic or paper sources. This type of data is referred to as cross-sectional data.

Task 2: Collect a set of approximately 20 observations of a single time series for one of the states on your DRB list. A time series consists of a set of observations that have been collected regularly over a period of time. Your time series should be related to business.

Task 3a: For your cross-sectional data produce a comparative boxplot and summary measures to describe and compare your two data sets.

Task 3b: Using the template provided on NOW, write a summary of your findings.

Task 4a: For your time series data plot an appropriate graph and identify the components that are evident in the time series.

Task 4b: Using the template provided on NOW, write a summary of your findings.

You should use the template provided on NOW to interpret and summaries your findings. This should be no more than 1000 words in length (excluding diagrams and appendices). You should attach your data list, DRB and Minitab output to your report in the form of appendices.
