If you could read one and only one ESSAY to learn about the state of Information Systems in the world and in business, then this is the one:
Ford, P. (2015, June 15). Code: An Essay. Bloomberg Businessweek, 4431, 13–110.
Together with a partner,
summarize THREE total chapters (one per column + one from random list),
write a quiz question for each, and generate a list of facts.
Then, write your own chapter with new or different content.
Lastly, create and update the TIMELINE with facts and details from all 4 chapters.
NOTE: That is ALL Three Parts (summaries, chapter, & timeline) with the same partner.
Submit via CNVS tech-story-partners
only one partner needs to submit provided that you have both joined a tech-story-partners group
CNVS > People > tech-story-partners
THE ESSAY: CODE?
The What is Code? issue of Bloomberg Businessweek from June 15, 2015 is a collection of 41 short articles (or chapters) written by Paul Ford.
Henceforth, I’ll call this resource: “CODE?”
You can find it in a variety of places and formats:
CODE? via Bloomberg: interactive activities throughout
(like a GIF of a sweaty Steve Balmer of Microsoft.)
(I saw him once in 2001 when I was a consultant up at MS HQ in Redmond, WA)
(Whoa, strong flex, Dr. Cumbie)
CODE? as a scanned/downloadable PDF
can’t CTRL-F search & not screen-reader compliant
Search for it at UNA Library
query: JN “Bloomberg Businessweek”

scroll way down on right side of issue list

click: Issue 4431 – 6/15/2015
each chapter listed as its own entry, can’t view it all at once.
Article Selection
CODE? has 41 “articles” (or chapters, sections, whatever)
Pick one from each column (CODE?, p. 15)
chose one from pp. 17-70
chose one from pp. 71-109
The choice is up to you. If you pick one that doesn’t fit well with the assignment requirements, go back to and pick another!
Lastly, choose one from this list:

But we already picked the RANDOM one!
NBD. Just go up or down one on the list
Our random one is JUNK. There’s not enough content in it to complete this assignment.

WORKING WITH A PARTNER
How?
That’s up to you: Zoom, MS Teams, CNVS Group Page, Google Doc (😍), Email MS Word versions back and forth.

Submission
Submit via CNVS Assignment. Each part of the assignment has its own text-input area (uploads allowed on TIMELINE)
DO NOT WRITE YOUR ANSWERS DIRECTLY INTO CNVS. It will not auto-save. It will glitch. It’s a web-based form. Instead:
Write offline or in something cool like a Google Doc.
When ready to submit, copy/paste into CNVS and clean up formatting as needed.
I think you can upload images too if you choose for your timeline or otherwise.
