Introduction
Information is data that has been processed so that it has meaning and value to a recipient, whereas data tends to refer to recorded descriptions of things, events, activities and transactions. A database consists of stored data items organised for retrival. In organisations information plays an important role and is often contained in an information system, which may have four main characteristics: Making the fit between the strategy and structure of the organisation; linking parts of an organisation and enabling communication; enabling gradual development and adaptability to changing information needs; and enabling the sharing of the same information and data by many people and departments. This assignment aims to investigate and evaluate the three areas of information and information-based decision making, namely selection, analysis, and presentation of information and data. The assignment will apply academic theory to work-based situations set in the further and higher education context. Examples of information systems related to assessments, assessment records, surveys, and other educational information will be given. The assignment will be divided into three separate sections, addressing the areas described above.
