Your assignment is to download (if necesary) and experiment with two different Web HTML Editors. Search YouTube for any available tutorials on how to use the software. For each editor, create a page with a table, image, lists, and cascading style sheet. Include the name of the editor in the comments in the HTML file. Feel free to also include any other features you find interesting. Create a short write up containing information about your reaction to using each program. Did you like it? What features did you like? What features did you not like or felt could have been better? If you prefer, you can include this information inside the pages (display it when the file is opened with a browser) that you create using the programs. Do this process for two different HTML Web Editor programs. Do not submit the exact same code for each editor. The HTML file for each editor must be different. Submit the pages you created along with the write ups (If separate documents) to the correct submission box.

You have recently been hired as a Chief Information Governance Officer (CIGO) at a large company (You may choose your industry). This is a newly created position and department within the organization that was founded on the need to coordinate all areas of the business and to provide governance of the information. You will need to hire for all positions within your new department.

The company has been in business for more than 50 years and in this time has collected vast amounts of data. Much of this data has been stored in hard copy format in filing cabinets at an offsite location but in recent times, collected business data is in electronic format stored in file shares. Customer data is being stored in a relational database, but the lack of administration has caused data integrity issues such as duplication. There are currently no policies in place to address the handling of data, business or customer. The company also desires to leverage the marketing power of social media, but has no knowledge of the types of policies or legal issues they would need to consider. You will also need to propose relevant metrics that should be collected to ensure that the information governance program is effective.
