How to Make a Data Dictionary? A data dictionary is critical to making your research more reproducible because it allows others to understand your data. The purpose of a data dictionary is to explain what all the variable names and values in your spreadsheet really mean. Variable names The first column should contain your variable names exactly as they appear in your spreadsheet. Readable variable name This column should contain short but human-readable variable names · For instance, if ‘VAR1’ is a variable name referring to weight, then an appropriate readable variable name for VAR1 is ‘weight’. · You can use spaces, characters, and capital letters. · This is the name that you would use to label graphs and other figures. Measurement units · This column should contain the measurement units for the variable. · For instance, if a column contains measurements of time, it should be clear whether they are measured in hours, minutes, or seconds. Allowed values · A column should contain the range of values or accepted values for the variable. |
· This helps identify data entry errors. · Minimum and maximum values should be included. · Chosen values (e.g., “male”, “female”) should be included and detailed, if needed, in the description column. Definition of the variable This column should contain a definition of the variable. The variable definition reflects the way you use the term and intend the term to be used by others who wish to understand your work. Synonyms for the variable name (optional) · This column should contain, if relevant, one or more words that could be substituted for the variable name. · These synonyms should reflect the meaning of the variable name as you use it, and not merely as the variable name might be used in a different context. · Again, the purpose is to convey the meaning of the variable term you use in your data. Description of the variable (optional) The final column should contain, where needed, a longer explanation of the variable. · This is a human readable description with enough information for others to understand what the variable refers to. · It should also explain terms in the variable’s definition in more depth if needed. For instance, a description of the variable might clarify what is intended by ‘disposition’ in the above definition. · It could provide sources for definitions if those definitions are not the researcher’s own. Other resources · The Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) is an international standard for describing the data produced by surveys and other observational methods in the social, behavioural, economic, and health sciences.

Assessment Task 2 Instructions
Carefully read the following scenario:
EGI College is a private Registered Training Organisation (RTO) with a campus based in Sydney CBD, it offers over 40 certificate and diploma level qualifications in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector for many subject areas including business, community services, education, information technology, health, hospitality, and many others.
Students select from one of two study shifts (morning or afternoons) to undertake study, which is self-directed in nature or trainer led, and to undertake assessments.
There are currently 450 students that attend the institute across a wide range of classrooms. Depending on their studies, students who require access to a computer are given access Windows 10 desktop machine and a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, and other software applicable to their studies plus access the internet.
Student management is undertaken on a bespoke application called “Student Manager.” Student Manager is a tool used to record student attendance, unit completion, student’s notes, and other applicable student management tasks.
EGI College use a mixture of laptops and desktop machines which all have Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 2016 installed on them. The network is managed by two servers:
• Admin server has Windows Server 2016 installed on it and is used by the employees of EGI College. It includes active directory, DNS (Domain Name Service), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and acts as the gateway to the internet. It also asks as an application server for the Student manager application and its associated database.
• A Student server also has Windows Server 2016 installed on it and is used by the students for study purposes. It also has active directory on it, and a separate domain implementing DNS and DHCP services.
Network Attached Storage is used for accessing both staff and student files. A UPS is used to protect the network from power loss and electrical surges.
The current network diagram of how the network components fits together is shown as follows:
The strategic goals which is a part of the organisation’s Strategic Plan as follows,
Mission
To provide quality education.
Vision
To become Australia’s number one education provider using modern technologies and teaching platforms.
