Question 2

What can you do to make sure your online communications are civil and productive?
A) Post all of your messages anonymously.
B) Incorporate humor in your communications.
C) Follow netiquette guidelines.
D) Keep in mind that your online communications are private.

Accepted Answer

Following netiquette guidelines, such as being polite and respectful, using proper grammar and punctuation, and avoiding all caps or excessive emoticons, can help ensure that online communications are civil and productive. Posting anonymously (option A) can lead to inappropriate or offensive behavior, while humor (option B) can be misconstrued or insensitive to others. Additionally, it is important to remember that online communications are not always private (option D), as they can be saved or shared without your knowledge or consent.

Question 3

Cade uses social media sites to network with customers, coworkers, and other professionals in his industry. He blogs, shares articles, and comments on other people's content as well. Lately, one follower has been posting inappropriate, harassing comments on Cade's posts. What can Cade do to minimize the disruption this person is causing?
A) Change his password to his social media accounts
B) Stop posting
C) Make all his posts private
D) Block the person

Accepted Answer

Blocking the person would prevent them from seeing Cade's posts and commenting on them, effectively minimizing the disruption they are causing. Changing his password or making all his posts private would not address the issue of the follower's inappropriate comments. Stopping posting altogether would also not be a sustainable solution to this problem.

Question 4

Yuri is preparing for a certification exam in his industry and needs to study. However, he has a long commute for work each day where he's driving in crowded traffic. What form of digital communication would best help Yuri put this time to good use?
A) Online conferencing
B) Podcasts
C) Voice-to-text
D) Email

Accepted Answer

Podcasts would be the best choice for Yuri to utilize his time during his long commute. He can listen to educational podcasts related to his industry and prepare for his certification exam. Online conferencing and email require more attention and focus, which may not be safe while driving. Voice-to-text may also be distracting while driving.

Question 5

A) The HR director mistakenly named Felipe as the picnic organizer.
B) Most people used the Reply All button.

A) Technology addiction
B) Disinformation
C) Technology overload
D) Interactive communication

Accepted Answer

Disinformation is a negative effect of social media that could affect Liena's campaign. Disinformation refers to the spread of false or misleading information, which could harm Liena's reputation and credibility. Technology addiction, technology overload, and interactive communication are not necessarily negative effects for Liena's campaign.

Question 7

How can smartphones without Wi-Fi access connect to the Internet? connect
A) Using near field communication
B) Using a Bluetooth connection
C) Using a cellular network
D) Using an Ethernet connection

Accepted Answer

Smartphones without Wi-Fi access can connect to the Internet using a cellular network, which provides access through a mobile data network. Bluetooth and near field communication (NFC) are short-range wireless communication technologies that allow for data transfer and sharing between devices, but they do not provide Internet access. Ethernet connections require a physical cable and are typically not available on smartphones.

Question 8

A) Blog
B) Email
C) Podcast
D) Wiki

Accepted Answer

Posting his stories on a blog would allow Dillon to easily share his work with a wider audience and potentially attract the attention of publishers or literary agents who may be interested in his writing style. Plus, a blog would also allow Dillon to showcase his illustrations alongside his stories.

Question 9

When David posts his photos to a Facebook album, the Facebook site automatically places David's photos in chronological order by when they were taken and suggests places David might want to tag in the photos. How does Facebook know this information?
A) Tags
B) Filenames
C) Metadata
D) Comments

Accepted Answer

Facebook obtains this information from the metadata embedded in the photos, which provides details such as the date and time the photo was taken, location, camera type, and other technical details. Facebook analyzes this metadata to order the photos chronologically and suggests places David might want to tag in the photos.

Question 10

Donna is setting up her own web server to provide information to her clients. How will her web server be uniquely identified on the Internet?
A) IP address
B) Username and password
C) Email address

Question 11

Kori's department is learning how to use some new software. She wants to set up a knowledge base so team members can document what they're learning, easily share it with each other, and organize the information for easy reference later. Which type of digital media is best suited to their needs?
A) Blog
B) Email
C) Podcasts
D) Wiki

Accepted Answer

A wiki is the best choice for setting up a knowledge base as it allows team members to easily document their learning, share information with each other, and organize information for easy reference later. Unlike a blog or a podcast, a wiki allows multiple users to collaborate and edit the content, making it a more dynamic and interactive tool for knowledge sharing. Email is not a good option for organizing and sharing information as it is not easily searchable and can create confusion and clutter in people's inboxes.

Question 12

Hayley is an accessibility advocate at a small college and frequently shares information with her co-workers about how to better accommodate students with learning challenges. The college president has complimented her efforts and asked her to find ways to make this information more readily available and better organized for new, incoming instructors. What kind of site might best help Hayley achieve this goal?
A) Social networking site
B) Discussion forum site
C) Social curation site
D) Social bookmarking site

Accepted Answer

A social curation site, such as Pinterest, would be best suited to organize and make readily available the information for the new instructors. Hayley can create boards for different types of learning challenges with curated resources and share them with the new instructors. This can also allow for continued updates and improvements to the resources as needed. Social networking and discussion forum sites may not provide the necessary organization and structure, while social bookmarking sites may not allow for enough customization and curation.

Question 13

Marley is setting up Internet service with an ISP and wants to make sure she has a high-capacity connection for watching online movies. What type of connection should she request?
A) Narrowband
B) Powerline
C) Broadband
D) Bluetooth

Accepted Answer

Marley should request a broadband connection as it provides high-capacity internet connectivity, which is suitable for streaming online movies. Narrowband is a low-capacity connection that is suitable for basic internet usage. Powerline is a type of connection that uses the electrical wiring in a building to transmit internet signals and may not provide the speed required for streaming movies. Bluetooth is a wireless technology used for short-range data transfer between devices and is not suitable for internet connectivity.

C) Archive his older messages.
D) Organize his Inbox folder.

Accepted Answer

Checking the Sent Items folder will allow Dennis to confirm that the email was indeed sent from his email account.

Archiving older messages (option C) and organizing the Inbox folder (option D) are unrelated to confirming whether or not the email was sent.

Skype is a communication tool, Dropbox is a cloud storage service, and GoFundMe is a fundraising platform, none of which would help Tammy in her quest for quality information.

A) Poplar drive
B) Linksys
