Question 9

Eric just signed up for his first college class after being out of school for nearly a decade. He goes to the bookstore the week before class starts to get his book, and he's surprised to learn that he only needs an access card. How will Eric be accessing the course material for his college class?
A) BYOD
B) Telecommuting
C) LMS
D) Social networking

Accepted Answer

LMS (Learning Management System) is a platform commonly used in colleges and universities to deliver course materials and manage student interactions. The access card Eric purchased is likely for the online version of his textbook, which he will access through the LMS. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and telecommuting are not relevant in this scenario, and social networking is unlikely to be the primary method for accessing course material in a college class.

What technology could you use to display an image of a street overlaid with markers indicating restaurant locations?
A) Robotics
B) Internet of Things (IoT)
C) Digital assistant
D) Augmented reality (AR)

What key factor might reduce the positive impact this plan could have for making technology more accessible to these families?
A) The school might put passwords on all the iPads.
B) iPads aren't powerful enough devices.
C) Many rural families don't have Internet access at home.

Which of the following communications technologies are used for IoT communications?
A) Bluetooth
B) NFC
C) RFID
D) All of these

Accepted Answer

All of these (Bluetooth, NFC, and RFID) are commonly used for IoT communications depending on the application and specific requirements. Bluetooth is typically used for short-range, high-bandwidth communications between devices, NFC is used for very short-range communications (i.e. in contact with or very close to the device), and RFID is used for long-range, low-bandwidth communications (i.e. tracking packages or inventory).
