...Running head: ACCURACY OF DATA INPUT Accuracy of data input Intro Printed questionnaires Since we are working with a document that was created digitially, then printed on paper making it analog, the trick will be finding a method that easily converts the questionnaire's answers back to digital. Options are limited, since we would be relying on the individual's handwritten marks. The ability to scan test using scantrons has been around for a while, and has proven to be an efficient and effective way to quickly grade test. However, scantrones, or OMRs, rely on the testee to fill in bubbles using only #2 pencils. For the purposes of our questionaire, this would work, but #2 pencils would have to be supplied with the questionaire. A better method would be using OCR technology that scans and recongnizes the document based on light properties. With this method, the questionaires could be filled out using any analog input device, pencils or pens. Telephone survey Telephone surveys used to be conducted primarily by a pool of telemarketers that would use terminals to input the user's responses to questions. However, automated voice technology has enable a greater number of calls to go out that ask the user questions based on prerecorded questions. Because of this method, automated survey's rely on user input from touchtone key input, or automated voice response. Automated voice response systems has improved, but they rely on the background noice from the user’s side to be quite...

... * Tracking the Learners’ Progress Strengths: One of the strengths of the teacher’s spreadsheet was the use of conditional formatting. Conditional formatting was helpful by easily presenting data, by formatting a range of cells depending on certain grades or scores means that analysing and categorising data will much easier with a visual representation and the teacher can make more accurate conclusions. The way the tables are laid out, and by defining a range is very useful for a teacher when it comes to neatly organising a spreadsheet with many tables of class’s results. By defining a range means that tables are easy to input into formulae, and will help reduce errors. AutoSum is very beneficial to a teacher because it simply adds up an entire column without having to add each cell individually. This saves a lot of time, and helps reduce errors, especially if there is lots of students’ data. Weaknesses: Macros are not included in the spreadsheet, which would’ve been very useful for a teacher. Macros stop repetitive tasks being completed over and over again. This is useful as it saves a lot of time to the teacher, e.g. if they click a customised button which filters data or changes sheets. This will also improve the usability of the spreadsheet and make the data input easier. Goal seek, which also isn’t included in the spreadsheet, would also be very beneficial for a teacher. Goal seek is where a cell total changes in order to reach a possible result, and this...

...Jr. CIS/319 Version 8 April 29, 2012 Ike Shia Abstract This paper is to focus on the accuracy, convenience, different types of storage methods, and the roles they play as far as the speed of the systems. Throughout the paper it discusses the best input and output methods for various hardware and software. Accuracy of Data Accuracy of data input is important. What method of data input would be best for each of the following situations and why: As far for printed questionnaires the best method for data input would be a keyboard, because it permits one to produce the required test that formulates the questionnaires. The best method for a telephone survey would be voice recognition and recording system because a voice input device can be programmed to distinguish and record answers spoken into the receiver allowing it to all be computed. Bank checks would best be used in a scanning method that recognizes bar codes. To be more specific a magnetic scanning input device would be the exact system to use. This system reads the numbers at the bottom of the checks and will mechanically make modifications to the correct accounts. It will input the codes in a system will magnetize the information at the bottom of the check for simple interpretation. For retail tags the best data input for would be a bar code scanner as well. This specific scanner is called an optical scanning input device. By using a bar code scanner it would be unnecessary to use a keyboard to enter numbers...

...definition I have determined that defines a data type is different types of data that will include a range of value or a specific type of data in a storage formant. A variable that is stored as data in a computer program has to be a specific data type. There are many different types of data that includes dates, values, numbers, and characters to name a few. Different data types can be used by a large number of database applications. A specific kind of data is usually required in certain fields of a database. For example, if a business has a database for all the employees a different data type would be used for each kind of data. The start date for an employee could be stored in a date format, but a wage/salary amount would be stored as an integer. If database types are kept the same in all the records then the applications are easily search, compare, and sort different records. Data typing is important if you want to keep a business managed. Data entry is important because it is a way of organizing data that keeps a business well managed. Data entry is very important if you want to manage information and records in a computer software program. Data entry assures accuracy of company’s data and all information keeps up to date. Accuracy is very important in data entry validation. Validation of data entry will reduce the problems of inaccuracy if incorrect data is input. When creating a data entry the format for each field can input. The date, time, number, character, etc. format...
