Business Information Systems and Technology
Information Systems, 100-level
Stuck on INFO123? Get help from a UC student who sat this exact course and got an A-, A or A+. Work through the part that is holding you up, online, when an eligible tutor is available. In-person requests are temporarily paused.
A place to start
Map an information system before judging the technology
INFO123 looks at information systems through people, process, technology and data. That four-part view helps you explain why changing an app alone may not fix a business problem.
Practice prompt: a student club replaces a shared spreadsheet with an online event-booking form. What changes for the volunteers and attendees, and what data needs protecting?
- List the people who enter, check and use the booking information.
- Describe the old and new process, then identify the technology and data involved.
- Name one privacy or security risk and a practical way to reduce it.
Check your reasoning
Volunteers need a way to collect bookings, check capacity and confirm places; attendees need a clear form and confirmation. The system stores names and contact details, so only authorised volunteers should see them. Collect only what the event needs and remove the data when it is no longer needed.
An original practice prompt, not a UC assessment question. Topics checked against the UC course description.

Get matched
Your request goes to tutors who got an A-, A or A+ in this exact course. The first to claim it is yours.

Get unstuck
Meet on video with a shared whiteboard. End whenever you are done.
A course opens for requests as soon as it has enough verified tutors. Lighthouse is for practice and understanding, never for completing assessed work.
