Portfolio of Evidence (PoE) — Background ___________________

A portfolio of evidence (POE) is a collection of materials that illustrates a person’s skills and
capabilities. Through a POE, students can recognise their own growth and learn new skills. Students
can also show possible employers what their capabilities are.

The POE is the place (usually a file) where students collect critical documents which they can use for
one or both of the following purposes:

• To demonstrate their competence by putting together evidence of what they did.

• To keep in one place some of the documents, they may wish to show a potential employer as
evidence of their learning.

In this module, you will be expected to complete POE tasks. Ensure that you keep both the hard copy
and the soft copy of the completed POE. Use your creativity and be as innovative as possible in the
creation of the final solution. Use the marking rubrics provided to guide you through the minimum
content that you are required to submit for evaluation.

This POE will require you to work consistently during the semester to achieve the best results.

Read the scenario below and then answer the questions that follow:

Mr. Khoza runs a small business in Midrand, Gauteng. His business has been steadily growing since
its inception in February 2019in spite of the ill-effects of the COVID19 lockdowns as well as the
ripple effects of the Russia-Ukraine such as rising fuel prices and inflation.
He, Mr. Khoza, has asked you to design a secure network for his small business. Additionally, he
would like you to design and build a cost-effective network for his business.

The current setup is such that every PC and laptop user uses a 3G dongle to connect to the internet.
When users need to print they either copy the work that needs to be printed to USB flash drives or
email their work to any one of the five users whose PCs are attached to a printer – all printers
connect via USB cables.

The new network, according to Mr. Khoza, should cater to at least thirty devices, fifteen desktops
(PCs), seven laptops including Mr. Khoza’s laptop, two servers and four BYOD devices. Additionally,
Mr. Khoza wants to allow visitors such as customers and suppliers to connect mobile devices to get
internet connectivity. All users with PCs and laptops should still be able to print.

The premises where Mr. Khoza runs his business has six offices (rooms). All the rooms are located
on the same floor. Mr. Khoza has an office and does not share office space. There are two open
plan offices, the first open plan office houses seven desktops and the remainder of the PCs are
housed in the second open plan office. Two laptop users share an office while the other three laptop
users share a separate office. A small storeroom has been selected for use as a server room.

Intellectual Property
Plagiarism occurs in a variety of forms. Ultimately though, it refers to the use of the words, ideas or
images of another person without acknowledging the source using the required conventions. The IIE
publishes a Quick Reference Guide that provides more detailed guidance, but a brief description of
plagiarism and referencing is included below for your reference. It is vital that you are familiar with
this information and the Intellectual Integrity Policy before attempting any assignments.

Introduction to Referencing and Plagiarism

What is ‘Plagiarism’?

‘Plagiarism’ is the act of taking someone’s words or ideas and presenting them as your own.

What is ‘Referencing’?

‘Referencing’ is the act of citing or giving credit to the authors of any work that you have referred to
or consulted. A ‘reference’ then refers to a citation (a credit) or the actual information from a
publication that is referred to.

Referencing is the acknowledgment of any work that is not your own, but is used by you in an
academic document. It is simply a way of giving credit to and acknowledging the ideas and words of
others.

When writing assignments, students are required to acknowledge the work, words or ideas of others
through the technique of referencing. Referencing occurs in the text at the place where the work of
others is being cited, and at the end of the document, in the bibliography.

The bibliography is a list of all the work (published and unpublished) that a writer has read in the
course of preparing a piece of writing. This includes items that are not directly cited in the work.

A reference is required when you:

• Quote directly: when you use the exact words as they appear in the source;
• Copy directly: when you copy data, figures, tables, images, music, videos or frameworks;
• Summarise: when you write a short account of what is in the source;
• Paraphrase: when you state the work, words and ideas of someone else in your own words.

© The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd 2022

Page 17 of 21
18; 19; 20; 21 2022

It is standard practice in the academic world to recognise and respect the ownership of ideas, known
as intellectual property, through good referencing techniques. However, there are other reasons
why referencing is useful.

Good Reasons for Referencing

It is good academic practice to reference because:

• It enhances the quality of your writing;

• It demonstrates the scope, depth and breadth of your research;
• It gives structure and strength to the aims of your article or paper;
• It endorses your arguments;
• It allows readers to access source documents relating to your work, quickly and easily.

Sources

The following would count as ‘sources’:

• Books,
• Chapters from books,
• Encyclopaedias,
• Articles,
• Journals,
• Magazines,
• Periodicals,
• Newspaper articles,
• Items from the Internet (images, videos, etc.),
• Pictures,
• Unpublished notes, articles, papers, books, manuscripts, dissertations, theses, etc.,
• Diagrams,
• Videos,
• Films,
• Music,
• Works of fiction (novels, short stories or poetry).

What You Need to Document from the Hard Copy Source You are Using

(Not every detail will be applicable in every case. However, the following lists provide a guide to
what information is needed.)

© The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd 2022

Page 18 of 21
18; 19; 20; 21 2022

You need to acknowledge:

• The words or work of the author(s),

• The author(s)’s or editor(s)’s full names,
• If your source is a group/ organisation/ body, you need all the details,
• Name of the journal, periodical, magazine, book, etc.,
• Edition,
• Publisher’s name,
• Place of publication (i.e. the city of publication),
• Year of publication,
• Volume number,
• Issue number,
• Page numbers.

What You Need to Document if you are Citing Electronic Sources

• Author(s)’s/ editor(s)’s name,

• Title of the page,
• Title of the site,
• Copyright date, or the date that the page was last updated,
• Full Internet address of page(s),
• Date you accessed/ viewed the source,
• Any other relevant information pertaining to the web page or website.

Referencing Systems

There are a number of referencing systems in use and each has its own consistent rules. While these
may differ from system-to-system, the referencing system followed needs to be used consistently,
throughout the text. Different referencing systems cannot be mixed in the same piece of work!

A detailed guide to referencing, entitled Referencing and Plagiarism Guide is available from your
library. Please refer to it if you require further assistance.

When is Referencing Not Necessary?

This is a difficult question to answer – usually when something is ‘common knowledge’. However, it
is not always clear what ‘common knowledge’ is.

© The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd 2022

Page 19 of 21
18; 19; 20; 21 2022

Examples of ‘common knowledge’ are:

• Nelson Mandela was released from prison in 1990;

• The world’s largest diamond was found in South Africa;
• South Africa is divided into nine provinces;
• The lion is also known as ‘The King of the Jungle’.
• 𝐸𝐸 = 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚2
• The sky is blue.

Usually, all of the above examples would not be referenced. The equation 𝐸𝐸 = 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚2 is Einstein’s
famous equation for calculations of total energy and has become so familiar that it is not referenced
to Einstein.

Sometimes what we think is ‘common knowledge’, is not. For example, the above statement about
the sky being blue is only partly true. The light from the sun looks white, but it is actually made up of
all the colours of the rainbow. Sunlight reaches the Earth's atmosphere and is scattered in all
directions by all the gases and particles in the air. The smallest particles are by coincidence the same
length as the wavelength of blue light. Blue is scattered more than the other colours because it
travels as shorter, smaller waves. It is not entirely accurate then to claim that the sky is blue. It is
thus generally safer to always check your facts and try to find a reputable source for your claim.

Important Plagiarism Reminders

The IIE respects the intellectual property of other people and requires its students to be familiar with
the necessary referencing conventions. Please ensure that you seek assistance in this regard before
submitting work if you are uncertain.
