Professional IT Practices Risk Mitigation

Question: Discuss about the Professional IT Practices for Risk Mitigation. Answer: Introduction: The web application developed would be used by the students all over the globe for the purpose of online learning and understanding of different topics. One of the clients deals with disable students. Different disable students have different types of disabilities such as trauma, blindness, partial blind, and physically handicapped (hands). The issues that have to be dealt while making the online application for learning are: Bulk Data Management: While designing the interface, there would be large amount of requirements that have to be managed before making the software application (Khan et al. 2013). The bulk of information would give rise to huge amount of data from the different styles of learning methods that have to be considered in the device. The bulk data processing would take lot of time and effort for the software application development. For example: Many lectures or their links from different textbooks of different subjects must be compiled on the integrated database of the software. Complex Structure: The development of the software would contain very complex structure and processing (Verner et al. 2014). The software has very large prospect for implication and requires a number of functioning for supporting the learning activities of both normal and disabled students. For example: Blind students should be provided with audio lectures to be able to understand the study materials. Compatible Issues: The testing of the online software must be done on number of compatible web platforms such as mobile or web as different students might be using different types of platforms for studying purpose.
