Critically evaluate current research literature in business process modelling.

The purpose of this assessment is for you to develop a portfolio of your thinking and work
around the discipline of business process modelling. Furthermore, you can retain your
portfolio for use as a reference tool in future courses.

Assessment task
You are to conduct a research of the Internet on the topics as listed at the start of this
assessment detail. You should review the items you find and select a minimum of 5 items for
each week and link them to your portfolio. So to start with, you need to create a portfolio on
Mahara with 5 pages (i.e. 1 page for each of the above weekly topic) and then each page
should have 5 items with a justification for each item.

The items you may include in the portfolio could be YouTube videos, clips from lectures
and/or tutorials, relevant websites and your own work that you produce in the tutorials. Your
portfolio should capture rich ideas, resources and innovative practice around business process
modelling within the frame of the five topics listed above.

In the justification, you are to write a brief discussion as to why you chose the items you did,
and why you thought the items chosen are appropriate. Your justification for each item
should be around 100 words (100 words for each item * 5 items = 500 words on each page).

You are not to upload files from the Internet, as you do not own copyright, and if you do
upload the files, this will be plagiarism. You are to use links to your items only.

Harvard referencing format and citations are to be used to substantiate your discussion.

Submission

You will use Mahara (CQU Portfolio) to gather and present each weekly portfolio.
Unfortunately, Mahara has not been fully integrated with Moodle yet, and therefore we will
use Moodle to send feedback to you on the marking.

The weekly portfolio is to be submitted by creating a Secret URL in Mahara and pasting the
URL into Moodle for marking and feedback.

Details about how to create the Secret URL are on the Moodle course site.

Note: We will be using the CQU Portfolio in the Business Analysis course that follows this
one. You might want to consider gathering items into you portfolio that you can use in future.
You can have items in your portfolio that are not shared with anyone or share a particular
view with a specific group. In this way, you can build up many different views for many
different purposes. It is not unknown for people to build a portfolio to share with prospective
employers, which is one use of your portfolio. As with your blog, please remain objective in
your evaluation of items you collect in the each of the views.

Again, unfortunately, Mahara is only available to you while studying at CQU. You can
export your portfolio when you have finished your studies or transfer it to one of many free
for use portfolios.
