Användning av molntjänster har gjort forensiska undersökningar mer komplicerade. Däremot finns det goda förutsättningar om molnleverantörerna skapar tjänster för att få ut all information. Det skulle göra det enklare och mer tillförlitligt. Informationen som ska tas ut från molntjänsterna är svår att få ut på ett korrekt sätt. Undersökningen görs inte på en skrivskyddad kopia, utan i en miljö som riskerar att förändras. Det är då möjligt att ändringar görs under tiden datan hämtas ut, vilket inte alltid syns. Det går heller inte att jämföra skillnaderna genom att ta hashsummor på filerna som görs vid forensiska undersökningar av datorer. Därför är det viktigt att dokumentera hur informationen har tagits ut, helst genom att filma datorskärmen under tiden informationen tas ut. Informationen finns sparad på flera platser då molntjänsterna Office 365 och Google Apps används, både i molnet och på den eller de datorer som har använts för att ansluta till molntjänsten. Webbläsare sparar mycket information om vad som har gjorts. Därför är det viktigt att det går att ta reda på vilka datorer som har använts för att ansluta sig till molntjänsten, vilket idag inte möjligt. Om det är möjligt att undersöka de datorer som använts kan bevis som inte finns kvar i molnet hittas. Det bästa ur forensisk synvinkel skulle vara om leverantörerna av molntjänster erbjöd en tjänst som hämtar ut all data som rör en användare, inklusive alla relevanta loggar. Då skulle det ske på ett mycket säkrare sätt, då det inte skulle gå att ändra informationen under tiden den hämtas ut. / The usage of cloud services has made forensics investigations more complicated. But there are good foundations if the cloud service providers would create services to retrieve all the information. It would make the process easier and more reliable. The most difficult part to do correctly is to download the information from the cloud services. The investigation is done in a volatile environment and not on a secured copy. It is possible that changes are made during the time the data is retrieved, which is not always visible. It is not possible to compare the differences in files with hash values, in the same way as forensic investigations of computers. That is why it is very important to document how the information is retrieved, preferably by recording the computer screen during the time the information is retrieved. The information is saved on multiple locations when the cloud services Office 365 and Google Apps are used, both in the cloud and on the computer that is being used to access the cloud. The web browser saves a lot of information of what has been done. That is why it is important to find out which computer has been used to connect to the cloud service, which is not possible today. If it would be possible to examine all the computer that have been used, evidence that is no longer in the cloud could be found, The best through a forensic angle would be if the cloud service providers offered to retrieve all data which involves a user, including all relevant logs. Then it would be possible to retrieve the data with a secure method, because it would not be possible to change the information during the retrieval.

I detta examensarbete har ett IT-verktyg utvecklats som stödjer kvalitetsutvärderingen av en ingenjörsutbildning. I dagsläget innehåller kvalitetsutvärderingen flera moment som kräver manuell hantering av data. IT-verktyget automatiserar ett flertal av momenten och detta effektiviserar arbetet genom tidsbesparing och minskad risk för misstag. Examensarbetets syfte är således att underlätta genomförandet av kvalitetsutvärderingen genom automatisering. Metoden för arbetet är en fallstudie vid en av Sveriges ingenjörsutbildningar. Metodvalet ger möjlighet till verkliga tester och evidens för att kontrollera och påvisa att det utvecklade verktyget fungerar i enlighet med de behov som finns. Resultatet av detta examensarbete är ett IT-verktyg som stödjer, underlättar, förfinar och förtydligar kvalitetsutvärdering av ingenjörsutbildning på grundnivå. Verktyget är byggt med tjänster ur Google:s utbud, där användargränssnittet utgörs av produktivitetsapplikationerna Sheets och Forms. Skriptplattformen Apps Script tillför automatisering av repetitiva moment och möjliggör att applikationerna kan sammanlänkas med en databas i molntjänsten Cloud SQL. IT-verktyget bedöms även kunna fungera för andra typer av utbildningar som kvalitetsprövas mot lärandemål och examensmål. / In this thesis an information technology tool is developed to support quality evaluation of an engineering education. Presently the quality evaluation contains several steps that require data to be handled manually. The information technology tool automates several of the steps. This leads to increased work efficiency and reduces the risk of mistakes. The purpose of the thesis is therefor to facilitate the quality evaluation through automatization. The method chosen for development is a case study conducted at a Swedish engineering program. The choice of method makes it possible to conduct tests based on an actual education program to verify and show that the developed tool is functioning correctly according to existing needs. The result of this thesis is a working information technology tool that supports, refines and concretizes quality measurement of engineering education at a bachelor level. The tool is built using services provided by Google. The productivity apps Sheets and Forms are utilized as the user interface, and used in conjunction with the scripting platform Apps Script, the apps are connected with a cloud database in the Cloud SQL service. The tool is assumed to work for other types of educations that are quality checked using intended learning outcomes and examination objectives.

Stress på arbetsplatsen relaterat till många inkommande och utgående kommunikationskanaler är ett reellt problem. Applikationer som samlar alla kanaler i samma verktyg kan hjälpa till på det här området. För att förenkla vid utveckling av en sådan applikation kan ett modulärt system skapas, där varje modul ser liknande ut och enkelt kan kopplas in i en huvudapplikation. Den här studien undersöker de problem som kan uppstå när flera tjänster ska integreras, mer specifikt genom att titta på hur en befintlig modul för e-post via Google Apps kan porteras för att stödja e-post via Microsoft Office 365. Arbetet har skett enligt metoder för testdriven portering och varje steg i porteringen har dokumenterats noggrant. Ett antal problemområden har identifierats och möjliga lösningar föreslås. Utfrån de problem som uppstått dras slutsatsen att de är av en sådan karaktär att de inte utgör något hinder för en portering.

The thesis Use of Web 2.0 technologies in education introduces the concept of Web 2.0 and its basic characteristics. The first chapter is based on the explanation of major tools and technologies labelled as Web 2.0. The second chapter deals with specific services which have already found its place in education process. The same chapter evaluates the ways of dealing with their appropriate use, particularly in higher education. This chapter contains also the examples of successful use in education. The thesis is mainly concerned about using Web 2.0 tools in the environment of Czech schools. As Web 2.0 services are not new, I asked students and teachers at the University of Economics in Prague and asked what experience they have with such instruments in their personal life, so in context of education. The third chapter is entirely devoted to survey the use of Web 2.0 tools in the practice of The University of Economics in Prague. Content of the final chapter is a reflection of what direction the web will evolve in the coming years. It also evaluates social issues associated with the turbulent development of the Internet and Web 2.0.
