Answer to Question 1

The IT dashboard is a graphical user interface that organizes and summarizes information vital to the user's role and the decisions that the user makes. Portals are gateways that provide access to a variety of relevant information from many different sources on one screen. They are content aggregators, making it easier for users to view and drill down into company dashboards, weather announcements, news, traffic reports, stock reports, to-do lists, email, and discussion groups. A more flexible approach to aggregating content from multiple internal and external sources on customizable web pages is the mashup. This approach relies on Web 2.0 technologies and programming standards such as XML to blend content and updated feeds from various inside and outside sources in flexible ways.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
