Any issues with hosting and domain that can interfere with the website accessibility will be solely the responsibility of the faculty

Type of Risk: Technical

Evaluation

• Likelihood: Very low, as the hosting solution (Digital Ocean) guarantees an average up time of over 99%
• Impact: Very high, as it will completely block access to the posted materials

Mitigation Strategy

• Make sure that crucial files such as tests and quizzes are hosted in a system for which the faculty bears no individual responsibility (Blackboard)
• Make sure to use a hosting solution that ensures a very high up time probability
• Provide students with a direct IP address in case the domain service (marceljar.ca) fails

Contigency Plan

• If all else fails, the slides can be presented from the faculty's localhost and recorded as a video lecture

Some of the contracted services can have sudden price hikes

The faculty can inadvertently make changes that will cause the system to become unaccessible/unreliable

Students might find it har to navigate a new system outside of the ones already offered by the college (Blackboard)
