WGU D579 PRACTICE EXAMINATION 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Availability.
Answer: refers to the ability to access our data when we need it. Loss of
availability can refer to a wide variety of breaks anywhere in the chain that
allows us access to our data. Such issues can result from power loss,
operating system or application problems, network attacks, compromise of a
system, or other problems. When such issues are caused by an outside party,
such as an attacker, they are commonly referred to as a denial of service
(DoS) attack.
◍ What is the difference between screening measures and progress
monitoring?.
Answer: Screening measures are appropriate for identifying which students
may be in need of additional attention, whereas progress monitoring is
appropriate for assessing how individual students are progressing.
◍ Authenticity.
Answer: Attribution as to the owner or creator of the data in
question.Authenticity can be enforced through the use of digital signatures.
◍ Alice and Charlotte are working together today to instruct the class. Alice
begins, and Charlotte interjects, and vice versa. The class enjoys this and
views both educators as important..
Answer: Team teaching,With teaming or team teaching, both teachers
deliver instruction at the same time aligned to the same instructional goal.
◍ Interruption.
Answer: Interruption attacks cause our assets to become unusable or
unavailable for our use, on a temporary or permanent basis. Interruption
attacks often affect availability but can be an attack on integrity as well. In
, the case of a DoS attack on a mail server, we would classify this as an
availability attack.Affects Integrity and availability
◍ Hash Function.
Answer: Create a largely unique and fixed-length hash value based on the
original messageHashes provide integrity, but not confidentiality. It can't
un-hash a message. Hashes are very useful when distributing files or
sending communications, as the hash can be sent with the message so that
the receiver can verify its integrity
◍ TAXONOMYSelf-regulation and executive functioning components are
part of...?.
Answer: behavioral support
◍ Biometric: Uniqueness.
Answer: Measure of how unique a particular characteristic is among
individuals
◍ Explicit Instruction.
Answer: An instructional strategy that emphasizes group instruction . The
instruction offered should include a great deal of teacher-student
interactivity.
◍ Certificates.
Answer: Link a public key to a particular individual and are often used as a
form of electronic identification for that particular person.
◍ Code-Emphasis Approach.
Answer: An approach to reading instruction in which decoding skills are
taught first, then comprehension skills
◍ The taxonomy of intervention intensity describes two stages of delivering
intensive intervention.True or FalseThree dimensions are applied in the
set-up stage before instruction begins..
Answer: False, The set-up stage is the first six dimensions: strength, dosage,
alignment, attention to transfer, comprehensiveness, and behavioral support.
,◍ Biometric: Acceptability.
Answer: A measure of how acceptable the particular characteristic is to the
users of the system
◍ Model 1: Intensified Tier 2 Instruction.
Answer: -additional time (for kids)-groups size (is it suitable for specialized
instruction and practice with feedback)-Duration (the amount of time each
day the instruction is provided)
◍ 7 Dimensions of Taxonomy of Intervention Intensity.
Answer: 1. Strength (How well the program works for students with
intensive intervention needs, expressed in terms of effect sizes)2. Dosage
(The number of opportunities a student has to respond and receive corrective
feedback)3. Alignment (how well the intervention matches the targeted
academic skills or behaviors of concern)4. Attention to transfer (The extent
to which an intervention is designed to help students (a) transfer the skills
they learn to other formats and contexts and (b) realize connections between
mastered and related skills.)5. Comprehensiveness (The number of explicit
instruction principles the intervention incorporates (e.g., providing
explanations in simple, direct language; modeling efficient solution
strategies instead of expecting students to discover strategies on their own;
providing practice so students use the strategies to generate many correct
responses; and incorporating systematic cumulative review).6. Behavioral
support (The extent to which the program incorporates (a) self-regulation
and executive function components and (b) behavioral principles to
minimize nonproductive behavior.)7. Individualization (A validated,
data-based process for individualizing intervention, in which the educator
systematically adjusts the intervention over time, in response to ongoing
progress monitoring data, to address the student's complex learning needs.)
◍ Mobile Device Management (MDM).
Answer: Remotely controls smart phones and tablets, ensuring data
securityThe toolset a corporation might use to centrally manage all cellular
phones provided to its employees
, ◍ Tier 1 Instruction.
Answer: Encompasses whole-school quality differentiated instruction and
support for all students.
◍ Tier 2 Instruction.
Answer: small groups are typically used in tier 2 of RTI, as they allow for
targeted interventions for struggling students.
◍ Asymmetric Cryptography.
Answer: Utilizes two keys: a public key and a private key. The public key is
used to encrypt data sent from the sender to the receiver and is shared with
everyone. Private keys are used to decrypt data that arrives at the receiving
end and are very carefully guarded by the receive
◍ Diagnostic Assessment.
Answer: 1. Determine why students are struggling to make progress2.
Determine the type of change that needs to be made3. Make intervention
adaptations that align with student needs
◍ There are ______ dimensions in the taxonomy?.
Answer: seven
◍ Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
Answer: Companies that process credit card payments must comply with
this set of standards
◍ Integrity.
Answer: Refers to the ability to prevent our data from being changed in an
unauthorized or undesirable manner. This could mean the unauthorized
change or deletion of our data or portions of our data, or it could mean an
authorized, but undesirable, change or deletion of our data. To maintain
integrity, we not only need to have the means to prevent unauthorized
changes to our data but also need the ability to reverse authorized changes
that need to be undone.
