LESSON 1
INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGY
[EVOLUTION OF COMMUNICATION]
- COMMUNICATION HAS IMPROVED AND EVOLVED TO FACILIATE OUR

DAILY ACTIVITIES. IN THE 21ST CENTURY, EVERYTHING RELATED TO
COMMUNICATION UTLIZES TECHNOLOGY TO 'SENT OUT' OR DISSEMINATE
INFORMATION TO A WIDER AUDIENCE. INFORMATION CAN BE 'SENT OUT'
IN MANY WAYS. THE INVENTIONS OF CELLULAR PHONES, TELEVISION,
AND OTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICES ARE IMPORTANT IN ENHANCING
COMMUNICATION.
WHAT IS ICT?
- ICT IS AN ACRONYM FOR INFORMATION (READING BOOKS),

COMMUNICATION (SHARING WITH FRIENDS), TECHNOLOGY (E-MAIL
FINDINGS)
INFORMATION
- REFERS TO THE KNOWLEDGE OBTAINED FROM READING, INVESTIGATION,

STUDY OR RESEARCH
.
• INFORMATION MEANS MANY THINGS TO PEOPLE. DEPENDING ON
THE CONTEXT. SCIENTIFICALLY, INFORMATION IS A PROCESSED
DATA. INFORMATION CAN BE LOOSELY DEFINED AS THAT WHICH
AIDS DECISION-MAKING. INFORMATION, THROUGH ABSTRACT,
COULD ALSO BE VISUALIZED AS A COMMODITY, WHICH COULD BE
OR SOLID.
• A PROCESS OF A TRANSFERRING OF INFORMATION, IDEAS,

THOUGHTS, AND MESSAGES. IT INVOLVES A SENDER, A RECEIVER,
A CODE, AND A LANGUAGE THAT IS UNDERSTOOD BY BOTH THE
SENDER AND RECEIVER.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
COMMUNICATION
- REFERS TO THE TRANSFER OR EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION FROM

PERSON TO PERSON OR FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. WHEN ACTION
PRODUCE A REACTION, WHETHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE,
COMMUNICATION HAS TAKEN PLACE.
- ANY POTENTIALLY USEFUL FACT, QUANTITY OR VALUE THAT CAN

BE EXPRESSED UNIQUELY WITH EXACTNESS. INFORMATION IS
WHATEVER IS CAPABLE OF CAUSING A HUMAN MID TO CHANGE ITS
OPINION ABOUT THE CURRENT STATE OF THE WORLD.
TECHNOLOGY
- REFERS TO THE USE OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE TO INVENT TOOLS THAT

ASSIST HUMAN BEINGS IN THEIR EFFORTS TO OVERCOME
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS AND IMPEDIMENTS TO COMFORT.
- IN THIS REGARD, TECHNOLOGY REFERS TO THE THINGS LIKE

COMPUTER, TELEPHONE, CELLPHONE, GSM HANDSETS, TELEVISION,
RADIO, ETC.
PUT TOGETHER, THEREFORE, ICT HAS BEEN DEFINED AS:
- THE ACQUISITION, ANALYSIS, MANIPULATION, STORAGE AND

DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION; AND THE DESIGN AND PROVISION OF
EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE.
- ICT IS THE ABBREVIATION FOR INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION

TECHNOLOGY.
- ICT IS AN UMBRELLA TERM USED TO ENCOMPASS ALL RAPIDLY

EMERGING, EVOLVING AND CONVERGING COMPUTER, SOFTWARE,
NETWORKING, TELECOMMUNICATIONS, INTERNET, PROGRAMMING AND
INFORMATION SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
COMPONENTS OF ICT
1. SOFTWARE
- COMPUTER SOFTWARE, THE USER USES THIS TO PERFORMS

SPECIFIC TASKS.
2. HARDWARE
- PHYSICAL COMPONENTS IN A COMPUTER OR PERIPHERALS.
3. TRANSACTION
- ONLINE SYSTEMS OF PURCHASING ITEMS.
4. COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY
- REFERS TO ALL EQUIPMENT AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE USED

TO PROCESS AND COMMUNICATE INFORMATION.
PROFESSIONALS IN THE COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
FIELD SPECIALIZE IN THE DEVELOPMENT, INSTALLATION,
AND SERVICE OF THESE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
SYSTEMS.
5. DATA OR INFORMATION
- CONVERTED DATA WHICH GIVES IT MEANING.
6. INTERNET ACCESS
- ABILITY OF INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO CONNECT

TO THE INTERNET USING COMPUTER TERMINALS,
COMPUTERS, AND OTHER DEVICES.
7. CLOUD COMPUTING
- DELIVERY OF DIFFERENT SERVICES THROUGH THE INTERNET.

ALL FILES ARE SAVED ON THE CLOUD.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
STATE OF ICT
WORLD WIDE WEB
- WWW IS AN INFORMATION SPACE WHERE DOCUMENTS AND OTHER WEB

RESOURCES ARE IDENTIFIED BY UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATORS (URL),
INTERLINKED BY HYPERTEXTS LINKS, AND CAN BE ACCESSED VIA THE
INTERNET.
1. WEB 1.0
- IT IS A TERM COINED TO DIFFERENTIATE THE FIRST STAGE OF THE

WORLD WIDE WEB (WWW) IN COMPARISON WITH THE PRESENT
STAGE OF THE INTERNET TECHNOLOGY.
- AT THE BEGINNING, THERE WERE FEW WEB CONTENT CREATORS.
ILOOK
- WEB PAGES WERE STATIC AND WERE CALLED READ ONLY WEB. WE CAN
ONLY READ THE INFORMATION, QUESTIONS ARE SENT ON PRIVATE E-
MAILS, UNLIKE WITH TODAY'S METHODS OF COMMENTING ON THE POSTS.
- THE ONLY AVAILABLE FEEDBACK MECHANISM WAS THROUGH PRIVATE

EMAILS.
2. WEB 2.0
- APPS AS CENTRALIZED KNOWLEDGE. GOOGLE DRIVE IS THE MAIN

ONLINE STORAGE SYSTEM. COMMUNICATIONS INCLUDE SKYPE
AND OTHER MEDIAS.
- THE TERM WEB 2.0 WAS FIRST USED AROUND 2004.
- INTERNET TECHNOLOGY BECAME MORE AND MORE INTERACTIVE.

IT IS NOW KNOWN AS READ, WRITE WEB WHERE PEOPLE ARE SET
TO INTERACT WITH OTHER USERS.
IPARTICIPATE
- THE INTERNET BECAME MORE AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE.
- THE USERS CAN NOW INTERACT, CONTRIBUTE, AND CREATE THEIR

OWN INTERNET SPACE AND CONTENT (EXPLOSION OF
INFORMATION & SOCIAL MEDIA).

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
3. WEB 3.0
- APPS AS CENTRALIZED KNOWLEDGE. STORJ IS THE ONLINE

STORAGE SYSTEM.
- IT IS DESCRIBED BY TIM BERNERS-LEE (FAHER OF THE WWW) AS

THE READ-WRITE-EXECUTE WEB.
- IT IS REFERRED TO AS THE SEMANTIC WEB OR DATA DRIVEN WEB

CONTENT AND RESPONSE.
READ, WRITE, EXECUTE WEB
- WHERE COMPUTERS CAN INTERPRET DATA WITHOUT THE SUPPORT

OF A HUMAN.
- THE CONTEXT OF THE SEARCH OF THE USER IS PROCESSED BY A

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE TO HELP THE USER BY REPRESENTING
OPTIONS OF WHAT THE PERSON IS INTERESTED IN.
WEB 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 SUMMARY
1. WEB 1 - "I LOOK", ONLY ALLOWS USER TO SEARCH FOR INFORMATION

AND READ IT. QUESTIONS OR CLARIFICATIONS ARE SENT THROUGH
PRIVATE EMAILS INSTEAD OF COMMENTS. "READ ONLY WEB" .
EXAMPLES ARE SHOPPING CART APPLICATIONS SINCE E-COMMERCE
ONLY USE IT FOR PRESENTING THEIR PRODUCTS.
2. WEB 2 - "I PARTICIPATE", "READ WRITE WEB", ABILITY OF THE USER IS

TO CONTRIBUTE CONTENT AND INTERACT WITH OTHER WEB USERS.
EXAMPLES ARE YOUTUBE, BLOGGING, TWITTER, FACEBOOK, SKYPE,
PINTEREST, AND MYSPACE BECAUSE THEIR CONTENTS RELY ON THE
UPLOADED CONTENT OF THE USER.
3. WEB 3 - "READ WRITE EXECUTE WEB", INTERNET TECHNOLOGY

HEAVILY RELIES ON THE USE OF MACHINE LEARNING AND ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE. COMPUTERS CAN INTERPRET INFORMATION LIKE
HUMANS' INTELLIGENCE. EXAMPLES ARE BRAVE, APPS ARE CALLED
DAPPS (DECENTRALIZED APPLICATION), IPFS/STORJ INSTEAD OF
GOOGLE DRIVE, EXPERTEE (?) INSTEAD OF SKYPE.

LESSON 2
EMPOWERMENT TECHNOLOGIES
ONLINE SAFETY, SECURITY, ETHICS AND
ETIQUETTE
ONLINE SAFETY OR INTERNET SAFETY
- IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF MAXIMIZING THE USER'S PERSONAL SAFETY

AGAINST SECURITY RISKS TO PRIVATE INFORMATION AND PROPERTY
ASSOCIATED WITH USING THE INTERNET, AND THE SELF-PROTECTION
FROM COMPUTER CRIME IN GENERAL. IT IS SIMPLY A PROCESS.
- INTERNET IS DEFINED AS THE INFORMATION SUPER HIGHWAY. IT MEANS

THAT ANYONE CAN ACCESS THIS HIGHWAY TO PLACE AND GRAB
INFORMATION.
ONLINE SECURITY
- IS AN EXTENSIVE TERM ENCOMPASSING A SERIES OF STEPS THAT

COMPANIES AND INDIVIDUALS TAKE TO GUARD ALL NETWORKS AND
COMPUTERS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET. WHETHER IT'S A PERSONAL
EMAIL MESSAGE OR AN ONLINE PURCHASE, DATA SENT OVER THE
INTERNET CAN COMPROMISE YOUR ONLINE SAFETY. IT IS SIMPLY THE
RULES.
ONLINE ETIQUETTE
- IS THE CORRECT OR ACCEPTABLE WAY OF COMMUNICATING OR

BEHAVING ON THE INTERNET.
- IT FOCUSES ON THE ACCEPTABLE USE OF ONLINE RESOURCES WHICH HAS

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF INTERNET ETHICS.
1. THOU SHALT NOT USE A COMPUTER TO HARM OTHER PEOPLE.
2. THOU SHALT NOT INTERFERE WITH OTHER PEOPLE'S COMPUTER

WORK.
3. THOU SHALT NOT SNOOP AROUND IN OTHER PEOPLE'S COMPUTER
FILES.
4. THOU SHALT NOT USE A COMPUTER TO STEAL.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
5. THOU SHALT NOT USE A COMPUTER TO BEAR FALSE WITNESS.
6. THOU SHALT NOT COPY OR USE PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE FOR WHICH

YOU HAVE NOT PAID.
7. THOU SHALT NOT USE OTHER PEOPLE'S COMPUTER RESOURCES

WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION OR PROPER COMPENSATION.
8. THOU SHALT NOT APPROPRIATE OTHER PEOPLE'S INTELLECTUAL
OUTPUT.
9. THOU SHALT THINK ABOUT THE SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE

PROGRAM YOU ARE WRITING OR THE SYSTEM YOU ARE DESIGNING.
10. THOU SHALT ALWAYS USE A COMPUTER IN WAYS THAT ENSURE

CONSIDERATION AND RESPECT FOR YOUR FELLOW HUMANS.
ONLINE SAFETY AND SECURITY
- EVEN THOUGH COMPUTERS HAVE BECOME A CONSTANT FEATURE OF

MODERN LIFE, MANY PEOPLE STILL DON'T REALIZE THE ENORMOUSE
RISKS THAT COME FROM CONSTANT INTERACTION WITH TECHNOLOGY.
THIS PRESENTATION WILL DISCUSS THE DIFFERENT DANGERS AND RISK
IN USING THE COMPUTER AND THE INTERNET.
DANGER IN THE INTERNET
1. EMAIL SPAM
- ALSO KNOWN AS JUNK MAIL
- USUALLY UNSOLICITED COMMERCIAL EMAIL SENT FROM AN

UNKNOWN SOURCE WITH IDENTICAL MESSAGE SENT TO MULTIPLE
RECIPIENTS.
- USUALLY NOT DANGEROUS BUT CAN BE TIME AND SPACE

CONSUMING.
- TO AVOID JUNK MAILS, YOU CAN BLOCK THE OBVIOUS SPAMMERS

OR YOU CAN USE THE SPAM FILTER OR REPORT THE SPAM
MESSAGES. THE FINAL RESORT IS TO CHANGE YOUR EMAIL.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
2. EMAIL SPOOFING
- SPOOF IS SIMPLY THE IMMITATION OR FAKING OF AN ORIGINAL.
- IT IS A DECEITFUL EMAIL PRACTICE IN WHICH THE SENDER

ADDRESS IS CHANGED, SO THAT IT WOULD APPEAR TO HAVE COME
FROM A DIFFERENT SOURCE WHICH IS USUALLY SOMEONE YOU
KNOW.
- EMAIL SPOOFING IS USUALLY USED BY SPAMMERS TO HIDE THE

ORIGIN OF THE SPAM.
- TO AVOID, USE EMAIL AUTHENTICATION METHODS.
3. PHISHING
- IT IS A DECEITFUL PRACTICE OF TRYING TO GET CONFIDENTIAL

INFORMATION SUCH AS PASSWORDS AND USERNAMES, AND
CREDIT CARD DETAILS BY MAKING IT APPEAR AS IF IT COMES
FROM A TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE.
- IT IS USUALLY DONE THROUGH EMAILS OR USING POPULAR ENTITY

SUCH AS MICROSOFT, YAHOO, GOOGLE, AMAZON, AND FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS.
4. SPYWARE
- A COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT IS INSTALLED COVERTLY ON A

PERSONAL COMPUTER TO COLLECT INFORMATION OR EVEN TAKE
CONTROL OVER THE COMPUTER WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF
THE USER.
- IT CAN MONITOR AND COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT THE USER'S

INTERNET HABITS AND PRACTICES.
- IT CAN ALSO AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE AND SETTING OF THE

COMPUTER.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
5. COMPUTER WORM
- IT IS A DANGEROUS COMPUTER PROGRAM THAT REPLICATES

ITSELF THROUGH A NETWORK.
- SOME WORMS DELETE FILES, OTHERS DISRUPT THE NETWORK

FUNCTION.
- IT IS USUALLY SPREAD THROUGH EMAIL AND RUNNING OF
- ATTACHMENTS FROM SUSPICIOUS SOURCES
- IT SPREADS BY EXPLOITING WEAKNESSES IN OPERATING SYSTEMS.
- THE BIGGEST DANGER WITH A WORM IS ITS CAPABILITY TO

REPLICATE ITSELF ON YOUR SYSTEM, SO RATHER THAN YOUR
COMPUTER SENDING OUT A SINGLE WORM, IT COULD SEND OUT
HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF COPIES OF ITSELF, CREATING A
HUGE DEVASTATING EFFECT.
6. TROJAN HORSE
- A MALWARE FRONTING TO PERFORM A GOOD TASK, BUT

COVERTLY PERFORMS UNDESIRABLE FUNCTION WITH THE
INTENTION OF ENTERING THE COMPUTER WITHOUT THE USER'S
CONSENT.
- IT CAN DISABLE THE COMPUTER'S DEFENSES, OPENING IT TO

UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY. IT CAN ERASE DATA AND CORRUPT FILES.
- THE TROJAN HORSE, AT FIRST GLANCE, WILL APPEAR TO BE A

USEFUL SOFTWARE BUT WILL ACTUALLY DO DAMAGE ONCE
INSTALLED OR RUN ON YOUR COMPUTER.
7. COMPUTER VIRUS
- IT IS A PROGRAM THAT DUPLICATES ITSELF AND THEN INFECTS THE

COMPUTER. IT SPREADS LIKE A BIOLOGICAL VIRUS.
- IT CAN BE TRANSFERRED BY THE USE OF REMOVABLE STORAGE

MEDIA DEVICES.
- DAMAGES MAY BE MILD TO SEVERE.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
- IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT A VIRUS CANNOT BE SPREAD

WITHOUT HUMAN ACTION (SUCH AS RUNNING AN INFECTED
PROGRAM) TO KEEP IT GOING. BECAUSE A VIRUS IS SPREAD BY
HUMAN ACTION, PEOPLE WILL UNKNOWNINGLY CONTINUE THE
SPREAD OF A COMPUTER VIRUS BY SHARING INFECTING FILES OR
SENDING EMAILS WITH VIRUSES AS ATTACHMENT IN THE EMAIL.
8. COMPUTER HACKER
- THIS IS A PERSON WHO IS ABLE TO ENTER AND CONTROL OTHER

PEOPLE'S COMPUTER WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION.
- USUALLY VANDALIZES THE VICTIM'S WEBSITE, STEALS PERSONAL

INFORMATION, OBTAINS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, AND
PERFORMS CREDIT CARD FRAUD.
- FIREWALLS ARE ABLE TO PREVENT ENTRY BY HACKERS.
CURRENT ISSUES IN INTERNET RISK
1. UBER HACKING: EXPOSING DATA OF 57M USERS AND DRIVERS
- UBER CONCEALED A MASSIVE GLOBAL BREACH OF THE PERSONAL

INFORMATION OF 57 MILLION CUSTOMERS AND DRIVERS IN
OCTOBER 2016, FAILING TO NOTIFY THE INDIVIDUALS AND
REGULATORS. THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGED INFORMED THE
PUBLIC MORE THAN A YEAR AFTER THE EVENT.
- UBER ALSO CONFIRMED IT HAD PAID THE HACKERS RESPONSIBLE

$100,000 TO DELETE THE DATA AND KEEP THE BREACH QUIET.
2. JR SMITH CLAIMS HE WAS HACKED AFTER 'GOOD BYE CAVS!' POST

ON FACEBOOK
- JR SMITH MAY WANT TO THINK ABOUT CHANGING HIS SOCIAL

MEDIA PASSWORDS SOON AFTER CLAIMING ONCE AGAIN TO HAVE
BEEN HACKED - THIS TIME ON FACEBOOK.
- AMIDST THE NBA OFFSEASON FRENZY AND TRADE SPECULATIONS,

THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS GUARD ONCE AGAIN STOLE THE
LIMELIGHT AFTER POSTING A 'GOOD BYE CAVS!!' STATUS ON HIS
FACEBOOK PAGE ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
LESSON 3
APPLIED PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS WITH
ADVANCED APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
MAIL MERGE
- IS ADDING PERSONALIZED INFORMATION INTO LETTERS AND ENVELOPS

WHEN THEY ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED AND IS DONE THROUGH A
DATABASE. THIS WHOLE PROCEDURE IS USUALLY AUTOMATED.
FORM DOCUMENT
- IS GENERALLY THE DOCUMENT THAT CONTAINS THE MAIN BODY OF THE

MESSAGE WE WANT TO CONVEY OR SEND. LIST OR DATA FILE IS WHERE
THE INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION OR DATA THAT NEEDS TO BE PLUGGED IN
(MERGED) TO THE FORM DOCUMENT IS PLACED AND MAINTAINED.
PROS & CONS
PROS
- IS EASY TO PRODUCE HUNDREDS OF LETTERS.
CONS
- THESE LETTERS ARE NOT PERSONALIZED TO THE PERSON THEY ARE

BEING SENT TO.
- THE DATABASE WOULD NEED CONSTANT MAINTENANCE TO ENSURE

THAT IT IS UP TO DATE.
LABEL GENERATION
- MS WORD IS ABLE TO PRINT OUT WHATEVER YOUR REQUIREMENTS YOU

HAVE FOR THE LABEL, WHETHER IT BE SINGLE LABEL, TONS OF
IDENTICAL LABELS, OR PILES OF DIFFERENT LABELS.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
COMPONENTS OF MAIL MERGE
FORM DOCUMENT
- OUR SAMPLE LETTER ABOVE IS WHAT WE CALL A FORM DOCUMENT - THE

FIRST COMPONENT OF OUR MAIL MERGED DOCUMENT. IT IS GENERALLY
THE DOCUMENT THAT CONTAINS THE MAIN BODY OF THE MESSAGE WE
WANT TO CONVEY OR SEND. THE MAIN BODY OF THE MESSAGE IS THE
PART OF THE FORM THAT REMAINS THE SAME NO MATTER WHOM YOU
SEND IT TO FROM AMONG YOUR LIST.
- ALSO INCLUDED IN THE FORM DOCUMENT IS WHAT WE CALL PLACE

HOLDERS, ALSO REFERRED TO AS DATA FIELDS OR MERGE FIELDS. THIS
MARKS THE POSITION ON YOUR FORM DOCUMENT WHEN INDIVIDUAL
DATA OR INFORMATION WILL BE INSERTED. FROM OUR SAMPLE
DOCUMENT, THE PLACE HOLDERS ARE DENOTED OR MARKED BY THE
TEXT WITH DOUBLE-HEADED ARROWS OR EACH SIDE AND WITH A GRAY
BACKGROUND. ON A PRINTED STANDARD FORM, THIS WILL BE THE
UNDERLINED SPACES THAT YOU WILL SEE AND USE AS A GUIDE TO
WHERE YOU NEED TO WRITE THE INFROMATION THAT YOU NEED TO FILL
OUT. IN ITS SIMPLEST FORM, A FORM DOCUMENT IS YOUR REGULAR TAX
FORM OR APPLICATION FORM. THEN THERE IS ALSO A FORM LETTER
WHICH IS EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE IN OUR EXAMPLE ABOVE.
LIST OR DATA FILE
- THE SECOND COMPONENT OF OUR MAIL MERGED DOCUMENT IS THE LIST

OR DATA FILE. THIS IS WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL INFORMATION OR DATA
THAT NEEDS TO BE PLUGGED IN (MERGED) TO THE FORM DOCUMENT IS
PLACED AND MAINTAINED. ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT THE MAIL
MERGE FEATURE IS THAT IT ALLOWS DATA FILE TO BE CREATED FROM
WITHIN THE MICROSOFT WORD APPLICATION ITSELF, OR IT GETS DATA
FROM A FILE CREATED IN MICROSOFT EXCEL OR OTHER DATA FORMATS.
IN THIS WAY, FIELDS THAT NEEDED TO BE FILLED UP ON THE FORM
DOCUMENT CAN EASILY BE MAINTAINED WITHOUT ACCIDENTALLY
ALTERING THE FORM OR THE MAIN DOCUMENT. YOU CAN EASILY ADD,
REMOVE, MODIFY, OR EXTRACT YOUR DATA MORE EFFICIENTLY BY
USING OTHER DATA MANAGEMENT APPLICATION LIKE EXCEL OR ACCESS
AND IMPORT THEM IN WORD DURING THE MAIL MERGE PROCESS.
SETTINGS
1. INTEGRATING IMAGES AND EXTERNAL MATERIALS
- INTEGRATING OR INSERTING PICTURES IN YOUR DOCUMENTS IS

FUN AND IMPROVES THE IMPRESSION OF YOUR DOCUMENT. A

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
COMMON USE OF INSERTING PICTURES ON A DOCUMENT IS WHEN

YOU ARE CREATING YOUR RESUME. THOUGH SEEMINGLY SIMPLE
TO DO, YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF
MATERIALS THAT YOU CAN INSERT OR INTEGRATE IN A WORD
DOCUMENT AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS CAN HELP YOU CREATE A
MORE EFFICIENT, RICHER DOCUMENT NOT ONLY IN CONTENT, BUT
ALSO IN PHYSICAL FORM. A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE
PHYSICAL FORM OF DOCUMENTS AS WELL AS THE DIFFERENT
MATERIALS YOU INTEGRATE IN IT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO BE MORE
EFFICIENT AND VERSATILE IN USING MICROSOFT WORD.
- LET US CONSIDER THE INTERESTING ASPECTS OF INSERTING OR

INTEGRATING IMAGES AND OTHER EXTERNAL MATERIALS WHICH
IS CATEGORIZED AS AN ADVANCED FEATURE.
2. IMAGE PLACEMENT
- IN PRACTICE, INSERTING AN IMAGE OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL IN

YOUR DOCUMENT IS QUITE EASY ESPECIALLY IF THE MATERIAL
ALREADY EXISTS IN YOUR LOCAL STORAGE DEVICE. IT IS JUST A
MATTER OF OPENING UP THE IMAGE FILE THROUGH THE
MICROSOFT WORD DIALOG BOX OR WIZARD. SOMETIMES, IF THE
IMAGE YOU WOULD LIKE TO INSERT IS ON A WEB PAGE CURRENTLY
DISPLAYED ON YOUR SCREEN, IT COULD BE COPIED AND PASTED.
THE REAL CHALLENGE IS WHERE TO PUT THE IMAGE YOU INSERTED
OR WHERE TO MOVE IT. IN THIS PART OF THE LESSON, WE WILL
STUDY THE DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS OF TEXT WRAPPING
OPTIONS THAT YOU CAN USE WITH THE IMAGE YOU INTEGRATED IN
YOUR DOCUMENT.
3. IN LINE WITH TEXT
- THIS IS THE DEFAULT SETTING FOR IMAGES THAT ARE INSERTED OR

INTEGRATED IN YOUR DOCUMENT. IT TREATS YOUR IMAGE LIKE A
TEXT FONT WITH THE BOTTOM SIDE TOTALLY ALIGNED WITH THE
TEXT LINE. THIS SETTING IS USUALLY USED WHEN YOU NEED TO
PLACE YOUR IMAGE AT THE BEGINNING OF A PARAGRAPH. WHEN
PLACED BETWEEN TEXTS IN A PARAGRAPH OR SENTENCE, IT
DISTORTS THE OVERALL APPEARANCE AND ARRANGEMENT OF
TEXTS IN THE PARAGRAPH BECAUSE IT WILL TAKE UP THE SPACE IT
NEEDS VERTICALLY PUSHING WHOLE LINES OF TEXTS UPWARD.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
4. SQUARE
- THIS SETTING ALLOWS THE IMAGE YOU INSERTED TO BE PLACED

WITHIN THE PARAGRAPH WITH TEXT GOING AROUND THE IMAGE IN
A SQUARE PATTERN LIKE A FRAME.
5. TIGHT
- THIS IS ALMOST THE SAME AS THE SQUARE SETTING, BUT HERE,

THE TEXT HUGS OR CONFORMS TO THE GENERAL SHAPE OF THE
IMAGE. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO GET A MORE CREATIVE EFFECT ON
YOUR DOCUMENT. THIS SETTING CAN MOSTLY BE ACHIEVED IF
YOU ARE USING AN IMAGE THAT SUPPORTS TRANSPARENCY LIKE A
.GIF AND .PNG FILE.
6. THROUGH
- IN THIS SETTING, THE TEXT ON YOUR DOCUMENT TO FLOW EVEN

TIGHTER, TAKING THE CONTOURS AND SHAPE OF THE IMAGE.
AGAIN, THIS CAN BE BEST USED WITH .GIF AND .PNG TYPE OF
IMAGE.
7. TOP AND BOTTOM
- THIS SETTING PUSHES THE TEXTS AWAY VERTICALLY THE TOP

AND/OR THE BOTTOM OF THE IMAGE SO THAT THE IMAGE OCCUPIES
A WHOLE TEXT LINE ON ITS OWN.
8. BEHIND TEXT
- THIS ALLOWS YOUR IMAGE TO BE DRAGGED AND PLACED

ANYWHERE ON YOUR DOCUMENT BUT WITH ALL THE TEXT
FLOATING IN FRONT OF IT. IT EFFECTIVELY MAKES YOUR IMAGE
LOOK LIKE A BACKGROUND.
9. IN FRONT OF TEXT
- AS IT SUGGEST, THIS SETTING ALLOWS YOUR IMAGE TO BE PLACED

RIGH TON TOP OF THE TEXT YOU PLACED THE IMAGE ON, IT WILL
BE COVERED BY THE IMAGE.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703

FORMULA IN CELL D2 BELOW. CELL D2 REFERENCES (POINTS TO)
CELL B2 AND CELL C2. BOTH REFERENCES ARE RELATIVE.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
ABSOLUTE REFERENCE
- TO CREATE AN ABSOLUTE REFERENCE TO CELL H3, PLACE A $

SYMBOL IN FRONT OF THE COLUMN LETTER AND ROW NUMBER OF
CELL H3 ($H$3) IN THE FORMULA OF CELL E3.
MIXED REFERENCE
- SOMETIMES, WE NEED A COMBINATION OF RELATIVE AND

ABSOLUTE REFERENCE (MIXED REFERENCE).
VLOOKUP
- THE VLOOKUP (VERTICAL LOOKUP) FUNCTION LOOKS FOR A VALUE

IN THE LEFTMOST COLUMN OF A TABLE, AND THEN RETURNS A
VALUE IN THE SAME ROW FROM ANOTHER COLUMN YOU SPECIFY.
HLOOKUP
- IN A SIMILAR WAY, YOU CAN USE HLOOKUP (HORIZONTAL LOOKUP)

FUNCTION.
MATCH
- THE MATCH FUNCTION RETURNS THE POSITION OF A VALUE IN A

GIVEN RANGE.

LESSON 4
IMAGING AND DESIGN FOR THE ONLINE
ENVIRONMENT
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GRAPHIC AND LAYOUT
1. BALANCE
- BALANCE IS THE EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF THE VISUAL WEIGHT OF

OBJECTS, TEXTURE, COLORS, AND SPACE ON THE SCREEN. BALANCE
GIVES A LAYOUT IT'S FORM AND STABILITY. BEING BALANCE
DOESN'T MEAN EVERYTHING SHOULD BE THE SAME SIZE OR SHAPE.
A GRAPHIC LAYOUT CAN EITHER BE SYMMETRICAL OR
ASYMMETRICAL. SYMMETRY MEANS EVERYTHING IS EVENLY
BALANCED WHILE ASYMMENTRY IS USING CONSTRASTS TO EVEN
OUT BOTH SIDES.
2. EMPHASIS
- EMPHASIS IS AN AREA IN A DESIGN THAT DIFFERS IN STYLE TO

ATTRACT THE VIEWER'S ATTENTION.
3. MOVEMENT
- MOVEMENT IS THE VISUAL ELEMENTS THAT GUIDE THE VIEWER'S

EYES AROUND THE SCREEN.
4. RHYTHM
- RHYTHM IS THE REPEATING ELEMENTS IN AN IMAGE OR LAYOUT

TO CREATE UNITY AND ORGANIZATION.
5. ALIGNMENT
- ALIGNMENT, ALIGNING OBJECS PROPERLY WILL CLEAN UP A

DESIGN AND REMOVE SLOPPINESS AND MESSINESS THAT OCCUR
WHEN ELEMENTS ARE PLACED RANDOMLY. IT HELPS CREATE A
SHARP, ORDERED, APPEARANCE BY ENSURING THE ELEMENTS
HAVE A PLEASING CONNECTION WITH EACH OTHER.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
- THE TEXT, SHAPE, AND IMAGE HAVE BEEN LINED UP IN THE

MIDDLE, CREATING AN 'ALIGNMENT.'
6. HIERARCHY
- HIERARCHY IS WHEN YOU HAVE MULTIPLE ELEMENTS IN A

DESIGN, YOU IDENTIFY THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS AND GIVE
EMPHASIS TO THEM. IT CAN BE DONE IN A NUMBER OF WAYS LIKE
BIGGER FONTS OR BOLDER COLORS
- IN THIS DESIGN, YOU CAN EASILY POINT OUT THE HEADING, DATE,
SHAPES, IMAGE, AND THE TEXT AT THE BOTTOM.
7. CONTRAST
- CONTRAST HAPPENS WHEN TWO DESIGN ELEMENTS ARE IN

OPPOSITION TO EACH OTHER, LIKE BLACK AND WHITE, THICK AND
THIN, MODERN AND TRADITIONAL, ETC. CONTRAST IS WHAT HELPS
GUIDE THE VIEWER'S EYES TO THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF
YOUR DESIGN AND HELPS ORGANIZE THE INFORMATION IN AN
EASILY DIGESTIBLE MANNER.
- THIS IMAGE HAS BEEN DARKENED TO ALLOW THE TEXT TO CREATE

A SHARP CONTRAST AGAINST THE BACKGROUND.
8. PROPORTION
- PROPORTION, VISUAL ELEMENTS CREATE A SENSE OF UNITY

WHERE THEY RELATE WELL WITH ONE ANOTHER. IT MEANS EQUAL.
9. PROXIMITY
- PROXIMITY IS ALSO HELPFUL IN CREATING ORGANIZATION ON A

PAGE, SINCE SIMILAR OR RELATED ELEMENTS HOULD BE GROUPED
TOGETHER TO CREATE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEM. IDEALLY,
YOU MIGHT CLUSTER THE ELEMENTS TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT
HELPS TO DECLUTTER THE OVERALL DESIGN.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
10. COLOR
- COLOR IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF DESIGN AND SHOULD BE

CONSIDERED CAREFULLY EACH TIME YOU START A NEW DESIGN.
COLORS ARE LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DICTATING THE MOOD OF
A DESIGN - EACH COLOR HAS SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT TO
SAY. GREEN TENDS TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK OF NON-PROFITS OR
THE ENVIRONMENT, WHILE RED CAUSES STORMY EMOTIONS LIKE
ANGER, BLUE IS MORE CALMING AND PASSIVE, AND YELLOW
CREATES A SENSATION OF HAPPINESS.
11. SPACE
- SPACE, THE PARTS OF YOUR DESIGN YOU CHOOSE TO LEAVE

BLANK ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE ONES YOU'RE FILLING
WITH COLORS, TEXT, AND IMAGES. NEGATIVE SPACE CREATES
SHAPE AND CAN HELP HIGHLIGHT THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECES OF
INFORMATION IN YOUR DESIGN. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE
POWER OF SIMPLICITY.
12. VARIETY
- VARIETY USES SEVERAL VISUAL DESIGN ELEMENTS TO DRAW A

VIEWER'S ATTENTION.
INFORMATION GRAPHICS OR INFOGRAPHICS
- ARE GRAPHIC VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS OF INFORMATION, DATA, OR

KNOWLEDGE INTENDED TO PRESENT INFORMATION QUICKLY AND
CLEARLY. IT IS THE COMBINATION OF INFORMATION (IN TEXT FORM) AND
IMAGES.
CREATING AN INFOGRAPHIC USING PIKTOCHART
- PIKTOCHART IS AN EASY-TO-USE INFOGRAPHIC MAKER APP. IT HAS A

SIMPLE YET PROFESSIONAL INTERFACE THAT WOULD MAKE IT EASY TO
MAKE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DO.
ONLINE IMAGE FILE FORMATS
1. JOINT PHOTOGRAPHICS EXPERTS GROUP (.JPEG OR .JPG)
- USED IN REAL-LIFE PHOTOGRAPHS; HIGH COMPRESSION
- DOESN'T SUPPORT TRANSPARENCY AND ANIMATION

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
2. GRAPHICS INTERCHANGE FORMAT (GIF)
- USED IN COMPUTER-GENERATED GRAPHICS
- SUPPORTS TRANSPARENCY AND ANIMATION
3. PORTABLE NETWORK GRAPHICS (PNG)
- USED IN SCREENSHOTS; HIGH COMPATIBILITY
- SUPPORTS TRANSPERENCY BUT DOESN'T SUPPORT ANIMATION
PRINCIPLES AND BASIC TECHNIQUES OF IMAGE MANIPULATION
1. CHOOSE THE RIGHT FILE FORMAT.
2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT IMAGE SIZE.
3. CAPTION IT.
IMAGE MANIPULATION USING GIMP
- GIMP HAS A DIVERSE ASSORTMENT OF TOOLS THAT LET YOU PERFORM A

LARGE VARIETY OF TASKS. THE TOOLS CAN BE THOUGHT OF AS FALLING
INTO FIVE CATEGORIES:
1. SELECTION TOOLS
- WHICH SPECIFY OR MODIFY THE PORTION OF THE IMAGE THAT

WILL BE AFFECTED BY SUBSEQUENT ACTIONS.
2. PAINT TOOLS
- WHICH ALTER THE COLORS IN SOME PART OF THE IMAGE.
3. TRANSFORM TOOLS
- WHICH ALTER THE GEOMETRY OF THE IMAGE.
4. COLOR TOOLS
- WHICH ALTER THE DISTRIBUTION OF COLORS ACROSS THE ENTIRE

IMAGE.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
5. OTHER TOOLS
- WHICH DON'T FALL INTO THE OTHER FOUR CATEGORIES.
3D MODELING USING GOOGLE SKETCH UP
- SKETCHUP, FORMERLY KNOWN AS GOOGLE SKETCHUP, IS A 3D MODELING

COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR A WIDE RANGE OF DRAWING APPLICATIONS
SUCH AS ARCHITECTURAL, INTERIOR, DESIGN, LANDSCAPE
ARCHITECTURE, CIVIL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING, FILM, AND
VIDEO GAME DESIGN.
INSERTING, UPLOADING, AND SHARING PHOTOS OVER THE INTERNET
- WITH SOCIAL MEDIA, SHARING PHOTOS IS EASIER TO DO ON THE NET

RIGHT NOW. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO KEEP THE SOCIAL MEDIA PHOTOS
YOU HAVE AND THE PHOTOS YOU HAVE OVER THE INTERNET SEPARATED.
IMGUR
- IS AN ONLINE IMAGE SHARING COMMUNITY AND IMAGE HOST FOUNDED

BY ALAN SHAAF.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
LESSON 5
ONLINE PLATFORM AS TOOLS FOR ICT
CONTENT DEVELOPMENT
ONLINE MARKETPLACE
- THAT PLACES ONE PARTY IN TOUCH WITH ANOTHER, SUCH AS BUYERS

AND SELLERS. EXAMPLES ARE EBAY, CRAGISLIST, AMAZON
MARKETPLACE, AIRBNB, AND UBER. THE ONLINE SYSTEM MAY BE
ENTIRELY SELF-CONTAINED, OR IT MAY ALLOW THIRD-PARTY APPS TO
CONNECT VIA THE PLATFORM'S PROGRAMMING INTERFACE (API).
WHAT ARE ONLINE PLATFORMS AND WHY THEY ARE IMPORTANT
- ONLINE PLATFORMS COVER A WIDE RANGE OF ACTIVITIES INCLUDING

ONLINE ADVERTISING PLATFORMS, MARKETPLACES, SEARCH ENGINES,
SOCIAL MEDIA AND CREATIVE CONTENT OUTLETS, APPLICATION
DISTRIBUTION PLATFORMS, COMMUNICATION SERVICES, PAYMENT
SYSTEMS, AND PLATFORMS FOR THE COLLABORATIVE ECONOMY.
- THEY SHARE KEY CHARACTERISTICS INCLUDING THE USE OF

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES TO FACILITATE
INTERACTIONS (INCLUDING COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS) BETWEEN
USERS, COLLECTION AND USE OF DATA ABOUT THESE INTERACTIONS,
AND NETWORK EFFECTS WHICH MAKE THE USE OF THE PLATFORMS WITH
MOST USERS MOST VALUABLE TO OTHER USERS.
- ONLINE PLATFORMS ARE STRONG DRIVERS OF INNOVATION AND PLAY AN

IMPORTANT ROLE IN EUROPE'S DIGITAL SOCIETY AND ECONOMY. THEY
INCREASE CONSUMER CHOICE, IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND
COMPETITIVENESS OF INDUSTRY AND CAN ENHANCE CIVIL
PARTICIPATION IN SOCIETY.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
WHAT IS THE WEB?
- IN A NUTSHELL, THE WEB IS A WHOLE BUNCH OF INTERCONNECTED

COMPUTERS TALKING TO ONE ANOTHER. THE COMPUTERS (ON THE WEB)
ARE TYPICALLY CONNECTED BY PHONE LINES, DIGITAL SATELLITE
SIGNALS, CABLES, AND OTHER TYPES OF DATA-TRANSFER MECHANISMS.
A 'DATA-TRANSFER MECHANISM' IS A NERD'S WAY OF SAYING:
A WAY TO MOVE INFORMATION FROM POINT A TO POINT B TO POINT C AND

SO ON.
- THE COMPUTERS THAT MAKE UP THE WEB CAN BE CONNECTED ALL THE
TIME (24/7), OR THEY CAN BE CONNECTED ONLY PERIODICALLY. THE
COMPUTERS THAT ARE CONNECTED ALL THE TIME ARE TYPICALLY
CALLED A 'SERVER'. SERVERS ARE OCMPUTERS JUST LIKE THE ONE
YOU'RE USING NOW TO READ THIS ARTICLE, WITH ONE MAJOR
DIFFERENCE, THEY HAVE A SPECIAL SOFTWARE INSTALLED CALLED
'SERVER' SOFTWARE.
WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF SERVER SOFTWARE/PROGRAMS?
- SERVER SOFWARE IS CREATED TO 'SERVE' WEB PAGES AND WEBSITES.

BASICALLY, THE SERVER OCMPUTER HAS A BUNCH OF WEBSITES LOADED
ON IT AND IT JUST WAITS FOR PEOPLE (VIA WEB BROWSERS) TO REQUEST
OR ASK FOR A PARTICULAR PAGE. WHEN THE BROWSER REQUESTS A
PAGE THE SERVER SENDS IT OUT.
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET (WYSIWYG)
- WYSIWYG IS AN EDITOR OR PROGRAM IS ONE THAT ALLOWS A

DEVELOPER TO SEE WHAT THE END RESULT WILL LOOK LIKE WHILE THE
INTERFACE OR DOCUMENT IS BEING CREATED. A WYSIWYG EDITOR CAN
BE CONTRASTED WITH MORE TRADITIONAL EDITORS THAT REQUIRE THE
DEVELOPER TO ENTER DESCRIPTIVE CODES (OR MARKUP) AND DO NOT
PERMIT AN IMMEDIATE WAY TO SEE THE RESULTS OF THE MARKUP. THE
FIRST TRUE WYSIWYG EDITOR WAS A WORD PROCESSING PROGRAM
CALLED BRAVO. INVENTED BY CHARLES SIMONYI AT THE XEROX PALO
ALTO RESEARCH CENTER IN THE 1970S, IT BECAME THE BASIS FOR
SIMONYI'S WORK AT MICROSOFT AND EVOLVED INTO TWO OTHER
WYSIWYG APPLICATIONS CALLED WORD AND EXCEL.

LESSON 6
ONLINE COLLABORATIVE
DEVELOPMENT OF ICT CONTENT
AN INFORMATION SYSTEM
- IS A COMPUTER-BASED SYSTEM WHICH MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO STORE

AND RETRIEVE INFORMATION NEEDS OF A USER (BOMAN, 1993). IT IS AN
ORGANIZED SYSTEM FOR THE COLLECTION, ORGANIZATION, STORAGE
AND COMMUNICATION OF INFORMATION. IT CONSISTS OF A CONCEPTUAL
SCHEMA, AN INFORMATION BASE AND AN INFORMATION PROCESSOR. AN
INFORMATION SYSTEM IS AN ORGANIZED COMBINATION OF PEOPLE,
HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, COMMUNICATION NETWORKS AND DATA
RESOURCES THAT COLLECTS, TRANSFORMS, AND DISSEMINATES
INFORMATION IN AN ORGANIZATION.
A CONCEPTUAL SCHEMA IS A MAP OF CONCEPTS AND THEIR

RELATIONSHIPS USED FOR DATABASES

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
AN INFORMATION BASE
- IS A DATABASE USED FOR MANAGING THE ENTITIES IN A

COMMUNICATION NETWORK.
AN INFORMATION PROCESSOR
- IS A SYSTEM WHICH TAKES INFORMATION IN ONE FORM AND PROCESSES

IT INTO ANOTHER FORM.
FIVE MAIN COMPONENTS OF AN INFORMATION SYSTEM
1. HARDWARE
2. SOFTWARE
3. DATA
4. PEOPLE
5. PROCESS
ROLES OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN THE MODERN ORGANIZATION
1. COMMUNICATION
- FOR MANY COMPANIES, EMAIL IS THE PRINCIPAL MEANS OF

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN EMPLOYEES, SUPPLIERS AND
CUSTOMERS. EMAIL WAS ONE OF THE EARLY DRIVERS OF THE
INTERNET, PROVIDING A SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE MEANS TO
COMMUNICATE.
2. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
- INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS TRACK THE QUANTITY OF

EACH ITEM A COMPANY MAINTAINS, TRIGGERING AN ORDER OF
ADDITIONAL STOCK WHEN THE QUANTITIES FALL BELOW A PRE-
DETERMINED AMOUNT.
3. DATA MANAGEMENT
- COMPANIES ARE ABLE TO STORE AND MAINTAIN A TREMENDOUS

AMOUNT OF HISTORICAL DATA ECONOMICALLY, AND EMPLOYEES
BENEFIT FROM IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO THE DOCUMENTS THEY
NEED.

lOMoARcPSD|28259703
4. MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
- MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS (IMS) ENABLE COMPANIES

TO TRACK SALES DATA, EXPENSES AND PRODUCTIVITY LEVELS.
THE INFORMATION CAN BE USED TO TRACK PROFITABILITY OVER
TIME, MAXIMIZE RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND IDENTIFY AREAS OF
IMPROVEMENT. MANAGERS CAN TRACK SALES ON A DAILY BASIS,
ALLOWING THEM TO IMMEDIATELY REACT TO LOWER-THAN-
EXPECTED NUMBERS BY BOOSTING EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY OR
REDUCING THE COST OF AN ITEM.
5. CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
- COMPANIES ARE USING IT TO IMPROVE THE WAY THEY DESIGN AND

MANAGE CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS. CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP
MANAGEMENT (CRM) SYSTEMS CAPTURE EVERY INTERACTION A
COMPANY HAS WITH A CUSTOMER, SO THAT A MORE ENRICHING
EXPERIENCE IS POSSIBLE. IF A CUSTOMER CALLS A CALL CENTER
WITH AN ISSUE, THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE WILL
BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT THE CUSTOMER HAS PURCHASED, VIEW
SHIPPING INFORMATION, CALL UP THE TRAINING MANUAL FOR
THAT ITEM AND EFFECTIVELY RESPOND TO THE ISSUE.
