COLLABORATIVE ICT DEVELOPMENT

Web Portals
A Web Portal is a specially designed website that provides information catered from various sources such as emails, online forums,
search engines on one platform, in a uniform way. It is a personalized and customized library that helps in navigation and
personalization of notifications that provide well-integrated information from diverse sources with advanced features such as task
management, collaboration, business intelligence, etc.

Online Collaborative Tools

Collaboration is the situation of two or more people working together to create or achieve the same thing. More and more people,
especially at this time are going digital and enabling partially or completely remote workforces. Wikipedia defines collaboration
software as, “An application software designed to help people involved in a common task to achieve goals.” And for benefits, it goes
on to say: “A collaborative working environment supports people in both their individual and cooperative work thus evolving into a
new class of professionals, e-professionals, who can work together irrespective of their geographical location.”

Here are some of the collaboration tools available:

Facebook - You can use Facebook groups to create a group page that will allow people in your group to communicate your ideas
and send files.
G Suite (Google Suite) - It is a suite of cloud computing, productivity and collaboration tools, software and products developed by
Google. G Suite comprises Gmail, Hangouts, Calendar, and Currents for communication; Drive for storage; Docs, Sheets, Slides,
Keep, Forms, and Sites for productivity and collaboration.
Microsoft Teams - MS Teams is a unified communication and collaboration platform that combines persistent workplace chat, video
meetings, file storage, and application integration.
Dropbox - It is a simple, reliable file-syncing and storage service with enhanced collaboration features. Dropbox lets anyone upload
and transfer files to the cloud and share them with anyone.
Lark - Lark combines a multitude of essential collaboration tools in a single interconnected platform, including Chat, Calendar,
Creation and Cloud storage.

tasks between them. Typically, columns include task statuses such as To Do, In Progress, Done.
WordPress - The open-source software that allows multiple contributors to easily create a beautiful single website or blog.
Yammer - Yammer is a freemium enterprise social networking service used for private communication within organizations. Access
to a Yammer network is determined by a user's Internet domain so that only individuals with approved email addresses may join their
respective networks.

Advantages of using online collaborative tools

1. A Centralized hub for files, announcements, calendars, etc. Collaboration solutions innately offer a centralized hub wherein all
data is located and from which it is all accessed by the team. It also makes things more effective such as announcements and
calendars, as everyone can coordinate deadlines, milestones, appointments, and personal availability without fail.
2. File Sharing. Since everyone with access can write in the same document together in real-time, instant change reflection is
possible across all shared documentation.
3. Host Online Meetings. Online tools promote better participation in collaborative decision-making. Arranging these meetings
requires only marking the calendar and announcing them once. People can attend the meetings via their laptop, their mobile
device, or even their smart TV.
4. Live Chat. Chat and messaging tools are built-in features of most collaboration platforms currently on the market. With real-time
communication tied directly into the platform, it’s easy to coordinate properly and all conversations are properly and securely logged
for later recall.

Tips to have a successful collaborative tool:

1. Choose easy, intuitive online collaboration tools to increase adoption.
2. Pick a collaboration tool that supports all communication methods.
3. Ensure your choice has scheduling features to help keep projects on track.
4. Choose a dynamic file-sharing solution.
5. Choose a product with real-time collaboration.

INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA
Interactive multimedia is any computer delivered electronic system that allows the user
to control, combine, and manipulate different types of media, such as text, sound, video,
computer graphics, and animation.

MULTIMEDIA CONTENT
1. Videos Through video hosting sites, you can take a video and show it to the entire world (e.g. YouTube)
2. Sound, Music or Audio If videos are too much for you, you can always record sounds. You can share your sound bites to the
entire world (e.g. SoundCloud).
3. Online Games Game developers now create what is called “browser-based games.” You do not need to install these games to
your computer as they run in most updated web browsers (Adventure Quest, Farmville, Candy Crush, BigFish)
4. Online Tests Online survey forms and tests that automatically display the results when finished (Online IQ and Personality
Tests).
5. Courseware Online courses that simulate the classroom online (e.g., E-learning Courses using a Learning Management System)

ICT PROJECT FOR SOCIAL CHANGE

Rich Content Interface or Interactive media - refers to the transformative waysthat people share information
Evolution of Web Technologies
• WEB 1.0 The first iteration of the web represents web 1.0, which, according to Berners-Lee, is the “read-only web.” In other
words, the early web allowed us to search for information and read it. There was very little in the way of user interaction or
content generation.

• WEB 2.0 The term Web 2.0 was first used around 2004. Since the Internet technology became more interactive, it also
became more accessible and available for everyone. The users can now interact, contribute, and create their own Internet
space and content with web 2.0 technology.

• WEB 3.0 is described by Tim Berners-Lee (father of the WWW) as the read-write- execute web. It is referred to as the
semantic web or data-driven web content and response. Semantic markup refers to the communication gap between
humans and computerized applications. One of the biggest challenges of presenting information on the web is that
applications cannot provide context to data and, therefore, can’t understand what is relevant. Through the use of some
semantic markup (or data interchange formats), data could be put in a form not only accessible to humans via natural
language but able to be understood and interpreted by software applications as well. The context of the search of the user
is processed by a programming language to help the user by presenting options of what the person is interested in.
Principles of Interactive Media
✓ Media is rich with graphical and textual elements along with video and/or sound.
✓ Accessed or viewed thru a website, projector (movie), or other forms of delivery like in Smartphones.
✓ It is user-centered.
 ✓ It can be browsed and/or navigated.
✓ Media is more illustrative as it communicates messages through graphics.
✓ It is capable of transferring information easily.
✓ It usually has an orienting effect for the user such as it provides help and illustrates navigation and program features.
✓ Linear or non-linear. Linear active content progresses often without any navigational control for the viewer such as a cinema
presentation while the non-linear uses interactivity to control progress as with a video game or self-paced computer-based
training.
✓ It promotes active learning.

The Importance of an Interactive Website

Increased Time on Website

The amount of time spent on a website is technically known as dwell time. When you add more features to your site such
as a video, the user may watch the video, get more familiar with your brand for example, and in return that user’s dwell time
is increased. The impact of this of course is that it would suggest to Google that people visiting your site are finding what
they are looking for and that it is good quality content, which means Google may then rank you higher for a particular keyword
or possibly a set of them.

Increased Conversion Rate

For those with businesses, one of the main objectives of having a website is to have your users convert and either purchase
a product or a service you provide. Having an interactive website can assist with this. For example, if you had a local
business that offered driving experiences, a video highlighting all the main experiences and showing previous customers
would not only increase your dwell time but also increase your social proof and brand trust as they are getting a much
greater insight into the service and are therefore going to be more likely to convert and may even potentially increase any
future sales through word of mouth, etc.
Improved User Experience
Overall, user experience is highly important for many reasons such as conversion rate, repeat business, as well as also
boosting a lot of other metrics such as average time per session and bounce rate. For instance, if you provided services
such as phone repairs, on your site you could have an online chat set up so that you could interact with customers directly
and answer any of their queries they may have.

Popular Types Online Content

Blog Posts
A blog is one of the most popular types of content marketing you can use to grow your brand. This is why it’s becoming
increasingly popular. According to Growth Badger, there are over 600 million blogs, out of the 1.7+ billion websites that
currently exist. A report by Statista indicated that there are about 31.2 million blogs in the United States alone.

Social Media Posts

If you want to reach your target audience faster, having social media as a strategy is a must. With social media platforms
like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram, you can build relationships with your customers and reach new audiences.
The reason is simple. Social media is one of the most popular online activities that people engage in. In fact, according to
Emarsys, there are over 3.2 billion social media users in the world today.
Videos
If you want to engage your audience quickly and grab their attention, then you should
use video content as a strategy. This is because more people now view video content online than ever before. According to
Cisco, by 2022, 82% of internet traffic will be video. Additionally, 90% of consumers state that videos help them make
purchasing decisions. What this means is that no matter the industry you operate in, video is one of the best types of content
marketing to reach and engage your target customers. With videos, you can create different types of content in your industry.
This helps you to engage your target audience and leave them asking for more.

Case Studies
When people want to learn more about your business, they want to hear from other customers who have used your products
or services. This is why case studies are among the most valuable and powerful types of content marketing. With case
studies, you can let your prospects see the buyers’ journey from start to finish. You can do this by showing the exact steps
you took to help specific clients to get excellent results from using your products or services. Also, you can use case studies
to explain how to use some of your products and services. People prefer case studies before making a purchase online
because it helps them to understand your brand better. It also lets your consumers see if your product/service is something
that will add value to their business.
Infographics
Infographics are also one of the most popular types of content marketing. This is because they’re a visual content marketing
format that can help your audience understand visual data better. Infographics are usually eye-catching, so anyone who
sees them processes and understands the information faster and better. With infographics, you can provide useful
information to your target audience. Also, you can educate your leads and customers more effectively.
Ebooks
Ebooks are also effective when providing value to your audience. It can be likened to long-form blog content that gives
potential customers valuable information. It’s similar to other types of content marketing because the essence of an ebook
is to build a relationship with your prospects. That way, they can know your brand better and build their trust.
Checklists
One of the best types of content marketing you can use to provide value to potential customers is a checklist. A checklist
shows a step-by-step method that your audience can take to solve a particular problem. Also, it provides them with a list of
things they can do to achieve the desired outcome.
How to create a website with Google Sites
Google Sites is a website builder from Google that you can use to create fairly advanced websites in just minutes. The platform
uses a drag-and-drop editor, so you don’t even have to touch HTML code to build a new website.
Perhaps the best part about creating a Google Sites website is that it’s completely free. You just need a Google account to start
using it.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up a new website with Google Sites. To get started, just head over to the
Google Sites website at sites.google.com.

1. Choose a Name And Address

The first thing you need to do to create a new website is to pick a name and URL. By default, the URL of your site will be
sites.google.com/view/yoursitename. Keep in mind that your site URL must be unique—you’ll get an error message if it is already
taken.
2. Select a Template And Theme
Google Sites offers eight templates to help kickstart your design. These are fully customizable, so don’t worry too much about this
choice.
Once you choose a template, you’ll be taken to the site editor. Select a theme for your site by clicking the Theme tab in the
navigation pane. The theme options modify the color palette, fonts, and overall look and feel of your website.
3. Edit Site Layout
Every page in Google Sites is divided into sections, each with its own layout. To create a new section with a specific layout,
navigate to the Insert tab of the editing pane. Under Layouts, you’ll find six basic page section types. Click on one and a new
section with that layout will be added to the bottom of the current page.

You can move sections up or down by dragging on the pattern of 10 dots that appears on the left side of each section. You can also
delete sections by clicking on the garbage can symbol.
4. Create a page
To add a new page to your website, navigate to Pages, hover over the plus symbol, and then click New Page. Give the page a
name and customize the URL address if desired. You can drag and drop the position of your new page within the editing pane to
customize how it appears in your site’s navigation.
5. Add content
You have a lot of options for adding content to your website. You can create text boxes and upload images or source them from
Google Drive. You can also select special elements, such as buttons, image carousels, or Google Maps displays, to add to your
website.
Any content element you add to your site can be moved around by dragging and dropping it. You can also resize any content
elements simply by clicking and dragging on the edges.
6. General website management
Before you publish your new website, it’s a good idea to configure your site settings. Click on the gear icon to modify the style of the
navigational menu and to add a logo if you have one. You can also connect your site to Google Analytics so that you can track how
much traffic you’re getting.
7. Control access
By default, your newly published site will be accessible to anyone. But, you can also limit access to your website to only specific
individuals or those with a direct link. To invite specific people to view your site, click the sharing icon and enter emails into the box
labelled Add people and groups.
8. Track and revert changes
If you want to continue making changes to your website over time, you can. Google Sites automatically tracks the changes you make
so you can undo them at any time if needed. To see all past versions of your website, click on the three dots and select Version
history. To undo recent changes and restore an older copy of your website, select the desired version and click Restore this version.
DEVELOPING, MANAGING AND PROMOTING A PROTOTYPE OF AN ICT PROJECT FOR SOCIAL CHANGE
Social Change - is way human interactions and relationships transform cultural and social institutions over time, having a profound
impact of society.
SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats)
Strengths
are things that your proposed project does well, or in a way that distinguishes it from other existing projects. Think about the
advantages your project has over others. These might be the motivation of where you base your project, access to certain
materials, or a strong set of processes.
Weaknesses
like strengths, are inherent features of your project, so focus on your people, resources, systems, and procedures. Think
about what you could improve, and the sorts of practices you should avoid. Remember be honest! Find out how other people
see your project. Do they notice weaknesses that you tend to be blind to? Take time to examine how and why projects are
successful or why did fail. What are the things lacking?
Opportunities
are openings or chances for something positive to happen, but you will need to claim them for yourself! They usually arise
from situations outside and require an eye to what might happen in the future. They might arise as developments in the
market you serve, or in the technology you use. Being able to spot and exploit opportunities can make a huge difference to
your project's ability to compete and take the lead in your market. Think about good opportunities you can spot immediately.
These do not need to be game changers: even small advantages can increase your project's competitiveness. What
interesting market trends are you aware of, large or small, which could have an impact? You should also watch out for
changes in government policy related to your field. And changes in social patterns, population profiles, and lifestyles can all
throw up interesting opportunities.
Threats
include anything that can negatively affect your project from the outside, such as supply chain problems, shifts in market
requirements, or a shortage of anything that could affect your project. It is vital to anticipate threats and to act against them
before you become a victim of them and your growth stalls.
 ICT PROJECT FOR WEBSITE TRAFFIC STATISTIC AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
Web Traffic
Just like traffic on a highway which refers to the number of cars traveling down the road, web traffic is the number of web users who

Combatting Cybercrimes
•Network Security. Before a hacker can get through the unauthorized files he or she is targeting, the hacker has to get through
several security measures like firewalls, secure connections, passwords, anti-malwares, and data encryptions.
•Investigation. URL tracing and logging are used by websites to track your unique IP addresses. This can be used by investigators
to trace hackers. In piracy, trackers are used to identify IP addresses currently sharing a pirated file.
•Penalties. More and more laws are being created and implemented today. Penalties include both a fine and imprisonment.
