this is that you are restricted to Facebook’s “one-size-fits-all” design. (note: It has low
customization but backed up by popularity.)

Facebook is the biggest and the most popular social platform in the
Internet. It is commonly used by students and is a gaining ground among
professionals too.

Cloud Computing
When we creating infographics, we used Piktochart and its infographic editor uses
cloud computing. The same goes for making our own blog and creating our first post: we used
the editor from WordPress. These are referred to as cloud computing because we did not need to
install any software in our computer. The software is in the ‘’cloud’’ or over the internet. Here
are some advantage and disadvantage of cloud computing,

path owned by the user or rented from a telephone company; in which case it is called
a leased line.
Others Ways to Create a Website
As a mention earlier, people use HTML codes to create page CSS codes to design them.
If you have taken up these coding skills before, it will help you in creating pages using
WYSIWYG. If you have not, WYSIWYG is designed for anyone who has not or does not have
prior coding skills.
Creating a Website using Microsoft Word
1. Open Microsoft Word
2. Type anything on the page like ‘’Welcome to my Website’’
3. Click on File > Save As> Browser
4. On the Save As dialog box, locate your activities folder and create a new folder named’’
Sample Webpage’’.
5. Specify the Filename’’ Sample Web page’’.
6. On the Save As type, Select ‘’Web Page (*.htm, *.html)’’.
7. Click the Change Title button.
8. Input the title as seen below, then click OK then Save.
9. Check the files on your Sample Web page folder. you will see a new folder generated
including your htm. or html file.
10. Open the Sample Web page.htm file and you will see that you just created a web page
using MS Word.
Tip: any file inside the Sample Web Page files folder is generated by MS Word.
These are the files that make HTML files display visual elements correctly.
You have just created a web page using Microsoft Word – a technique you can also use
using Microsoft Excel. These office applications can be used as WUSIWYG platform. The next
step is uploading these files to a web server. However, we will skip that step because we are
going to use a much easier approach in creating website. We are going to use an online
application that is actually to design to create website.

A. LESSON OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, the students are able to:
1. Use an online collaborative tool to efficiency monitor group task;
2. Explain the advantage of using online collaborative tools; and
3. create project that requires team member cooperation
21
B. LESSON OUTLINE:
6.1 Team structure and dynamic for ICT Content
(Online collaborative tools and processes)
C. LESSON CONTENT
Online Collaboration- Simply put, online collaboration lets a group of people work
together in real-time over the internet
The difference between Online Collaboration and Web conference is that Online
collaboration is sharing information to each other to come with a way to achieve the
group’s goal. While in Web Conference is more like a meeting to discuss about a certain
topic.
Encryption- additional layer of security that makes content unreadable for people with
malicious intent.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer)- is the standard security technology for establishing an
encrypted link between a web server and a browser.
22
Three aspects of collaboration: communication, coordination and cooperation can be used
to categorize collaboration tools.
Although email is still the most common used tool in communication collaboration it is
not very efficient on a big scale and other forms of communication seem to take over.
Besides its flexibility it is not very good for group conversations as they grow too fast.
[citation needed] There is no way to be sure that a person has the latest version of a
document that has been sent to them and it is impossible to always track via their email
what tasks need to be done and by which deadline.[12] As Cisco states in their Cisco
Blog about the “Future of Email”, emails “will improve productivity by organizing your
data for you” [13] and try to bring more transparency in their work with email.
d) VoIP (voice over IP) / video call – Voice over IP as a collaboration tool has quickly
gained popularity among companies and is part of their communication portfolio. As
a report from Eclipse Telecom is pointing out, the VoIP is moving towards the state
to totally replace our telephones in our offices and also integrate in existing
collaboration service environments.
a) Online Calendars – Online calendars are part of professional behavior at work and
fully integrated in other systems. As a research paper from University of Bath
explains, online calendars could in the future be much closely linked to other data
such as social media and have even a larger effect.
b) Time trackers – Time trackers are especially used to measure the performance of
employees. Its effect on productivity is discussed as being controversial.
c) Spreadsheets – Spreadsheets are like emails very popular within the corporate
environment and as a collaboration tool essential for financial analysis or modelling.
Although very popular, several studies found out that many spreadsheets contain
inaccurate data and are therefore inefficient.
3. Cooperation – Cooperation tools allow groups to have real-time discussions and to shape an
idea or thought together. Trends in terms of collaboration target on helping to maintain the
“main idea” within big organizations and make connections visible. Also, the idea of
bringing people who are not working in a company on a regular basis into the organization
and make use of their knowledge.
23
a) Video conferencing – In most cases video conferencing is part of the overall
communication and collaboration strategy of organizations. Especially now when all
services are cloud-based and therefore implementation costs became more affordable.
The long-term vision for video conferencing lies in the correct usage of computer
processing power, data storage or mobile bandwidth speeds to further decrease the
obstacles of collaboration
