Unit 1: Collaborative Development of ICT

Content
Learning Competency:
• Evaluate the quality, value, and appropriateness of peer's existing or previously
developed ICT content concerning the theme or intended audience/ viewer of an ICT
Project.
• Share and showcase existing or previously developed material in the form of a
collaboratively designed newsletter or blog site intended for a specific audience or
viewer.

Lesson I: Team Structure and Dynamics for ICT Content

A Group involves people who work independently to achieve its goal, while a Team
works interdependently where each member has a specific role or function. Thus, the
team interacts dynamically and adoptively to reach its common goal.

When creating interesting ICT content to be published, it is not enough to have the skills
and knowledge about it, for it would be difficult to maintain and monitor it alone. It is
also not enough that your group works independently because it might lead to
inefficiency due to miscommunication. What you need is to create a “Team Structure.”

Team Structure

Team Structure refers to the creation of an individual team or the creation of a multi-system. It is
an essential component of the teamwork process.

An effective team structure works collaboratively. It is the key to the success of the ICT project.
Collaboration means individuals work together to produce/ create a well-defined content to
achieve a common business purpose.

In creating ICT content, most teams work collaboratively online. Online collaboration is a work
process where people are interacting in real-time over the internet. It provides a smooth process
in the development of ICT content even without working together physically.

A team must consider these Four (4) Parts of Collaboration in a Flow Process while
interacting with team members:
• Sharing: documenting explicit knowledge
• Understanding: adopting the process knowledge
• Reflection: analyzing or interpreting shared information
• Expression: the process of making known ones thought or feelings

Team Members
An effective team structure is composed of efficient team members who have specific
roles and responsibilities. These team members include:
LESSON II: Online Collaborative Tools and Processes

Using Google Drive for Collaboration


In creating and co-creating ICT content, storage, and organization of files is necessary. It
will be safe and convenient if the content will be stored on clouds and available for the
members to edit and organize anytime, anywhere. However, each member should be
responsible in keeping the files.

Google Drive provides a service for file storage on clouds and collaboration for
online sharing, editing, and organizing through "Shared Folders."

A. Steps in Creating Folder/s in Google Drive


1. Make sure that each member has a Google account.
2. Sign-in to your Google Drive account\
3. Create a folder by clicking “New.” Then a pop-up window will appear then, click
“Folder.”
4. Another pop-up window will appear. Type a Name for the new folder then, click
“CREATE.” A folder will be created.
5. You can create as many folders as necessary for the project by repeating step 3 to
4.
B. Steps in Sharing Folder in Google Drive
1. To share the folder with the team members, right-click the folder to be shared and
a pop-up window will appear, then, click "Get shareable link."
2. A pop–up window will appear. You have two options on how you will share a
folder. It can be “Restricted” or “Anyone with the link.” Click the drop-down list
button below the text input box of “Get link” and a popup window will appear.
Then, click your chosen mode of folder sharing.
2.1. If you choose “Restricted” Mode.
2.1.A. Choosing “Restricted” in sharing a folder means that the folder will
only be accessible to the people that has been added by the creator. Anyone
who has the link but has not been added by the creator, he or she will not be
able to access it without the creator's permission. This mode of sharing is
more secure because of the restriction. Once you click the “Restricted,” click
the “Share with people and groups” located at the upper box then, encode the
e-mails of your team members. You can also include message for further
instructions or reminders. Make sure that the recipients have been assigned as
editor.
2.1.B. Click “Send.” An email is sent to people you shared with
2.2.A. If you choose “Anyone with the link” it means that you can give other
people a link to your folder so that you don’t have to add e-amil addresses
when you share folder. This mode of sharing is more convenient if you have a
large of number of team members. Once you click the “Anyone with the
link,” click the drop-down list button located at the right side and a pop-up
window will appear. Click “Editor” so that the receiver of the link will be
able to organize, add or edit files to the shared folder.
2.2.B. Click “Copy link” and paste the link in an email or any place you want
to share it like private message, chat group, or group page.

3. Once the team members received the link, they may now access the folder by
clicking it. They can now upload, organize, and edit file on the shared folder.

Online Platforms for Hosting ICT Content


After creating and finalizing your content, it is now ready to be published online.
Platforms that may be currently used to host newsletters and similar ICT content include the
following:
• Presentation/ visualization (Prezi, Soho, Slideshare, Mindmeister)
• Cloud computing (Google Apps)
• Social Media (Facebook Pages, Tumblr)
• Web Page Creation (Wix, Weebly)
• Blog sites (Blogger, Wordpress, Livejournal, Issuu) Characteristics of Good
Collaborative

Tools and Platforms Always remember that there are no superior tools.
The productivity of a tool is dependent on the intended purpose of the team. Hence, in choosing
an appropriate tool, the team must consider the following:
• The tool must be user friendly.
• The tool has elements that are appropriate for the team's goal.
• The tool prioritizes security and privacy.
LESSON III: Project Management for ICT Content

The application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities is called Project
Management. It is needed to achieve project requirements, usually to time and budget.

It includes overseeing projects for software development, hardware installations, network


upgrades, cloud computing and virtualization rollouts, business analytics, and data management
projects and implementing IT services. Project Management is done by applying and integrating
project management processes which are organized in five distinct phases:

Five Phases of Project Management


(Adapted from the ICT Project Management by Institutional and Sector Modernization Facility)

• Initiating - An overview of the objectives of the project, needs, and the problem is
identified. It is where you create the project charter with the Project Manager assigned to
the project.
• Planning- This is where a successful project conclusion is worked out by the project
manager and the project team. The team brainstorms the ICT theme to be published,
together with the collaborative tools and online platforms to be used.
• Executing - This is where the project team goes about executing the project plan once the
project plan has been constructed. The curation of ICT content may occur in this phase
for quality assurance. Content writers and editors are essential in this phase. After all the
preparation has been done, publishing the ICT content online may now take place.
• Monitoring and Controlling - This is where the project manager monitors and controls
the work for a time, cost, scope, quality, risk, and other factors while the project is being
executed. It is also an ongoing process that ensures that the project meets its focus for
each project objective. Other members, primarily the web developer, may work in this
phase collaboratively with the project manager.
• Closing- This happens when each phase is ended and when each entire project is
concluded. It happens to ensure that all the work has been finished, completed, and
approved.

LESSON IV: Curating Existing Content for Use on the Web

Content curation is the process of publicly gathering, organizing, adding value, and openly
sharing digital information artifacts on a specific topic or area of audience interest.

It intends to add your personal touch, as the creator, to a handpicked collection of content. They
are gathered from a variety of sources, in a specific topic, that you publish and share with your
audience wherever they may be.

Creating and Choosing Valuable ICT Content


The success of an online portal, page, or website is dependent upon its content. The content must
be exciting and worthy of the time of the specific audience. Thus, in developing ICT content, the
team must consider the following steps in creating and choosing valuable ICT content.
1. Define your objectives: specify the main goal that needs to be promoted in your
content.
2. Research and analyze: extract information from different resources regarding the topic
you want to write.
3. Organize the structure of your article: give an overview of your topic to help readers
understand what your topic is.
4. Summarize and proofread: create a summary of the information you have gathered and
analyzed to make sure your article is free of graphical errors.

Three (3) Rules in Creating Quality Content


• Informative – it should provide valuable and useful information to the reader.
• Interesting - it should catch the readers' attention from the title to the last part of your
content.
• Relevant – it should reflect how much you know the subject of your content enough and
who it is being written to make it relevant to both.
