Independence

Ensure that group think goes not merge and that people are thinking for themselves.

Persistence

To ensure that all content is kept within the community and easily accessible to all members.

Emergence

Focus on the goal rather than worrying about hot it is achieved.

“Companies should start to develop their collaboration capabilities before purchasing collaboration technology” - Dr. Graham Bill

GROUP

is a social community, consisting of two or more people who have something in common

TEAM

Forms

Two of the most important considerations when laying out a form are:

Form label

Input fields and labels

Form label

forms typically collect personal data that users are reluctant to give  out. As such, properly informing user of the exact purpose of the form is wise.

Input Fields and Labels

Form Validation

This is the critical point where the website communicates the user requirements and errors in a form.

There are three core things to consider:

Required fields

Real – time validation

Post back validation

Required Fields

Real – Time Validation

Post - Back Validation

User will usually need some sort of feedback after performing an action on your website. The most likely scenario is after submitting a form, but many other events could occur as well. Carefully consider your website and the action that user might take, and plan for the messages that the website will need to communicate.

Animations: Pop-ups, Tooltips, Transitions

Common places animations used are the following:

Tooltips

Image rotators or sliders

Lightbox

WEB DESIGN PRINCIPLES

According to Cleverism,

“Web design is a concept of planning, creating, and maintaining websites.”

It is the process of creatively designing and constructing a website and updating it regularly to incorporate changes.

PRINCIPLES IN DESIGNING YOUR WEB PAGE OR SITE

1. VISUAL HIERARCHY

This explains the order in which human eye perceives what it sees.

2. PROPORTION

You can make use of the golden ratio, magical number approximately equal to 1.618 that makes all things proportioned so as to make a design aesthetically pleasing.

Then there is also the Fibonacci sequence where each term is defined as the sum of the two previous terms: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,and so on.

3. HICK’S LAW

This law can be considered as a guideline for decision making in a viewer’s perspective.

states that “with every additional choice, the time required to make a decision increases.”

4. FITT’S LAW

According to this law, the time needed to move to a target is dependent upon the size of the target as well as the distance to the target.

5. ACCESSIBILITY

When a visitor enters the website, he or she must be able to access each bit of information in the easiest manner.

6. VISIBLE LANGUAGE

A web page design should communicate with the users clearly and in an engaging manner.

7. WHITE SPACE AND SIMPLE DESIGN

White space helps divide the web page into several distinct parts or areas that make it simpler for the users to process information

The following are some of the other things that can be considered as part of a simple design:

Grid-based layout – The content of this layout is divided into columns, boxes, and different sections.

F-pattern design.- Design a web page or website in a way that complements the natural reading behavior of the visitors like the “F-pattern.”

Conventional designs. - Conventional or Conservative designs still work well as far as visitor response or likeability is concerned.

8. REGULAR TESTING

Test Early and Test Often (TETO), is another web design principle that all designers and website owners must consider.

IMAGING AND DESIGN FOR THE ONLINE ENVIRONMENT

PRINCIPLES OF GRAPHICS AND DESIGN

Balance

Movement

Unity

Repetition

Proximity

Contrast

Whitespace

BALANCE

- describes the placement of elements of equal weight on the page.

-The visual weight of objects, texture, colors, and space is evenly distributed on the screen.

-Balance in design is similar to balance in physics. A large shape close to the center can be balanced by a small shape close to the edge. Balance provides stability and structure to a design. It’s the weight distributed in the design by the placement of your elements.

Movement

- describes the flow of elements on the page.

-Visual elements guide the viewer’s eyes around the screen.

-visual movement is used to guide the viewer through the piece. Lines, shapes, color, depth and hierarchy can all be used to guide the viewer from one point to the next – at a glance. Visual movement is more commonly known in the graphic design world as ‘flow’.

Unity

- the sense of oneness of the elements that creates balance and harmony

-Visual elements guide the viewer’s eyes around the screen.

Repetition

-describes the consistent and balanced repetition of a design or element.

-Visual elements guide the viewer’s eyes around the screen.

Proximity

-describes the organization and relationship of elements included in the design.

-Proximity helps in creating a relationship between similar or related elements. These elements need not be grouped together, instead, they should be visually connected by way of font, colour, size, etc.

-Proximity creates relationship between elements. It provides a focal point. Proximity doesn’t mean that elements have to be placed together, it means they should be visually connected in someway.Proximity helps in creating a relationship between similar or related elements. These elements need not be grouped together, instead, they should be visually connected by way of font, colour, size, etc.

Contrast

- is the combination of opposing characteristics of an element.

-contrast is the juxtaposition of opposing elements (opposite colors on the color wheel, or value light / dark, or direction - horizontal / vertical). Contrast allows us to emphasize or highlight key elements in your design.

Whitespace

- is the negative space or large margins that allow your design to breathe within the elements

-It’s simply the space in a design and it can have any color, texture or pattern. White space is a very important design element, just as all the other elements: pictures, fonts, graphics etc. White space is used to:

Help the eye scan a design/text.

Increase legibility and readability.

Create a certain aesthetic/mood.

INFOGRAPHIC

- is defined as a visual image such as a chart or diagram that is used to explain information or data

LESSON 4:“Contextualized  Online Search and  Research Skills”

What is Online Search?

Online search is the process of interactively searching for and  retrieving requested information via a computer from  databases that are online. Interactive searches became  possible in the 1980s with the advent of faster databases and  smart terminals.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:

-Ability to obtain a large sample, which increases statistical power

-Data is automatically coded so no data entry errors

-Reduced cost of conducting research

Disadvantages:

-Online is not totally secure and theft is one of the numerous danger it poses, researchers personal information is at risk of being access by rogue persons.

-Some of the materials on the internet have not been evaluated by experts or thoroughly screened.

-Lack of accreditation and low quality

Research Skills

“Research” sometimes just means finding out information about a topic.

You can certainly develop advanced information retrieval skills in Working  with Sources. However, in specific understandings of “research” carry a lot  of weight. The classic definition is that “research” leads to an original  contribution to knowledge in a particular field of inquiry by defining an  important question or problem and then answering or solving it in a  systematic way.

 So you will need to read on to develop a relevant understanding of what research means in your subject.

Research skills can be anything from looking  at competitors and seeing what they do well  to producing a written report on how your  department could work better. Doing research  in the world of work is all about stepping back  from your day-to-day work and looking at  ways you can improve.

Important aspects of research:

 Working with data will provide resources on the use of statistics and other  numerical skills in research.

 Research design covers the key issues in developing a successful research  project.

 Research methods takes you to resources on essential techniques for

carrying out convincing research.

Improving Your Research Skills Online

1.Organize your bookmarks. It is to organize the links you have marked.

2.Know your sources. Make sure to find the most reliable information which can be found in multiple sources or, better, to have the original source.Use your web browser properly.

3.Know the capabilities of your preferred browser to help make your search faster and easier.

4.Follow the web. Follow the web information in the web. Just make sure to read and be critical in every link you click.

5.Learn to use advanced search engines. Practice using advanced search techniques which are available in Google.

SIX STRATEGIES THAT CAN HELP  ONLINE STUDENTS PRODUCE  STRONGER RESEARCH.

1.Contact a librarian before getting stuck  sifting through piles of online information

2.Consider that when in doubt, it’s wiser to  over-cite sources than risk plagiarism

3.Use Google and other reliable resources at the  beginning of a research process, not  the end.

4.Don’t think that the Web is your  only source of information.

5.Understand why professors still  assign research projects.

6.Understand the professor's  expectations for citation format.

LESSON 3:Online Safety and Security

ONLINE SAFETY AND SECURITY,ETHICS AND NETIQUETTE

COMMON ISSUES AND CRIMES IN THE INTERNET

CYBERBULLYING

HACKING

IDENTITY THEFT

PLAGIARISM

COPYRIGHT ISSUES

CYBERBULLYING Cyberbullying or cyberharassment is a form of bullying or harassment using electronic means. Cyberbullying and cyberharassment are also known as online bullyingCyberbullying is when someone, typically teens, bully or harass others on the internet, particularly on social media sites. Harmful bullying behavior can include posting rumors, threats, sexual remarks, a victims’ personal information, or pejorative labels (i.e. hate speech). Unicef: Cyber bullying affects 70% of youth, he proportion of children and adolescents affected by cyberbullying ranges from five percent to 21 percent, with girls at higher risk than boys, according to data from the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. The Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 (RA 10627) (Sec. 2, RA 10627) These acts are collectively called “cyber bullying” when committed online. (Sec. 2-D, RA 10627) This covers social bullying aiming to belittle another individual or group or gender-based bullying that humiliates another on the basis of perceived or actual sexual orientation and gender identity. (Sec. 3, B-1, RA 10627, Implementing Rules).

The Revised Penal Code and the Cybercrime Prevention Act One who publicly or maliciously imputes to another a crime, vice, defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission, condition, status or circumstance tending to cause the dishonor, discredit or contempt of a natural or juridical person, or blacken the memory of one who is dead may be liable for libel under this Code. (Art. 353, RPC) These acts are more severely punished when done online in addition to the civil action for damages which may be brought by the offended party. (Sec. 4(c-4), RA 10175) Cyberlibel holds liable only the original author of the post (Sec. 5(3), Implementing Rules of RA 10175). Likers or sharers of a post cannot be held liable under this law.Slander may also be applicable to one who, in heat of anger, utters statements that are highly defamatory in character. (Art. 358, RPC) Intriguing Against Honour may also find applicability when the principal purpose is to blemish the honour or reputation of a person. (Art. 364, RPC) However, the requirement is that the post be directed to a specific person. Hence, a blind item is not as actionable as a named-post in social media.

HACKING Hacking generally refers to unauthorized intrusion into a computer or a network. The person engaged in hacking activities is known as a hacker. This hacker may alter system or security features to accomplish a goal that differs from the original purpose of the system. Hacking can also refer to non-malicious activities, usually involving unusual or improvised alterations to equipment or processes.

IDENTITY THEFT Identity theft, also known as identity fraud, is a crime in which an imposter obtains key pieces of personally identifiable information, such as Social Security or driver’s license numbers, in order to impersonate someone else.

Types and examples of identity theft 1. True-name identity theft means the thief uses personal information to open new accounts. The thief might open a new credit card account, establish cellular phone service or open a new checking account in order to obtain blank checks. 2. Account-takeover identity theft means the imposter uses personal information to gain access to the person’s existing accounts.

PLAGIARISM Plagiarism is an act of fraud. It involves both stealing someone else’s work and lying about it afterward.

-turning in someone else’s work as your own -copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit -failing to put a quotation in quotation marks -giving incorrect information about the source of a quotation -changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit -copying so many words or ideas from a source that it makes up the majority of your work, whether you give credit or not (see our section on “fair use” rules)

Republic Act No. 8293 [An Act Prescribing the Intellectual Property Code and Establishing the Intellectual Property Office, Providing for Its Powers and Functions, and for Other Purposes]otherwise known as the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. Intellectual property rights under the I. P. Code: The intellectual property rights under the Intellectual Property Code are as follows:

2.  Trademarks and service marks;

3.  Geographic indications;

4.  Industrial designs;      

5.  Patents;        

6.  Layout designs [topographies] of integrated circuits

7.  Protection of undisclosed information.

The scheme of penalties for infringement has also been changed.  From the previous fine of Php200 to Php2,000 and/or imprisonment of 1 year, the current range of penalties are as follows:

For first offenders - fine of PhP50,000 to PhP150,000 and/or imprisonment of 1 to 3 years
