 Lesson Collaborative Development of ICT Content

Since you have already gained fundamental knowledge in web page creation and you
have created several outputs from the previous lessons, it is your time to synthesize what
you have learned. You will also turn your materials into more exciting ICT content and
showcase them into higher and specific audiences.

Sharing and showing your content can be done alone, but it will be more convenient,
more profitable, and exciting if you create your ICT content collaboratively with your peers or
your team.

What’s In
Revisit your output (e-portfolio or photo gallery) from the previous lesson (Web
Page Design Using Temp lates). Answer the questions below .

1. Are you satisfied with your output? Why or Why not?

2. If you will be given a chance to enhance your output, what enhancement will you do?

3. Have you encountered difficulties in creating it? What are the issues that you can
share while doing your output?

4. If you have somebody to work with your output, do you think that you would have a
better output? Why or Why Not?

GROUP

1. Describe each picture.

2. Analyze the pictures presented above and differentiate a Group from a Team.

3. If these people will create their web page, which would be more likely to develop more
interesting and better-quality content: Group or Team? Justify your answer.

What is It

A. Team Structure and Dynamics for ICT Content

In the previous activity, you discovered the difference
between a Group and a Team. 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.
A well-structured team is an enabler for and the result of effective communication,
leadership, situation monitoring, and support.
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

5
Team Members

An effective team structure is composed of efficient team members who have specific
roles and responsibilities. These team members include:

Project Manager: An individual who has general accountability for the successful
initiation, planning, design, execution, monitoring, controlling, and closure of a
project.

Data Analyst: Someone who gathers, processes, and performs statistical analyses of
Data. A person who is accountable in collecting the data for ICT content.

Content Writer and Editor: A person responsible for reviewing the data and finalizes
a complete of information.

The Web Designer – A person responsible for creating the appearance, layout, and
elements of a website. The job involves understanding both graphic design and
computer programming.

The Web Developer – The person technically develops the overall functionalities of a
web page.

Facebook page has similar team members except for web designers and web
developers because Facebook already provides it. Instead, the FB page includes other roles like
Moderator, Advertiser, and Jobs Manager. To know more about FB Page Role, visit

B. Online Collaborative Tools and Processes
There are plenty of tools and platforms that are available online, making online
collaboration possible and convenient.
Online Collaborative Tools for Creation and Co-creation of ICT Contents
Online collaborative tools for ICT content development that may be used currently include
the following:
• Facebook Groups • Microsoft's Yammer
• G Suite • MS Office 365
• Google Chat/ Hangouts • Prezi
• Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides • Trello
• Google Drive • Zoom
• Microsoft Teams • Skype/ Viber/ Kakao Talk/
WeChat/ Line

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.
C. 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.

7
 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:

INITIATING PLANNING

MONITORI
NG AND
EXECUTING
CONTROLL
ING

CLOSING

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.

8
 • 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.
D. 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.
