Development of UNIT

Student Club's Website 9-5

Up until a few years ago, developing a website used to be quite complicated,

requiring detailed technical knowledge in web development. Now-a-days, the
website development tools make it very easy for anyone to build a website as
long as they know what web elements are desired, how they should be laid
out and what content to fill in. In the previous unit, you have prepared a
web-design layout with desired web elements and you have content of your
student club. In this unit, you’ll assemble the web elements, adding your
club’s content. The objective is to make the website engaging for the club
members with visual appeal, information pages and interactive elements. At
the end, you’ll receive feedback from your peers and improve the club and the
website.

P: TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE TO DEVELOP A STUDENT CLUB WEBSITE P1

P1: Get inspired to “try new and challenging”

Context
As ninth-grade students, you are on the verge of exploring a whole
new world of learning and possibilities—more complex subjects,
meeting new friends, discovering new interests, and so on. When
you encounter something new and challenging, you often
experience a mix of excitement and nervousness. It will be fun to
try, but you may wonder if you will be able to do it. The reality is,
you will never know until you try!
When you see an amazing new product that you really like, think
about someone out there who had to go outside of their comfort
zone to solve a new and challenging problem. That's how the
amazing new product was created! Let's read the story of one such
person!

Activity
❖ Read the story of Uddhab Bharali in your groups.
❖ Complete the narrative outline (Pg 3)
❖ Discuss and answer the reflections questions under “Let’s Think”.

Story
<1>
Raj, a ninth-grade student with physical disabilities, wishes to access the school
located on the other side of the railway tracks. Unfortunately, having lost both his legs
below the knees, he is stuck. This circumstance inspired Uddhab Bharali to develop
the concept of knee-worn shoes, providing an alternative to traditional footwear.
These shoes not only can be worn on the knees but also offer the ability to be
maneuvered, resembling the function of real legs. Uddhab Bharali applied a similar
innovative approach to modify the wheelchair of another physically challenged child,
enabling him to independently manage tasks such as eating and cleaning.

9-5 P1 (i)
 9-5
P1
<2>
Uddhab was born in Lakhimpur in the state of Assam. After graduating from school, he
went to the engineering College in Jorhat, Assam. However, due to his poor financial
condition, he dropped out of engineering college. His father's trading business was also
on the brink of closing with a loan of 18 lakhs from the bank. It was at this time he got
an offer to make a polyethene manufacturing machine which the company wanted to
make at a reduced cost. Uddhab took on the challenge. He borrowed some tools and a
welding machine from someone, bought some other material, used the company’s
workshop during the night and began working. He kept trying and finally was able to
design the machine for as little as INR 67000 compared to the machine that was
available in the market for 4-5 lakhs.
<3>
Years passed working on such innovative ideas, but his work got him neither
recognition nor money. Instead, people regarded him as worthless. Moreover, his family
members also started considering him as a liability. Nevertheless, whenever he noticed
anything unique, he would try to learn and understand how it could become useful. He
continued with this endeavour for the next 15 years between 1990 to 2005.It was in the
year 2005 that he noticed that ground rice was extensively used in his area, but the rice
grinding machine was bulky and difficult to operate. He then developed a portable
paddle powder machine for the farmer families, which was light, affordable and easy to
operate. It was the development of this machine that caught the attention of the
National Innovation Foundation, Ahmedabad which not only recognised his talent but
also helped him promote himself as a grassroot innovator.
<4>
He also developed a tapioca peeling machine whose technology he sold for Rs 1.25
lakh since he had no money to produce it. The night he reached Guwahati to make the
deal, he had to spend the night at a bus station because he did not have enough money
to stay at a hotel. He has developed over 150 machines with simple innovative designs
and mechanisms, particularly the pomegranate deseeder machine. When the
pomegranate is cut into two pieces and put into the machine, it hits the machine's
drum, and pomegranate seeds begin to release without being broken. This machine got
worldwide appreciation since it was the first of its kind not only in India but across the
world. Uddhab does not regard himself as a businessman, but someone who has a
keen eye for innovation and a heartfelt desire to help the needy. Uddhab was also
awarded and honoured by NASA in 2012. And in 2019, he was awarded the Padma Shri
by the President of India. He has received 24 national and international awards, and 17
documentaries have been made on him. He also visits universities across the country
to guide students.

● Have you ever tried to solve a challenging problem? Explain your efforts in
detail.

Takeaway
This story helped us understand that the willingness to try new and challenging
problems helped Uddhab Bharali identify and utilize resources around him. His
passion to innovate helped him design and develop numerous machines, which
made day-to-day tasks easier for people. Similarly, if we also start thinking to do
something challenging and innovative every day we will discover many resources
and possibilities around us.

P: TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE TO DEVELOP A STUDENT CLUB WEBSITE P2

P2: Create an action plan to develop your club’s website

Context
In the last unit, each group made a design for a
website. You drew out how the website should look,
what things should be on it, and what the student
club page should look like. In this unit, you're going
to actually make the website using those plans. But
before you start, you need to make a plan that says
how each person in the group will contribute.

Why do we make action plan?

Well, the plan helps everyone know what he/she is supposed to do. It's like dividing a
big task into smaller parts. This way, everyone can work at the same time and get
things done faster. The plan also tells everyone how to use their time well. And, it's
like a list that we can check to see how far we've come in making the website.

Activity
❏ There is a sample action plan on the next page. Please read it and discuss in your
group about what all tasks need to be covered in the action plan.
❏ Starting with the desired website elements as a base list of tasks, add more tasks
required per the site map and the wireframes. For each task, assign the owner and
resources required. For each person, you may also roughly mark the priority order in
which they need to complete their tasks. This is your simple action plan for creating a
student club website.
❏ To begin website development, create a draft website using the website design tool and
add all group members as collaborators. Watch https://youtu.be/3mb0nnAXIKM

Let's Think

● While creating the action plan, did you think about a few more things to add
to the club website? Explain what did you add and why.

● How did the action plan add clarity to the website development work?

Takeaway
An action plan makes it possible to create a checklist of all tasks that need to be
completed and how to distribute work among group members to apply their
individual strengths. It also provides rough priority order among tasks so that they
can be duly sequenced. The success of the plan depends on how everyone in the
group will take ownership for tasks assigned to them and try new challenges with a
“can do” attitude.

Q1

Q1: Create information pages and visual appeal of the website

Context
In the previous unit, we had observed that visual
appearance and good content are important to make it
appealing to users.
Q: In the context of visual appeal, what do “color
scheme”, “website templates and themes” mean?
Experts have figured out which combinations of colors
are generally visually pleasing for most audiences. It is
best to go with the color schemes offered by the web
design tool. If you are someone who understands colors
well, feel free to modify the colour scheme.

Similarly, Website templates and themes are a combination of web elements that go well
together. For creating your club’s website, it is convenient to select a website template
and theme that matches your student club. Your group may customise such templates
per the group’s preferences. After you do that, different group members can start adding
information pages and visual appeal elements as per the action plan.

Group Activity

● Use the given Sample Website Evaluation Rubric to understand what factors are
important in a website implementation.
● Through the videos shared on the next page, look at different ways visual appeal
can be brought to the websites.
● In your group, take time to add different information pages and visual appeal
elements. The student club related information can be copy/pasted directly from
the group’s club design.
● When needed, you can take the help of Youtube videos to learn how to add the
desired elements.
● It is okay for to add elements not included in the design, with a good reason.

Context
Have you ever felt frustrated when a website doesn't work
properly? Imagine clicking on a link that leads you nowhere, or
buttons that just won't do what they're supposed to.But don't
worry, we're here to learn about something super important:
website inspection. Just like you check your homework for
mistakes before showing it to your teacher, websites need a
checkup too. Get ready to become a website detective, spotting
and fixing problems to make the online world smoother for
everyone. Ready for the adventure? Let's begin!

Group Activity
1. Conduct a full inspection of the entire website from a user
perspective to look for issues such as broken links or buttons
not working, spinning wheel (website not responsive), data
entry fields not accepting valid inputs, no clear instructions,
and so on and make a list of them.
2. Prioritize and fix the most important of such issues.

R2: List changes made and justify

Context
“Plans are of little importance, but planning is essential.” - Winston Churchill.
What do you understand by this quote?
If plans don’t exactly work out most of the time, why is planning essential?
Planning serves as a guidance tool or a checklist of activities that must be done.
The process of planning forces you to think of things you wouldn’t otherwise think about.
When a plan fails or only partially succeeds, you learn from that experience and your
planning improves in the future. Without tracking execution against a plan, it is hard to
measure progress.

Group Activity
Systematically compare the website design and the published website and list items that
are different.
❏ For the items that are new in the website, state why they were added.
❏ For the items that are missing in the website, state why they were removed.
❏ For the items modified, explain why they were modified.

S1: Get users to evaluate the website and provide feedback
Context
In some exams, you have “objective” questions such as multiple
choice, fill in the blanks, etc. where the marks given depends only on
the answers, not on the teacher evaluating your answer paper. While
in “subjective” questions, the marks given depend on the teacher’s
opinion about your answers; different teachers could give different
marks for the same answer. To reduce such variability, an approach
using “rubric” has become popular. Watch the Rubric for Assessment
video to understand it better: https://youtu.be/b4shMaSel00
In this session, your group will use a rubric to evaluate your partner
group’s website, along with answering specific qualitative questions
to provide feedback. Your group will receive similar feedback.

Group Activity
1. Your group pairs up with another group. The pair exchanges their
published website links with each other.
2. Each group in the pair will evaluate the website of the partner group
and provide feedback in two forms: quantitative feedback based on
the rubric on the next page, and qualitative feedback based on the
following questions:
● To what extent is the purpose of the student club clear and
interesting?
● To what extent are the benefits of the club clear and
interesting?
● Specifically, which aspects of the website need to be
improved?
● Any other feedback to improve the club and the website?

S2: Process feedback and decide which improvements are needed
Context
It is often said that “data is the new oil”.
What does it mean?
The way oil has been an important component of the
world economy, data too has become an important
component of the world economy. Those who can
control access to data can control a lot more.
However, if you have too much data but don’t know
how to organize and process, it is no better than a
pile of rubble. This session is about meaningful
processing the data you received from users.

Group Activity
1. Tabulate the quantitative data (rubric dimension scores) in a spreadsheet.
Pivot tables and charts can be used to help visualize the areas of strength and
need for improvement for the website.
2. While quantitative data can indicate that something is wrong, the insights
about what’s wrong or how to fix it can come more easily by qualitative
feedback.
3. If you have a large number of qualitative feedback data points, it is best to
categorize the received qualitative feedback statements using meaningful
labels and then convert them to charts and graphs using the same approach
