internet environment.
ICT in the Philippines
 Philippines is dub as the ‘’ICT Hub of Asia” because of huge

growth of ICT-related jobs, one of which is BPO, Business
Process Outsourcing, or call centers.
 ICT Department in the Philippines is responsible for the
planning, development and promotion of the country’s
information and communications technology (ICT) agenda in
support of national development.
Computer– an electronic device for storing and
processing data, typically in binary form, according to
instructions given to it in a variable program.
World Wide Web
World Wide Web
 An information system on the internet that allows documents
to be connected to other documents by hypertext links,
enabling the user to search for information by moving from
one document to another.
 Is an information space where documents and other web
resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext
links, and can be accessed via the Internet.
 Invented by Tim-Berners Lee
Web Pages
 Web page is a hypertext document connected to the World Wide

Web. It is a document that is suitable for the World Wide
Web.
The different online platforms of World
Wide Web:
 Web 1.0 – refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web, which was entirely made
up of the Web pages connected by hyperlinks.
 Web 2.0 – is the evolution of Web 1.0 by adding dynamic pages. The user is able to
see a website differently than others.
– Allows users to interact with the page; instead of just reading the page, the user
may be able to comment or create user account.
 Web 3.0 – this platform is all about semantic web.

– Aims to have machines (or servers) understand the user’s preferences to be
able to deliver web content.
The following 7 are the key features of
web 2.0
 Folksonomy : Free Classification of Information
 Rich User Experience
 User as a Contributor
 Long Tail
 User Participation
 Software as a Service
 Mass particition
FOLKSONOMY
 Allows user create free classification/ arrangement of

information. This is also known as Social tagging.
 For example , the photo sharing site such as Flickr, Instagram,

Facebook and Social Bookmarking of del.icio.us
RICH USER EXPERIENCE
 Uses Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript + XML), HTML5 (for interactive video

and audio) presenting dynamic , rich user experience to users. These
technologies substitute old fashioned SWF Flash media and provide
webmasters with ability to insert dynamic video right into HTML code. If
everything is done right, videos will work in any web-browser and on any
device, for example with the help of
this video converter with HTML5 support.
 Since Web 2.0 doesn’t limit webmasters with tools, modern user experience
becomes reacher that ever.
 For example, Google Provided Google Maps and Google Suggest.
USER AS CONTRIBUTOR
 In tradition web, the information is often provided by the site owner and the
user is always the receiver. The information model was One Way . On the
other hand Web 2.0 user also contributes to the content by means of
Evaluation, Review & Commenting.
 The typical example is the Amazon.com – customer review section &
Google’s Page Rank mechanism.
LONG TAIL
 The traditional web was like a retail business the product is sold directly to
user and the revenue generated. But in web 2.0 the niche product is not sold
directly but offered as a service on demand basis and income is generated as
monthly fee and pay per consumption.
 The typical example is sales force CRM services and Google Apps
USER PARTICIPATION
 The users participate in content sourcing. This is also known as Crowd

sourcing.
 The typical examples are Wikipedia & You Tube.
SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE
 Software as a service is a software licensing and delivery model in which

software is licensed on a subscription basis and is centrally hosted. It is
sometimes referred to as "on-demand software", and was formerly referred
to as "software plus services" by Microsoft.
MASS PARTICIPATION
 Diverse information sharing through universal web access.

 Content is based on people from different culture.
 Static Web Page- is known as a flat page or stationary age in the sense that the
page is ‘’as is’’ and cannot be manipulated by the user. The content is also the
same for all users that is referred to as Web 1.0

Dynamic Web Pages– web 2.0 is the evolution of web 1.0 by adding dynamic
web pages. The user is able to see website differently than others e.g. social
networking sites, wikis, video sharing sites.
