WEEK 11
REFLECTION IN THIS WEEK
This week I have learned a meaningful and useful as you can see in this page. Because of this I have learned in developing a simple website by using Google Sites.
Develop simple web applications for managing information and other resources using available tools
The early website was for the most part a collection of “pages” of static information, updated and uploaded by hand. Low-bandwidth modem connections kept image sizes to a minimum, and the medium gravitated toward simple displays of text and smallish graphics.
Web 2.0 Applications
•Dynamic interactive web sites
•Typically with client / server communication patterns
•Famous for E-Commerce applications
•Web applications are generally:
•Easy to use (end-user focussed)
•Familiar: frequent use of standard controls
•You don’t need a manual to use them!
•Platform and machine independent
•No installation on client machine
•Easy to update (hit refresh!)
*Integration
* Office suites: Google docs
* Boards: Stixy
*Feed Reader: Google Reader, Feeds 2.0
*Communication
*Email: gmail
*Voicemail: SpinVox, Aptela, GotVoice, Odeo.
*Web Conferencing videoconferencing: Webex, GoToMeeting
*Voice over IP: Vyew
*Microblogging / status: Jaiku, Twitter, Pownc
*Media players and digial artifacts sharing
*Music Player: MP3tunes, ajaxTunes, Jinzora
*Learning management systems / e-learning
*LearnHub
*Edu20.org
*Unison
A Few Web 2.0 Definitions
•RSS: for “Rich Site Summary”—this technology delivers blog posts and any other content in a highly portable form, so they may be read in a user’s personalized homepage or “feed reader” software. It is used to publish frequently updated works.
•WIDGETS: Small, freestanding programs—pieces of HTML and programming code—that can be pasted into any web page. They use JavaScript, DHTML, Flash, or other language to carry out some dynamic action. Web visitor counters, mini games, clocks, calendars, horoscopes, weather forecasts, and stock tickers are all examples of common widget applications. They may also be called “web widgets,” “snippets” or “modules,” and Google likes to call them “gadgets.”
•SaaS: “Software as a Service”—Software applications that are hosted on the internet and delivered on demand, through a web browser. SaaS is the Web 2.0 answer to the traditional software model of shrink-wrapped products, installed on a user’s PC or on the local network.
Web Information Systems
•What is a Web Information System (WIS)?
•An information system using WWW as part of the deployment and implementation technology
-Deployment: Web as communication mechanism
-Implementation: Web as distributed computing platform
•Different Types of WIS
•Informational
-Disseminate information (static or dynamic)
-Share information (among visitors or WISs)
•Transactional
-Conduct transactional business (B2C, C2C, B2B…)
-Perform tasks (simple, complex and collaborative)
Access the Internet – library system
•Open your browser
•Click on ebrary/books24x7 link
•Search for a book on web 2.0 technologies
•Write a 200-word summary from the book chosen. Indicate the title, author, publisher and year in your summary.
Case study – Learning Management Systems (LMS)
•Search on the internet the definition of Learning Management Systems (LMS) and give three examples of LMS.
•Read the handout 10.1.1: Moodle Helps a Business School Overcome Administrative Challenges.
•Describe the situation faced in the case study.
•Identify what are the main problems in the case study.
•Explain how Moodle the learning management system can solve these problems.
