Lesson 1 |
Using Multimedia to Create a Content-Rich Online Environment |
In today’s era, people around the globe are so much exposed with different digital technologies and applications. Most of those are the 21st Century Leaners or you, a Senior High Student.
Multimedia
There are many definitions of multimedia in the internet now a days but in general, it is a combination of one or more media such as text, graphics, drawings, and images, audio, video and animations.
When all
these resources are combine, interactive applications will be produced.
Interactivity is the fundamental feature of multimedia. It is the user ability
to interact with a certain application. Multimedia allows the content to be
presented in a nonlinear way, which allows the reader to be active rather than
passive. It is the user who will determine what content should be delivered,
when should be delivered, and how would it be delivered. Now, please see the image below.

Lesson 2 |
The World Wide Web |
The World Wide Web is commonly called as “the Web”. This is a place where we can retrieve services of the Internet. Some services is online shopping, online jobs, social media sites and even video sites.
As a Senior High Student, you are using the
World Wide Web in your research and assignments or even creating your own blog
sites. The Web has diverse information from different authors, writers and
contributors, that’s why many researchers are more in favor of using legitimate
journals website for research purposes. Now consider the data statistics below.

Data Source: https://www.internetworldstats.com/stats3.htm#asia Internet Use Statistics as of June 30, 2019 |
The above image implies that the Philippines was ranked number six (6) among Asian Countries. Our country has 79,000,000 users of internet as of June 30, 2019 from the total population of 109,581,078 according to UN data.
The image shows that many Filipinos are exposed to the World Wide Web and most likely a lot of Filipinos from preschoolers to working citizens are using the internet regardless of the reason and purpose.
History of the WWW
In March 1989, an English engineer, computer scientist and a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, envisioned the
Web document
called “Information Management: A Proposal”. That person refers to
Tim Berners Lee. He invented the World Wide Web.

The Three (3) fundamental technologies of today’s Web are:
1. HTML: HyperText Markup Language. A language for the Web that comes in mark up tags. Mark up tags is written in pair. Example of mark up tags is <body> </body>. You can see this in all websites coding.
2. URI: Uniform Resource Identifier. A unique identifier of website address on Web resources. It is also commonly called a URL (Uniform Resource Locator).

Lesson 5 |
ICT Project for Social Change |
Did you know that Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) is one of the popular advocacy group here in the Philippines? Have you wondered how did they come up with the idea of creating the organization? How did that organization reach the different parts of the Philippines? Using Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as a medium of communication and even having their own official website makes it easier for them to spread their goal to prevent animal cruelty through education. In this module you will learn how to develop a working ICT Project for Social Change.
PROJECT: PERFORMANCE TASK 1: Creating a Concept Paper
After identifying & evaluating a cause or issue for social change, you need to create your own concept paper. A concept paper plays a valuable role in the early stages of creating or conceptualizing ideas for your project.
According to a presentation made by Mark Jhon Oxillo (2018), a concept paper has 5 basic parts, namely:
a. Introduction – this includes a brief introduction of your ICT Project for Social
Change
b. Purpose – part of the concept paper where you can find the reason why this project is worth investing for.
c. Description – this includes the important information about your project.
d. Support – this includes the budget for the ICT project. It involves the things that you need like internet connection, social media account. Anything that you are going to use to produce your ICT project should be found here.
e. Contact Information – this includes information about the group, and how can they be contacted. (e.g. emails, contact number)
Below is a sample of a concept paper:

Project Name Drive ko BEH (Basic Etiquette on Highways)
Introduction Nowadays owning a vehicle is very accessible, because of this people tend to own a vehicle. Most of them bought it for convenience, others are for show but the question is that do these people have the etiquette & knowledge about how they take their vehicles on the road?
Purpose This project aims to provide a solution to create a way where people will be educated on the proper driving etiquette & safety tips through ICT.
Description Basic Etiquette on Highways (BEH) is an information platform which aims to educate motorists about traffic rules using the popular social media sites such as twitter, facebook, Instagram, etc. Features of BEH includes uploading of media (photos, videos, audios, etc) where users and page administrator can interact with each other.
Support
The estimated budget for the project is 1,500 pesos. It is also recommended to tap organizations such as LTO and local government unit of barangay Bagontaas to assist in giving information about the basic traffic rules.
Contact InformationThe proponents can be contacted through the following: Email – example_email@gmail.com Cell number – 09066202598

Do you have any idea about what is audience profiling?
Audience profiling is the act of processing about who are the target users/customer of your ICT project. It usually study and process the basic profile of your users like their age, income, sex, location, behavior etc.
Demographics – According to a blog by Susan E. DeFranzo demographics 26 are characteristics of a population. Characteristics such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, education, profession, occupation, income level, and marital status, are all typical examples of demographics that are used in surveys.
In designing a survey, you need to know who to survey and how to analyze all of the survey response data into meaningful groups of respondents.
Psychographics – Psychographics are just like demographics, but it focuses on your users’ values, behavior, habits in spending their money, hobbies, attitude, etc.
Create an online survey tool intended for your targeted users. You need to formulate questions where in the users/members of your ICT project know what actions can they do with your ICT project. You can use the free online survey tool using google forms. Just visit https://www.google.com/forms/about/.

Lesson 6 |
ICT Project Implementation |
Now that you are done planning and conceptualizing your ICT project for social change, and started making your website, it’s now time to analyze how target or intended users and audiences are expected to respond to the proposed ICT project for social change on the basis of content, value, and user experience.
In this part of the lesson, you are going to write textual content and integrate rich multimedia in designing of your ICT project for social change using your preferred social media platforms or blogging platform.
In creating your website, these are things you need to know:
1. Content
ü Guidelines on user participation to the website. Think about on how the user can contribute to the website.
ü Mission statement. Think of an appropriate tagline of your website.
ü Sections. Think of what to include in your website like registration forms, calendar of activities, and list of artwork.
2. Design
ü Platform. Decide what platform to use; it could either be social media platform or blogging platform.
ü Multimedia content. Decide whether to include background music, videos and photos in your website that would encourage or motivate the user to participate in a call to action.
3. Value
ü Interest. Think of the ways that will motivate your intended audience to participate in your website like ease in communication enabled by ICT, access to materials and empowering support for the art and culture based creative outputs.
PROJECT: PERFORMANCE TASK 2: Creating an ICT Project
You need to create and develop an ICT Project for Social Change relating to an issue relevant to your professional track. Samples of these advocacies or projects include but are not restricted to:
