ICT DEVELOPMENT
 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
 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

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
Using Google Drive for Collaboration
In creating and necessary. It will be safe and convenient if the content will be stored on clouds and
o-creating ICT content, storage, and organization of files is
available for the members to edit and organize anytime, anywhere. However, each
member should be responsible in keeping the files.
Google Drive provides a service for file storage on clouds and collaboration for
online sharing, editing, and organizing through "Shared Folders."
A. Steps in Creating Folder/s in Google Drive
1. Make sure that each member has a Google account.
2. Sign-in to your Google Drive account.
3. Create a folder by clicking “New.” Then a pop-up window will appear
then, click “Folder.”
5. You can create as many folders as necessary for the project by repeating step
3 to 4.
2. A pop–up window will appear. You have two options on how you will
share a folder. It can be “Restricted” or “Anyone with the link.” Click the
drop-down list button below the text input box of “Get link” and a popup window will appear. Then, click your
chosen mode of folder sharing.
2.2.B. Click “Copy link” and paste the link in an email or any place you want to
share it like private message, chat group, or group page.
4. Once the team members received the link, they may now access the folder by
clicking it. They can now upload, organize, and edit file on the shared folder.
Online Platforms for Hosting ICT Content
After creating and finalizing your content, it is now ready to be published online.
Platforms that may be currently used to host newsletters and similar ICT content
include the following:
• Presentation/ visualization (Prezi, Soho, Slideshare, Mindmeister)
• Cloud computing (Google Apps)
• Social Media (Facebook Pages, Tumblr)
• Web Page Creation (Wix, Weebly)
• Blog sites (Blogger, Wordpress, Livejournal, Issuu)
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.
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:
 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.
