Week 2: Basic Concept of Webpage

In this week, we learned about Basic Concept of Webpage. This class was conducted by Dr. Dayana. Before the class start, Dr. Dayana explained more and detail about assignment and evaluation. 

Here, I concluded what I must do in our group assignment.

1) Website should have learning theories & learning strategies.

2)Appropriate website suitable with target audience.

3)Must do the proposal first before developing website and must be approved

4) Do the evaluation (Formative & Summative). 

   (i) Formative Evaluation (Alpha Testing) is a continuous testing which conducted before the website   published. This test will involve expertise such as content and multimedia expert.

   (ii)Summative Evaluation (Beta Testing) is conducted at the end of the development. This test will involve real user.
5) Format Hardcopy of assignment

   i)Black tape binding

   ii)Blue Coverpage

So enough with the assignment, lets start with what i have learned in basic concept of webpage. I learned what is webpage, website, CMS, LMS, portal and blog.

1)Webpage- a one piece document that consist in website

2)Website- a collection of webpages which hosted on one or more servers

3)CMS-CMS or Content Management System is a computer software system that use to organize and facilated collaborative creation of documents and other content

4)LMS-LMS or Learning Management System is a set of software tools that designed to manage learning intervations. 

Example: Moodle, SAKAI etc.

5)Portal- pages that intended to serve as main page or gateway 

   Example: Yahoo, CNET and Niche (tutor.com.my which is for education)

6)Blog- a website that usually maintained by individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events or other material such as video or graphics.

At the end of this class, we also had a discussion about this:

1. Personal web development using web authoring software vs CMS vs blog?

2.Educational web development using web authoring software vs LMS vs blog?

I had this discussion with Vicki and we conclude that we choose blog in personal web development. This is because it is easy, an open source and at the same time can earn money. Example of blog is blogger.com . I have experience using it and now i use it for writing my reflection in certain subject courses. For Educational web development, we choose LMS such as MOODLE. This is because it is free and open source coding and no need to develop a website from a scratch.. hee..
