_________________________.
There are many things I
learned about Online
Platform. But the most
important is
_______________.
Collaborative platforms are a category of
business software that adds comprehensive
social networking capabilities to work
developments. In the previous lesson, you
learned how Social media develop a digital tool
that allows users to quickly create and share
content with the public. It includes a wide
range of websites and applications.
Collaborative
ICT Development
Online Collaboration Simply
put, online collaboration lets a group
of people work together in real-time
over the internet.
Web Conference - provides live
audio/video communication between
two or more locations to conduct
meetings, training, or presentations via
the Internet.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
ONLINE COLLABORATION
AND WEB CONFERENCE
The difference between Online Collaboration and
Web conference is that Online collaboration is
sharing information to each other to come with a
way to achieve the group goal. While in Web
Conference is more like a meeting to discuss about a
certain topic.
WHY DO ONLINE COLLABORATION?

• Requires more critical thinking: mind set: it’s not just about content;
it’s about cultivating a deeper understanding

• More problem solving

• Prepare students for college (peer-to-peer)

• More engaging

• Going beyond the classroom walls (other schools in district,

communities, countries, etc)

• Becoming more aware of the real world

SECURITY IS ESSENTIAL IN
ONLINE COLLABORATION
❑ Encryption- additional layer of
security that makes content unreadable for
people with malicious intent.
❑ SSL (Secure Socket Layer)- is the
standard security technology for establishing an
encrypted link between a web server and a
browser.
A GOOD COLLABORATIVE TOOL:
❑ Is easy to use;
❑ Has features that will fit your purpose;
❑ Are user-friendly and focused on real-time updates;
and
❑ Gives importance to security.
ONLINE COLLABORATION TOOLS

What are online collaboration tools and web portals, why
are they important?
Online collaboration tool enables a more coordinated
workflow by providing a unified platform for team
discussion, file sharing, online storage for documentation,
task assignments, and real-time project collaboration. At
their heart, collaboration tools are all about aligning people.
WEB PORTAL
Web Portal – is a
website that contains
information from
different sources and
places them in one
location in a uniform
way.
 Collaborative ICT
Content
Collaborative ICT
Content are tools that can
help your group “go the
distance” and work as if
you already have your own
office. Working together
does not necessarily mean
you have to be physically
together.
“Online Collaborative Tools are most
effective if the group members are
WILLING to achieve a common
goal”.
Look at the pictures of some of the most commonly visited
Web Portals below.
Indicate the type of portals they represent. Write your
answers in another sheet of paper.
Let us try to observe some of the influences they
have made in our society. And find out what does
each Portals have contributed in the lives of the
individuals.
Guide Questions:
1. What do these Portals have shared?
2. How did each and every individual use it?
3. What accountability/ies do these Portals show
to their audiences and users?

friends you have, the more content you get.

◼ These Portals have impacts in the lives of the individuals in

our society.

◼ We must use online collaborative tools effectively and

developments for our country.
