What It Is
LESSON 1: COLLABORATIVE ICT DEVELOPMENT

Nowadays, the field of Information and Communication Technology offers a variety of ways to
connect and collaborate with people around the world. Online collaboration allows people to
generate content, reflection, review while making modifications process visible to others. A team
may work together even though they are in different areas with the use of collaboration tools
and can easily get feedback and approval from the group they are working on.
Team structure and dynamics for ICT content aims to discover the ways such tools can
enhance communication and collaboration among groups/teams and promotes the choice of an
ICT tool for two different projects. Thus, in this digital age, collaboration tools have found to
significantly improved work efficiency, productivity, and promote innovation.
Web Portals
A Web Portal is a specially designed website that provides information catered from
various sources such as emails, online forums, search engines on one platform, in a uniform
way. It is a personalized and customized library that helps in navigation and personalization of
notifications that provide well-integrated information from diverse sources with advanced
features such as task management, collaboration, business intelligence, etc.
An example of a web portal is the Microsoft Network! (www.msn.com). MSN is a
collection of Internet services and apps for Windows and mobile devices, provided by Microsoft
where news, email, weather, etc. are found on one page.

Sometimes the terms "website" and "portal" are used interchangeably, and this usage
isn't entirely inaccurate but do you know the difference between website vs portal? By definition,
a website is a location on the internet that is unique and which is accessed via a web browser
using a specific URL (web address). Portals are also accessed via a web browser and specific
URL, but the content is login protected and user-specific (Sukta, 2015).
Online Collaborative Tools

Collaboration is the situation of two or more people working together to create or achieve
the same thing. More and more people, especially at this time are going digital and enabling
partially or completely remote workforces. Wikipedia defines collaboration software as, “An
application software designed to help people involved in a common task to achieve goals.” And
for benefits, it goes on to say: “A collaborative working environment supports people in both
their individual and cooperative work thus evolving into a new class of professionals, e-
professionals, who can work together irrespective of their geographical location.”
Online Collaboration is the process of connecting users digitally to communicate in an
online space. Online collaboration is usually supplemented using a software system that lets
team members chat using video, audio and text. There are many great online tools available,
which can help your team accomplish its goals, manage workflow, and provide the most recent
version of files in real-time, so work can get done any time of the day.

Advantages of using online collaborative tools
