WHAT IS IT
ICT in the Philippines
Philippines is dub as the “ICT Hub of Asia” because of huge growth of ICTrelated jobs, one of which is BPO, Business Process Outsourcing, or call centers. In
a data gathered by the Annual Survey of Philippines Business and Industries in 2010,
the ICT industry shares 19.3% of the total employment population.
When the internet was fully commercialized in 1995, it has tremendously
impacted culture and commerce, including the rise of near instant communication by
email, instant messaging, telephony (Voice over Internet Protocol or VoIP), two-way
interactive video calls, and the World Wide Web with its discussion forums,
blogs, social networking, and online shopping sites. Internet is the global system of
interconnected computer networks that uses the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to
communicate between networks and devices.

The World Wide Web
The World Wide Web is an information system on the Internet that allows
documents to be connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user
to search for information by moving from one document to another. It was invented by
Tim-Berners Lee. The World Wide Web browser software, such as Microsoft's Internet
Explorer/Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Apple's Safari, and Google Chrome, let users
navigate from one web page to another via the hyperlinks embedded in the
documents. These documents may also contain any combination of computer data,
including graphics, sounds, text, video, multimedia and interactive content that runs
while the user is interacting with the page. The Web has enabled individuals and
organizations to publish ideas and information to a potentially large audience online at
greatly reduced expense and time delay.
Types of Web Pages
•
Web 1.0 or The Web. It is the first stage of the World Wide Web evolution. It is
a flat or stationary page since it cannot be manipulated by the user.
•
Web 2.0 or The Social Web allows users to interact with the page, the user
may be able to comment or create a user account. Most website that we visit
today are Web 2.0.
•
Web 3.0 or Semantic Web. The semantic web provides a framework that
allows data to be shared and reuse to deliver web content specifically targeting
the user. Search Engine will learn about you and your habits from each search
you perform and will gather details about you from your previous activities like
likes and social postings and present the answers as per your preferences.

Lesson 3.3: Evaluating Sites
The web provides access to some excellent information and can also give access
to those that are irrelevant and outdated. Here is some checklist that you can use to
evaluate your website:
1. Authority. It reveals that the person, institution or agency responsible for a site
has the qualifications and knowledge to do so. Evaluating a web site for
authority:
✓ Authorship: It should be clear who developed the site.
✓ Contact information should be clearly provided: e-mail address, snail
mail address, phone number, and fax number.
✓ Credentials: the author should state qualifications, credentials, or
personal background that gives them authority to present information.
✓ Check to see if the site supported by an organization or a commercial
body
2. Purpose. The purpose of the information presented in the site should be clear.
Some sites are meant to inform, persuade, state an opinion, entertain, or
parody something or someone. Evaluating a web site for purpose:
✓ Does the content support the purpose of the site?
✓ Is the information geared to a specific audience (students, scholars,
general reader)?
✓ Is the site organized and focused?
✓ Are the outside links appropriate for the site?
✓ Does the site evaluate the links?
3. Coverage. This refers to how comprehensive the website is in their discussion
of certain topics. Evaluating a web site for coverage:
✓ Does the site claim to be selective or comprehensive?
✓ Are the topics explored in depth?
✓ Compare the value of the site’s information compared to other similar
sites.
38

✓ Do the links go to outside sites rather than its own?
✓ Does the site provide information with no relevant outside links?
4. Currency. It refers to: (1) how current the information presented is, and (2)
how often the site is updated or maintained. It is important to know when a site
was created, when it was last updated, and if all of the links are current.
Evaluating a web site for currency involves finding the date information was:
✓ first written
✓ placed on the web
✓ last revised
5. Objectivity. Objective sites present information with a minimum of bias.
Evaluating a web site for objectivity:
✓ Is the information presented with a particular bias?
✓ Does the information try to sway the audience?
✓ Does site advertising conflict with the content?
✓ Is the site trying to explain, inform, persuade, or sell something?
6. Accuracy. It refers to the credibility of the website. Evaluating a web site for
accuracy:
✓ Reliability: Is the author affiliated with a known, respectable institution?
✓ References: do statistics and other factual information receive proper
references as to their origin?
✓ Is the information comparable to other sites on the same topic?
✓ Does the text follow basic rules of grammar, spelling and composition?
✓ Is a bibliography or reference list included?
