My ICT Project Implementation Experienced

 Q1

ICT projects in education may entail great expense and complexity. The key considerations outlined here increase the likelihood of effective project design, cost-eff ective implementation, and impact.

Know why ICT is being used

• Focus the use of ICT on enhancing the scope of learning activities in the classroom or the scale of TPD initiatives—not on learning to use computers and the Internet.

Incorporate specific tools to meet specific needs

• Every technology enables specific actions and incurs limitations.  Tools must be appropriate to program objectives.

Match ICT to infrastructure

• Each ICT tool off ers its full range of capacities when it is supported by adequate infrastructure. Select tools that will work under the conditions that exist in schools where they will be used.

Match ICT to human resources and learning resources

• Enlist the aid of experts to analyze requirements in advance. Push for comprehensive analysis.

Combine different tools for enhanced impact

• Use familiar and proven tools whenever possible, but always think creatively about technology problems and about combinations of tools that can solve them.

Prepare for complexity

• The introduction of any ICT solution to a TPD program increases the complexity of the entire system.  Behavior in complex systems—which include both schools and IT projects—is diffi cult to predict.

Remain flexible

• Start small, monitor and assess results every step of the way. Plan “adaptation waypoints” at which projects will be modified to address problems.

Commit enough time and money to allow ICT to realize its potential

• Every program of change in education takes time. Supporting change through ICT may increase the number of teachers that are reached, and may make changes in teacher behavior more profound. However, introducing ICT means adding more steps—for delivery and installation, content development, training of trainers, hiring of mentors, and guidance for end users in adoption of the new tools. Introducing ICT may increase the time required for results to emerge.

Keep in mind that ICT supports solutions; it is not the solution

• ICT fails to live up to its promise when planners and policymakers focus on technology to the exclusion of more important contributors to eff ective education. ICT can help increase teachers’ capacities but will do so only when it is used to support programs that meet the full range of human, instructional and physical requirements for successful TPD.

Q2

The amount of time that I'm going to spend in doing my project and other works at home. Finding of resources and other support information which can help in achieving the success of my project.

Q3

A. Convince the users

Why should users do what you want them to do? Before a visitor is willing to complete a task, they have to recognize the need. Take infomercials for example. Before they ask people to respond, they identify a problem and present a product that solves that problem.

Communicate the benefits of your call to action. What will the user get out of completing the task in the call to action?

B. Offer something extra

Sometimes you may have to sweeten the deal to encourage users to complete a call to action. Incentives could include discounts, entry into a competition or a free gift.

C. Use active language

A call to action should be crystal clear and tell users what you want them to do. You should include active words such as:

• Like
• Register
• Subscribe
• Donate

All of these words encourage users to take action. Also, you may want to create a sense of urgency and need to act now. Use these words alongside phrases such as:

• Offer expires December 31st
• For a short time only
• Order now and receive a free gift

D. Use White Space

To make your call to action even more prominent, don’t just rely on location. Use the space around it – whitespace. More space around the call to action will get more attention to it. If you clutter up your call to action with surrounding content, visitors will not see it on the page.

E. Use alternative colors

The color is an effective way of drawing attention to elements, especially if you use alternative colors. For example, if your website uses blue and gray, your call to action will work very well in highlighted orange. This extreme contrast leaves your users in no doubt as to the next thing they should do.

F. Size matters

Make your call to action big! We have already established that location, color, and white space are important. However, the size does play a crucial part. The bigger your call to action, the more chance your visitors will notice it.

G. Have a call to action on every page

A call to action should not just be limited to the homepage or landing page. Every page of your site should have some form of a call to action that leads the user on. If the visitor reaches a dead-end, they will leave without responding to your CTA.

H. Bring it home

You have created an awesomely clear call to action, and the visitor clicks on it, now what? You need to plan the rest of the process as carefully as the call to action itself. So consider what happens when a user responds to your call to action. The process should be as simple as possible. Don’t ask for any information you don’t need.

I. Don’t overdo it

Make sure you don’t ask for too much. If they are looking at a car, “proceed to checkout” might be an overkill. Maybe use “book a test drive”. In each step of the sales funnel there are actions that people are willing to take. If you ask for more in that point you will lose them.

Q4

I'm going to rate my knowledge in creating ICT project by basing on the outcome of my said project if it turns out good or need a little more improvement.

Q5

I'm going to rate myself 7.

Q6

I had that rating for myself because I still need to learn more about ICT and improvement in making ICT project. I should acquire more knowledge about it in order to properly do it more proficiently than before.
