  8. WWW and Internet TechnologyBasic Concepts in Computer Networking Personal Computer (PC)

  9. WWW and Internet TechnologyBasic Concepts in Computer Networking Computer Network A group of two or more computers linked together.

  10. WWW and Internet TechnologyBasic Concepts in Computer Networking Local Area Network (LAN) A computer network where the computers are geographically close together (that is, in the same building).

  11. WWW and Internet TechnologyBasic Concepts in Computer Networking Sino Building 614 M1, Ho Tim Building Web Server mailserv ftp server Wide Area Network (WAN) A computer network that spans a relatively large geographical area. Typically, a WAN consists of two or more LAN.

  12. WWW and Internet TechnologyBasic Concepts in Computer Networking CUHK Internet • Internet • A global network connecting millions of computers. • INTERnational NETwork

  13. World Wide Web • WWW or the Web. • consists of a network of computers which provide Web pages to Internet users. • These pages consist of hypertext which includes text (and pictures) to provide information along with links to other Web pages. • Users access these pages using a browser which uses the addresses of the links to connect to and download the pages.

  14. WWW and Internet Technology Internet Access www.yahoo.com You Internet Access from a LAN You can access the Internet if you are connected to a LAN, which is connected to the Internet.

  15. WWW and Internet TechnologyInternet Services – Web Browsing Use HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) Supported by the Web Server Client needs a Web-browser to access the web pages Web page Web Server Web Client (via browser)

  16. WWW and Internet TechnologyInternet Services - Webpage • A Web page may contain text, images (.gif, .jpg format), audio, video objects as well as hyperlinks • A hyperlink links to another Internet object, which is specified by a URL (Unique Resource Locator) • There are two types of hyperlink: • Text based hyperlink • Image based hyperlink • A URL is the address of a particular Internet object http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/fed/tutorial.html Directory name Protocol Server name File name

  17. The HTTP Protocols • The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the set of rules for exchanging files (text, graphic images, sound, video, and other multimedia files) on the World Wide Web • It is the default protocol used in the web browsers

  18. WWW and Internet TechnologyInternet Services – File Download • FTP (File Transfer Protocol) – an Internet Protocol used to exchange files between computers on the Internet • Let’s try the followings: • ftp://ftp.cuhk.edu.hk • http://www.cuhk.edu.hk

  19. The File Transfer Protocols • The File Transfer Protocols (FTP) is a kind of protocol used in file transfer between two computers. It is commonly used: • When you have created some web pages and want to transfer it to the Web Server • When you download files from some FTP sites on the Internet

  20. Using FTP to upload and download File download upload Web Server Other users To publish a webpage, you need to upload the corresponding files to the web server. Your PC

  21. Upload the web pages usingWS_FTP (an FTP software) • Start WS_FTP • Click on the WSFTP logo • Or 開始 -> 程式集 -> Internet Tools -> WS_FTP • Create a new FTP profile: Click to create a new profile The name of the server Your account ID Your password

  22. Using FTP iHome: ftp://iHome.cuhk.edu.hk Login: sxxxxxx Password: xxxxxx Learning Community: ftp:/course.fed.cuhk.edu.hk Login and Password: to be assigned by the system.

  23. Upload the web pages usingWS_FTP (an FTP software) Transfer your local files to the server: The files are uploaded to the server using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Files in your local hard disk Files on the server under your own directory Click on the arrow to upload the files

  24. Internet/Intranet ApplicationsIntranet • Intranet • An internal parts of a company’s web pages • Private, can only access within the organization • Contains information and services which can only access by the staff and employees/students within an organization • Security is important • Use firewalls to restrict access from outside network • Sometimes need login

  25. Internet/Intranet ApplicationsIntranet • Example: • http://www.lib.cuhk.edu.hk/electronic/jol.htm • Only students/staffs from CUHK can access to the above link (CU intranet) • Only computers that are directly connected to the CU network can access to the server hosting these information information • Example: • https://extranet.hku.hk/apptunit/ • You cannot access the “For HKU Staff Only” session

  26. Internet/Intranet ApplicationsIntranet • Only computers which are “behind” the firewall can access to the Intranet Web Server Intranet Web Server Internet Web Server Firewall (block external traffic) Internet Organization LAN/WAN

  27. Internet/Intranet ApplicationsNewsgroups and Discussion Forums • Purpose: a place for exchanging information within a group of people • Web based vs. non-web based • Discussion groups: Web based http://www2.fed.cuhk.edu.hk/ited/AppOfComp/Forum.htm • Newsgroups: Non-web based news://news.cuhk.edu.hk/cuhk.forum • For newsgroups (non-web based), newsgroup client software is needed. You also need to subscribe to the newsgroup first • (compare with hotmail and mailserv)

  28. ICQ (I seek you) • ICQ ("I seek you"), • the popular instant-messaging program that lets you communicate with friends and colleagues in real time. • To seek out a friend on the ICQ network, simply enter his or her ICQ number, name, nickname, or email address. • Once your contact list is set up, you'll be notified when your friends are online so that you can chat; send instant messages, files, and URLs; play games; or just hang out.

  29. Windows Live Messenger

  30. Skype

  31. Internet Filtering • There are very little control (or no control at all) over the contents that post in the Internet • Not all are suitable for students/children • Requires Internet filtering software to block unwanted sites http://www.we-blocker.com/ http://www.surfcontrol.com

  32. Learning VillagesGame-base Learning Environment

  33. Knowledge Structure in LV Issue Views Relationship

  34. Learning Villages • A system for students to learn while playingStudents • A virtual world composed of villages and castles • A village for the discussion around a topic • A castle represents a WebQuest task • A participant can build a village to raise a topic for discussion • A participant can build a house to express own view • Game elements to attract participants

  35. A Topic Village • A village represent a topic, and is governed by a governor. • A villager can build houses to represent own view • A villager can respond to other views by: • Build a new house to represent own view, and link this newly build house to others. The road represents the relationship between the two houses. • Go inside a house to make simple responses.

  36. Relationship between views (houses) • Houses are linked by roads, each of which represents a relationship like: • My response is…… • Deal with this first…. • My reflection is • This is related to • I have a different opinion • Please try compare with this • My analysis is • Others • The aims is to encourage developing new views and thinking

  37. Simple Responses – within a house • Yes, I agree • No, I disagree • Neutral

  38. How Knowledge Construction happens What is WebQuest? My response is An inquiry-based activity on the web My response is Searching on the Web ----------------- I disagree Deal with this first What is inquiry I have different opinion This just web-searching house road

  39. How you can initiate and maintain discussion • Decide on a theme for project-based learning • Develop a Topic Village • Assist discussion – build house to • Arouse discussion • Guide discussion • Guide discussion to the right track and delete those irrelevant houses, however, houses with wrong idea can leave there for students’ reference.

  40. How to ensure quality views • Personal Reputations • All participants can grade every message posted. • No. of responses to a View posted • No. of WebQuest tasks finished and their qualities • Hall of Fame • Governor and the Police (warrior)
