This chapter explores visual design and the methods used to develop Web site storyboards and screen creation. This process is a critical step in the Web portfolio design process because it enables visual persuasion and allows for a cohesive composition throughout the product. Many Web portfolio sites are poorly designed visually. The reasons surrounding this are too many to be discussed fully in this text. However, we will take a proactive approach and explain the qualities that are important in good visual design of Web pages. In addition, we will look at some bad Web portfolio design attributes to get a sense of what is not quite effective when it comes to visual persuasion. The notion of bad design is subjective, but also, design has objective, measurable attributes that lead to visual quality. Many bad designs come from non-art and non-visual disciplines. Technology experts may be poor designers because they focus too much on technology bells and whistles and less on the user. However, design is emergent and eventually everyone can get better with practice and exposure to design. I hope this chapter will act as a catalyst for people who already have a Web portfolio to assess the quality of their design. I would like the new readers to begin to build good habits in their actions as visual and communication designers. Regardless of discipline, when you create a Web portfolio you become a designer. You are developing an information product that serves to solve a communication problem. Therefore, you are playing the role of information designer, communication designer, and graphic designer. These are roles which you must take seriously because they affect persuasion and appearance. Making your Web portfolio site look good is as important as feeling good about it, because if it looks good and you feel good about it, you’ll tell people about it. Remember, the goal of the Web portfolio is to promote you and your accomplishments, so looks count.

In this study we investigated how 14- to 17-year-olds (n = 48) search the web for information about unsettled scientific dilemmas. In particular, we addressed to what extent adolescents' capability to appraise accurate web sources, learn, and mold informed opinions is influenced by the quality of their online search strategies, the control they exert over the online search experience, and the experience they have while searching the web for relevant factual information. Our results show that adolescents' learning resulting from independent online search was not influenced by their search strategies and was generally quite poor, although they did identify and consult the most relevant and informative web sources. Interestingly, we found that having active control over the search process enhanced participants' learning and retention of factual information, but following the search process more passively increased their capability to reflect on, process, and elaborate on the information found on the web. This latter aspect was also positively influenced by having greater experience searching the web to perform school assignments. Taken together, these findings can inform educational practices, supporting the development and implementation of more effective interventions to empower the conscientious use and successful mastery of the pseudo-infinite information available on the web, and highlighting the crucial role of schools in equipping students with the necessary training, strategies, tools and guidance.

In this chapter, the main avant-garde components that favor quality on the web are disclosed, especially from the perspectives of software and design. At the same time, the deviations of these components that slow down these processes from the technical-human point of view are presented. In this dualistic perspective, the role of education is included in each of the generations of users, programmers, and publishers of digital content on the web, as well as the context in which they are immersed. A triadic vision of past, present and future is presented in each of the aspects and components, directly and indirectly related, with the development of operations, models, and methods, which converge in obtaining a high quality of the web. Finally, parallels are drawn between the formal science professions and infinite semiosis in web engineering.

Health is one parameter that is often used as a measure of the welfare of a region. Jambi City has 20 health centers spread across 8 sub-districts and has a duty to serve the entire community of Jambi City. The classic problem that always arises in the integration of data raises a mature unsuitability to the accuracy of the patient's diagnosis. Web services are the perfect answer to use as a data centralization medium, with their superiority in terms of capacity, speed and security of the web service very apt to be implemented in the integration of crucial data such as health data. Supported by artificial intelligence applied to be used as an assistant to the role of a physician in the diagnosis process, this application is suitable for use on every line of health institutions as a step to improve the quality of service to the community.

The online sources of the web, since years, are an extraordinarily important base of information and knowledge. Indeed, the web is one of the best access point to any type of information. For the users who want to share their knowledge, the wiki system is a powerful tool. Nevertheless, any system has its limits. The investigation on the contributions performance of individual contributors is yet unexplored because it is partly related to the design of wikis which is considered for collaborative work. Consequently, this has made the assessment and evaluation of individual contributions a hard task. In this research, we will attempt to emphasize the significance of distinguishing the relevant articles based on the opinions of contributors and their contributions. In this way, we will focus on the utilization of data mining using clusters analysis and k-means algorithm techniques.

This article introduces Cognitive Health Counseling 40+ (CH.CO40+), an individualized intervention that is conceptually based on the orchestration model of quality-of-life management ( Martin & Kliegel, 2010 ) and aims at improving satisfaction with cognitive health in adults aged 40 years and older. We describe the theoretically deduced characteristics of CH.CO40+, its target group, its multifactorial nature, its individualization, the application of subjective and objective measures, the role of participants as agents of change, and the rationale for choosing participants’ satisfaction with their cognitive health as main outcome variable. A pilot phase with 15 middle-aged and six older adults suggests that CH.CO40+ attracts, and may be particularly suitable for, subjective memory complainers. Implications of the pilot data for the further development of the intervention are discussed.
