. Webpage Design* - Purpose: To present info clearly, attract and keep users, and guide them to take action. - Key Design Principles:
1. Navigation: Menus should be simple, consistent on every page. Use breadcrumbs for
deep sites.
2. Layout: Use grid systems. Keep important content "above the fold". White space
improves readability.
3. Visual Hierarchy: Size, color, and contrast to show what matters. Headings H1 > H2 >
H3.
4. Consistency: Same fonts, colors, button styles across all pages.
5. Accessibility: Alt text for images, good color contrast, keyboard navigation. Follows
WCAG guidelines.
6. Responsive Design: Page adjusts to mobile, tablet, desktop. Uses relative units like %
and `em`. - Common Elements: Header, navigation bar, content area, sidebar, footer, CTA buttons.

2. Impact of ICT on the Workplace - Positive Impacts:
1. Automation: Repetitive tasks done by software. Ex: payroll systems, robotic assembly.
2. Communication: Email, video calls, Slack. Enables remote work and global teams.
3. Productivity: Tools like project management software and cloud docs speed up work.
4. New Jobs: IT support, data analysts, social media managers, web developers.
5. Flexibility: Teleworking, flexitime, hot-desking supported by cloud and mobile tech. - Negative Impacts:
1. Job Loss: Automation replaces manual/clerical roles. Ex: bank tellers, factory
workers.
2. Deskilling: Workers rely on systems and lose manual skills.
3. Health Issues: RSI, eye strain, sedentary lifestyle from computer use.
4. Security Risks: Hacking, phishing, data breaches. Need for strong cybersecurity.
5. Digital Divide: Staff without IT skills get left behind. Requires retraining.

3. Data Capture - Definition: Process of collecting data and converting it into a form a computer can
process. - Methods:
Method How it works Example Pros Cons
Manual Person types data in Keyboard entry Cheap setup Slow, prone to
errors
OCR Scans printed text into editable text Scanning forms Fast for bulk text
Errors with poor handwriting
OMR Detects marks on paper Multiple choice exams Very fast, accurate
Only for preset positions
Barcode
