How Websites Move Information for Communication:

• Web 2.0 - Social Networking sites, Blogs, Wikis, Video Sharing sites and Web Applications all fall under this category. Web 2.0 uses JavaScript to upload and download new data from the web server without undergoing a full page reload, this allows users to continue to interact with the page by separating communications such as data requests going to the server, and data coming back to the page. Examples of this are the News Feed on Facebook, which will continue to refresh itself even if the user does not refresh the page, or the comments section on YouTube, which will also continue to refresh whilst a user watches a video.

• Cloud Computing - Hardware and software programs are delivered over a network as a service, instead of being stored on the user's computer, they are stored on a network at a separate location, this means less storage space is used up on the user's computer, it also reduces the number of performance-intensive actions the user's computer must execute. The user simply has to log in to the service to gain access to the programs they need to use.

Unit 43 - D2

After making the recommended changes to my project it looks far more professional and now contains everything that it should do. I have added the pulse effect to all of my buttons to make the effect consistent throughout the whole product. Increasing the size of the headings and some of the text has ensured that everything will be easy to read. With the addition of the virtual tour video, the product is fully complete and provides a much better user experience, allowing those that use the product to get a good look at the facilities the P.E. department provides, without just briefly reading about them in the information section.

An area of my product that could be developed further would be the virtual tour, it is currently just a video that plays from start to finish, but with more development it could become more interactive, allowing users to select which facility in the P.E. department they wish to look at and the inclusion of pause and rewind buttons etc. This would vastly enhance the user experience, currently, if a user is watching the virtual tour video, and sees something that they may want to have a better look at, they cannot pause the video and focus on it.
