I found the quiz irritating as it did not really apply to what I had been reading!
Good clear information and various activities which was good
interesting and informative
Especially liked this advice
Seeing faults and incompatibilities as a natural and expected occasional recurrence.
Being able to define problems by knowing what should happen and describing the fault as what has actually happened as deviation from the expected.
Knowing that fault-finding is a logical and progressive process to go through, following an order from the obvious/simple/likely to the more complicated/unforeseen problems.
Knowing the types of help available and what is best sought according to the problem experienced.
Knowing that testing and checking technology is working is wise. They know about virus checkers and making sure devices are up to date and regularly checked.
Useful
good recape
Types of user: not everyone can afford to constantly update devices, especially if they have poor WiFi and other financial priorities. So you have some users who wish to progress but resources don’t allow them, it’s not because they don’t want to. So it’s wrong to categorise users in this way.
iPad website: need to explain how to find model number and if it’s still supported.
Too much writing
Really good breakdown of technical issues and jargon also.
Very practical tips
working my way out of lockdown brain fog
Very good content!
a really good quick into to the module and training
The grammar and language used in this module especially the final quiz is horrendous.
Enjoyable module.
Some good resources to look at and use
completed
More practical advice would be welcome, any particular organisations, groups to get technical help from.
Good content !
Good and useful information.
As a teacher teaching English Language, I have found that some of the questions were not always very clearly defined.
There were some things I learnt from this.
Some useful refresher info here but mostly common sense to those who use IT routinely
It gave me a few tips to try for basic technical issues.
A good module to help me understand how to fix issues
Many thanks I have updated my knowledge
Again a useful module to help understanding of recognizing and fixing issues.
It was interesting and I did remind myself of some information that I had forgotten.
I did find it a bit confusing trying to work my way through some of it, as it was not that straight forward to navigate, despite the demos at the beginning.
Also, at the end its not clear what you should be doing. I did complete these units over a couple of days, which did not help, when going back into it.
Also, there were several typing errors and spelling mistakes, which also made some of the text confusing in places.
Once again - helpful stuff. Could you check your spelling in the' Breaking down a problem' section - should it read affected not effected?
Most of that was English skills not IT at all. You could be terrible at IT but still pass the quiz.
AA lot of interesting information, including some bits that I would not have though of delivering to learners
Good module
Meh
ok
Ok, lots of common sense
A lot more to this topic than I thought. Learnt a lot from this.
Some useful terminology and resources
really useful found out tips, problem solving and resources. feeling more confident about dealing with technical difficulties now
I enjoyed learning more about problem solving, especially new places to look for help.
knew most of this but it is always useful to revisit
Helped build understanding
good module - I'm getting used to fact that lots of suggested tasks and resources come after the quiz and that this is to be used in future when relevant to teaching etc
I learned a lot of new terms from this unit.
Enjoyed the content
Good, clear and understandable with an excellent range of links to further resources.
Hard work. The banners across the top of the screen obscured almost half of the screen leaving me watching the videos and trying to read the text through a slot like a letter box. Spotted a number of grammar errors (My favourite being 'A viruses is a piece of software...'. Useful content but could be expressed much more simply and concisely using shorter sentences with less jargon.
Useful
I found it heavy going
Some questions slightly confusing!
