I found it hard to locate the documents to work on. I would have liked a longer video on inserting tables and images.
I feel more confident in my skills
I did not find the module very helpful. It was very low level and will not aid me in my teaching.
Great lesson
Lots of confusing information and the quiz questions didn't seem to relate to the video/clips
A few useful notes taken from this.
Good ideas to introduce word processing packages
not really enough information in here as to how to help visually impaired learners access word processing
quick brush up of basics; thank you
much more interactivity and discovery made
Useful - several issues made me look into them more closely as I have acquired my own way of achieving things such as Style settings in MS Word. I found some of the video presentations jumped in places e.g. video appeared to indicate that a block of text could just be dropped into a table and it would sort itself appropriately - this made me question whether there was something I'd been missing out on previously but was a worthwhile learning point as it was a reminder for me that jumping steps could be confusing to learners and especially if it were a mixed ability group where you may feel everyone knows something but in reality some may not.
Very good.
would have liked chance to practice voice to speech as part of module =rather than extra work afterwards
A good module, I struggled to recall some of the technical terms.
Thank you for an interesting module.
Straightforeward
This gives clear information to ensure learners can understand and apply the basic rules of formatting.
Some ambiguous questions on the quiz for this one.
Useful for anyone with limited knowledge
I have been editing and formatting documents without any problems for the best part of 30 years, yet I kept failing the quiz on some minor points. Sure getting 6 out of 8 is acceptable to pass the module!
Some of these questions are a little confusing in the way they are worded. Text wrap and Text flow, need to be looked at. It should be obvious from the question (without having to cover the module) what the correct answer is. I'm not sure either about lining up amounts to the right, it would depend on the text being formatted as currency, i.e. two noughts at the end, a decimal tab would be more appropriate.
I only had to do the quiz as my knowledge is good on this subject.
