Really informative, helped me greatly especially with social media platforms
Useful info
Pink is terrible colour for the visually impaired.
Very basic information.
Great stuff but as a result of lockdown I have had to get to grips with most of this content!
very useful unit
Lots of good ideas to try with learners e.g. ice, periscope etc
Very useful information for teaching and communicating with students
The question about deleting sent emails is vague. It can be possible to retrieve a sent email, but not always successful.
COUPLE OF THE QUESTIONS ASKED WAS'NT IN THE BODY OF THE COURSE BUT INTERESTING
a good module
Some of the information in this module does not apply to all applications and is, therefore, misleading in some of its true statements
Updated knowledge
A useful module to brush up on video calling, and meetings.
fairly useful
Fine but a few grammatical errors in the questions and answers eg. "Sending a mail" doesn't make sense and also "Which of the following type of message should be treated with extreme caution?" could do with some rewording.
I learned how to set the SOS messaging on my phone, so thanks for that!
Once again though, the scenario material really needs proof-reading!
I feel more comfortable teaching these skills now.
useful to remind myself
useful about accessing and blocking contacts
I especially liked the information on video calls.
This covers a range of skills and awareness. The only problem is that it cannot always be instructions specific as there are so many different devices and it may involve teaching to too many in a class to be effective.
Some of the information seems quite irrelevant to every day use.
This ill benefit my learners.
Some of the questions in the quiz didn't seem to have been covered in the modules e.g how many people you can send an email to? Also it would be nice to have a brief explanation of why a question is correct or incorrect. Very useful overall.
