Future proofing resources will be useful for many as we continue to move forward with more digital content and the every changing world, that seems to be gaining speed all the time!
It was okay
Some useful resources to investigate
Probably a topic that is increasing in importance as new formats come online. PDF is fine as far as it goes but without the full version editing might not be possible at a later date unless the original, non-standard document is retained
good module
More specific detail would be better
The unit was challenging when moving the answers around this needs to be clearer. Thankyou
Common sense again
Very useful module. I learnt the meaning of future proofing and I downloaded scannable application as a result (just one example).
Comprehensive.
Good introduction with sign posting to further information and modules.
Decent examples. Adapt and thrive (and survive) really.
Good to think about making sure good resources are shared and stored correctly and easily accessible for others.
