Learning Outcomes and Assessment Standards
Learning Outcome 1: Operational Knowledge of Information and
Communication Technologies
The learner is able to demonstrate operational knowledge of
information and communication technologies and the environments in which they
operate. We know this when a learner is able to
-
briefly describe the basic operation and terminology of relevant
computer hardware and software and the aims and objectives of networked
environments. [1.1]
-
install, configure and use input and output devices. [1.2]
-
describe the concept of file organisation in multi-level
directories. [1.3]
-
identify legal, ethical and security issues related to
information technology. [1.4]
-
describe the concept of file organisation in multi-level
directories. [1.3]
-
identify legal, ethical and security issues related to
information technology. [1.4]
-
describe certain basic issues related to the impact of
information and communication technology on the local environment and society.
[1.5]
Learning Outcome 2: Integrated End-user Computer Applications
Skills and Knowledge in Problem Solving
The learner is able to apply and integrate end-user computer
applications skills and knowledge to solve problems related to the processing,
presentation and communication of information. We know this when a learner is
able to
-
demonstrate a basic level of competence and accuracy in the
input of data. [2.1]
-
enter, edit and format text, numerical data and graphics using
basic techniques in a word processing program. [2.2]
-
enter, edit and format text and numerical data using basic
functions and formulae in a spreadsheet program by applying appropriate
techniques. [2.3]
-
demonstrate the ability to utilise basic integration techniques
using word processing and spreadsheet programmes. [2.4]
-
interpret written layout and editing instructions to
produce accurate output. [2.5]
-
demonstrate understanding of a variety of communication modes
and tools. [2.6]
Learning Outcome 3: Information Management
The learner is able to apply information management processes
and skills using end-user computer applications. We know this when a learner is
able to use technologies to
-
locate and collect specific data using relevant methods. [3.1]
-
extract and record information in appropriate electronic
formats. [3.2]
-
present and communicate information in electronic formats. [3.3]
