Skills for Life

These materials together with the techniques used have been developed and tested as being specifically relevant and effective for Skills for Life teachers. However many of the techniques and ITQ skills required are transferrable to other subject areas just as the resources developed for Science and Teacher Education can be adapted for SfL.

Leeds Thomas Danby College

Leeds Thomas Danby developed a range of Interactive Microsoft Excel documents and related how to guides. The materials are grouped by ITQ Level and include specific examples for ESOL, Literacy and Numeracy. These resources provide effective examples of how Microsoft Excel can be used to create interactive learning materials and for teachers to develop and apply skills in use of spreadsheet software.

 

Liverpool Community College

Liverpool Community College produced a range of examples using Microsoft Word and PowerPoint at different ITQ levels together with tutorials at beginner, intermediate and advanced level. These resources and 'how to' guides cover the use of form fields, hyperlinks and the creation of an index page to link resources together.

 

South Downs College

South Downs College also developed materials and tutorials at different ITQ levels for ESOL, Literacy and Numeracy. These resources focus on the use of Microsoft Word and include the use of macro's to provide learner feedback. Tutorials are included on how to create and use these macros to change the text colour of form fields once the correct answer is entered.
