Course Description


Mode of Delivery:
Face-to-face at eLearning Centers/Open Distance and eLearning Centers


I. Rationale


Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have over the years become indispensable management and communication tools. At the global level, the use of ICTs has become so central that the definition of literacy has become expanded beyond basic reading and writing skills to include the ability to use ICTs in almost all activities. This is the third in the collection of ICT course modules, which relates to the ability to use numeric data, database management, and presentation tools in educational communication. Spreadsheets and database management tools make it possible to manage teaching as well as other classroom elements, such as class lists and facilities. At school level the tools would be useful in the management of school resources. Presentation tools are a flexible way of making classroom and seminar illustrations. The main purpose of this course module, therefore, is to equip one with basic computer skills relating numerical data, database management and presentations.
