Project Scope

Emma and i have put our heads together and realised that there is a real need for another word processing book for our students as well as some handouts for students to take home so they have a reference for their learning. We have put together a draft book and sheets for our project.
Terry is coming to Cromwell this week so i hope to catch up with him to see if we are on the right track.

Project Scope

Project Name: More Word Processing

Date: 20/9/07

Department Contact: Jean Tilleyshort

ECD Contact: Leigh, Terry and Bronwyn

Project Leaders: Sheryll and Emma

Project Summary

The aims of this project is to provide students with extra wording processing skills not already covered in our current resources. Students will be able to work through this new resource in there own time in our community learning centres.

Project Background

This project was developed because we found there was a need in our Community Learning Centres for students to learn more word processing skills. We know this because students often asked “how to do” things that were not covered in our current resources.

The work books will be designed for self paced learning so the students work on the work books during class (with our help when needed). Useful handouts will also be offered for students to take home as references.

This project will be designed for our Community Learning Centres as we see there is a real need for it.

Steps to be taken

1. Outline what is needed – requested from the students
2. Emma and Sheryll get together and discuss theses areas that were missing and students requested.
3. Compile the information and transfer this into a draft copy of a possible work book and resource sheets.
4. Create the draft
5. Test the draft copy
6. Improvements made necessary to make this an easy to follow instruction book.
7. Final product produced and distributed to the other Community Learning Centres.


Learner and Graduate Profiles

The resource will be used for students of all ages and backgrounds who wish to learn more skills without necessarily getting a qualification. There will be a range of skill levels. Some people will come with no skills in word processing this book will follow on from our current word processing resource. Students will leave feeling more confident working with word in home and office situations.

Possible Issues and Considerations

• Book will only be available in the Community Learning Centre and unable to be removed, although reference sheets will be available for the student to take away.
• The cost of the book to be produced for all the Community Learning Centres to be considered – although this will be minimal.
• Although not all learning styles are covered with this resources friendly facilitators are always on hand to show the student or explain in more detail.
