About the Course
You will explore the fundamentals of Microsoft Word for creating and formatting documents such as essays and reports, PowerPoint for designing impactful presentations, and Microsoft Teams for effective communication and collaboration in a digital learning environment. TEAMS is also the platform we use for our qualifications, as do a large number of other learning providers, so understanding its use would be very beneficial. Additionally, the course introduces the basics of vlogging as a creative method for reflective learning and digital storytelling.
We are delivering this course to empower students with the confidence and competence to navigate digital platforms that are increasingly integral to modern education. By the end of the course, you will not only be more proficient in using key software tools but also better prepared to express yourself, collaborate with peers, and manage your academic tasks in a digital-world.
