This unit will enable learners to understand the variety and purpose of different document types and how to present information effectively that takes into account the expected audience and how the document will be used. The effective application of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) also requires that learners are able to understand enough about different software applications in order to be able to choose which tools and techniques are most suitable and use them competently.
Many activities are in some way affected or influenced by computers. What we once recognisedas a computer may now be found in an everyday item like a mobile telephone, a car or a washing machine. The different types of computers are studied, as well as the different types of users and the typical tasks they perform. Although interacting with computers using a GUI (Graphical User Interface such as found within the Windows operating system) system is very common, there are some tasks that can best be done using a command line interface, such as MS-DOS, and these two different types of interfaces are compared and suitable tasks identified for each.
The purpose of this unit is to help the learner to see the potential of the web and to develop a skill set which will be highly valued by industry and commerce as well as being a useful personal skill for leisure pursuits. Web design is a skill that is becoming more and more popular as the worldwide web expands and as companies see the advantage of using browser technology for their company intranets.
