Checklist designed to support delivery of Gateway's EDSQ (Essential Digital Skills Qualification) E3 and L1. This list allows learners, and staff, to rate their confidence with each element of the qualification at each unit (1-5). 

Editor's notes

An essential piece of kit for those embarking on EDS teaching. Love the 4 tier "traffic light" system. Written for Gateway but useful for all awarding bodies.

Useful 1 page handout. Very simple instructions on how to correct a mistake made when typing in Microsoft Word. First used with residents at a clinic who have learning difficulties but ideal for any beginner.

Useful handout that clearly explains the principles of backing up files. Includes information on hardware, software and how to back up data.

Useful illustrated handout that clearly explains the principles of basic file management: how to create new folders and how to rename them.

Using bookmarks is a handy one page help sheet – instructions for Internet Explorer and Firefox, plus ideas for practice.

A straightforward illustrated guide for beginners that can easily be adapted to suit your own institution. Ideal for many students including E2-E3 Skills for Life ICT.
