MWVS Community Development Program. IT Course

As part of the Woodridge outreach and Community service program, the aim was to introduce a computer 
literacy course which could run parallel to the ABET course. While these two courses are not directly linked to
one another, they are in fact complementing each other. 
For this purpose we have registered to use the e-Learner course which was offered initially to members of the
Woodridge ground/general staff but also rolled out to the surrounding community and later might include
some of the underprivileged schools. 
Three members from the outside community sponsored by the MWVS Community Development Program were supposed to be
involved with the course but at present only two members namely Vuyokazi McClean and Nombulelo Gotyana
are attending. .

The accredited e-Learner course is made up of seven units and is available at three levels culminating in a
Platinum certificate. The course covers 7 units and is aimed at students of all ages who require the grounding
and basics of ICT skills before moving on to mastering the ICDL Core certification. The e-Learner units are
aligned to those which one would encounter in the ICDL Core thereby acting as a perfect introduction and
progressive stepping-stone to the ICDL Core. Units in the e-Learner Platinum course are as follows: 

1. I T Basics 
2. Files & Folders 
3. Drawing 
4. Word Processing 
5. Spreadsheets 
                                                 6. Presentations 
                                                 7. Web Browsing & E mail 
The e-Learner lessons not only teach ICT skills but also integrate life-skill content thereby ensuring that lessons
are interesting and relevant and students remain interested and motivated no matter how old. See more...
