The ECDL for Educators Courseware V4 enables teachers and teaching assistants to train for the ECDL qualification in context with their role, developing core ICT skills that allow them to improve efficiency and reduce their workload in line with the UK’s Workforce Remodelling initiative. Debbie Skyrme, Education Programme Developer, Aston Swann, said, “Teachers who have followed the ECDL for Educators courseware now use the Information and Communication module to effectively gather classroom resources, thus saving time on lesson planning. They use the Spreadsheet module to collate and chart data from science experiments; the Database module gives them the skills needed to plan and design a Lending Library with Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils; Mailmerge is used in the Wordprocessing module to manage a parents evening event and the Presentation module to display an animated screen show.
