Welcome to INF 1030 - Word Processing. Many of you undoubtedly are quite comfortable using a word processor. If that is the case then your task will be to demonstrate those skills. You won't need to go through any of the instructional videos. You can simply begin by supplying a document to work on and following the Marks Checklist that will cover all of the Alberta Education competencies for this course. The document you supply can be one you are currently working on for another class or one you have already produced but it must be your own work.
Videos are provided for Word and Google Docs but you are free to use any word processor of your choice. Your teacher just needs to be able to read the final document so check
with them first if you are going to use anything but a mainstream word
processor. We will rely heavily on Youtube videos as they are well done, current, flexible, and in small blocks that match the course objectives.
If you are new to word processing then you have some choices. You should follow the Marks Checklist but you can either; find a tutorial and go through it from start to finish, or you can use the video suggestions provided. They may not be a perfect fit, but they should allow you to get the information needed to perform the required task. If you have any problems you can call your teacher at any time.
The Marks Checklist covers the list of outcomes required by Alberta Education. Your task will be to show that you have mastered each of them. The Table of Contents in the course and the numbering for sections and content blocks follow the same pattern as the Marks Checklist and the Alberta Education Program of Studies.
