Tech Edge Modules





	Tech Edge materials are organized in 15 modules. Three course were re-developed as "Tech Edge" courses where IT skills are articulated and explicit in the curriculum. The modules used in these courses were selected based on the skills required. The development of the first 9 modules is complete. In the fall of 2003, students taking three academic courses at Alberta worked with this online content. Their reactions are sumarized in the Pilot Implementation and Evaluation Report (see current progress for an update). Tech Edge modules include: Module 1: Information Technology (IT) Concepts Module 2: Windows Basics Module 3: Computing Networks and the World Wide Web Module 4: Electronic Mail Module 5: Word Processing Module 6: Asynchronous Conferencing Module 7: Word Processing: Collaborating with others Module 8: Spreadsheet Module 9: Database Basics Module 10: Database Design Module 11: Presentation Software Module 12: Web Design Module 13: Bibliographic programs Module 14: Graphics programs Module 15: Statistical programs
