Hello all,
I'm a US Peace Corps Volunteer currently serving in the Philippines.
My wife (also a PCV) and I are developing a community-based computer
literacy course using the Commonwealth Computer Navigator's
Certificate [http://www.col.org/resources/crsMaterials/CCNC/Pages/default.aspx]
materials. These materials are based on OpenOffice 3.0 and are
intended for self-instruction as opposed to facilitated instruction,
which is what we will be doing. We want to modify, update, and expand
the materials to fit our program, and to benefit other trainers.
I'm writing the LO docs community to get general comments on teaching
methodology. So far we have a few skills-practice workflows that map
onto presentations; the presentations teach about a particular
feature, such as creating a Table of Contents, and then point the
participant to a particular skills-practice workflow, which takes them
through the steps to set headings and insert the TOC. Does that sound
like the best way to go?
Also, if LO already has these kinds of workflows made, please let us
know where to get them so we can draw from/contribute to them. We're
looking for a set of workflows that will allow us to cover all the
essential features of Writer in a logical progression.
And finally, do you all think the community needs facilitated-training
materials like this?
Daghang salamat (many thanks),
~Micah
