Module 6: mapping

Use the ECDL syllabus V4.0 document for the detailed explanation of the knowledge requirements for each knowledge area listed below. The mapping information below is taken directly from ECDL Syllabus Version 4.0.

Under each syllabus item please list and create links to the materials within the Open ICDL content or indicate if there is a 'gap'.

Module 6 Presentation requires the candidate to demonstrate competence in using presentation tools on a computer. The candidate shall be able to accomplish tasks such as creating, formatting, modifying and preparing presentations using different slide layouts for display and printed distribution. He or she shall also be able to duplicate and move text, pictures, images and charts within the presentation and between presentations. The candidate shall demonstrate the ability to accomplish common operations with images, charts and drawn objects and to use various ** [slide show effects.

6.1 Using the Application

6.2 Developing a Presentation

6.3 Text and ImagesCarolynne

6.4 Charts/ Graphs,Drawn Objects

  • 6.4.1 Using Charts/Graphs *Abstracts should give a detailed description of what the learner will learn and a practical example of how it could be useful to them
    • Location:
    • 6.4.1.1 Create a column chart
      • Notes:*Instructions aren’t clear. They do not give step-by-step detail on what the learners need to do or how to go about it. It can not be taken for granted that the learner knows how to for example: ‘open files’ , insert slides (This goes for all sections
  • Insert->Chart: Change to bold to put emphasis on the command and for all other commands that follow.
  • There is no instructions on how to carry out these commands
  • There is no mention to the learner of what should happen once they carry out a step/instruction. It is good to say what they will see once they carry out a specific instruction, so that the learner will know that he/she is on the right track. This goes for all sections
  • Perhaps better screen shots in certain sections? This goes for all sections
    • 6.4.1.2 Modify chart data
      • Notes:
    • 6.4.1.3 Modify column
      • Notes:*The content is good as it explains what happens once the learner carries out the instruction. This methodology is good as it ensures the learner that he/she is on the right track, and should be constant throughout the sections
    • 6.4.1.4 Create a pie chart
      • Notes:*Some steps are put all into one step/sentence. These steps should be broken up to give a step-by-step impression. It will look clearer to users.
  • Perhaps give mention of the advantages/ usefulness of the various types of charts. Or how certain charts would be better suited to display your data in a clear way
    • 6.4.1.5 Add labels to a pie chart
      • Notes:*The learner cannot follow steps by just looking at an image; supplement the image with step-by-step instructions on how to add labels.
  • Give reasons as to why the learner needs to carry out a specific instruction. For instance do not just say “Click on the Legend and press Del.
  • 6.4.2 Organisation Charts
    • Location: Abstracts should be more detailed, highlighting what the learner will learn and how it could be useful to the learner.
  • File->New->Drawing: Change to bold to put emphasis on the command and for all other commands that follow. Also,
  • There is no instructions on how to carry out these commands
  • Some steps are put all into one step/sentence. These steps should be broken up to give a step-by-step impression. It will look clearer to users.
    • 6.4.2.1 View the slide show
      • Notes:*Content is fine, however conventional steps should be shown to the learner as to how to view the slide show rather than shortcuts.
    • 6.4.2.2 Create a chart in Impress
      • Notes:*Content is fine, however It is good to say what they will see once they carry out a specific instruction, so that the learner will know that he/she is on the right track. This goes for all sections

6.5 Slide Show Effects

  • Notes:
    • The _abstract_ should give more *details* on the rationale of the exercise. Telling people what to do, without telling them why they are doing it might not be a good learning process.
    • The chapter lacks a section for adding animation to images, or other objects in the slide (which makes some of the presentations really good). It also lacks on how to define the order of the animations.
  • 6.5.1 Preset Animation
    • Location:
    • 6.5.1.1 Remove the animation
      • Notes:
        • The instructions here are not very clear (state the procedure is same as above). It needs 95% rewrite to give point-to-point instructions on what the learners need to do.
    • 6.5.1.2 Change the animation
      • Notes:
        • The content is good, but can be improved maybe by having two sections, one for text and the other for objects. It can also be merged with the section on creating animation.
  • 6.5.2 Transitions

6.6 Prepare Outputs
