Structure of the Learning Unit:

Integrated Activity

This lesson is aimed at integrating ICT into current, relevant class curriculum. Using this approach

enables learners to use the computer not only as a working tool but also as a relevant learning tool to

learn new concepts and skills or consolidate previously learnt work. This activity will take between 20 –

60 minutes (or 1-3 lessons) to complete depending on the ability of the learners and the time available.

e-Learner Assessment

The required assessment for each unit is completed by the ICT teacher by means of evaluating each skill

on the skills matrix. The ICT teacher can indicate on the skills matrix whether the skill is being practised

or developed by inserting a tick in the appropriate column next to the appropriate skills. Should the

teacher wish to formally assess the skills, a symbol of 1, 2, 3 or 4 is inserted into the matrix in the

assess column next to each skill assessed. The corresponding skills should also be marked off on the e-

Learner Administration System and forwarded to Head Office when completed. As a pre-requisite for

accreditation, all the required skills for each e-Learner unit need to be mastered. In this way, the level

of ICT competency as well as the progress of each learner can be monitored. This matrix may be printed

or photocopied for each learner.
