f. How the skills learnt in this module can help in the making and choosing of teaching aids for the ELT classroom

Publisher offers you with so many functions such as banner, advertisement, brochure thus it helps you to use as teaching aids.

If you can change anything about this course, state what is and elaborate?

The amount of task is kinda the same as the amount of assignments. i think all the task needs to have marks since the amount of time spent doing the task is about the same as the assignments.We work really hard to produce quality work so at least it is beneficial to us to be given marks on each task. I would love to have some"teaching session" on how to used certain software for example audio editing.personally, I had no experience handling these audio video things it was my first time, as a first timer if there were guidance and some teaching session it woulod be essential, if not it would be a little demotivated. this is part of my own personal experience. Overall, i think this course gives a major impact in me in introducing to me "PRINT SCREEN METHODS" and all teh technological teaching aids.it was a great journey!!

On a scale 1-10 please rate your computing and technological skills for both before and after undergoing the course.

BEFORE : 3

AFTER : 7.5
