Computer "driving licence" for teachers

Computer "driving licence" for teachers

The British Computer Society is launching a European Computer Driving Licence(ECDL) for teachers and educational-support staff.

ECDL for Educators is a tailored learning programme that will enable teaching staff to gain the ECDL qualification through tasks specific to teaching.

The ECDL for Educators courseware can be delivered as a face-to-face or self-study package, or a combination of both. It can therefore be adapted to fit into the teacher's working timetable.

The programme consists of modules on the basic concepts of information technology, using a computer and managing files, word processing, spreadsheets,databases, presentations and using the Internet.
