Encourage independent learning

Complete ICT KS3 is available online 24 hours a day and provided on CD-ROM for use on your school network, enabling access in the classroom and at home. Schools automatically receive both formats.

Built-in tracking and reporting system

Schools and students working online can track progress and report using the special facility provided, through the KS3 National Strategy, Complete ICT KS3 assignments, or a ‘cocktail’ of both. Furthermore, Complete ICT KS3 offers simple logging of student progress through the sample teaching units (STU), with:

• comments from the student and from the teacher
• three grades reflecting content, attitude and effort
• an approachable method for designating National Curriculum Level competences.

This can save time and help individuals take greater ownership of their work, as well as gaining more immediate feedback on their efforts.

In use with over 50 000 students

Real benefits for teacher and student

• Provide opportunities for peer tutoring
• Help students prepare for either vocational or academic courses at KS4 and beyond
• Follow the QCA Scheme of Work, the National Strategy, and allow access to the higher levels of attainment at KS3

A flexible model

Comprehensive teacher’s notes are provided to help plan, implement and then assess a course to suit your institution, teaching staff and students.

Activities set in real contexts

Work is based around sets of practical assignments. These are interesting, involving and linked by common themes. They build on skills developed and are increasingly challenging. It is intended that students can move from task to task at their own pace.

Skills material

While the assignments can be performed using any software, there is a large amount of skills training material included on popular Microsoft® products:

• Windows
• PowerPoint
• Word
• Internet Explorer
• Excel
• Publisher
• Access

Easy lessons

These provide knowledge on key topics plus simple lessons on making an independent start with the necessary software.

Comprehensive help

The help section covers a range of important issues and is designed to assist even very inexperienced users.

Glossary

Clear, easy-to-understand explanations are given for words, abbreviations and technical phrases.

Anytime, anywhere access

Since it is all done via a Web site, staff can be logging information wherever they have Internet access, be it in school or at home. In addition, students can show parents their grades and comments at home, throughout the course.
