Skills required

The Learning for Living programme has been designed to make learning easy and enjoyable. You only need to have very basic computer skills, for example be able to key in small amounts of text and to move and click on things with a mouse. The Show me pages will give you a feel for what skills you'll need. It features:

  • Small amounts of text on screen at any time, to make reading easy and to limit the need for scrolling.

  • Click-on options to reveal further information and to check answers to questions.

  • Standard icons for different elements in the programme.

  • Easy saving of any work to an online folder.

  • Easy access to your tutor via an e-mail link.

  • 'Hyperlinks' to related information within any topic, so that you do not need to search.

  • Easy access to websites for resources and ideas for further learning and exploration.
