Logical but easier if you have a good grasp of the nuances of the English language. Is that fair to people whose first language is not English?
I undertook training on how technology is the pathway to understand undeniably essential skills for a citizen of 21st century Britain. They underpin almost all aspects of work and social life. An adult lacking these skills is excluded from a wide range of possibilities and at a critical disadvantage compared to those who can engage.
Good course - I liked the teaching points throughout the module.
I enjoyed this module, it made me rethink some aspects of the theory I learned as a new teacher 15 years ago!
useful
I found reading about flipped learning interesting in this module.
Very useful module on teaching and learning.
Helpful

Good module, many thanks
good
found this the hardest unit yet due to the vocabulary/ jargon used- not user friendly for me
very useful
I found this module made me think about my skills and learners in how we can learn together through the use of technology. I did find i had to concentrate to read the text.
Educative resource!
Questions are horribly worded and difficult to understand, they mislead you into answering incorrectly, don't like that if you get one wrong, you have to do the whole lot again.
.
Some really interesting concepts - sometimes though constraints from achieving results can affect delivery
Quite useful, esp. the discussion of soft skills as opposed to hard skills
This one was much more relevant to my work that many of the other units.
very good
Some useful information in this unit about the validity of teaching using IT and its uses as a research tool
Enjoyable.
LOVED THIS MODULE I LINK IT TO WORK
handy module
Gave and updated knowledge regarding reflection of learning.
The summary says this module relates to Buying Online 1 - how?
There are also multiple occasions where "it's" is used instead of "its"
Not engaging
More challenging than the other modules
A very thought provoking module with excellent resources.
My rating reflects that I found this very hard going, so no doubt a reflection of m abilities than those of the module.
But I found a lot of the concepts and language very abstract and "airy fairly" so would struggle teaching this - although to be fair I did not carry out the actions.
Informative, but could perhaps be more explanatory in some areas.
