EdTech: Creating content - office software
Productivity software (office business applications) such as word processing, presentation software and spreadsheets are amongst the most common applications most of us encounter and use on a daily basis. Continual development of functionality has taken them beyond flat text production, number crunching and bullet point lists.
Aim
How common office software (productivity) packages can be used to create and modify complex content.
Objective
After completing this module, you will be able to:
- Create complex content objects using basic office (productivity) software
- Devise opportunities for learners to create, edit and share their own content

Microsoft office suite seems to be the most used.
Some interesting points raised within the module.
Couldn't agree more "All productivity suites have an extensive range of functionality that can be adapted to pedagogical purposes with imagination and creative thinking."
As expected
Application depends on the systems you are able to access.
A good reminder
A good module that helps in gathering ideas to create resources that make effective use of multimedia. I would imagine this could be taken one step further with the SAMR model - See Appendix B on the #DTPF from page 38: https://www.et-foundation.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/181101-RGB-Spreads-ETF-Digital-Teaching-Professional-Framework-Full-v2.pdf
