4 | Introduction IC³ GS5: Living Online Project Workbook

Using this WorkbookThe exercises in this manual serve as a companion to LearnKey’s training and are organized by session to match the presented concepts. Within each session, exercises are arranged from easiest to most challenging. In the Introduction section of each session, you will find outlines of the training and sample lesson plans which will give you an overview of the training content and help you to structure your lessons. The following sections are included for each session of training:

Skills Assessment: The skills assessment will help you and your students to gauge their understanding of course topics prior to beginning any coursework. Each skill listed is tied directly to an exam objective. Understanding where your students feel less confident will aid you in planning and getting the most from the training.

Objective Mapping and Shoot File Links: The objective mapping provides a quick reference as to where in the training a specific certification exam objective is covered. The Files column lists the name of the Course Support files (Excel spreadsheets, Photoshop files, etc.) that are used and demonstrated during the training. The files will typically have a starting file containing all data necessary to begin the demonstrated skill, as well as a completed file which shows the final result.

Keyboard Shortcuts and Tips: The keyboard shortcuts and tips provide a reference of product-specific keyboard shortcuts and helpful hints to make working more efficient.

Short Answer and Matching: The short answer questions facilitate a recall of the basic training concepts to further aid in retention of the course topics and information in preparation for the training’s Pre-Assessments, Post Tests, and MasterExam. The matching exercise provides additional learning reinforcement of terms and concepts found throughout the training in the course’s glossary.

Projects: The projects in this manual are organized by session to match the concepts presented in the LearnKey training. Each project is assigned a difficulty level of either beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Some projects will be noted as

“beginner-intermediate” or other range. Within each session, projects are arranged from easiest to most challenging. Each project includes a description of the task as well as steps required for successful completion. Note that the steps may not indicate each required action but will provide the expectation of what is required, leaving the action to the student. References to the concepts demonstrated in the LearnKey training that are required for successful completion of the project are also included. Each project will also indicate the files and software used to complete the tasks. Some projects may only include a file named “ProjectTitle�End.” Projects only including an end file typically begin with a new file which is indicated in the first step. The “ProjectTitle�End” file is included to illustrate a possible correct result. Other projects may include a file named “ProjectTitle�Start” or other files. Projects with a “ProjectTitle�Start” file begin with that file instead of a new file.

“Start” files typically contain data required for the project pre-inserted to focus the project on concepts versus data entry.

Each expert has been certified in the highest level available for their field of expertise. This provides the student with the knowledge necessary to also obtain top-level certifications in the field of their choice.

Our accomplished instructors have a rich understanding of the content they present. Effective teaching encompasses not only presenting the basic principles of a subject, but understanding and appreciating organization, real-world application, and links to other related disciplines. Each instructor represents the collective wisdom of their field and within our industry.

Our Instructional TechnologyEach course is independently created, based on standard objectives provided by the manufacturer for which the course was developed.

We ensure that the subject matter is up-to-date and relevant. We examine the needs of each student and create training that is both interesting and effective. LearnKey training provides auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learning materials to fit diverse learning styles. The following are three levels of implementation:

Standard Training ModelThe standard training model allows students to proceed through basic training, building upon primary knowledge and concepts to more advanced application and implementation. In this method, students will use the following toolset:

Pre-assessment: The pre-assessment is used to determine the student’s prior knowledge of the subject matter. Itwill also identify a student’s strengths and weaknesses, allowing the student to focus on the specific subject matterhe/she needs to improve most. Students should not necessarily expect a passing score on the pre-assessment as it isa test of prior knowledge.

Video training session: Each course of training is divided into sessions that are approximately two hours inlength. Each session is divided into topics and subtopics.

Post test: The post test is used to determine the student’s knowledge gained from interacting with the training. Intaking the post test, students should not consult the training or any other materials. A passing score is 80 percentor higher. If the individual does not pass the post test the first time it is taken, LearnKey would recommend theincorporation of external resources, such as the workbook and additional customized instructional material.


Intermediate Training ModelThe intermediate training model offers students additional training materials and activities which allows for betterretention, review, and interaction. This model includes not only the standard model material, but also includes thefollowing toolset:

Study guides: Study guides are a list of questions missed which can help students recognize areas of weaknessand necessary focus. They can be accessed from either the pre-assessment or post test.

Labs: Labs are interactive activities that simulate situations presented in the training. Step-by-step instructionsand live demonstrations are provided.

Workbooks: Workbooks have a variety of activities, such as glossary puzzles, short answer questions, practiceexams, research topics, and group and individual projects, which allow the student to study and apply conceptspresented in the training.

Master Training ModelThe master training model offers the student an additional opportunity to prepare for certification by further examining his/her knowledge. This model includes the materials used in the standard and intermediate models, as well as the MasterExam.

MasterExam: The MasterExam draws from a large pool of questions to provide a unique testing experience eachtime it is taken. LearnKey recommends a student take and pass the exam, with a score of 80 percent or higher,four times in order to prepare for certification testing. Study guides can also be accessed for the MasterExam.

Objectives:1.0 Computing Fundamentals

1.3 Computer Software Architecture1.3.c Have a general understanding of operating systems and software settings

1.3.c.i Know basic desktop customization


Email ActionsDescription: There are many different things that can help you save time when writing an email and actions you can take to manage your incoming mail. Setting up a signature for an email can save a lot of time. Understanding the difference between Cc and Bcc can save you some embarrassment, and will most definitely save you some time. You can manage your incoming mail by setting unwanted email as junk or as spam and then when that sender continues to send email to you it goes into a special folder as junk or spam. You sometimes have to be careful because some important mail can go to this folder.

For this project, you will need to use your email account and set up a signature for your email. In your signature include your name, phone number, and email address. Create an email, and in your email define the difference between Cc and Bcc emails. Then send your email to two or three different people but make sure that each person cannot tell that it has been sent to more than just them. Finally, you will need to set up your email to set specific emails as spam.

Steps for Completion:1. Set up a signature on your email.2. Write an email about Cc and Bcc emails and when to use them.3. Send the email to three people but make it so they only see themselves as the recipients.4. Set up your email account to recognize specific email as spam.

Set Up, Share, and Manage CalendarsDescription: Online calendars are most often attached to an email account. Calendars can be used to keep track of one-time or recurring events. Another great feature of online calendars is the ability that they give to share the calendars with others.

For this project, you will create two calendars. In one calendar create a one-time event with a notification. Then in the other calendar create a recurring calendar event. Get together with three or four other people and have them all share calendars. Be able to view multiple calendars at the same time. Manage the calendar by changing the colors of each of the different calendars.

(Hint: Google Calendars is free and is a great resource to use if you are having difficulties.)

Steps for Completion:1. Create two calendars.2. Setup a one-time calendar event with a notification.3. Setup a recurring calendar event.4. Share the calendar with three or four other people.5. View all the calendars at the same time.6. Manage the calendars by changing the colors.

For this master project you will need to first understand how to research information and evaluate it. Then you will need to understand how to utilize technological communication forms. Finally, be able to explain how to best work and function online.

The Internet provides different options which are used to search for information. Google is one of the most popular search engines in use at the moment, but there are also Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Wikipedia. There are good ways to search information and there are better ways. If you put in a string of words into the Google search box you will get hundreds of thousands of results, sometimes even millions. Well, you do not want to sift through all of that, and contrary to popular belief the best results are not always on the first page. There are advanced search options that you must be familiar with to complete this project. You will choose a research topic and search for information using Google search features. Then you will choose three results and evaluate the results using authority, accuracy, and currency. Finally, write a one-page paper about your topic and then cite the information.

Then you will set up a blog where you will define cyberbullying and what we can do to minimize cyberbullying. On another page in your blog, talk about the different methods which can be used to communicate via technology: email, SMS, instant message, VoIP, phone calls, and conference calls. Explain the etiquette that should be used with each of these different communication methods. Using a Skype account give a presentation based on the research that you did first and use screen sharing to show the other people on your conference call.

Finally, you will set up accounts for video and audio streaming and use them to view a TV show or video and then listen to music or something like a TedTalk. And then set up your work station to match ergonomic best practices.
