The objective is to certify the ability to use Writer to edit documents.
Summary
A. A foundation user can use Writer to produce appropriate straightforward or routine documents. Any aspect that is unfamiliar will require support and advice from others.
Writer tools and techniques will be described as 'basic' because:
- the software tools and functions will be pre-determined or commonly used; and
- the techniques needed for text entry, manipulation and outputting will be straightforward or routine.
B. An intermediate user can use Writer to produce multi-step documents that are at times non-routine or unfamiliar. Any aspect that is unfamiliar may require support and advice from others.
Writer tools and techniques will be described as ‘intermediate’ because:
- the software tools and functions will be at times non-routine or unfamiliar;
- the choice of techniques will need to take account of a number of factors or elements; and
- the user will take some responsibility for the inputting, manipulating and outputting of the information.
C. An advanced user can use Writer to produce complex and non-routine documents. Writer tools and techniques will be described as ‘advanced’ because:
- the software tools and functions will be complex and at times involve having the idea that there may be a tool or function to do something (eg improve efficiency or create an effect), exploring technical support, self-teaching and applying;
- the techniques required will be multi-step and complex, and the process of selecting appropriate techniques may involve research, identification and application; and
- the user will take full responsibility for the inputting, manipulating and outputting of the information.
