Interim Statement of Basic Expectations of Student Computer Skills
At the request of the Vice-Principal (Information), this document has been drafted as an interim statement of the University's expectations of student computing skills. It is expected to lead to discussion by ISAC and the Academic Programs Committee. An issue that has not yet been addressed is whether or not such expectations should apply to students on entry to the University, in the manner of University expectations of English language skills. If not, then the question is how the University can or should address any gaps between the expectations and reality.

    Students are expected to understand and effectively use the operating systems of their designated computer and be competent in such areas as file management, local back-ups and file transfers. University Regulations and Ethics Regarding the use of IT Equipment and Systems.

    Introducing The First Adult-Quality Computer Keyboard Specially Designed To Fit The Little Fingers Of Children
    According to William Frankel, vice president of marketing and sales for Datadesk Technologies the company that designed and developed LittleFingers®, "It's almost impossible for a small child to learn to touch-type correctly on adult-sized keys they're just too big and their fingers can't reach. Because of this size and spacing problem, most youngsters resort to the ‘hunt and peck' technique which is a difficult habit to break."
    "With basic typing skills now being taught in the second and third grade, having a keyboard that fits is a real advantage for any child wanting to develop good computing skills," Frankel says. LittleFingers® is much more than a keyboard, it's an educational tool that has many advantages over traditional computer keyboards, including:
    • A second standard adult keyboard can be plugged in and used simultaneously
    • Mac and PC compatible even if you change systems, your investment is protected

    Questions
    What are your A-Level entry requirements?
    The normal A-Level requirements for September 2001 entry depend on the degree programme for which you are applying. The MEng programmes require a consistently outstanding performance in relevant subjects. You will need an outstanding GCSE performance including mathematics and science, an approved English language qualification, and AAB in three A-level subjects or ABBB in four A-level subjects. The A-level subjects must include mathematics with a pure element, exclude general studies and have a scientific bias. For the BSc and BEng programmes , the entry requirements are a consistently good performance in relevant subjects. You will need a good GCSE performance including mathematics and science, an approved English language qualification and ABB in three A-level subjects. The A-level subjects must include mathematics with a pure element, exclude general studies and have a scientific bias.

    There are many different software packages for creating graphs and lines of best fit. If you already have one on your computer then use that. Details for two packages are given here. The first, Microsoft Excel, is in common use but is complex and difficult to master. The second package you will probably not have heard of before. It is a dedicated graph drawing and line of best fit program that is available as Shareware. It is very easy to use and is a no frills package, the main advantage being that you can easily download it from the internet. There are many similar programs to this if you search the Shareware web sites. At the end of the day, so long as the program can produce a good graph, it doesn't matter which one you use. What I suggest you do is look at the example graphs and make sure that you can produce yours to the same standard.

    Computers - The Absolute Basics. (Basic Introduction)
    Whilst young people are increasingly aware of the capability and operation of computers, their parents and grandparents may have had little experience. This training is for anyone who has not used a computer before and wants to get a grasp of what they are, what they can do, and how you make them do it. At the end, we expect to have people competent to operate a computer via the keyboard and the mouse, to open and close programmes, and most importantly, to lose their fear of the technology. Understanding Windows 95/98 (Basic to Intermediate)
    Moving deeper into the subject, but still at a fairly basic level, this training is suitable for those who have mastered the keyboard and mouse, and want to be able to understand a bit more about how the computer works and how to optimise its performance for their needs.

    60. Keyboarding - Introduction
    on the keyboard. Frustration occurs for the student who wishes to enter his/her storyinto the computer but does not have the touch keyboarding skills required
    http://www.sasked.gov.sk.ca/docs/elemkey/compint.html
    Introduction
    Purpose
    Traditionally, touch typing was taught at the high school level to students who had never before used a keyboard. Now, with the arrival of computers both at home and in our elementary schools, we find that very young students are being exposed to the computer keyboard. One study focusing on computer use in the school system estimated that students would spend more than 400 hours on microcomputers before they reached the ninth grade (Kidney, 1985). As the keyboard continues to be the primary device for inputting data into computers, the purpose in presenting these guidelines is three-fold:
    • to familiarize young students with keyboard layout, including alphabetic, numeric, special purpose, and function keys;
    • to give Elementary Level students the opportunity to learn and develop a personal-use touch keyboarding skill which can be used with confidence and enjoyment; and,
    • to integrate touch keyboarding into other subject areas in which keyboards/computers are used as a tool.
    Business educators have long recognized that instruction in touch keyboarding should be provided before students become involved in computer applications requiring extensive keyboarding. For example, when computers are used for language arts activities involving the writing process, it becomes necessary for the students to key more than a simple one letter response such as a "Y" for yes or an "N" for no. The student who keyboards by touch can enter data using all ten fingers while concentrating on the text, enjoying the task, and achieving success at the same time. The alternative to touch keyboarding is the use of the "hunt and peck" method in which students develop their own random and incorrect finger patterns. Creative ideas are lost as the "hunt and peck" typist is constantly searching for the correct letter either in the source document or on the keyboard. Frustration occurs for the student who wishes to enter his/her story into the computer but does not have the touch keyboarding skills required to accomplish the task with proficiency.
