The Basics

The Basics is about underpinning technology skills that you will need to do your work and your teaching. There are three basic sets of skills:

• Basic Essentials - skills for all staff
• Basic Teachers - skills specifically for teachers (CLAMs, TeacherDiary)
• Basic Online - skills for all staff, including teachers

You will need the Basic Essentials skills to understand and manage things like files, emails, text, websites and images. If you need assistance or want to learn more, contact the Professional Development Unit.
