Course activities also provide opportunities for learners to develop generic and transferable skills in computer literacy including searching and retrieving information to inform thinking and decision making, and problem-solving. 
Learners will also have opportunities to develop skills in working independently and in collaborating and working with others. Study programmes can be developed which provide a pathway for each learner to focus on their particular strengths and interests, and to work with others and/or on individual activity as appropriate, and which allows integration of Units in respect of learning, teaching and assessment. The Course content Includes;

Multimedia Applications (National 2)
