| Learning outcomes |
|
The course of Basics of IT will focus on the topics from information technology which can be of good use to a professional historian or a history teacher. We will introduce a wide scope of programmes which can be used in the subject of history (genealogical software, audio-editing, video-editing, etc.). In the scope of programme tools our attention will be concentrated on free programmes, licences and freeware. Another important field is orientation at school history - the teachers should learn methods of electronic presentation (basic presentation programmes, simple web presentation). Last in our course will be the work with database programmes (the basic tool will be the spreadsheet).
After finishing the course the student can: - create various types of electronic presentation based on respecting the formal, pedagogically-psychological and expert requirements for its creation - use the chosen programme tools for editing audio-material of historical character (statement of contemporaries) - elaborate a genealogy scheme with use of some of the genealogic programmes - create a simple, effective and transparent database from a chosen historical source of statistics. |
