BISCC Useful Informal Training Scheme
Bisccuits provides members with a means to find out what they do know - and what they would like to know. There are five levels of skills for each of the major procedures -operating systems, word processing, desktop publishing, databases, spreadsheets, internet & email. Family History, multimedia and other specific areas rely on skills listed in these 6 areas.
The skills are general skills only - ie, not based on any one particular program - apart from the occasional reference to Wordpad. You know which program you use - check that you can perform the listed skills in your program.
If you do not yet own a computer, or have one and don't know how to use it, you are a Cracker Bisccuit and need to enrol in a basic beginners' class!
If you have some experience, you can see whether you are an Arrowroot Bisccuit or a Tim Tam - noting that that you may be say a Chocolate Bisccuit in one area of computing,and a Cream Bisccuit in another! You don't have to be a Tim Tam in every area of expertise - just those that interest you.
If you have considerable experience
in any one or more areas,
than you may be a Baker or even a Chief Baker -
just what the rest of the Bisccuits need!
Master Baker
Is prepared to show members
how to make any biscuit
in any product line
Each Bisccuit level contains action words - the idea is that you check to see if you are able to do whatever follows the action word. There are no tests or exams - you decide what you
can do and what you want to learn to be able to do.
Each sub-group of the Club examines its own group members' needs and then examine ways to meet them.
