Key Programmes

1. ICT Baseline Skills & New Media Literacy

The baseline ICT standard and New Media Literacy is a set of ICT skills set out in progressive stages. These represent the basic level of knowledge, skills and values that students need in order to benefit from a curriculum enriched with ICT.

2. Home-Based Learning

Home-Based Learning (HBL) takes place at the homes of students. Unlike classroom learning, there is no (or little) face-to-face interaction between students and teachers for HBL

In a HBL environment, learning content is delivered digitally via internet. Interaction and communication between students and teachers will be facilitated through the use of the internet or telecommunication.

The following are key aspects of learning that should be retained as far as possible in HBL:

• delivery of content for learning;

• interaction for learning between students and teachers as well as among students;

• formative evaluation of learning to check understanding; and

• remediation to meet students’ needs

3. Cyber Wellness

Cyberwellness refers to the positive well-being of all internet users. The programme focuses on developing our students’ awareness to be respectful and responsible digital users in cyberspace.

Topics in the Cyber Wellness programmes include:

• Netiquette

• Cyber Bullying

• Cyber Contacts

• Online Relationships

• Balanced use of ICT

• About the Cyber World

• Online Identity and Expression
