Future IT Skills

These days it is becoming much more difficult to attend classes because of time constraints which may involve work or family commitments.

Because of this, it has become the norm to do online courses or tutorials on the World Wide Web. These courses and tutorials are so easy to use any one can do them. They explain everything so clearly that even the smallest detail which an expert may not think is necessary to be included (because he or she already knows it) will be mentioned. As I already have qualifications in Information Technology I do not think I will be attending college to learn any more on IT.

As far as the classes at Birkbeck are concerned, I don’t think they were extremely necessary for me personally to attend. The instructions could have been posted on Blackboard for me to download. They were very straightforward and explained every little detail clearly.

However, if I do want to learn anything else on IT or improve my skills I will consult www.microsoft.com, http://www.itskills.com/ or http://www.homelearningcollege.com/ to help me with improving my skills on pivoting, how to insert diagrams and obects and about macros. Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Power Point are the areas I feel I need more knowledge in. I need to know more of Microsoft Excel because I will pursue studies in Accounting and I need to know Microsoft Power Point because I will be doing presentations at work.
As I do not plan to major in Information Technology I will not consult these websites unless it is extremely necessary.
