INSET animated tutorials

A fantastic training resource for your staff. Put our animated videos on to your network and all of your laptops. When staff have some spare time, they select a video from a training menu and away they go! They watch how to do something and hear us explain what is happening. No more trying to find time for ICT training for all of the staff. No more large costs. Real help for all of your staff to raise their level of skill.

What do we cover in this first release?

Teachers must start securing data!!! There is a special emphasis on showing staff how to keep data secure.

Have you ever wondered how a group of people can work effectively on one document?  There is a complete set of tools in Word that allows collaborative working!!

We show you step-by-step how to use these powerful Reviewing tools in a complete set of videos. How can students send you a file, that you can annotate and review and mark actually on the computer (without printing it off), and send back to them, in such a way that they can see their original document as well as your comments? We show you how to do exactly this using the reviewing tools.

Do your staff need to keep records in Excel? For example, do they need to know how to convert numbers into grades or how to count the number of pupils who got a certain grade? We go through these types of things in detail in our videos as teachers see and then work through an example.
