SKILLS FOR LIFE RESOURCES
Interactive resources created for Skills for Life via the Innovation Project can be found in this section.
Accessibility
The majority of the learning materials have been produced by Basic Skills tutors at ACE using Microsoft® Office Word and PowerPoint. All the resources have been tested using Internet Explorer v6.0. Download the latest version of Internet Explorer from Microsoft
The quizzes that have been generated using Hot Potatoes™ software do not meet the basic accessibility criteria, that is, they do not work with screen readers. As an alternative, you can recreate these quizzes using a software package or learning platform which meets the needs of your learners in a more accessible way.
Some of the resources require supporting or linked files to enable them to be used. For example, the Qarbon Viewlet exercises require both a Web html and a Shockwave file. Shockwave can be downloaded from Adobe
Where sound clips are provided, transcripts are either repeated on screen or a link will be provided to a text file.
Resource search facility
A search facility to locate resources by topic (home, work and leisure), curriculum area and curriculum level is available below. Leave the Search for: field blank to see all available resources.
