General Information and Guidance

1. Introduction
Abstract
Welcome to Open BTEC and the Updating for Business series. As a tutor, we regard you as a partner. We have developed the materials for this open learning course, but the success of the course will be very much in your hands.

2. Preparing to Run the Course
Abstract
There are a number of arrangements which must be made before the course begins. This section provides you with a checklist of things to do. They are not listed in any order of priority and you will probably be involved in a number of these arrangements concurrently.

3. The Open Learning Student
Abstract
Open learning systems often seek to meet the needs of students who would otherwise be excluded from education. They also aim to provide opportunities for a wide range of people: from the mature person with a family, to the young person who dropped out of education prematurely.

4. Open Learning Tutorials
Abstract
You are expected to provide appropriate tutorial contact for students. The functions of open learning tutorials are very much the same as for any tutorial and include:
  • the provision of technical help with study difficulties;
  • guidance on how to study;
  • an indication of progress;
  • social contact, and confirmation of acceptance and belonging;
  • maintenance of morale.
When tutors are not themselves providing lectures or seminar input, they can fall into the trap of repeating information already covered in the learning materials. This should, of course, be avoided. Tutorials provide an opportunity for students to express themselves and to deal with personal issues.

5. Tutor Review Exercises
Abstract
The Updating for Business open learning materials invite students to carry out many activities and self check exercises. Included in most elements is a TRE, or Tutor Review Exercise. You are expected to mark these and to return them with helpful comments to the student.

6. Feedback on the Materials and their Use
Abstract
These open learning materials will be regularly reviewed and revised to take account of new developments and to maintain and further improve their effectiveness. Open BTEC welcomes comments from tutors on the materials and will give serious consideration to your suggestions for possible improvements.

Part 2. Information Relating to this Unit
Abstract
The Management of Word Processing Unit is designed for anyone who is, or is intending to be, working in a managerial or supervisory capacity over the word processing functions of an organisation. This will range from the manager of a word processing function in a large organisation, to the manager whose overall responsibilities include the supervision of word processing staff. It concentrates on the day-to-day aspects of such a management task, and deals with both the technological and human aspects of the word processing function.
