Function-oriented Sample Clauses

Function-oriented. Function-oriented method in computer application teaching where the application can be decomposed into a set of interacting modules where each of these modules has a clearly defined function. Thus, the application system is studied from a functional point of view and it tries to build the process of teaching upon the scope of actions within each of the function available in an application. Within this method the trainee is introduced to these functions and is offered to choose which function to study and practice. For example, office applications are about creating, storing, modifying, formatting and then displaying and sometimes printing documents. To create a document, one can use already existing materials or create a new one from scratch. Storing a document means saving it or creating a version of it. Modification of a document assumes its transformation by taking away or adding some parts, changing or moving. Design and layout are about adjusting fonts, paragraphs, tables, elements. There are even language settings to deal with spelling and grammar, printing function to be used to format the layout of the document, slides, spreadsheets before printing. The function-oriented focuses on the great variety of things to do in the application, which doesn’t generally suit basic training but is rather used for more professional application training i.e. when trainees need to use an application often and diversely in their everyday work.
