4. Find all teaching material on MOODLE
Well, since you are looking at these slides, you managed to access Moodle already.
All Spring 2020, likely, will be dome via REMOTE TEACHING, like we do now.
Classes will follow this pattern:
1. You’ll find for each class a first presentation/video with My teaching, i.e. Slides with my voice on,
screen with examples on how to use MS Word, instructions on how to practice MS Word exercises es
in class (e.g. 12 mins of my speech, with slides on)
2. Pause for you to do at home on your own the «remote class exercise», i.e. to apply the features I have
explained in my speech and slides. I will tell you case by case how many minutes are allowed.
(Actually, you can take more or less time but the pause will count for only that many minutes in order to have a 75 mins class time)
3. Then a second set of slides/video
4. Then a second exercise
5. ... ... ... (perhaps a third and fourth video with more practice)... ... ...
6. Homework to do at home, to be uploaded on Moodle when done.

5. 2 CLASSES PER WEEK - YOUR TIMING
This method has probably been already explained by JCU, but «repetita juvant»
You take your class on Moodle when it suits you, each student on his own, it’s not a streaming, it’s teaching
material to be individually studied at the time and day of your choice
Classes are ordered, follow the order set by me. Each week you’ll have Lesson1 and then Lesson2 for that week.
At the end of each week you’ll have at least one homework to upload on Moodle, unless otherwise instructed.
A FORUM on Moodle will be open for questions and answers, one forum for all 3 CS 110 sections. You ask, I reply.
On the forum.
One or more skype sessions (o similar platform) can be set up for direct office hours with students, individually or
in group according to your choice.

6. Our program for next weeks
Due to the global health emergency most universities have moved online their courses until the end
of the Spring 2020 term.
All our classes this term, including tests and final exam, will be done via remote teaching. That is:
online, as you are doing right now. This is our first class online. You will find on moodle teaching
material (slides, links, tests, notes) in sequential order. Follow the order the material is published on
Moodle each week.
Again: you can take this classes anytime you want, two classes per week (total 2,5 hrs teaching as in
presence). All teaching material of the week should be studied within that week. Don’t be left behind.
Ask questions to me posting on the Moodle Forum of the week. I will reply to all. If you have private
issues you want to raise privately write me at sgazziano@johncabot.edu

7. Our program for next weeks
Let us start the online class the easy way. You and I do need to accommodate to this new method of
teaching.
We were supposed in this week to confront advanced Excel: Pivot Tables and What-If analysis. Not a
really really simple topic. I decided to postpone to later weeks.
I think it is best to start with Word, beginning with the basics, as it is the model of this course: we
would have (quickly) gone through the basics of Word in presence too.
I believe this is a better choice to let us adapt to remote teaching.
Your feedback is welcome, appreciated, and a demonstration of class participation too, so let me
know what do you think, how do you cope with remote teaching and how do you feel. On Moodle
Forum.
All Spring 2020 will be online from now on.

12. Toggle
switches in
Word
3/19/2020 12
A toggle switch is a switch that has just two positions.
For example, light switches that turn a light on or off are
toggle switches.
On computer keyboards, the Caps Lock key is a toggle
switch because pressing it can have two meanings
depending on what the current setting is. If Caps Lock is
already on, then pressing the Caps Lock key turns it off. If
Caps Lock is off, pressing the Caps Lock key turns it on.
13. MS Office Keyboard shortcut
CTRL-C copies selected text into the clipboard
CTRL-V pastes text in the clipboard
CTRL-Z undo last action
CTRL-F1 SHOW / HIDE RIBBON
SHIFT-F3 toggles caps
Valid for all MS Office applications and also a standard for many many other pieces of software
NO MOUSE : ??? SHIFT PRESSED THEN USE ARROW KEYS TO SELECT TEXT
On MacOS the CTRL key is replaced by the CMD key

Editor's Notes
Hello and welcome to the Spring 2020 CS 110 part 4 on MS Word
This edition of the course will be taught online, on the Moodle platform of JCU.
A useful reference and repository of training on the many features of Word can be found on the MS Office web site. Just click on the icons.
We quickly overview some of the basic features of MS Word. The average college student knows that this is one of the most common application (i.e. a piece of software) used to write and format documents made mostly by text, with pictures. The MS Tutorial video nevertheless serves very well as an introduction to those with no or minimal knowledge of MS Word.
MS Word skills in CS 110 will develop around these 4 main topics. One by one each will be the subject of a set of slides, video and will also the content of your tests and homework.
1 – Switches and shortcuts are a handy set of keys that enable a quick control of the document if not also a better understanding of the text. Some, like CTRL-Z to “undo last typing” are common to all Office apps and are also now a “de facto” standard for many applications besides Office.
2 – Document formatting is a serious central feature of Word, we’ll discover how formatting is not just a matter of elegance but is the main structure around which a Word document is created and managed: very useful and anyhow mandatory in CS110.
3 – “Building blocks” are specific Microsoft tools that uses the structure imposed by formatting to enable advanced niceties like TOC (table of contents), Cover Page, Heading, Footer and a few more things
4 – Sections are breaks in the document that allow for separate and layouts in different parts of the same doc, e.g. one part of the doc oriented vertically, another part horizontally.
First set of shortcuts – fairly common to all Windows applications, not just MS Office-
On MacOS the CTRL key is replaced by the CMD key
