DDR SDRAM
Source: Wikipedia
Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory, officially abbreviated as DDR SDRAM, is a double data rate (DDR) synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) class of memory integrated circuits used in computers. DDR SDRAM, also retroactively called DDR1 SDRAM, has been superseded by DDR2 SDRAM, DDR3 SDRAM, and DDR4 SDRAM, and soon will be superseded by DDR5 SDRAM. None of its successors are forward or backward compatible with DDR1 SDRAM, meaning DDR2, DDR3, DDR4 and DDR5 memory modules will not work in DDR1-equipped motherboards, and vice versa.

A Novel Approach for Examination of Visually Challenged Candidates by E-Evalu...IOSR Journals
ABSTRACT : The evaluation of physically challenged is always a challenging task as any evaluation of them
is compared with that of normal candidates. The case of visually challenged is still more difficult as vision is a
nunerouno sensor in the field of study and knowledge enhancement and evaluation of them on par with other
candidate is very difficult. The aim of this paper is to present an approach for E-evaluation model for the
visually challenged students/candidates for the screening tests conducted by the different examination
authorities. The major attempt is made to use the personal computer and avoid the use of a scriber by the
candidate so that candidate can take the exam independently. A portion of the PC keyboard is slightly modified
in its software functionality to help them in undergoing the test. Also described is the functioning of this model
of E-Evaluation and its relative advantages.
Keywords: E-evaluation, PC keyboard, visually challenged candidate

3. ECDL / ICDL Sample Part-Tests
1.1
ECDL / ICDL: What is it?
ECDL (ICDL outside Europe), is the international standard in end-user
computer skills. The ECDL / ICDL Syllabus consists of 7 modules which
define the skills and competencies necessary to be a proficient user of a
computer and common computer applications.
In order to achieve ECDL / ICDL Certification, candidates must pass a test for
each of the 7 modules. ECDL / ICDL Module 1 is a theoretical test of
computing knowledge at a general level, while modules 2-7 are predominantly
practical skills tests.
Individuals who have achieved ECDL / ICDL certification can successfully
demonstrate their competence in the use of a computer and common
computer applications and can thus be considered „digitally literate‟.
1.2
Who is it for?
The ECDL / ICDL certification programme is for anyone who needs to develop
their skills and/or demonstrate that they are fully competent in the use of a
computer and common computer applications. Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) is becoming increasingly widespread in
society. People must now use ICT on a daily basis in order to engage in
society and the environment around them. A competent level of computer
skills (or digital literacy) is now a life requirement for personal, educational and
professional engagement with society.
Those enrolling on the ECDL / ICDL programme come from many different
sectors in society, including second-level and third-level students, teachers,
employees, retired people, and the elderly. Their reasons for enrolling in the
programme may vary, and the skills learned will be employed in a wide variety
of ways related to their personal or professional situation.
As an internationally-recognised certification and standard, ECDL / ICDL can
improve job prospects and equip people to advance further in their existing
careers. It also can provide a platform from which to move on to more
specialised ICT training and education.
For those who prefer to acquire more basic or advanced skills, we also offer a
range of other programmes. For example, if you know someone who has
never used a computer before, they may be interested in our EqualSkills or eCitizen programmes.

1.3
How does it work?
People typically begin the ECDL / ICDL certification process through
enrolling in a training course. They may do this in a personal capacity or as
part of their training requirement as, for example, an employee of an
organisation. Often the training course may take place within an approved
Test Centre; however in many cases training and testing for ECDL / ICDL
may take place in different locations.
In order to register for ECDL / ICDL testing, each candidate must obtain an
ECDL / ICDL Skills Card. The Skills Card is the document which records the
candidate's registration, and which is updated by the approved Test Centre
as candidates pass the exam in each ECDL / ICDL Module. Once all the
exams have been successfully completed and the Skills Card is complete,
the approved Test Centre returns the Skills Card to the national operator of
ECDL / ICDL who will then issue the certificate to the candidate. Depending
on the market, Skills Cards can be either paper based or online. Where
automated testing is used, Skills Cards are generally updated automatically
and so the candidate may not receive a physical Skills Card. ECDL / ICDL
tests can only be taken at an approved Test Centre.
The ECDL / ICDL national operator is responsible for approving Test
Centres and auditing them on a regular basis to ensure they meet ECDL
Foundation‟s quality assurance standards.
1.3.1 How much training is required?
People usually take training on each module prior to taking the test,
although training is not compulsory. Some candidates may feel competent
enough in one area to forego training and move directly to testing, whereas
others may require full training before testing. The amount of training
needed will depend on the candidate‟s existing skills levels prior to
commencing training and the type of training - for example, instructor-led or
e-learning. Typically the average training time for those without prior
experience is approximately 30 hours per module.
Training materials such as text books and e-learning that have been
approved by ECDL Foundation and/or the national operator are generally
available in each market where ECDL / ICDL is offered, enabling individuals
to also engage in self-paced learning.
Please see a list of ECDL Foundation approved materials at the Training
Materials section of the Programmes, ECDL / ICDL page of www.ecdl.org
1.3.2 How long are the tests?
Each module is tested separately with each test lasting no longer than 45
minutes. The seven tests can be attempted in any order.

1.3.3 Vendor neutrality
ECDL / ICDL is unique in that it has been designed to be vendor neutral.
This means that the skills requirements in ECDL / ICDL Syllabus are not
linked with any specific software. Candidates therefore have the flexibility
and freedom to acquire ICT skills and confidently apply them in a range of
software environments.
