The exercises in this manual serve as a companion to LearnKey s training and are organized by session to match the presented concepts. Within each session, exercises are arranged from easiest to most challenging. In the Introduction section of each session, you will find outlines of the training and sample lesson plans which will give you an overview of the training content and help you to structure your lessons. The following sections are included for each session of training: Skills Assessment: The skills assessment will help you and your students to gauge their understanding of course topics prior to beginning any coursework. Each skill listed is tied directly to an exam objective. Understanding where your students feel less confident will aid you in planning and getting the most from the training. Objective Mapping and Shoot File Links: The objective mapping provides a quick reference as to where in the training a specific certification exam objective is covered. The Files column lists the name of the Course Support files (Excel spreadsheets, Photoshop files, etc.) that are used and demonstrated during the training. The files will typically have a starting file containing all data necessary to begin the demonstrated skill, as well as a completed file which shows the final result. Keyboard Shortcuts and Tips: The keyboard shortcuts and tips provide a reference of product-specific keyboard shortcuts and helpful hints to make working more efficient. Short Answer and Matching: The short answer questions facilitate a recall of the basic training concepts to further aid in retention of the course topics and information in preparation for the training s Pre-Assessments, Post Tests, and MasterExam. The matching exercise provides additional learning reinforcement of terms and concepts found throughout the training in the course s glossary. Projects: The projects in this manual are organized by session to match the concepts presented in the LearnKey training. Each project is assigned a difficulty level of either beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Some projects will be noted as beginnerintermediate or other range. Within each session, projects are arranged from easiest to most challenging. Each project includes a description of the task as well as steps required for successful completion. Note that the steps may not indicate each required action but will provide the expectation of what is required, leaving the action to the student. References to the concepts demonstrated in the LearnKey training that are required for successful completion of the project are also included. Each project will also indicate the files and software used to complete the tasks. Some projects may only include a file named ProjectTitle_End. Projects only including an end file typically begin with a new file which is indicated in the first step. The ProjectTitle_End file is included to illustrate a possible correct result. Other projects may include a file named ProjectTitle_ Start or other files. Projects with a ProjectTitle_Start file begin with that file instead of a new file. Start files typically contain data required for the project pre-inserted to focus the project on concepts versus data entry. 5 Introduction IC³ GS5: Key Applications Project Workbook

Each expert has been certified in the highest level available for their field of expertise. This provides the student with the knowledge necessary to also obtain top-level certifications in the field of their choice. Our accomplished instructors have a rich understanding of the content they present. Effective teaching encompasses not only presenting the basic principles of a subject, but understanding and appreciating organization, real-world application, and links to other related disciplines. Each instructor represents the collective wisdom of their field and within our industry. Our Instructional Technology Each course is independently created, based on standard objectives provided by the manufacturer for which the course was developed. We ensure that the subject matter is up-to-date and relevant. We examine the needs of each student and create training that is both interesting and effective. LearnKey training provides auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learning materials to fit diverse learning styles. The following are three levels of implementation: Standard Training Model The standard training model allows students to proceed through basic training, building upon primary knowledge and concepts to more advanced application and implementation. In this method, students will use the following toolset: Pre-assessment: The pre-assessment is used to determine the student s prior knowledge of the subject matter. It will also identify a student s strengths and weaknesses, allowing the student to focus on the specific subject matter he/she needs to improve most. Students should not necessarily expect a passing score on the pre-assessment as it is a test of prior knowledge. Video training session: Each course of training is divided into sessions that are approximately two hours in length. Each session is divided into topics and subtopics. Post test: The post test is used to determine the student s knowledge gained from interacting with the training. In taking the post test, students should not consult the training or any other materials. A passing score is 80 percent or higher. If the individual does not pass the post test the first time it is taken, LearnKey would recommend the incorporation of external resources, such as the workbook and additional customized instructional material. 6 Introduction IC³ GS5: Key Applications Project Workbook

7 Intermediate Training Model The intermediate training model offers students additional training materials and activities which allows for better retention, review, and interaction. This model includes not only the standard model material, but also includes the following toolset: Study guides: Study guides are a list of questions missed which can help students recognize areas of weakness and necessary focus. They can be accessed from either the pre-assessment or post test. Labs: Labs are interactive activities that simulate situations presented in the training. Step-by-step instructions and live demonstrations are provided. Workbooks: Workbooks have a variety of activities, such as glossary puzzles, short answer questions, practice exams, research topics, and group and individual projects, which allow the student to study and apply concepts presented in the training. Master Training Model The master training model offers the student an additional opportunity to prepare for certification by further examining his/ her knowledge. This model includes the materials used in the standard and intermediate models, as well as the MasterExam. MasterExam: The MasterExam draws from a large pool of questions to provide a unique testing experience each time it is taken. LearnKey recommends a student take and pass the exam, with a score of 80 percent or higher, four times in order to prepare for certification testing. Study guides can also be accessed for the MasterExam. 7 Introduction IC³ GS5: Key Applications Project Workbook
