[senit] Staff ICT Skills Audit

Hi what do people use to audit staff ICT skills. The

I feel that one of the major merits in auditing staff skills is in the 
process itself:
a group of you deciding on what skills you need in your particular 
context and then working out how to support and develop those skills.

There's the basic stuff on how things work
computer/printers/networks
(hardware: where things plug in, and
various input devices)
(software: how to run programmes)

and then how to work things with the students
which involves  physical and cognitive assessments, setting up the 
computers for access, switch positioning (or appropriate input device) 
and so on
and then using appropriate software to support individuals ICT based on 
curriculum and individual needs

It is all obviously closely linked to staff training and development

There is a very old thing on training staff in ICT which was written for 
my context

http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/meldreth/textandinfo/ITtrain/Index.html

Part 1 is about the computers and basic manipulation of the hardware
Part 2 is about how to use the computers with pupils.

It's massively under finished () but it might give you some ideas.

It could be used as the basis of a skills audit.
(you'll have to add network stuff yourself -since it was written before 
networks).
