Online documents and collaboration

Start with online forms

The Online Forms mind maps introduce controls that appear in forms. They cover text boxes for entering text, drop-down menus for choosing from a list, radio buttons for selecting one option and security codes used to check whether a user is human.

Start with a map that shows these controls and their uses. Follow each branch, then cover the descriptions and see whether you can recall what each control does. The Form Filling quiz is another resource to explore after working through the maps.

Move on to online documents

Several Online Documents mind maps cover different aspects of the topic. One introduces document types such as text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics and forms. Others cover uploading and downloading, file compression, and levels of access and file permissions.

Use the branches to organize your notes. For example, look at the map on compression alongside the notes on online document systems. The notes also cover compressing and expanding files. Comparing the resources can help you see which points you want to study again.

Explore sharing and collaboration

The mind maps on controls over online documents cover version control when people share a document. The Collaborative Working map looks at ways people can work together when they are not in the same office, including video conferencing, voice over IP, cloud computing and document sharing.

These resources sit in the Online Services and E-commerce unit within Computing and ICT (programming, computer science, digital skills, educational technology). Use them to connect document controls with the collaborative working material on this page.

Use maps and quizzes together

After studying a map, try a listed quiz and use its questions to check what you can recall. Return to the relevant map when you want to look over a point again. You can also use the flashcards alongside the maps for a different way to study.

Choose a resource and make a study sequence that works for you.
