How should TICs be used during Week 1?

• A. To replace human trainers.
• B. To test system security.
• C. To collect personal data of participants.
• D. To support task performance and ensure accurate, timely information sharing.

Answer: (D)

In Week 1 the focus is on using TICs to support how tasks are performed and to keep information flowing accurately and promptly. TICs should act as helpful tools that give quick access to instructions, provide timely updates, and enable smooth communication between learners and instructors. This setup helps learners stay aligned, reduces delays from missing or outdated information, and lets instructors monitor progress and offer guidance as needed.

Using TICs to replace human trainers misses the value of direct guidance and interactive support that learners rely on. Testing system security is a separate IT objective, not the core aim of Week 1 training tasks. Collecting personal data of participants raises privacy concerns and isn’t the intended purpose of TIC use during this stage.
