This in-basket-simulation learning module on the activities of a secretary for secondary and postsecondary teachers and students, the eighth in a series of eleven task and in-basket simulations, was designed to provide individualized instruction in office occupations courses, such as introductory business and typewriting. (Each module in the set is designated A, B, or C, representing level of difficulty from, respectively, easy to difficult.) The module is divided into two parts. The first, developed for teacher use, includes the following: teacher instructions; definitions of task and in-basket simulations; objectives (in-basket tasks to prioritize); prior student experiences; necessary supplies and resources; completion time; method of evaluation; answer key; and answer sheet. The second part, developed for student use, includes the following: objectives (in-basket tasks to prioritize); prior student experiences; necessary supplies and resources; description of simulation situation; instructions; and in-basket items to prioritize. (This module was developed around performance objectives 4 and 7 of the V-TECS [Vocational-Technical Education Consortium of States] Secretarial Catalog. Other related office occupations instructional materials are available in ERIC--see note.) (EM)
