When you take an eLearning class you want to be able to focus on the class work at hand and not on the technicalities of the course. Therefore, some basic knowledge of computer skills will be extremely helpful in your experience. Important skills to have are:
Email – have a valid email address and know how to use it (i.e. sending email, attaching files, etc.)
Basic word processing – copying/pasting text, opening and saving documents
Downloading files
Basic internet functions – opening web pages, using search engines, bookmarking
There are a number of resources available to you. You will find some useful websites listed in the
Student Resources section.
If you’d like to take an on campus class to assist in your familiarization of computer skills the following classes are recommended:
BTEC 105 – this class is good for anyone with little to no experience with computers BTEC 150 – This class is for those with a little bit of experience but need to expand their knowledge to become more comfortable.
