Resources for Online Learning

Getting Started

All you need is a computer connected to the Internet and some basic computer skills. If you are not comfortable using a computer, including managing files and folders, or you do not know how to navigate the Web, the first step in preparing for an online course is to improve your general computer skills. You can take a test online to assess your readiness for online study. If you need to brush up, check local health care institutions, libraries, schools and colleges, and community centers for general computer classes.
