Lesson 1: Getting Started & Computer Skills Assessment

Computer Skills Assessment


Some of our students are brand new to computers.  The following questionnaire will help you decide if you are ready to start Learn 2.0, or if you should complete a Computer Skills course first.

The Adult Learning Centre's Computer Skills course consists of four lessons to help you become comfortable using the mouse, web browsers, email, and search engines.

If you answer "No" to two or more of the following questions, ask your instructor to set up a time for you to attend a Computer Skills class or private lesson.
  1. Have you used a computer with internet access in the last two years?
  2. Do you have an email account?
  3. Are you comfortable finding information (for school projects or personal use) online?
  4. Do you understand the difference between a web browser (such as Internet Explorer) and a search engine like Google?
  5. Are you able to use the mouse to navigate from webpage to webpage?
If you answered "No" to less than two questions, you are ready for Learn 2.0!  Please scroll down the page to watch a video tour explaining how to use this 2.0 website.
