COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The essential concept of this course is to introduce students to the basic skills associated with word processing and presentation software and productivity. Students will review and continue to refine their keyboarding skills. Students will gain greater understanding and application of word processing, desktop publishing and presentation software features to integrate with their core content courses and real world simulation activities.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

All coursework will be completed during the schedule period. No keyboarding assignments may be finished at home. Students are expected to attend class daily in order to be successful. Learners must build on skills learned and practiced during day-to-day planned activities.
