The following courses are available for online study. For additional information, please see your counselor.
 

Online Computer Fundamentals

(.5 credit/Summer or 1st Semester Only)
(Grades 9,10,11,12)
 

This course combines an analysis of basic computer operation with daily skills practice. Focus is on the Microsoft office suite, consisting of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. The rudimentary nature of the course material, along with an independent study atmosphere, makes this course ideal for beginning users as well as experienced users wanting to broaden an existing skill base. This class is offered as an online course through Moodle, but students will be required to meet face-to-face with the instructor once per week.
