This 12-hour Digital Literacy series explores the core concepts and essential foundations of using a computer comfortably and well. Many people who use computers only know how to do things that are necessary for their job or immediate hobbies. This series builds on a user’s basic familiarity with computers and teaches helpful and critical skills in three courses: Basic Computing, Living Online and Key Applications.

Hi, We are Dr. Appu Kuttan (Appuji) (NEF) and Dr. Anthony Betrus (SUNY Potsdam)
