Course Description
This
course is a wonderful way of learning about computers. The
inner workings of each device is explained in full detail
with pictures and through dynamic presentation. Also, at the
end of each page is a summary that helps you choose the best
device. So this class can also be used as a hardware buying
guide.
This course also features a message board that allows students to pose questions, discuss class topics and get feedback from the instructor. It's the electronic equivalent to classroom discussion, which can be so helpful in learning.
Prerequisites
None.
This course is written for those who have had little exposure
to computers. However even users that have a good knowledge
of how to use their computer, but no knowledge of how the
devices work, will find this class beneficial.
