Course Description:
This course provides an overview of microcomputers applications including a brief introduction to computer concepts, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and if time allows Microsoft Excel.
Three websites are used in this course; BrainBuffet; Certiport www.certiport.com and www.cengage.com these will be accessed via Canvas from the Kimberly.edu website. Canvas provides all of our course documentation and is where students will submit assignments for grading. BrainBuffet and Cengage are simulation websites that allow students to practice skills in Office 365/2019. If students want to work from home they do need to install the Office 365 apps from the www.kimberly.edu website. Students will be given the opportunity to Certify through Microsoft for Word, PowerPoint and Excel if time permits. These certifications are nationally recognized.
Instructional Philosophy: Students gain a working knowledge of the software applications found in Microsoft Office 365/2019 sufficient to use these applications for solving problems found in school and work situations.
