Path Overview

Basic computer literacy is a must in today’s job market, so we’ve gathered together everything you need to know to become computer literate right here – and most of it is FREE!

Our Digital Literacy Path starts at the very beginning, with an interactive Windows Navigation course that teaches how to use a mouse and keyboard, as well as how to use common features such as check boxes and radio buttons.

The Windows Navigation course is followed by two additional interactive courses covering Computer Fundamentals and Internet Fundamentals. Students who complete all three courses will be ready to earn several nationally recognized Northstar digital literacy credentials.

The Google Suite course teaches you how to use Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, along with Gmail and Google Drive. This is the only course under Digital Literacy that isn’t free.
