Computer Literacy: Welcome!

Massasoit librarians and the Academic Resource Center welcome you to campus!

This Computer Literacy research guide provides introductory instruction & vocabulary about computer use. Gain confidence and skills with time to practice and ask questions.  The lessons' learning objectives include:
 

• Hardware: Students learn the names and locations of hardware, or the physical parts of the computer
   
• Software: Students learn to access software, or the programs and applications the computer uses to perform tasks
   
• Internet: Students describe the five main parts of websites including navigation, links and content
   
• MyMassasoit Portal: Students learn about the most critical functions for student success (email account, Canvas Modules, Navigate 360 for tutoring appointments, etc.)

At the bottom of each lesson, links to self-paced exercises for skill development are provided. 
 

We welcome any suggestions for improvement for this site!  Please contact rzyirek@massasoit.mass.edu with edits.
