ECDL Using Internet Explorer 5
Course Aims
This course is designed to prepare readers for the ECDL module 7 examination. The course will allow readers to browse the world wide web and send e-mail using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0. The course closely follows ECDL syllabus version 3.0, but can also be used in conjunction with the earlier syllabus, version 1.5. |
Assumed Knowledge
Basic familiarity with PCs and experience of using Windows is required, gained either from the work place or by attendance on a "Using the Computer and Managing Files" course. Some experience of using a word processor such as MS Word would be beneficial but not essential. |
Course Audience
Anyone wanting to browse and search the world wide web and use internet e-mail. |
