What type of computer skills do I need for distance education ILS courses?
Familiarity with e-mail, Internet and word processing are important to taking classes. If you are new to computers, or have little experience, don’t worry, support is available to help get you started. One of the goals of the ILS program is to familiarize you with tools common in today’s libraries. Additionally, there is a great tool created by the University System of Georgia (Online Readiness Tool). You might use this resource to help you assess whether or not you have the computer skills necessary for online learning.
