Literacy students, instructors, program administrators, and other life-long learners are all in the group moving along the information superhighway. Some people have been running for a while; others are just starting down the road.  Beginning to use the Internet can sometimes seem as grueling as participating in a marathon.  This short course is designed to make the journey as informative and enjoyable as possible.  With new technological developments always on the horizon, opportunties for learning are endless.
