HP Classes
Online
Home and Home
Office
Small and Medium
Business
Both sites have a good selection of classes, my preference being the
Small and Medium Business Section. Classes change on a
regular
basis, so be sure to check the sites every few weeks. Each lesson
includes the actual lesson, assignments and questions. There is also a
message board for introducing yourself and asking questions. After
completing all lessons in each class you will get a certificate. All
lessons, assignment, and questions are printable so you can study them
offline. Classes range from learning MS Office, Adobe Photoshop CS2 to
Networking - a huge variety of classes. When you sign up for
a
class, HP will email you when the actual lessons are
available.
GCF Global
Learining
GCF has Tutorials that you can access at any time and actual classes
you can sign up for. There is also a bulletin board available for the
lessons. Lessons are printable. Lessons are always available and can be
accessed at anytime.
This is the first site I have
found that has lessons for Open
Office - Writer, Calc and Impress.
Training Point
From their website: "TrainingPoint is a free online service for
nonprofit organizations and trainers that offers users the ability to
upload and download freely distributable technology curriculum."
They have a nice variety of classes and each can be downloaded form the
site.
Just ran across this in the Langa List -
