Overview

Digital Literacy is CIS College’s broadest foundations course, built for anyone who wants to feel confident with a computer rather than intimidated by it. Over 60 hours you move from the basics, how a computer and its files work, to the tools people use every day at work: Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Access, plus the internet, email, online meetings, and online safety.

The course is designed for beginners and keeps things practical. Every topic is explained with live examples first, then you apply it yourself on your own computer, and each major software section closes with a small project or test so you can see what you have actually learned. By the end you can navigate a computer system, manage files safely, use the core Microsoft Office applications, get around the internet and email with confidence, and understand the basics of staying safe and professional online.
