All courses are modular, computer-based, & self-paced. All work required for said courses can be done in class or from home. Word Processing Software Applications can also be accessed via the following link: Element K Log In
For this class students will be using Microsoft Word 2003/2007. There is no textbook for this course. They will be using online learning sources such as Atomic Learning and Element K.
