DESCRIPTION

Prepare students using an online "prep" course in which they can 
experience the online environment, practice and demonstrate each 
basic skill that will be required in a course that is all or partly web-
based. For example, WebReady, a self-paced, open-entry/open-exit 
online computer literacy class, initiated Summer 2001, quickly prepares 
students to receive online instruction. An online course accessible from 
any Internet-ready computer, WebReady consists of an introduction to 
online learning and seven interactive lessons which teach students 
how to use the full capabilities of their browser; how to perform critical 
searches on the Internet; how to send and receive email with 
attachments; how to compress and decompress files; how to access 
PDF files; how to effectively participate in discussion board activities 
and more!
