"I Can Teach Myself! Learning the Computer" is Public Domain, meaning it is available for free. The only allowable charges are for data storage media such as disks and CDs, and/or for Internet usage if applicable.

This lesson program was created to help people all over the world who want to learn how to use computers but do not have the financial resources needed to take formal classes.

If you use this program, please email the author ([email protected]) and tell her how you obtained the program, how it is used (e.g., in a classroom setting, for personal use, etc.) and if it is helpful. Any suggestions for future versions are also welcome.

These lessons require Internet Explorer 4.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later, or any web browser that supports frames and forms. However, the lessons have not been tested on any browser other than Internet Explorer.

Although these lessons are meant for self-learning, students will still need guidance from someone with more experience. For example, students with no computer experience at all will need help getting started with the lessons because they require using the mouse and keyboard which are skills the students will not yet have. Students will also need help when they make mistakes and/or encounter problems and error messages. In addition, it is recommended that teachers instruct new students how to move around on the lesson pages.
