Internet & Email Essentials
About Course
The internet and email are the foundation for almost everything else in modern digital life — from applying for scholarships to communicating professionally. This course teaches the practical basics: how the internet and browsers actually work, how to search effectively, and how to use email confidently and professionally.
No prior experience is required. By the end, you will be able to browse, search, and communicate online confidently and professionally.
The first four weeks build the fundamentals; the applied modules that follow, research literacy, digital communication, and staying safe online, are self-paced and typically carry most learners into their second and third month.
