Hello, My name is Kristy and I want to welcome you to the Hardware Basics training module.
I have been a Technical Trainer for a call center in my area for three years now. I have recently moved into the Curriculum Development department and this is my first real shot at online training so far. I have a college diploma in Computer Support and Networking. As far back as I can remember computers have always been around.
This course is designed for people with little or no computer knowledge. It focuses on the basics of computer hardware.
During this module I hope to give those of you who are not familiar with computers a basis to start building upon. By the end of this lesson you should be able to apply some of this knowledge next time you have a problem with your computer or have to purchase or upgrade a component in it.
Before you start the training compose a quick email titled "My Computer Knowledge" and tell me a bit about your existing knowledge of computers. Have you used computers for a long time? What do you use your computer for? Have you ever looked inside your computer?
Throughout this module you will be given Knowledge Check items to test your understanding and at the end you will be given a final assignment that will allow you to use your new knowledge.
