The Donley Center is continuing to offer basic and intermediate computer classes to all RI injured workers. Classes consist of three weeks each of Microsoft Word and Excel. In addition, classes in Microsoft Outlook and Internet/Email are available, each in three-week sessions. Many adult students successfully completed this newly expanded program of classes in 2006 and 2007, which are offered again in 2008. Basic Microsoft Word teaches students the basics of word processing such as creating and saving documents, and setting up files. Basic Microsoft Excel teaches students to create lists, spreadsheets, and other documents for recording and measuring data. More advanced functions of creating and enhancing documents will be taught in Intermediate Word, including working with templates, tables, and graphics. Intermediate Excel will cover more advanced features of Excel, such as using formulas, working with templates, and creating business forms. In the Internet class, students will learn how to use the Internet to search for information, such as job leads, and will be introduced to using email. The Outlook class will teach students how to send/receive email and work with calendars, including scheduling appointments, setting up automatic appointment reminders, and other functions. Classes are held from Mondays to Thursdays from 9 to 11 AM and 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, and Fridays from 9 to 11 AM. Students who have some computer knowledge are able to take Microsoft Excel first, but typically those with no computer experience should start with Microsoft Word.
