Element K On-Line Learning

Element K is an on-line education website that teaches users about several computer programs. The lessons can be self paced or instructor led. The self paced courses are generally broken up into 15 learning modules. Element K will track your progress for you as you work through each lesson. The instructor led classes are traditional style classes where you must meet at a certain time (on-line of course) and are longer than the 15 minute modules.

Students who wish to enroll in free Element K courses need to request an account. To learn more about Element K, go to their homepage or their course catalog for a complete list of courses.

Element K offers training in most Microsoft products, including Word, Access, PowerPoint, and FrontPage, as well as Lotus Notes applications. The lessons are step by step, and usually have more than one level for either an introduction or more advanced learning for an application.
