What a great resource! HP Learning Center provides FREE online classes on a wide range of topics of business and home interest from beginner to advanced level. These include such things as technology in the classroom, Office products and other software packages, digital photography, PC troubleshooting preparing effective PowerPoint presentations, Windows basics, and WiFi.

Some lessons are “quick lessons,” which have one session. Others may have 4-6 lessons, with 2 presented each week. Each lesson consists of 4 parts: a lesson (reading), an assignment, a short (10-question) quiz, and the message board. The message board allows for communication with the instructor and other participants, providing a way to have questions answered and extend learning.

I have learned to print my lessons to PDF so that I can go back over them later. Keeping a chart (table in Word) of new learning provides me with a quick way to find things I know I learned but haven’t used for awhile.
