Computer Skills Self-Assessment

Online students are required to use their CCRI email account, to have regular access to a reliable computer, webcam, microphone and Internet connection, and to be able to use a web browser.

We strongly recommend that you have your own computer rather than relying on computers at office/public sites that are not available to you on weekends or evenings. Your particular course may also have additional requirements such as specific software that runs on your computer, which may or may not entail additional hardware needs.

Online courses are delivered to you in a variety of methods. The following statements can help you assess your computer skills and determine which courses might suit you best.

4. I can send an email with an attachment.
