In addition to the tutorials on this CD-ROM, "UCF Info" contains a lot of useful information you can refer to often. The Software Page contains free links to the most useful software for online learning. (There is not a long download time because the software is installed directly from the CD-ROM to your computer.) The Library section is also very useful. |

You will probably be most satisfied by working through your tutorials sequentially. You will want to start from the Learning Online page. Choose one of the tutorials listed above to begin.

When you have completed all of your tutorials, take a few minutes to complete the "I'm A Genius" test. (If you're in an online course, your instructor may require you to print your results page and turn it in.)
