Avoiding Improprieties in Online Computer Training Courses
Computer training courses have become easy to find: it’s all on just click of a button, simple Google search on the internet for computer training gives numerous ‘hits’. At the same time deciding which course to take is a bit more complex. When evaluating computer training courses, several questions may come up in your mind. Each of them play a major part in the decision making process.
The most commonly asked questions include, but they are not limited to the following:
What is the method of course material delivery?
It has long been universally accepted by education professionals that there are three methods of human learning: video, audio, and physical. Audio: the student learns by hearing. Visual: the student learns by reading or other visual cues. Physical: the student learns by doing. But yes, also agree that there are those who learn by a combination of two or more of these. Online computer training courses offer all three. The students learning style plays a large role in determining which kind of computer training course to take.
How much time is necessary to devote for course completion?
Oftentimes students who are taking computer training courses are doing so beyond time constraints of work. Military members are especially subject to time constraints with deployments and duty schedules playing a major role in making this decision. Time considerations are also a consideration for potential students who do shift-work or are on a rotating schedule.
Is the computer training course available 24 hours?
Self-paced instruction or scheduled: self-paced instruction is especially attractive to students who are unavailable to attend scheduled classes. Self-paced allows computer training courses to be completed at the students convenience, yet requires self-discipline.
Is the computer training course available online or will the student be required to attend formal classroom instruction?
Depending on the students work schedule or other personal considerations, online computer training may be the best option. Opportunities abound for hands-on instructor led instruction if location is not a factor. A potential problem with a formal classroom training environment is seating availability. Having online computer training available alleviates this potential problem.
What arrangements can be made towards financing the computer training course?
The majority of educational programs are eligible for government funded grants provided they meet certain requirements. Will the computer training course require a down payment and offer monthly payments? Are there other payment options available? Some employers even offer tuition assistance depending upon what type of computer training course taken.
What certifications can be attained through the particular computer training course? Knowing the relevance of information being taught is of high importance. After all a student wanting to learn a Microsoft application would want to learn about the most current program available.
Other evaluations or course reputation: What have previous student experiences been? Knowing what past student’s experiences with the computer training course is invaluable. Did they find it challenging? Were they satisfied with the material presented? The lack of this information is often a deterrent. Along with this, is the student provided with an opportunity upon completion to provide an evaluation? In other words, opinions count in evaluating computer training courses as with any other training.
Finding the answers to these questions will provide the prospective student with the tools to make an educated decision.

Technology related careers that involve little programming?
I am from a technical background and enjoy my current career in software development. However, I do not want to spend my entire career in a cubicle nor manageing other programmers. In know some companies have employees that look for emerging technologies and small companies to acquire. That sounds pretty cool. Does anyone know of any other technology related carrers or job titles/descriptions that require little to no programming?

How do I fix my very slow computer?
Ever since I downloaded an upgrade of Norton 360 to my computer this morning, it has been sooooooo slow. I’ve deleted my temporary internet files, defragmented the computer, boosted my virtual memory, and nothing has helped. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance.

Why is my computer slow after a fresh format?
I had something corrupted on my hard-drive and couldn’t install most software, including any anti-virus programs. I finally found a trial version online that would install, and discovered I had 26 viruses–after nearly a year without protection, it was no surprise. I still couldn’t install hardly anything, so I saved all my pictures and files to my webpage, and reformatted the computer. I then installed Norton Antivirus, Microsoft office, and the usual games I’ve had on the last 3 computers I’ve owned. I installed all the Microsoft updates, and waited a month before downloading my pictures and files. I waited another month before I felt “safe”. Its been almost 4 months now, and my computer is terribly slow. I have to reboot sometimes 3 times before it will run fast enough to open Explorer in less that 60 seconds. Then the speed is erratic. Sometimes it will be too slow to use in the evening, and then run ok in the morning without a reboot.
