Welcome to this short course in accessible digital document creation.  In this course you will find seven separate “Lessons,” each of which is followed by at least one “Topic.”  To choose a Lesson, click on the link that is the Lesson title.  Once you are inside a Lesson, you will see a list of the Topics the Lesson covers.  You can maneuver through the Topics by first clicking on the link that is the first Topic title, reading the Topic, marking the Topic as “Complete”, and then advancing to the next Topic by clicking the “Next Topic” button/link.

When you have finished all the Topics in a Lesson, you will need to choose the “Return to Lesson.”  Make sure to mark everything, both Topics and Lessons, as complete as you go so you can keep track of where you are in the course.  This course should take you no more than an hour to complete.  If you successfully complete the associated quiz with an 85% or higher, you will receive a digital credential for this training through the Credly.com service.
