myguide is a website that offers an easy and clear introduction to the internet for absolute beginners.
It provides free email, internet search and basic IT courses. It is also possible to personalise your experience by saving settings such as colour scheme, text size and screen resolution – a very useful feature.
The ‘Welcome courses’ require no registration and will provide a great way for many learners to address any online fears, particularly the ‘Feeling fine online’ course which includes video feedback from learners. Courses within the other categories of ’First & Next steps’ and ‘Moving on’ do require registration but after the ‘Welcome courses’ this should not be a problem.
This is a very useful starter tool for those who wish to embrace the benefits of the internet and join the digital revolution. Visit AbilityNet to read more about this website.
myguide appears to be English based so if you’re looking for any local basic IT courses in Northern Ireland try the free EGSA course search or telephone one of our helpful advisers on 0845 602 6632.
