Washington and Lee University
Element K is a web-based vendor that provides tutorials on selected software packages. There are Windows and Mac versions available.
You are able to learn on your own at your own pace with these interactive courses. They are multimedia enhanced with animations, graphics, and sound.
You can take a complete course, get a quick overview of the application, or search for a specific task. When taking the course you can start with a brief test to assess your knowledge of the application and the results are compiled to recommend specific lessons so you don’t review topics you’ve already mastered.
