The Practical Series

We like to call the Practical Series a CBT with training wheels.
Just what do we mean by that?

The Practical Series combines an interactive CBT (Computer-Based Training) product with a strong textbook to provide a focused introduction to computer skills. It is designed for students or professionals who want to learn enough to complete practical tasks at school, work, or home.
