Learn Computer Skills Anytime
DigitalLearn is a new online learning tool for people who are new to, haven’t used computers or are just not comfortable with them. It's a collection of self-directed online classes that helps increase digital literacy and skills.
It takes three simple steps to get started. To sign up for your personal account:

The DigitalLearn project was created by the Public Library Association and Cox Communications, through a grant by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library is one of three sites chosen to pilot this program. Other sites include East Baton Rouge Parish Library and Pima County Public Library, in Louisiana and Arizona.
