The University of Arkansas at Little Rock Benton Campus will hold a free summer series of non-credit community courses to help participants learn the basics of running a computer and a smartphone as well as Facebook and Microsoft Office. 

“After a very positive response from the members of our local community in Saline County, this hands-on summer series will walk participants through the very basic uses of a computer, such as start up, email, storing documents, and launching popular programs, as well as the basics of other pieces of popular technology,” said Angela Paladino, academic advisor and program coordinator at the Benton Campus.

The courses include:

May 15: Basic Functions of a Computer

June 12: Basic Functions of Microsoft Office

July 17: Basic Functions of Facebook

The free classes will be held at the Benton Campus at 410 River St. from 9-10:30 a.m. For more information and to register, contact Angela Paladino at 501-860-6003 or arpaladino@ualr.edu.
