Intro to the Internet & Online Services was developed for people and organizations that desire an alternative to DDC's full-day introductory courses, Internet Fundamentals, Navigating the Web, and Exploring the Web.

This course provides a surface-level exploration of methods of accessing the Internet, the role of online services (such as America Online), the Web, and an overview of Web search engines. The focus of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive overview of the Internet and its associated services.

This course requires a live Internet connection. This course is "browser-neutral" and can be taken with either Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.

It is strongly recommended that version 4.0x or more recent of either browser is used.

Connection methods
Internet addressing schemes
