An On-Line Tutorial for the Administrative Sciences Personal Computer Laboratory.
Abstract
In the spring of 1987, the Administration Sciences Department of the Naval Postgraduate School opened a personal computer laboratory. The lab is designed for students who will be using microcomputers in their classes. It is equipped with 25 IBM personal computers connected through an IBM PC local area network. Four IBM PC AT computers serve as hosts for the network. One stand-alone IBM PC AT is connected to an overhead projector for instructors use. Most curricula taught by the Administrative Sciences Department include at least one course involving the use of computers, either mainframe or microcomputers. Because most Administrative Science students come to NPS with little computer experience, there is a severe need for basic instruction. There are classes available to instruct students in computer usage applicable to their curriculum. However, there is also the need for a quick and dirty introduction to get the students started with the microcomputer as soon as possible. This self-paced tutorial is designed to meet that need. It contains enough information to help the student become familiar with some basic ideas and terms. It enables the user to prepare a diskette, manipulate files, access software, and learn about the network. And, for those students desiring more information, it includes a list of written reference material that may be obtained at the school, and a glossary of frequently used computer terms. (Theses)
