BRIEFLY IN EDUCATION

Students with Internet access can take noncredit computer classes at

home or the office with “Distance Learning” classes from Orange Coast

College.

These hands-on computer workshops deliver homework through e-mail to

participants at their desired location. Classes are designed to help

students upgrade work skills, learn a new talent or chart a career path

at their own pace.

Workshops begin every two weeks and include: Introduction to

Microsoft’s Visual Basic; Internet Security Principles and Practices;

computer graphics; Web programming; customer service; paralegal; and

personal enrichment classes.

Fees range from $59 to $199 per workshop. The courses run for six

weeks.

Registration is underway at OCC’s community education office, next to

the library. Participants may register by phone using major credit cards.
