IT Fitness checks & training for students

Most Birkbeck students have appropriate and adequate IT skills, but it is important to ensure that those who come to us without such skills are not disadvantaged. The IT fitness application provides optional online tools to assess students’ IT competency level on starting at Birkbeck and training materials to improve knowledge and skills that will benefit their studies.

The project covers computer awareness, file management, word processing, spreadsheets, Internet and email use. All materials are within a Blackboard course. Students may enrol themselves onto the course via Blackboard.
