This is a CD-ROM-based video presentation on Dragon NaturallySpeaking Version 7 (voice recognition software). Designed for both new and practised users of Dragon NaturallySpeaking Version 7, presenter Dan Newman visually guides you through key topics and skills, whilst suggesting various useful hints and tips. Each volume takes approximately 2 hours. The video is designed to complement the printed User Guide and taught courses (manpower permitting, one-to-one tuition is available from the Computing Service).

In Module 1 the candidate will learn about some of the main concepts of IT at a general level. The candidate will learn about the general make-up of a personal computer in terms of hardware and software and about some of the concepts of Information Technology (IT) such as data storage and memory. The candidate will also learn some basic troubleshooting concepts and techniques and how to identify the setup and components of their computer. The candidate will gain an appreciation of health and safety issues as well as some of the environmental factors involved in using computers. The candidate will also learn about some of the important security and legal issues associated with using computers.

• Chapter 1: General Concepts

• Chapter 2: Hardware

• Chapter 3: Basic System Maintenance

• Chapter 4: System Interrogation

• Chapter 5: The Use Of IT In Everyday Life

• Chapter 6: Health and Safety and the Environment

• Chapter 7: Security

• Chapter 8: Copyright And The Law

Module 7 is made up of two sections. In the first section, the candidate will learn about some of the concepts and terms associated with the Internet, especially those associated with security. The candidate will learn how to perform some common Web search tasks using a Web browsing application and available search engine tools. The candidate will learn how to bookmark sites, and to print Web pages and search outputs. The candidate will also learn how to navigate within a Web site and complete Web-based forms. In the second section, the candidate will learn about some of the concepts associated with e-mail and gain an appreciation of email and security. The candidate will learn how to use e-mail software to send and receive messages and to work with message attachments.

The Computing Services Department of the University of Liverpool now offer their popular Fortran 90 and High Performance Fortran Courses in a new interactive Web-based HTML format. Both courses have a similar structure. A topic can be selected from the contents page which will display an overview of the selected subject. The user can then either follow a hypertext link to a more detailed explanation or, choose to attempt a programming exercise instead. After the user has finished the exercise, a solution may be viewed. In many cases the user can retrieve a solution template to help get started. Use of these courses for commercial purposes may be available upon request. The traditional paper-based versions of these courses have been used by many UK academic and research institutions and have received good reports - any feedback on the interactive HTML-based versions is strongly welcomed. The paper-based version are still available.
