Welcome to Tech Class!

Getting Started

Students are strongly encouraged to start with our Digital Literacy course. It covers basic computer skills that will provide a good foundation for any course moving forward, and it also gives us helpful information about your current capabilities.

That said, if you consider yourself to be confidently tech-savvy you are welcome to skip the readings and test out of the course.

To open course materials, create an account with the Register button at the top of the page. Your tech coach approves new accounts. Once you're approved, sign in on any computer and your progress comes with you.

Navigating Courses

Courses can be found on our Course Catalog page. Each course typically includes three units of material. Unit assignments include readings, videos, and activities to help you learn. When you finish something, press Mark complete at the bottom of it to go back to the course page, where you can see your progress. The Course Catalog shows your progress on every course, too.

Each unit typically ends with a test or a project to assess your understanding. Tests are taken right here on the site. The exact expectation will vary based on individual skill levels, but a passing score is usually 90% or higher. Tests are open-note, and we are happy to offer any accommodations you may need. Don't stress!

Your checkpoints, tests and projects go straight to your tech coach for grading, and your scores and feedback show up on the site. You're welcome to continue on to the next unit in the meantime.

Earning Certifications

Upon successfully completing each unit in a course, you'll receive an official NeuroDev certification. Certificates are awarded at tech ceremonies held every few months and represent all of your hard work.

These certifications demonstrate valuable skills that you can showcase on your resume or job applications. Keep your certificates somewhere safe!
