"Core Operating Systems: 1). Understands and performs basic operating system functions" - Performs basic operating system functions
(logs on/logs off, launches programs from the desktop or menu, uses multiple open windows, deletes files)
- Performs common file and folder management tasks and recognizes common file extensions
- Performs basic computer maintenance tasks (cleans external surfaces, empties "trash" or "recycle
bin," restores files from trash, runs virus checks)"1
All of the online courses towards the Masters in Library Science
entailed using basic operating system maintenance. We had to check for viruses both from being infected and infecting others
since we were uploading a lot of papers of other students as well as sending our own Word Document papers to the professor
and other students. Because some students had Microsoft compatible while others had Apples and we had to adjust file extensions
to have everyone be able to access all materials in class.
