Welcome
Welcome to A110 - Introduction to Computers and Computing.
Before you do anything else, please read the
Syllabus very, very carefully. Knowing the information
contained on the syllabus will definitely make your life easier. 
Hint: the first quiz or two will contain questions about the information you find on this web site.
About the Links
Links at the top of the page and on the right should make it easier for you to find what you need to be successful in this class.
The Course Resources page contains information that will be very helpful. For example, you will find complete outlines of all the required NETg assignments and this is where the study guides for all the exams will be posted.
Links in the right navigation box are as follows:
- NETg Logon Page
- You must use this link to login to your NETg Account.
The first time you access this page, you will need to purchase the NETg program. Please see How to Purchase NETg. You will receive an e-mail from NETg when your account has been set up. Please return to this page and follow the directions below to logon to NETg. If you don't go through this page, the NETg program will not recognize you as an IU student and therefore, will not allow you to logon.This is so important, it is very likely to show up on a quiz or exam.
Once you have a NETg account, return to this page and:- Click on the NETg link (above).
- In the left navigation columns, click on Self-Study Training.
- The Self-Study Training list is expanded. Now, click on NETg eLearning.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the last link in the white box - Sign in to IT Training Online
(If you don't go through this page, the NETg program will not recognize
you as an IU student and therefore, will not allow you to logon.) - IUEast Start Page - This is the IUEast Student Asssistance Page which contains links to Oncourse, OneStart, IUWebmail, Special Deals on Computers, IT Training, TechTalk, IUware Online (Software), and much more. Very easy to navigate and a good place to start when you're not sure what you want to do.
- Oncourse Logon Page - Direct link to the Oncourse Logon page...kind of a quick access point.
- TechChat - This is a direct link to the IUEast Technical Support folks. It opens a new window where you can type in any difficulties you're having in the lab. You can get help with such issues as gaining access to printing, connecting to the IUEast Wireless System on your laptop, or any questions you have about using any of the programs on the computer. These folks are here to help.
- Google - Direct link to what is probably the best search engine on the Internet today.
Problem Shooting NETg
NETg is a joint program between IU and Thomson Learning, Inc. When things don't work, you have to make a determination as to where the problem is so you know who to call. Generally speaking, if the problem occurs before you get to the NETg Welcome page, the problem is with the IU IT department. If the problem occurs after you get to the NETg Welcome page, the problem is with Thomson Learning.
Toll Free Numbers:
IU Tech Support for NETG: 812-855-7383 (ask for Chris Payne)
Thomson Learning NETg Support: 1-800-265-1900
