This course will provide you with a comprehensive introduction to spreadsheets. The course is designed for first-time users with very little or no exposure to the subject. For this course, you will use Microsoft Excel as the software. The course will explore the following fundamental topics: an introduction to spreadsheets, terminology in Excel, components of a spreadsheet, what a cell consists of, and the creation of a spreadsheet for practical use.  You will examine sample files, videos, and books that will enable you to gain practical knowledge about spreadsheets that can be used in daily life, either at work, school, or home.

This class is intended for students who have a basic understanding of spreadsheets and are now ready to delve deeper into formatting, formulas and functions, multi-page spreadsheets, charting data, creating tables that have database features, and be introduced to pivot tables. This class was designed to be an active, hands-on class. You will be creating Excel® spreadsheets and have files to open and follow along as you progress through the units. This class is not intended for a specific occupation or activity, but when you are finished with this class, you will be able to use Excel® in a variety of circumstances to format and manipulate numerical data. Although the resources in this course use Microsoft Excel® 2010, it should be noted that all of the skills and tasks that you will be asked to complete can be done in any version of Excel®. If you stay flexible enough in your thinking and search out the commands and icons on whatever software you are using, you will succeed.

Exploring geographic information systems (GIS) is a self-paced course where participants will learn about GIS and how the technology is being used in the real world to support problem-solving and decision-making. Participants will create and manage spatial databases, produce well-designed maps, and undertake spatial data analysis using free online software tools. These activities require proficiency in fundamental computer and Internet skills. Participants will have the opportunity to obtain digital badges throughout the course. This course is offered through Canvas Network as a non-credit course created by Simon Fraser University. Students enrolled in only this course are not considered students of Simon Fraser University.

This course presents material in discrete mathematics and computation theory with a strong emphasis on practical algorithms and experiential learning. Discrete mathematics, also called finite mathematics or decision mathematics, is the study of mathematical structures that are fundamentally discrete in the sense of not supporting or requiring the notion of continuity. Objects studied in finite mathematics are largely countable sets such as integers, finite graphs, and formal languages. Concepts and notations from discrete mathematics are useful to study or describe objects or problems in computer algorithms and programming languages. The CDM course is currently under development and we are making the course available while it is under development. Only one of the planned fifteen modules is currently available. The module on Groups that is currently available would appear mid-way through the complete course.

This course provides an introduction to Python and elementary principles of computing, including iteration, recursion, and binary representation of data. Additional topics on cellular automata, encryption, and the limits of computation are also introduced. The goal of this course is to introduce some of the techniques used in computer science to solve complex problems, with or without a computer. The Python modules are used to introduce and illustrate conditionals and iteration; additional topics are provided without using a specific programming language and can be incorporated into classes that do not use Python.
