The instructional materials included in this document are designed to introduce students to the Apple IIe computer and to the word processing and database portions of the AppleWorks program. The materials are intended for small groups of students, each of whom has use of a computer during class and for short periods between classes. The course accommodates various levels of experience, including students who have never used the Apple IIe, and emphasis is placed on students' success in a "hands-on" environment. The materials included are: (1) course objectives; (2) the class schedule and a detailed outline of topics to be covered during each session (introduction to the Apple IIe, AppleWorks and word processing; introduction to databases; advanced word processing; advanced databases; and merging database and word processing files); (3) a list of assignments; and (4) a list of handouts used during the various sessions of the course (directions for formatting blank disks; constructing word processing files; constructing database files; printing database files; exercising database print options; and obtaining help with word processing and database files).
