Abstract	These course outlines and instructor's guides were developed for a workplace literacy project conducted cooperatively through the Minnesota Teamsters Service Bureau and Northeast Metro Technical College. They are part of the job-specific curriculum for commercial truck drivers developed during the project. The beginning computer course introduces IBM computers and familiarizes students with the Disk Operating System (DOS), then presents an overview of computer applications in word processing, electronic spreadsheets, and database management. The second computer course is designed to continue computer exploration in greater depth; it is meant to familiarize students with the top 20 DOS commands. The word processing course is a three-session workshop that teaches students to use the PC-TYPE program. Another three-session course teaches the use of PC-CALC electronic spreadsheets. The last course, calculator math, is correlated with a required textbook ("Math Skills that Work"). Topics covered the following: decimals, fractions, percentages, interest rates, estimating, English and metric measurements, and analyzing data using charts and graphs. Each course guide contains some or all of the following: performance objectives, text references, suggested handouts, length of time, topic outline with tips and hints, pre/posttests, and worksheets. Course evaluation forms also are included in each packet. (KC)
