The TOR stands for Technology Orientation Requirement. All new students are required to take this three part test. The first part is basic computer skills; taking screen shots, saving files as PDF's, using the library databases, etc. The second part is making a wiki page and the third part (the one I feared the most!) is making a web page. I breezed through the first part of the exam, and then began the wiki page. I must say, this was actually fun! The technology staff at Simmons also provided detailed, step by step instructions for both the wiki and web pages. Yes, I even conquered the web page, but this was much more detailed and all done by manually entering the code. I learned so much and was very proud of myself when I finished! Here are some great links if you'd like to make your own wiki page, including what a wiki actually is!
