Question ID: 46663
I am looking for examples of learning hierarchies for teaching
computer skills. The learning hierarchy can also be referred to as a
"task hierarchy" or even as an "instructional curriculum map - ICM".
It should satrt with basic level skills like turning on a computer and 
operating a mouse and advance to skills like connecting to the internet 
and using a search engine.

Dear holsen,

Thank you for your question.

I think this is the best resource for your purposes. Although, not as
hierarchically structured as some of the other resources. I think the
content probably best suits your target audience as described. I hope
you find this satisfactory. If not, please request a clarification.
